lnot tn eaae You May Forget

As rve approach another celebration of the lndependence of this great nation on July 4, let us fervently remember some words recently quoted by Jack Dionne in his Vagabond Editorials: "lf I had myrvay, I rvould gather up all the Communists and other enemies of our way oflife, and I would ship them out of this country. on a ship of stone, with sails of lead, over a sea of fire, r.vith Hell for its destination."

And these words of the great U. S. Senator Daniel \Webster: "I shall knorv but one country. The ends I aim at shall be my country's, my God's, and truth's. I was born an American. I will die an American."

Let these words rvaves !

your hearts as long as Old Glory
