THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HttklANS MACONIAN THURSDAY; SEPT. 17, 1MJ Nonh Carolina : PHIS ASSOCIATIO A MIGHTY FORCE TWENTY-FIVE years ago, on September 15, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson invited Amer ica's school children to become partners in war and peace with the American Red Cross. Thus was set in motion a mighty force one-fifth of the population gathered in the schools of the Na tion, became organized as the Junior Red Cross, for an active share in the national task of win ning the war. Membership mounted to 12 million. During World War I this army of youth raised three million dollars for war relief and made nearly 16 million articles for the soldiers and the Red Cross Child Welfare program in Europe, be sides taking part in the war program at home. A story of mighty achievement has rolled up since this beginning in time of war, guided by the teachers in the schools and inspired by the fol lowing objectives during the years of peace be tween the last and this war: (a) To develop so cial consciousness; (b) To guide humanitarian tendencies through activities for community needs; (c) To give practise in social and civic responsibil ity of a local, national and international charac ter through participation in the work of the Red Cross wherever needed throughout the world; (d) To teach the social aspects of health physical and mental and emotional fitness; (e) To pro mote world understanding. After the last cannon was silenced, the Amer ican Junior Red Cross started reconstruction activ ities with a million dollars to care for the needs of starving children in the war areas of Europe and Asia Minor. Projects were carried out for chil dren made deistitue by war and to fit them for use ful lives in their communities. The Junior Red Cross was organized in all the countries and let ters were exchanged between these children and the children in the schools of the United States. By 1937 a world membership of 18 million had been reached and helpful activities were being car ried on in schools all over Europe, Japan, Thai land, Iceland, and a number of South and Central American countries. Now, the qualities of leadership and coopera tion and of skills developed through the 25-year- old existence of the Junior Red Cross have made the more than 14 million members capable of as-sumino- maior resoonsibilities in this war. To enumerate only a few of the major projects : there are the tovs and clothing made lor nospitais, training in First-Aid Water Safety, Accident Pre vention, Nutrition and Home Nursing. The Jun ior roll rail will soon be launched to further ex- tend this work to meet ever-growing needs of the nrpepnt war and future reconstruction. The extent and quality of these achievements If the total nuoil ooDulation of the schools of this nation cannot be measured. It is a mighty force, often invisible, working for the "healing of the nations."

Press Comment A PLEDGE FOR AMERICANS I am a citizen of the oldest republic in existence. I am proud of it. I take pride in .being a iree citizen in a free society, but I know that the priceless blessing of liberty is not a heritage, but is won afresh or lost by each generation. T therefore oledge myself to all those Americans who have gone before me and to all those who wil come after me to do my part and to pass on this Freedom. I will listen to no idle ru mors. I will repeat no ob structive gossip. I will support loyally and in friMidshifn all the United Na tions who are joined with us in this righteous compact to defeat the Axis powers. t know my country musl. win. this war. amd I will conduct myself as if I alone bore the responsibility for the victory ot Democracy. In the words of a soldier of other days, "I will work, I will save, I will sacri fice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfuly and do my utmost as if the issue of the whole strug gle depended on me alone." I dedicate myself to this cause, I swear that to win it, I .will make amy sacrifice, how ever great, and perform any task, however humble. New York Times.
