If you can fight - fight. If you are need ed for defense work - work to the extent of your strength and ability - and then some. And whatever you do - help supply the sinews of war. Pledge to buy l . S. Saving Bonds regularly. If you hope for the future - If you wish to see the dawn of a newr day when the Four Free doms become the basis for a new world order of free men; if you w'ish the world of tomorrow to offer to your children an oppor tunity greater than your own for growth and knowledge and ser vice; if you want to be certain that your children and your chil dren’s children may choose, with out fear, to seek God in the way they- choose for themselves and not as some over lord dictates; if you wish the sacrifices of those who paved the way for you. add ed to your sacrifices of today to make smooth the path for those to follow', so that the law' of love may be fulfilled and the children of the future grow up, unafraid, in a world of brotherhood - Then pave the way now! Dr your share in fighting and work ing for this country of ours - the last hope of free men.
