By Sophie.

Ellwood City, Pa, March IL.
Here we are again after weeks
absence. Remember the bowling
ants the kids used to get for not
writing articles: Maybe l should
turn myself over my knee - No
Well it's time for people to be
solemn and go to church eaci,
Wednesday and Sunday. Easter is
great event in the Biblical his
tory and we must observe it for
seven weeks. which should not be
very hard to do. After all think
Of the wonderful times we haG
before Easter. This does not mean
that after Easter we tear the
town apart but just that we feel
more alive after the celebration.
This town of ours can not pos
sible be any deader. In fact we
are not the only ones-but it is
just an example compared to have
lively we once were. Uncle Sam
put the dalnper ON us pretty
sharp. Well, so much for that kind
OF stuff.
Our next meeting'is March ii,
at 2:3O p. m. We expect a very
good turn out because we have
same very important business and
financial discussions. Believe it OF
not kids. this will be your final
chance to show up and promise
to continue for our boys sake.
We are not doing our best but we
are going to give this last chance
to you March II to see how
much spirit you have left ii any.
Think it over girls!

that liberty and equality were idle

Just as today there are man,
Americans who sneer at the deter
minatioh to attain freedom iron,
want and freedom from fear on the
ground that these are ideals that
can never be realized. They say
that it is ordained that we must
always have poverty and that we
must always have war 49,.

ciples of first things first His stur-

James F. Byrnes, Director Of Eco
nomic Sterilization:

Negative criticism can be help
ful to our war effort and to ou,
country. The pointing out OF er-
rors and blunders helps us to cor
rect them. But negative criticisms
even though literally honest. and
literally justified. may actually be
hurtful to the war effort and to
the country. particularly in war
time. That does not mean that the
government should suppress all
negative critisism of that charac-
ter. Suppression never has beer
and never will be. the policy of this
free America. But responsible
press should be most vigilant to
. see that its negative criticism does
; not have effects far different from
those instead"

COMMUNIQUE
By Ann Bloch

Canton, o., March ll-One OF

order that our boys in the services
will come home and continue the
clubs where they left off = not
to have as an extra burden = tl;e
task OF reorganizing new clubs.
Thanks, Mrs. kelp. we hope to
do our best.
Keeping up our Ir Saxon clubs
may seem a minor detail to most
OF you - but it's the little things
OF which we are unaware. and its
the little things that count the
most. Our boys who are now
scattered all over the globe are til,
very ones who began = or COR
trlbuted greatly to make our asso-
clation a success = why disap-
point them: They are counting Oh
US to do our part just as we
are depending on them; so make
1t your duty to come to meetings
and offer your assistance when
there is work to be done, too.
Then, you are really a member.
