Let US be gay-but always laugh with reason,
Naught's so incongruous laughter out of season,
One can be unlearned yet build his charm poise,
But nothing makes boor like ignorance and noise.
Let US have spirit-but not in such abundance,

Civility and grace every mans Phi Beta keys.
Let's not complain of larger effort or finer sense
We must expend, if by it we gain greater excellence,
Let all who will escape wrongs penalty by might
But build character upon the rock of right.
Let's live foursquare-faith, hope, charity, truth,
Without the vengeful eye for eye and tooth for TOOTH
By paying evil back in kind never cure the curse,
We merely soil souls and make all matters worse.

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-23

1.-THE brother of a waist gunner on a
Boeing Flying Fortress wrote Srudebaker
quoting him as saying;
"Those Wright Cyclone engines that
Studebaker builds are really dependable and
sure have the power"
Comments such as that are fully appreci-
ated, of course.
But Studebaker men and women know
that what count most in assuring victory are
the accomplishments of the stout-hearted
air crews and rugged ground crews of
our country's warplanes and the achieve
ments of our fighting forces everywhere.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-23
Those engines sure have the power!"

In fact, whatever amount of satisfaction the
Sudebaker organization may derive from
the extent and consequence of its war work
is always tempered by the realization that
Studebaker is only one unit in vast Amer
lean fighting and producing team where
everyone's effort is important.
Studebaker takes pride in its assignments
on that team. That's why huge quantities of
Wright Cyclone engines for the Boeing
Flying Fortress-big multipledrive military
trucks for the United Natons-and other
units of vital war matGriel continue to stream
forth from the five great Studebaker factories
