M ARK MONDAY, MARCH (5th, as the diy of another American

Thanksgiving. That we who remain in‘this

nation may give dollars in place of our

own lives to hold our freedom secure. That

we shall not walk through bombtorn streets. Nor sleep benzath hell-infested skies. Nor search in the riins of a home for these who

paid a higher price.

IN. ALL THE WORLD of natiots—we are among the fortunate few. For on our

bill for freedom—there are no devastated

cities. No Lodies thinned with hunger. No backs red from the cut of the lash. We

pay . . . with dollars—that these things

shall not come here—dollars, out of the

‘abundance that only this nation has be-

stowed upon its people. And the amount on which we pay no tax is bigger than the income of any but the wealthy i in other

ie countries. fll ve

we ARE PRIVILEGED to, pay and to

work and earn and have what others of : the earth only dream of having. Our wage 3 Scales are thy highest ia the world,

- Our:

~ opportunities the richest. * Our comforts

with all of war's restrictions—the greatest, Our sacrifices—the least.

OUR SONS OUT THERE—where freee

dom is a distant thing—a hope . . . a

- dream of millions now enslaved . . . they

know its fabulous price in homes and lands and industries laid waste. They know the security and safety that is. ours—and how pitifully small the price we're’ asked to pay seein dollars.

MARCH 18T Ho Mark it as a doy of grateful thanks. For the privilege of pay

ing so small a price for the right to live

in safety . .. fo knoW the love of children and the peaceful sanctuary of home . . to worship God without fear . . . to. think your own thoughts, unafraid—speak your

‘own mind, unchallenged—do the work of

your own choosing—and enjoy, for yours self and your family; the fair rowatds of your labor. .

AND GIVE. THANKS To ) 0b that

we live in the only nation on earth where the price of freedom i is so small.
