Jlanaa, fbuifq, Swaice HAVE NOT BEEN RATIONED A N Rationing is a war activity of the people, by the people, and for the peoplefi It is Democracy's supreme effort to limit itself in certain commodities of lesser importance, thereby enhancing its living in other things to a greater degree of freedom. By con- trolling prices and limiting sales, inflation is prevented, our morale is maintained, and the spirit of America uplifted. There is no rationing of theiessential things of life. Educa- tional opportunities are abundant everywhereg religious freedom is enhanced more than ever beforeg things of the spirit are en- riched, while things of the flesh are limited. There is no ration- ing of Honor, Duty, or Service. Many vacant chairs in Middletown High School are a con- stant testimony that there has gone from us a great host of young men and women to defend those things that we love dearly. We are proud of the many members of our school who have felt this call to Duty and have donned the uniform of our country. In loving memory of their noble service and the sacrifices they are making for us, we dedicate this 194-4 edition of the Optimist to them, with a prayer that the war may soon be over and that they may all return home safely. it ,gv ... ..fN.....t...T......- -' N
