thanks that the global war has not
actually been brought to the Amer
ican mainland, let us be grateful to
our honored dead, and to those who
today proudly wear their country's
uniform and otherwise are assist
ing in the wars prosecution.
America didn't want war, but we
have war We must win and we
will win through the united effort
and spirit of the American people.
Let us hasten the winning of the
war so that we may know the bless
ings of peace as quickly as possible
We don't know the sacrifices that

Parents should not conceal the

This trend, he thought, has counter

should not be subject to danger just
to let them have experiences.
DR.. Robert Berro, director Of the

the Protection of Childhood in
Uruguay, asserted that faith was
more important than cooperation
in child welfare movements.
He disclosed that because Euro

An address by Jasper DeDob-
beleer Jr. on "WCman'S Place in
National Defense" was a program
feature at a meeting CT the Glas-
gov Woman'S club Tuesday night.
He was introduced by Mrs. r. L.
Irle, program chairman, who spoke
briefly on the necessity CT coopera-
ting in price control and nutrition
projects asked by the government.
MI. DeDobbeleer said that a DEM
ocracy fer its preservation requires
an intelligent and conscientious cit
izenry and rests on a religious foun-
dation. Woman's greatest duty as a
citizen is to preserve the religious
and neral standards and sense Of
individual responsibility without
which cur democratic form of gov
eminent will collapse. He stressed
the necessity of patient acceptance
of higher taxes and prices and ra-
tioning Of supplies. A war, like ill
ness in the family, means for the
nation greater expense with less
real income.
