l started to wrfSe, There isn't
much to be happy about this
Easter" was thinking, of course,
Of the war and of what 1t has done
and is doing to ali offus. And what
1t has done and is doirg and prob
ably will continue to do for some
time, even to the EnGst fortunate
Of us, is something short of pleasant.
But then thought OF other people
In other parts of She world-in
Austria, Czechoslovaiia, Poland,
Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands,
Belgium, France, Great Britain,
Russia, China, the Philippines, even
in the Axis countries. And I realized
that, though we are having our
troubles, though our men are risking
their lives all over the world and
we at home are suffering incon-
veniences and even worries, we still
have much to be happy about
more, at any rate, than any other
people on earth. So-----
Again this year, az in the past.
The Junior Star wishes its readers
happy Easter.
