i Bifiinhimi riijiH'i UNITED^ One Nation indivisible As THE srylhe whips through the brittle stalks of waving grain yet / W 'oiihl never enl through a banded sheaf, so the sweep of niech- -M. anized aggression has thrown into slavery and hunger one dis united victim at a time. The lesson is clear. To the Machiavellian strategy of “divide and rule," onr people must present a real UIVITED Slates, a chain of strength in which each link is equally suniid, equally secure. Our testing hour is at hand. i “United we stand, divided we fall.” “One nation, indivisible, with Uiberty and Justice for all.” These have been more than slogans in our nation's history. They have been rules of action and patriotic conduct. They guided Thomas Jefferson, apostle of Democracy, and Patrick Denry, who preferretl Liberty to life itself, in their UNITED acceptance of a Constitution they felt then was inadetpiate, and whose adoption they had opposed. They buried their personal wishes so that this country could start UNITED. country over to the disintegrating schemes and perils of an Aaron Burr. They guided Sqmuel J. Tilden, when in the face of a supposed victory he gave up his claim to the presidency, rather than risk perilous disunion in his country. He sacrificed party and personal ambition to the national welfare.

The spirit of ’76 must he preserved. In a UNITED States of America lies our greatest defense, our only security in maintaining “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” T/tvfte MPitiinivn/M are prenented io your nt/ention by the cooperation ot the following citizens of Jean’s Dress Shop Wilkes Drug Store "On The Square” Gaddy Motor Company Western Auto Associate Store Liberty Theatre (Defense Stamps On Sale At Box Office) Allen Theatre The Call Hotel (I.
