FREEDOM AND PATRIOTIIM Patriotis is loyalty to one's country, and that loyalty reveals itself in our efforts to make our country a place in which we like to live, a place in which we and our neighbors In order to care about. Then the ameliorations like our children, our friends, to live. be a patriot we must know what we we must strive to have a part in of our country. Thinking is the basic duty of a patriot in revelation of his pa- triotism. At present, greatest war in history. It is respect for civilians. It is a is the marvelous alone on sea, as was the War of we Americans are engaged in the a war which has no war behind which man. It is not 1812, or on land, ingenuity of as was the Revolutionary Warg but it is a war fought on wheels, in the air, under the sea,e and by every means of ingenuity. Our efforts, therefon to continue improvements of our way of life are in- terrupted by forces that threaten to check and des- troy our importance--to put an end to dembcratic freedom. On December 7, we Americans took up arms to put down the force that threatens us. In past years in times of peace we have tended to over emphasize freedom at the expense of pat- riotism. In times of war, we have tended to over- emphasize patriotism at the expense of freedom. But now we must find a way to maintain freedom and national safety at one and the same time. In order to maintain freedom and national safe- ty at the same time we must put forth our every effort to do more and more with less and less, for we are at war with a foe who enslaves, who starves, who plunders, and rapes his victims. our freedom of speech, of assembly, of Uorship, amd of petition is worth fighting for. We Americans walk a narrow path that lies between disaster to the nation it- self and the suppression of all good things for which it stands. It is necessary that 'we walk carefully and thoughtfully. We must thinkg in to- day's world, we must continue to think about the meaning of democratic freedom as we Americans know it and cherish it. We must win this war. No one else can win it for us. --Gladys Bowshier
