Each Ecar the section gives a

impossible to repeat its success an
other year. but the succeeding party
lis alway as enjoyable as its prede-
|cessors.
Decorations are always exception
ally clever carrying out a different
theme each year, and this year they
carried cut a Mother Goose theme
which provided a chaming back
ground for the party.
As the guests approached the cluo
house they received a hint as to
the decorative theme, for on either
side of the entrance were Mother
Goose figures, including Mary, Mary

As far as coffee is concerned, the

all the necessary protective qualities, and
We have proved it to be entirely satisfactory
for packing. In appearance you'd
hardly know the difference except it has a
soft, bronzy finish instead of looking as
bright as a new dollar.
Initial steps in the general plan to
help save tin we're put in motion long before
tho end Of OIL. To thoroughly test enam.
clcd blackpIate before its complete adop-
ton, we have been using it for tops on some
cans and bottoms on others, even while we
were continuing to pack coffee in all-tin
cans. This explains why grocers may for some
time still have Hills Bros. Coffee in an assort-
mcnt of tin and enameled black plate cans.

months YOU will sec many of your old favor

others it will happen fast.

We have faith in the future of America

WHAT MAY WE HATE
by
Ruth Taylor

There are some people today who
are saying that what is lacking in
this war is a good hate-that until
we begin to hate, we won't begin to
fight. They want our propaganda
keyed to a horror theme. so that our
people will be mad with rage. They
forget that mass hatred is just a stem
from mob hatred-and that no one
can predict on whom the mob will
turn next.
But if we cannot hate a people
what may we hate?
We may hate war. We can hate
war so much that we will fight with
every ounce of our ability to wipe it
from the earth forever-not in a SER
vile withdrawal from the fight, but
in a supreme battle against those
criminals who bring desolation and de-
struction upon the peaceful peoples of
the world. We can hate war so much
that we will gladly put aside our way
OF life for while so that we may
speedily put an end to war.
hate intolerance so intensely that we
will try to stamp it out wherever it
exists, in any place in the world,
toward any group, whether that group
be majority or minority. We may
hate intolerance so much that we will
set seal upon our own lips and see
to it that no intolerant act or speech
Of ours adds flame to this funeral of
unity.
