Quitting time? | '"f | * -v- • . Time for liberty to take a day off? Time for us Americans Io turn our backs and irnore the fact that freedom throughout the world is being threatened? Time for us to forget how generation after generation of Americans have labored and fought to make freedom a living, working, wonderful thing? Quitting lime? Y<mi can bet your life it isn't! It's lime for us to really start working ... to start fighting for the way of life we hive. There are millions—only a few air-hours away in other countries—who can’t enjoy Labor Ihiy or any other day. They traded personal freedom for economic security — und then didn't get security. I-et's not follow their example. Let’s protect our precious human rights here in America. Let’s help restore the rights of those who have Iteen victimized throughout the world. It’s not easy to do. Vet not too difficult. either. We simply do our jobs as good citizens. Study political issues. Read newspapers that represent opposing groups. Find out what candidates stand for and why. Our voles can help lock the door against anv attempts to steal our freedom. Let’s take more interest in civic groups, too. Attend town meetings, union meetings, school meetings, and sound off when we think our freedom is threatened. Quitting time? No indeed! It s time to start working as fulltime citizens!
