"The wars over; let's junk the Red
Cross" was n th0ughtless remark OF
an equally thoughtless individual.
II we can Junk" the thousands OF
MANNED and crippled American sol
diers;
III we can Junk" the other thous-
ands who are pennlless, jobless and
without future, as a result Of their
rallying to their country's cause;
IL we can Junk" the agonizing cries
Of distress and suffering that reaches
US from other shores;
III we can Junk" the thousands OF
mothers, wives, children and other de-
pendents OF American soldiers;
II we can Junk" thousands OF new
born babies, whose very lives depend
upon proper care (being taught by the
Red cross)
II we can Junk" the thousands OF
American soldiers and sailors still In
service:
II we can "junk' the welfare of our
own families;
III we can 'junk" the spirit that mo-
hillzed 1OOO0,0O0 children under the
banner of the Junior Red Gross;
In short, II we can Junk" humanity
If we can turn deaf ears TO surfer
ing the world over
Then we can "junk" the Red Cross
Are You q Junker?
