C.—Organized labor again will be called upon to play an important part in the Fifth War Loan which will start on June 12, and ran to July 8. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr„ announced that the goal will be $16,000, 000,000, of which $6,000,000,000 is to come from sale of War Bonds to individuals. “In the Fourth War Loan,” Secre tary Morgenthau said, “individuals invested $6,300,000,000. In planning to pet $6,000,000,000 in individual sales m the Fifth War Loan we are ask; ing the American people for more than ever before. Fifth War Loan goals were set high because the na tion’s treasury must borrow a great deal of money this year to keep the war going. We will need more than twice as much as we can expect to get in taxes.” Ever since the first “Defense Sav ings Bonds” were offered by the Treasury in the spying of 1941, the leadership of organised labor has [ recognized in this program an un usual and acceptable way to help win the war, to fight inflation and, at the ' same tiipe, to protect the future wel fare of the workers themselves, ac cording to James L. Houghteling, di rector of Labor Relations for the War Finance Division. This is one reaaan why members of organised labor have been buying hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Series E War Bonds every month, he said. “Our experience in the Payroll sav ings Plan and in the sale of extra War Bonds during drives has proved that the best salesmen to reach and persuade any given group of workers are their own leaders—union offi cials, shop stewards, and the like,” Houghteling stated. “The country owes a great debt of gratitude to its thousands of volun teer War Bond workers among or ganised labor.” USE THE PAYROLL PLAN— 10% EACH WEEK FOR WAR BONDS AS COOL AS AN OCEAN BREEZE In Properly Cleaned SUMMER GARMENTS Greet the summer looking trim and cool.

Of different professions, different backgrounds, differ ent faiths, they are alike however in that they give more than lip allegiance to their common country. Here are their views on Americanism: They were in accord that he who wishes to be a good American mast be that and nothing more. He may and should respect the traditions of his ancestors but his lot is east in America. Those who came here to the vicissitudes of the Old World contributed to the common pot. From that they drew not only the best' of their own past, but the best of other people’s traditions. Aa one man put it—America is mixed pickles. Everything has its own distinct flavor which adds to the general spiciness. The more per fectlyheble^ing is done, the better the condiment. No one flavor must We are a heterogenous people who are achieving homogeneity—which means that,.coming from dissimilar origins we are achieving similarity be ttuse we have the common ideal of equality of opportunity, of equality of rights for all. But they went further than this. They agreed that a good American does not classify his fellow Americans by their ancestry—whether rthe dis tinction be of color or of national origin. An American is an American, and until he proves himself to be disloyal, must be considered to be purely American—not German-American, IUlian-Amerkan. Irish-American, Polish American and so on. He who so classifies Us neighbor is himself withdraw *hg into a clique that is not American. They condemned wholeheartedly the criticism of people by groups, point ing out that there to no group—(and here to where their broadmindedness was shown, for each picked his own group for illustration)—where there are not corrupt members. They agreed that the proportion was probably the in each group and he who condemned a group for the actions of a few, was laying himself open to equal condemnation. . u >• b**‘«T«* and would fight for any man who Uved up to Us beliefs, that the man he despised was the one who was not true to his own faith. He also said that if he discriminated against any men because of creed, he would be denying the tenet* of his own frith, for he would bo denying that all men are the sons of God. The other quoted his grandfather as saying that the essence of all true religions was in dealing with others as he would be dealt with—and that he had found this to be the practical way Salads Save Points When Made With Lemon Dressings By BETTY BARCLAY i* •very any at your nouse.
