‘Casualties of War and Peace’
Indifference, or neglect of the
non-combatant may have adverse

wake wounded thousands who are
forced to drop out of the economic
battle, which must be waged in
peace as well as in war.

practical sense for the Mobile

homeless, the fire fighters, rescue

Britain in its critical hour and
l thev can be content with the
realization that the plaque in
scribed “Donated by Tryon—Polk
County, North Carolina, U. S. A.”
will bring a comforting assurance
of friendship to the dauntless men
and women of England. This is
essentially the people’s gift for

section of the county; from the
