A lo% Pay-Roll Allotment for 'War Bonds from'the wages of the familY bread-winner is one thing-a 70/o Pay' Roll Allotment from eacb of sercral uorkers in ,be same fanily is qaite anotber matter! Ifhy, in many such cases, it could well be jacked tp to 30%-50% or even more of the family's neu moneyl

That's why the Treasury Department now urges you to revise your'!Var Bond tltinking--atd your ITar Bonl selling-on the basis of fanil incomes. f.ne cunent lVar Bond campaign is built around the family unit-and labor-management sales programs should be revised accordingly.

Much discussion of courage, bravery, fear, etc., with relation to war and battle. General Douglas MacArthur was recently quoted as saying that "most all soldiers are afraid." Robert Louis Stevenson sirid that courage consists in doing something you are mortally afraid to try. Mark Twain, who said things well, declared that "courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.', ***

A stout-hearted friend of mine who fought in the first World War and is fighting again in this one, insists that a man facing death is always afraid; but that doesn't keep him from meeting it face to face. And he speaks from experience. +:f* rsrael Putnam, ot .""tj ;.:r""" history, used to say that he deserved no credit for being brave since he had never been afraid of anything.

Another old lumber friend of mine who was one of "Pershing's Hundred Heroes" in the first World War and was cited for exceptional bravery, has never talked to anyone about his exploits. \Mon't do it even now. If you corner him on the subject and want to know what happened and how, he just says: "Aw, I was drunk."

Looks like we've already produced scores of fighters in this war fit to be classed with the immortal Alvin York of the first World War. And, like York, most of them have lived so far to tell the tale. And what stories they tell ! It has long been maintained that "truth is stranger than fiction," and this war has certainly taken most of the color out of the wildest fictional tales-by contrast.

You sit at your radio and listen. while they interview many of these plain-spoken heroes-totally unimpressed with their own heroism-and the things they tell make the stories of Horatio Alger look cheap by comparison.

War is certainly a stern teacher of stern things. ***

Madame de Stael said on the scafrold: "Ah, Liberty! What crimes are committed in thy name !" And we can well paraphrase her famous words as we listen to tales of dauntless heroism of our American soldiers and sailors, and say: "Ah, Liberty! What marvels are performed in thy name !"

Liberty. The French convention of long ago gave the world a definition of Liberty that has since been accepted as the most perfect definition ever offered, when it wrote: "The liberty of one citizen ceases only when the liberty of another citizen commences.t'

Victor Hugo wrote: "Man is neither the master of his life nor of his fate. He can but offer to his fellow men his efrorts to diminish human suffering; he can but ofrer to his God his indomitable faith in human liberty."

In St. PatriclCs Cathedral in Dublin, frehnd, over the remains of Jonathan Swift, is this inscription: "Here lies the body of Jonathan Swift, Dean of this Cathedral, where fierce indignation can no longer rend his heart. Go, wayfarer, and imitate if thou canst one who, so far as in him lay, was an earnest champion of Liberty."

All the war comrnentators, political and journalistic, take as the text of their remarks the sentiment that this war must be so ended that it will put an end to wars for all time to come. I'll say one thing; if there is another within the next one hundred years, it will have to be on the cuff; "for free" as the kids say. This war we're going through now is going to soak up all the surplus dollars and credit of generations to come. ***
