FOREWORD By RAY PICKETT Responsibility, a fourteen-letter word of six syllables. I hear you say, What does this word have to do with us? For the answer consult a dictionary. Webster says, Responsibility is a state of being responsible, accountable, or answerable, as for a trust, debt, or obligation. This should make us think. Surely, all of us have heard of the fighting man's responsi- bility. It is to fight, to die, if necessary, for his country. Responsibility to him means sticking to the guns until the job's done and done well. We have only to listen to the radio or read a newspaper to realize how well our fighting man is shouldering his responsibility in foreign lands, on the seven seas, and in the air. But what of the home front responsi- bilities? Shall we fail the fighting man's trust, and shy from even the mention of responsibility? We who remain at home cannot shirk our obligations, present or future. At this time our task is to guard the rights of the country for which many are dying. America is a fine sounding name, bringing to one's mind the thoughts of Liberty, Life, and Happiness, but it will be nothing more than a name if we fail our trust. None of us believe we shall lose the war, but to lose the peace will be just as bad. We must do our part to make this peace an enduring one. For this reason, we shall have to dedicate ourselves to several tasks. First of all, we have to do our part to win the war in order that this country can survive. Saving that extra dollar, digging deeply for War Bonds, using carefully that precious food-yes, saving all material re- sources-these are our responsibilities. Working harder, studying harder, using our brains as never before-yes, utilizing our time wisely is our privilege and our duty and will bring that glorious day of victory that much closer. Secondly, in order to win the peace and insure the good will and bless- ings of the world, we must help to provide food, clothing, and security for all. We shall have to see that a peace table is organized where disputes of centuries may be justly ironed out. We will have to throw out all the dictatorial ideas fomented by the greedy and selfish, and instill in the hearts of men the love of God, and that heavenly trait, brotherly love, and we shall have to see that all the Hitlers, Quislings, and Parasites no longer have a place in world affairs. Lastly, we must labor to make things easier for ourselves, our country, and the tired world. We will have to live at peace, a peace which benefits all men, and makes secure for everyone the blessings which we have enjoyed for so long. To do these jobs we shall have to take responsibility, grasp it, and fear no more its consequences. To remake this old world, we shall have to strive as never before. Responsibility is the price of Victory. Five
