The Spring A Young Lady’s Fancy 99 THE CHALLENGE OF THE DAY 'J'hc sudden passing of President Roosevelt from the Life Militant to the Life I’rinniphant has been indeed a great shock to all freedom loving people. It may well be that before these words are read that the war in Germany may be over. Shortly follow ing this release the great San Francisco conference will take place. In his passing, we have lost a leader of rare foresight and courage. Few of us ever realized the tremendous effect of his leadership on the people of our allied countries. As the writer sees it, our present situation calls for the utmost effort on the part of everyone of us to assist in every way possible the full and com plete prosecution of the war. Secondly, to back with ever}' resource, the effort of the United Nations to effect both a just and enduring peace. Let us cling to the high qualities of his leadership in doing our part to help fulfill these two unfinished, yet, close at hand, ob- jccti\es.
