As we start the story, Dick is lying on the ground with his stomach wound band- aged tightly. He is behind a log, with a wall of branches screening him from the view of the lapanese. He is saying to him- self, What am I doing here? Oh! yes, I'm here because I'm supposed to keep Amer- ice free from aggression. But why should I be here? The people back home aren't buying bonds. Then he continues to him- self, Oh! stop it, Dick: of course the folks back home are supporting the fighting men -at least my family is. I can just see Mom now at the corner grocery store, taking her change in war stamps. Then there is lohn- ny passing by the candy store, and stop- ping at the post office to buy stamps and also getting those bonds luanita sent him to get. Besides, there is l7-year-old Bill walking to his war job and not wasting gas and tires on Sunday. Yes, they are all a wonderful family. Suddenly Dick hears a sound in the brush. He is instantly alert. He takes careful aim. Then-Blaml He continues to think of home. Suddenly he hears another sound. More laps? he thinks to himself. Wait! What is that red thing? Hey! those are not laps crawling along. They are Americans- American stretcher bearers of the Red Cross! : .

Listen, children, this is war. We didn't ask to fight the laps, But now that we're in it we can't be saps. Give till it hurts and don't buy toys, Because if you do, it will cheat the boys. The Red Cross helps and it provides, And you can bet it saves plenty of lives. For every boy who is saved today, You probably helped him-in some small way. This war may continue for several years: But if you keep giving, you will save many tears. The Red Cross begs you and begs you again: - If you keep on giving, we're sure to WIN. -iliil.. FREE AMERICANS AGAIN By DIANA HERBERT It was a few minutes before six o'clock and dawn had already broken as the cam- ouflaged freighter steamed into the New York harbor. Early as it was, eager Ameri- cans, free Americans, lined up along the railing peering anxiously at the vague out- line of a Statue they had waited eternities to see. It was their symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty. This statute, greater than anything they knew, greeted they upturned faces of these men and women. There were tears in the eyes ofsome. Many had been in lapan the .greater part of their lives, and now, upon being exchanged for lapanese citizens, were to regain their precious free- dom. Free to speak, worship, read, what they pleased, free to do all the things grant- ed a citizen of the United States. The boat docked, and the crowd surged forth to see those who were now coming down the gangplank. Not all the faces were happy: some were still straining to see if their loved ones were among the last few to straggle off, hoping against hope that they wouldn't be disappointed. Newspaper reporters and newsreel carn- eramen pounced on the tired refugees to fulfill their assignments by getting stories and pictures. One man with a microphone asked a woman this: To what do you think you owe your being able to come back to America? Withoutmhesitation she answered, The Red Cross. B

He's the boy who made that last stand on Bataan and Corre- gidor, who fought the laps in the swelter- ing heat of Guadalcanal, and who had his own private battle against .malaria. He helped to open the second front in Tunisia, and fought his way through to make a beach-head at Salerno. He took Sicily away from the Nazis and captured Naples. He was in the Philippines, Australia, and in the Aleutians. The Red Cross was there also. Yes, all the Iohnny Doughboys are sacri- ficing everything, and when they find a few moments of relaxation, that is when the Red Cross steps in to do its vitally im- portant iob of maintaining morale. In addi- tion to aiding the sick and wounded men, this worthy and far-reaching organization serves as a medium of communication by supplying recreation material and letters for the armed forces and is the only contact between captured prisoners of war and the folks back home. We should all be proud that we are members of the American Iunior Red Cross. 5? THE NATIONAL RED CROSS By NORTON SCHW ARTZ Q Like a silver beam shining in a black- ened heavens, the Red Cross stands' out today as an agent of mercy in a world of death, terror, and destruction. With the world saturated in a bath of hate, prejudice, selfishness, and cruelty, the Red Cross may look down upon man saying, Come, let me heal your wounds and raise your hope! I recognize not race, nor creed, nor nationality, and want only to further man's progress towards peace and fitness of mind and body. The Red Cross nurse serves under fire, in tropical heat, in northern cold, or any other condition and climate to which their duty calls them. Yes, well may we hold the Red Cross and its self-sacrificing workers up as an ex- ample of courage, fortitude, and valor that will win this war. RED CROSS By on.A ORKAND Ready to answer. every need, Each hour in every day, Determined and dedicated to help the cause in every way. Citizens, one and all, I Respond to our plea, Over land and over sea, Sailor, Soldier and,Marine, Success, is sure to be.

I IBILLI I By BOSILY STI-IIN!-IAIIT My name is Bill. My life has been quite an eventful one. My first recollection is a bright sunny day. Many people were gath- ered around what seemed to be a huge tent and from the conversation around me I gathered that the circus had just come to town. Everybody seemed to be in a festive mood, and I was immediately impressed with the idea that the world was a wonder- ful place to be in. I overheard Uncle lim say that he didn't think he'd be able to keep me long, and I was quite upset until he turned me over to Alice. Alice was a very pretty girl with bright golden hair and a cheery smile, but I could see that there was a certain sadness behind her cheerful exterior. All day long she sat there at the entrance with the sandwiches her mother made to sell. I could see that she was having a difficult time making ends meet. As it began to grow dark, Alice packed up a few sandwiches that had been left and began to walk briskly down the street, taking me with her. After going a short distance I saw a huge Bed Cross sign over a doorway, which was A1ice's destination. I could sense how nervous she was as she walked up to the deskl Won't you please tell me if you have been able to find anything out about my dear brother? You said that I should return in two weeks, which would be to- morrow. But I'm so anxious I couldn't wait. A kindly looking woman at the desk smiled and asked Alice for her brother's name. Excusing herself she went over to a large file and a few minutes later re- turned. My dear, she said, I have good news for you. Your brother was able to get to an island after his ship sank and was picked up by a Canadian cruiser. Word has just been received that he will be home on a survivor's furlough in about three weeks. Tears started to run down Alice's cheeks as she cried, Thank God for the Red Cross! With a quick gesture she thrust me at the Bed Cross lady and said, I hope this will help you carry on your great humane work! You may have guessed by now that my full name is Dollar Bill. 0 SOUTH AMERICA By BARBARA onrnwm Here, lands of spice and charm Lie 'neath the spell of olden Spain Each country with its mine or farm With mighty hills or grassy plain. The high Andes rise in the west, Higher than our Rocky chain, Their peaks near the equator rest, Snow covering, they attain. In grains and fruits and meats and cane The plains give forth a monarch's feast. In the rich Amazon valley Between the peaks of the west and east. The Amazon, Parana, and Plata too Are mighty rivers clear and blue, With waterfalls of wondrous height Which bring to View a dazzling sight. Arica, a port in Chile, And Bolivia's Oruro for tin, ' And Ecuador's capital, Quito, Are cities worth mentioning. Potosi brimming with silver And El Misti romantic and old, Chile's thundering Aconcagua And mountains filled with gold. The history of this spacious land Is filled with tales and lore, Of wealth, romance, and adventure Which cover every shore. This is our neighbor and our friend: May this she always be, And may her wealth forever grow, These lovely lands of liberty. I ll! Q ...D fir.
