A TIMELY WARNING
KEEP STILL
BY RUTH TAYLOR

There is one war job that
every one Of us-man, woman
or child-can do. It isn't ex.
citing. 1t doesn't cost time or
money-but it is just as essen
tial and just as vital to the
men in our armed forces as
deeds Of daring or great feats
Of work.
We can keep still.
I know know-we've been
warned on the radio between
1--WE and symphony day after
day. night after night. Waer-
ever we go there are posters
warning Of the dire results of
talking. But still people rattle
on. And ships go down and
men die because someone said
too much.
I've listened to conversations
on buses and trains. There are
the women who talk to each
other of their husbands and
sons--and where they are;
there are the men who talk of
what their plant is doing, or
of whom Of Importance they
Just saw-and where; there are
even the children boastng
about their big brothers. Not
one Of them would willingly
say or do anything to hurt
those whom they love and who
are fighting for their life and
liberty-and yet daily the lives
of our men are endangered by
Rarelessness.
Let's make a bargain with
ourselves. Let's put a seal upon
our lips and vow that we will
hold back on anything that
might give aid to the enemy.
The best way to do this is, by
not trying to know or to guess
zoo much, by not taking our
soldiers letter, for instance,
and trying to figure out where
he Is from the little things he
says; by not trying to be the
first with information. Let the
newspapers break the news
first-they know whit is safe.
There is another kind OF
keeping still we can do, too. We
can refrain from passing on
rumors which win stir up hard
feeling. We can refrain from
passing on rumors which will
stir up hard feeling. We can
refrain from disparaging re-
marks about any group. We
can refrain from destructive
criticism. The enemy is trying
to divide us from within and
he works with the subtlety of
the serpent. Be not guileness!
Let all disunity propaganda
stop with youl
This Is our war-ciyilians as
much as soldiers. Let's keep
