In famine he shall redeem thee

SILENCE ISN'T ALWAYS
GOLDEN

And such people ought to be told
off. Public opinion is a powerful
influence and we ought to use it to
make the slackers and the shirkers
and the wise guys settle down and
do what they are supposed to do.
Besides it is a lot healthier to
have citizens who are doing all that
is asked of them telling those who
aren't where to head in than to
have them keeping silent because
they want to be polite or because
they are afraid of appearing naive.
If that goes on long enough the
people who are doing their duty
now will get fed up with conditions
and get around to saying, What's
the use of bothering?'
So when we know good and we'll

all responsibility for winning the
war let's sound off-either with
three blasts of our horns if we are

wartime-even if you're only fghit-
