Where is that country of equality, fraternity and brotherhood today? It is virtual ly a nation of slaves, doing the- bid ding of one man. How many of you appreciate the opportunity that is vours to work and earn pay to sup port yourself and your family?

William ston at stake now." The jurist's address was more in the form of an urgent appeal to all people to wake up to the dangers, but he did strike at the fellow who grum bles over the rationing system. "It is not a sacrifice," he declared to give up a little sugar or gas. "It should be recognized as a privilege to help his government," the judge said, adding with emphasis that it was contemptible to grumble. Talking about sacrifices, the jur ist told about a young man who af ter completing his college education last year, returned to his home and went to work on the farm. The day after Pearl Harbor, the fine young man entered the armed services. "The young man's parents were no tified just a few days ago that he had been lost in action. That's sac rifice," the judge declared. "In co operating with the rationing pro gram and refusing, to cheat, one is not doing more on God's green earth than what he ought to do and do it gladly."? ? Discussing some of the other ser ious conditions surrounding our war effort, the judge pointed out that we have suffered for avarice and greed, and said that the love of money has almost wrecked this country. "Pro duction has been limited by some companies who would not release their stranglehold for fear they would lose their monopoly. The gov ernment ought to recapture or take back every penny made out of the misfortunes of his fellow-being." Judge Williams stated he was con fident we are going to win this war. "God is with us and our cause is righteous. But we must win it now and quickly. "All this peace talk is secondary The immediate need is to win the war. America will accept and" dis charge its duty in making and main taining peace. We must win now to save lives, property and time. "It isi-during such crucial times that we should work harder than ev er to administer the laws as they should be administered. Our system is being tested, and I am convinced it will stand the test," Judge Wil hams said, warning the jurymen to enforce the laws, and to let their at titudes improve the attitudes of their neighbors for the promotion of law and order. An improved society will follow," the jurist concluded. After briefly outlining the routine duties of the jury, Judge Williams turned the members over to their officer for scheduled work.
