C-, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1942 WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION “Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto your stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”—Jesus Christ. LABOR DAY, 1942 What happened at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 fore ordained that September 7, 1942—Labor Day—should be the greatest and most momentous Labor Day in the History of Amer ?’a- * or.°n December 7th America was ruthlessly attacked—and in the brief moment that it took treacherous Jap bombers to stab us in the back, America’s’ hope for peace was swept away and °iUr,,c*leris^ie<^ r*t?ht to remain a free nation was dangerously challenged. Almost overnight the greatest industrial nation on earth, iully aroused for the first time, rallied to answer this challenge ... to speed preparations for battle. Not alone in terms of fight ing forces—the Army, the Navy, the Air Corps, the Marines— but with equal determination in terms of working forces. With amazing speed, factories, even whole industries, were converted to war production. Mechanics suddenly became aviation workers, rubber men became barrage balloon makers, carpenters turned into ship builders. A nation was at work . . . labor and manage ment alike ... 24 hours a day, 7 days a week ... to win a war! And in the few short months since Pearl Harbor this nation has achieved the greatest war production record in the history of the world. America has already demonstrated not only its will to win, but its ability to win. So on Labor Day 1942, Aemrican Labor pauses briefly to recognize this heartening national achievement and to declare to the American people, our fighting forces, our government, and to the whole world that the job will continue to be done, that all-out production will continue until victory is won. ioioBuJ American Labor declares more than that on Labor Day L’ . It not only gives evidence that the' production necessary to win this war as speedily as possible will be turned out, but with goods at hand, in the air and on the battlefield, American Labor challenges the deluded Axis idea that Slave Labor can out-produce Free Labor. With a resounding promise that Free Labor will win, American Labor holds out the hand of hope to the enslaved nations of the world. HONOR ROLL OF LANCE, Inc.

McGUIRE Labor Day as a special holiday for the workers was originated by Peter J. McGuire, founder of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers of America. He suggested the idea to the New York City Central Labor Union in the Spring of 1882. The union agreed with the plan and sponsored the first celebration with a big parade and festival on Tuesday, September 5, 1882. Two years later the union declared to hold the celebra tion on the first Monday in Septem ber, and urged other central labor bodies throughout the nation to set up that day as “a universal holiday for workingmen.” ’ LABOR DAY LAWS ENACTED IN FORTY-EIGHT STATES Between 1887 and 1923 every one of the forty-eight States, as well as the territories, insular possessions and the District of Columbia, enacted laws making Labor Day a legal State holiday. The first state law was enacted by Oregon in 1887; the legislature desig nated the first Saturday in June as Labor Day, but later changed the date to the first Monday in Septem ber. Other states enacting similar legislation in 1887 were Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Wyoming completed the roll 'by enacting a Labor Day law in 1923. The Four Freedoms 1. Freedom of speech and ex pression everywhere in the world. 2. Freedom of every person to worship God in his own way— everywhere in the world. 3. Freedom from want—econ omic understanding which will secure for every nation a healthy peacetime economy for its peo ple everywhere in the world. 4. Freedom from fear — World-wide decisions to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent any nation from com mitting an act of aggression against another—anywhere in the world.

I PUTTING 10% OF YOUR EARNINGS INTO WAR BONDS ISNT SACRIFICE...It's Saving! Let's not kid ourselves. Our buying War Bonds Isn't a sacrifice even though the money's badly needed for our country's Victory. We're not giving anything; we’re being paid for lending. He Government even guarantees to return our money safe and sound—plus interest. So where does the sacrifice come in? It doesn't! Unless you think taking a bus in stead of your car compares with wading across a river with a Jap machine gun pouring bullets at you . . . Unless you think resting on your porch in the evening instead of going out on a party compares with crouching on your knees all night in a mud-upholstered fox hole • • • Unless you think spending less and saving more compares with risking your life for your coun try .. . Nobody thinks so. “Risking your life for your country” is a privilege that we who are left behind would gladly share, if we could. And that's why, if anybody’s been buying a Bond now and then and thought he was doing his part, he's been kidding himself. That's why, unless we want Hitler and the Japs to come over and take—not borrow—100 percent of what we've built in a free America, we'd better put at least 10 percent of our pay into War Bonds every pay day.
