S+ares at Meek Woman

TT WAS al this precise moment that a meek
little woman came along, Margie stopped
talking abruptly and stared at the woman: VINO
talked right on All of which caused Margie
10 grab the arm Of her neighbor friend.
''Did you see that" Margie asked "She
turned her head away from me-and no wonder!
You don't know her. hut remember her only
too well. She's shameful woman And I'm
going 20 tell you story about her that will
positively make you blush"
The neighbor's eyes popped. She couldn't
wait 10 get Margie back in the street where
they could talk They jostled their way TO the
cashier argued about the total amount, couldn't
find the proper change and finally left with the
vow that they would not patronize that store
again.
The red-headed manager came out OF the back
room with dazed expression
"My mind is made up" he told the butcher.
"One more argument with her and I'm going to
get me a priority on n sanitarium."

SETSFREE!
by RUTH TAYLOR

As the fortunes Of war wax
and wane all over the globe, there
is one battlefront that is under
constant fire. Our minds are al
ways in the front line of attack.
The poison gas Of conflicting. dis
ruptive rumors are daily let loose
over our heads. Enemy sappers
are constantly attempting to tun-
mel through from ali directions
to undermine our courage and
staying power Our morale is un-
der an enfilade from all angles.
OF course when we stop to an
alyse what we hear we can usual
ly recognize divisive propaganda.
We are mature, thinking people.
We know from whence stem the
stories that tend to make us dis
trust our leaders and criticize the
policies of our government. That
tend to make us look upon our
fellow citizens as greedy, avaric-
ious men, intent only on their
own profit - (be they workers,
farmers, or industrialists) That
tend to make us assume our
neighbors have alien sympathies
or Interior motives depending
upon how pronounced their par
tieipation in the war effort seems
to be.
We can recognize these things
as enemy propaganda when we
stop TO think Unfortunately there
are occasions Cand they will be
more frequent as the war con-
tinues) when we are so tired and
disturb'% by the press of things,
that we won't take time to an
alyse what we hear - when we
will listen with our ears and not
withour minds, and when the
NoAoNohl iNpttilioH u ulNiSlNe
charges, of slurring remarks, of
accusations, of half-truths will
find us believing in spite of our
selves. If that happens to enough
of us at the same time ~ it will
mean dangerous break in the
line of public morale.
There is one sure way in which
we can successfully fight this dan
ger - that is by administering
the truth consistently and con-
stantly. We must go directly to
the point. We must deal with
each case as it arises. judging it
on its individual merits without
regard to class, creed or color.
We must face each charge as it
is made and learn what are the
facts. This is the only way in
which we can quench fear - be-
cause we will be discarding half
lies in favor of the truth.
We must guard our speech. Let
every thought of divisiveness end
with us. Let us have no defeat
ism. even in talk at home. We
must be our own "Rumor Clinic"
searching out the "why" of every
statement.
We as a nation cannot govern
ourselves by deceits and frauds
we must know the truth - and
if we know we are hearing the
whole truth we can take it
because we scan believe what we
are told - not fear something
worse. Only the truth can make
men free from fear.
