A F. it To Preser ve Our Freedo n
Americans begin the New Year 1942 involved in an all-
put v. r in which the stake* are the highest since the foun-
" dation of the United States of America in 1776. In fact, the
nation.is fighting for the preservation of the democracy es-
tablished by those valiant.thirteen American colonies that
c termined that there should exist in %f| \forld the
•wen
right of people to live as free men, to worship as their own
cor. knees dictated and to govern themselves in accordance
with the will of the majority. That right is being threatened
by the most vicious group of dictators ever to band them-
selves together. The Urfted States has naturally cast-its lot
with those courageous'iienders of fn Horn who firmly be-
lieve in the precepts of moerty upon which this country was
founded.
So we find ourselves at the beginning of a new year en-
gaged in a life and death struggle between two great systems
o*' governmental policy. On the one side tire lined up the for-
ces of right, on the other the forces that declare that might
hall rule regardless of right With right on our side we go
forward to victory’. We may not be able to do the job in 1942;
i? may require several years before the strongly entrenched
forces of unjust might are dislodged. But win we will.
In spite of the war and it* accompanying costs in lives,
money and property, thef** Year hasrits compensations.

week conferring with the coun-
ty organization bn steps needed
to complete the drive for the
$4,100 allotment. According to
Mr. Baxter fnpst neighboring
counties have cone over the top
with their war relief quotas and
he is cheeking up on those
counties that l ave not yet fin-
ished their campaigns.
Bangs Raises S12O0
. “An inspiration can be taken
from thy little town of Bangs,7
said Mr, Baxter. "Bangs was
allotted $1,200 in the Brown
County quota and raised its full
amount in two days. In, other
vwds. Bangs -vent over with a
’wag* end furnished tire inspira-
tion fo Brown County to speed
up con pletion of its drive. As a
result Brown County raised its
quota in short order. The need
for this special war relief fund
for the Red Cross, now that we
are in the war. is very impera-
tive and every person must rea-
lize the -eriousness of the emer-
gency.”
Mr. Baxter laid particular em-
phasis on the difference be-
tween the Rod Cross roll call
and the war relief fund. Where-
as. the roll call contributions are
largely made uo of dollar mem-
berships, the war relief fund re-
quires considerably larger do-
nations from those in position
to contribute "This does not
