With our nation at war we realize that victory can be won only through close union with friends and allies. A closer cementing of relationship with our neighbors will cause us to band together against the common foe. We need to establish a Better Neighbor policy; consequently we have chosen a theme that will make us more conscious of our neighbors to the south. Our Latin-American theme will, we hope, create a keener awareness of our South American Allies for now and all time. To become friends, we first must be better acquainted. Sc here ' s to South America — a closer bond of friendship — and a better under- standing of each other. May we become for all time closer friends and neighbors.

Death has ended their final chapter here on earth, but some- where in a shining new land we know they are turning pages of a new and unrevealed life, and that each newly turned page offers new and everlasting glory to them. So let us not grieve for them. Life ' s most glorious adventure. To meet death is but to face
