Call To Shame

Eddie Rickenbacker rose from the dead-so close
to the dead he could hear the death watch tick-to
shame
He came home from journey to the far battle sta
tions in course of which, for "a days. only fimsy
rubber raft raft which could be made from one tire
saved stood between him and the bottom of the sea-
He came the sight of sons and brothers fight
ing brutal enemy through mud and slime and dead
ly iunges on deah-infested in treacherous air.
He came home to find his countrymen engaged in a
scramble for Christmas toys the most turpuleht p'V-
ing spree in history.
He came home to hear the quarres of the greedy
bocs in congress- hear of the for higher
wages and higher prices and slower work He came
back to listen to safe, people lament the restrc-
ton ON their sugar coffee and gasoline. We fight for
our stomachs and our desires, While the men Eddie
Rckenbacker watched fighting in New Guinea and the
Solomons gamble their lives to our skins.
Eddie Rickenbacker did not make quite as bad as
that: for in truth isn't quite as bad as that The
greeds and the growlngs and the ockeyings are the
work of minorities he could have been ap-
proving qualities of fighters and OF our light
ing machines. Yet on this very day Dr. Gallup was
finding in sections of country farhest from the
hattefelds many 40 per cent or the people I'M
able to see why they should give up gallon or two
of gas to fight this war. We have done much but we
could have done so much more. We could read the
sickness at heart of Eddie Rckenbacker between the
lines when he ventured this: Could the from the
armies brought back to the factories, and the men
of the factories the battle front production for
war would be doubled. The men in the armies, work
ing in the factories, would know from their own ex-
perience at front the desperate need of their COM
rades on the battlefield and would speed their hands
accordingly.
The address of the great flyer might well be
drilled into every in every business office, farm
or factory IT many of us seem greedy slothful and
self indulgent in the face of the nations crisis it is
because minds have been sluggish and hearts
not reached with fire. Some of us, to get the facts
must be shocked into seeing ourselves the men on

bureau says Don't give the enemy anything that may

rule, careful not to give any information that might

far during World two, the casualty list has been
very small and every effort must be made to keep it
that way.

a cross in his heart during these

When you come to the last

And yet, he who so loved life

without companions. His name
was Father Cherouce and he
chose as his mission the for

is now Washington, where the
Flathead Indians lived an d
where he could not hope to see
a white man in months or hear
