The Slaughter OF
The InnOcents

Congress has deliberately and
with malice aforethought, INDUCED
in the greatest mass slaughter
of modern times.
The C.C.C. the browning glory
of the New Deal has been pierced
through and through.
Every congressman voting for
it's elimination should be decorat-
ed with a medal for distinguished
service, a compliment from the
Axis.
A drunken sailor doesn't care
how he spends his money; neither
does a congressman care how he
spends the peoples money. 1t does
seem poor judgment to destroy
so mucht good for such small saw
ing.
Well done. Your political future
should meet the same fate.

ALL Have War Job

Total war involves creation of
a tremendous human pyramid. At
the apex stands the soldier. Be
low him are skilled workmen,
transportation workers and the
workers in mines and forests who
produce the raw materials. At the
bottom are millions of civilians
doing a hundred-and-one everyday
tasks that keep the home fires
burning.
It's just like a circus act, too
if one performer falls out of place

welcome at all times. This is a
place where friends may come and

You don't know what to say;
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort of way.
But every body says they know
it's Johnnie Campbell, because
there is no kind word or act too
small for Johnnie. And a host of
friends are going to give him a
right royal welcome when he

the whole pyramid is in danger of
collapse. That's why the war man.
power commission must see that
the pyramid is stated from apex
to base with exactly the right man
and the right woman-in the
right job.
In the final analysis there is
scarcely any one who doesn't have
a part to play in this gigantic
effort-whatever his age, sex, race
color, birthplace or physical con-
dition.

q frightful price for this gain on
