“OPEN THE DOOR”

AND LET SPRING COME IN'

WE THINK that perhaps the people who invented February were wearied of winter—and purposely made the month short—to bring Spring closer.

FEBRUARY is quite a month at that— historically (and sentimentally).

IN FEBRUARY are the Birthdays of Two Americans whose names will shine forth brightly over history's pages fill the end of time—George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. (And on February |1— is the centenary of the birth of a man ‘who helped materially to make the world shine brighter—Thomas® Edison.

AND FROM THE 2th to the 22nd— from Lincoln's Birthday to Washington's— National Defense Week (as a compliment because the week is so important it has been given 10 days}—will be observed.

AND THE U. S. NAVAL RESERVE is being augmented and strengthened to keep in constant touch with the developments of the regular Navy. The local Brigade has a quota of 1400 men— and while it leads all the large cities in the Middle West in rate of growth—it invites (urges) additional memberships— from those who have been actively engaged on battleships, carriers, destroyers and land bases throughout the world. (A military Ball is planned for Saturday Night— : February 22nd.) * For details call WA. 5800.
