J and pitiable victims OF modern
war.
Today American boys by the
Thousands are away from hoAe,
away from the wholesome recrea-
tional facilities and from the re-
straints home life provides. Many
of them are on distant battle
fronts Many others are still with
in the country preparing for as
tive duty. One and all ned help.
Otherwise lonesomeness and the
social dislocation their new life
imposes may rob them of their
high moral, their fighting spirit.
1t becomes an imperative duty,
therefore, to provide these boys
with their recreational needs.
Local welfare, child-caring and
character-building agencies call
to the public-spirited people OF
this community to supply for an
other year the funds necessary to
carry on the fine charitable work
they perform. Despite the many
jobs available, there are in this
as in every other community a
godly number who cannot respond
to the call of the ship yards and
other vital defense projects. The
orphaned and the aged, must still
look to others if they are to have
food in their mouths and clothing
on their bodies. They are COM
munity responsibility. And the in
creased cost of living has but ad-
ded to the difficulty of providing
for them adequately.
Right llow every abIe-bodied
person in this community can be-
come a wage-earner If he is not
so already. A fine Christian way of
showing appreciation for ones
present earning capacity is to give
generously r. the United War
Chest. Wages are good. BUT only
those working on the home front
can benefit from them The boys
serving their country in the arm
ed forces must be content with
comparatively meager pay and
must face the rigors and possible
dangers of war, besides. They
deserve, as do also helpless un-
fortunates at home and abroad,
helping hand. Good wages make
it possible to extend that helping
hand. To withhold it would be
selfish and un-Christian.
