Citizens Should Pause To Think On Memorial Day Tomorrow is Memorial Day in all but eight of the United States of America. It is a day solemnly set apart to honor the memory of the soldier dead by placing flowers on their graves and by appropriate exer- cises. What does it mean to the average individual? Probably little more than a day off if he is fortunate enough. If there ever was a Memorial Day when every citizen should pause to take stock of what he owes to those who fought and died that this coun- try might be established and per- petuated, it is this year. Every citizen should ask himself what he is doing to preserve the heritage of free government bought with the blood of his predecessors. He should take a time to weigh the leadership at Washington and con- sider whether thl~ country can he maintained strong in a world of conflict with the type of leadership in evidence at Washington. When he has done this if he is completely satisfied with the lead- ership and policies at Washington, well and good. If he is not and he considers that a continuation of the present wasteful spending policies will threaten the future of this country, he should make his ideas known in Washington by writing to the so-called elected servants of the people. The lack of interest of the aver- age citizen in the government of France is said to have been a factor in the weakness and downfall of that once great nation. The aver- age citizen in the United States must give more thought and pay more attention to what is being done under the guise of government in this nation if it is not to de- teriorate. Poppy Day in America This editorial, by Jean Houst- man, M.V.H.S. senior won first place in the Poppy Day editorial contest conducted ,by the Iowa department of the American Legion Auxiliary. POPPY DAY IN AMFRICA "In Plunders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place." MeCrae did not realize that in composing his beautiful tribute to World War soldiers he ,was in- directly starDng a movement that would become one of the greatest agencies in alleviating suffering. In the midst of a war-torn world it is good to see the American peo- ple unite to support this great cause, as it is good to find an un- selfish organization whose sole aim is the betterment of mankind. The story of invalid soldiers working long hours to pattern these bright blossoms for the small sum allotted them is an old one to any junior memher of the American Legion Auxiliary, for he tells it from house to house every Poppy Day. "Will you buy a poppy, sir, to help a wounded soldier?" Very few refuse when the tale of patriotism is told them by an eager child. Americans feel proud of their countrymen on Poppy Day, for they see the great sympathy, kindness and understanding that we as a nation can show. "Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands, we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high." It seems we too have failed. We took the torch and held it high. We won the war; yet today we are again seeing men die for the same cause. "Make the world safe for democracy" was the battle cry for the first World War. We won. But was our mission accomplished? It seems not. Many ideas have been suggested, many have been tried: still we have failed. Something was amiss. Why cannot we, who have been conquererB in all other fields become the masters of our- selves? Why cannot all peoples live happily together? Surely men can see the futility of bombing homes, beautiful 'buildings, monu- ments, whole cities. Surely they see the beastility of killing, robbing, plundering, conquering free people, i Today we arc living in a worldi of turmoil; yet in one which offers innumerable opportunities. One of these is the solution of our greatest of all problems--that of human re- lations. Until this is solved, or par- tially solved, however, we the com- mon people, can only help by do- ing good where we see it needed, can only continue doing our small bit by seeing our faults and improv- ing them. In years to come the rank of veteran soldiers may grow tremendously, and we may have a million more permanently wounded whom it is our duty to support, we may have a million more poppies on the market in 1951 than we shall have this year. Yet in spite of that let us calmly "strive on to finish the world we are in--to care for him who shall have borne the bat- tle and for his widow and his or- phan." I,'AMOUS QUOTES "We are arming ourselves, not~ for purpose of any conflict or inter- vention in foreign disputes. I re- peat again that I stand on the plat- form of our party; we will not par- ticipate in foreign wars and will not send our army, naval or air forces to fight in foreign lands out- side the Americms except in a case of attaek."--President Roosevelt, October 2~, 1940, at Philasdelphia.
