Today, we all owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to men and women in the uniforms of Uncle Sam’s fighting forces. They’re on duty today at the four corners of the earth and on all the seven seas— protecting our lives and our way of life. And we musn’t overlook the splendid job that other men in the uniform of our police forces are doing. Their “zone of operation" may be Indiana rather than India, it may be the highway to the next town rather than the airways across the Atlantic, but their job is fundamentally the same — protecting us and ours. We in Indiana can indeed be proud of our police organizations — city, county or state. Most of us have few occasions to call upon the service of our police forces —but that in itself is a tribute to their efficiency. They’re on the job day and night whether we need them or not PUT ANOTHER BOND IN

Some of us in the Greyhound organfza.tion, because of the nature of our work, have more frequent occasion to cooperate with the police than do many of our fellow citizens of Indiana. For instance, we are in a position to see clearly how much the police of this community, as well as those of neighboring communities, have contributed to the safety and convenience of bus transportation. The aid these men have given in arranging the most practical and satisfactory routes through towns and cities is typical of their skillful handling of all traffic

problems.

Greyhound’s most important job, as we see it, is to make near and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve In Indiana—and we feel that the able cooperation of police forces throughout the State has made it possible for us to do this job with greater efficiency. THE BATTLE — BUY IT NOW!

* Mary Pickford's interest in children and their future as citizens finds a natural outlet in her position as Chairman of the Women's Division of The National Foundation for infantile Paralysis. Her adopted daughter, Roxanne, with whom she is pictured above, gives .Mary a poignant reason for her militant effort on the American Health Front. Miss Piekford, appointed by Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation, has selected leaders in the forty-eight states and in the territories to carry the women’s fight against the children's enemy on the home front.
