THE AFTERMATH.
Now for optimism. A smile. A
plea sant word A hopeful view. A
prayer for the blessing of victory.
Let US resume as nearly normal con-
ditiOns as possible. Avoiding Waste
Avoiding the Pessimist at the same
time. Be rational. Be unselfish
Have feeling of interest and solicit
ture for the other fellows problem
And we shall get thru the period of
reconstruction and readjustment with
credit to ourselves. In doing this.
Don't hurry. Don't worry. Don't get
angry. Don't aggravate others. Eth
er individually or collectively. Just
stay put. Without excitement. Plac-
ing your trust in the benefits which
surely come with a hopeful spirit.
Heed this admonition and the Ameri-
recent world tragedy will become
superintendent. A Civilian Ace. And
the American Nation, now standing
so high in the eyes of the world, will
furnish another splendid example
that of serene ability to face and make
the very best of any situation. AS we
generously help the world, we help
ourselves. N s. A.
