The Moon Is Down....
THERE ARE dark nights in Norway.
Nights when Nazi sentries teel uneasy at
their posts.
It is not what they hear that disturbs them.
It is what they do not hear. The deep silence
behind a bush. The stealthy quiet around the
corner of a house. The terrible hush in die
blackness all around them.
For the Norwegians lost their country
without ever surrendering themselves. They
wait now in the night to strike back at their
oppressors.
If they ever had really given in, there would
be no need of the thousands of Nazi troops
now in Norway. They could have been sent
to the Russian front. Or Tunisia. But they
couldn’t be spared.
They can’t be spared in Holland either.
Or Poland or France or Yugoslavia or Bel
gium. In China, tens of thousands of Jap
troops must also remain. And Axis troops
will have to remain in countless countries so
iong as the people they have “conquered”
have the stamina to resist. And it is to our
advantage, as Americans, to see that these
people—-our Allies—are kept in the fight...
with help from America.
You can help support this army already in
Europe—by your contribution to the National
War Fund, which you make through our
community’s own war fund.
For this year, the agencies that can do this
job have banded together to make the col
lection and distribution of funds simpler,
cheaper and more effective. Their job is three
fold. To keep our fighting allies in the fight,
in unoccupied and—where possible—in oc
cupied countries. To provide, through the
USO, friendly help for our men in the armed
services. And to relieve distress where it is
found here on the home front.
Because all these agencies are now banded
together into one organization, you are being
asked to contribute only once for all of them.
Because you are being asked to give only once}
you are also being asked to give generously.
Add up all you would have given to each of
these agencies throughout the year, and then
double the total! It is one of the most important
contributions you can make to victory!
