WHY USO MUST CONTINUE

To The Editor: The other day I heard someone say, THE wars

Sure the shooting war is over. But try to tell the thousands Of
boys sweating it OUT in hospitals that they n longer need entertain

You'll get a rather grim reply. Maybe no reply at all And this
tight Tipped silence is worse. because the fear and uncertainty in g
hospitalized mans mind is a terrible thing.
Ever go through a veterans hospital? I don't want to play Hearts
and Flowers but such a trip would make this letter unnecessary.

Of all his fears. that he might be forgotten. That can eat the heart
out of a strong man, frighten him more than a hail of bullets.
There's a difference though. The enemy he could fight. But in
difference from his friends and even loved ones. he can't fight that!

up against a stone wall in which

Then is the time to stop and

Our doubts are traitors, and
make us lose the good we often
might win by fearing to attempt.
Long before him, Seneca had said

LIFE AT
A GLANCE

1t is rather hard to deviate from

somehow one is inclined to think

sitting at times.
Let's look, or take a quick glance
at some pleasant evidences of our
great Democracy. OF are they
pleasant or confusing? Take for
instance, the ads in the street cars

is one of the means by which you
may overcome this defect, and it
is well that you practice before a

the habit of lisping, speak care
