Freedom of CHOICE «
ALL THE TALK about Freedoms, what about
vv freedom of choice? j
After all, freedom of choice can mean the aarne thing aa j
all the other freedoms people are talking about- and a few !
others besides. In large measure, freedom of choice is what j
this war is about. ^
Freedom of choice means such ordinary things as trying
toy beans in the south held next year, if you think it's (bn*
thing to do. It means buying the kind of flour you
gives you the best biscuits. It means you and your bog
doing the deciding whether he’ll go to college, or learn ts
be a toolmaker.
f Freedom of choice is the soil in which character grows.
! This freedom of choice—and its counterpart, a sense of *
responsibility for the decisions made—has done much to
develop the character that is going to win this war—on the 5
battle fronts, on the farm, In industry. And when the vie* i
tory is won, the kind of America we have fought and worked )
to preserve must be a country in which every man and woman, j
and every boy and girl, will have freedom of choice in even •
greater measure. General Electric Co., Schenectady, N. Y,

Of children and peace through

the Brick Presbyterian Church,

"The tidings of great .toy of j
which the angels sung- centered (
in the birth ol a child. That was , a
God's chosen way of coming to »n
a%'e the world," said Dr. Merrill, f
“Wha. about children, now?
Many of our leaders ale distur

that it is us necessary ’o have a ;t.
world safe for children as it is! £
to have a world safe for demo
cracy lhe suilerings and deaths
of little ones all over the world j t
is a great tragedy. What it Her- (

that a child should be bom, s
