-rTHERE'S A WAR ON!
Th.s is no time for the people back home
to allow themselves to be privileged char-;
acters. with no responsibilities, and to
allow their country, state or city to suc
cumb to the ills of disinterest.
Cur boys at the front deserve more con
sideration.
We must keep the home front in order.
W7e must take an active part in the affairs
of our government, the running of each
and every department, to'.fhe fullest ex
tent of our ability.
A: present, and in the very near future j
we. the people have a duty to perform
That of taking part in onb of,our inalien
able rights, that of voting for the candid-j
ales for the particular offices for which i
they have filed. . • •
A duty devolves upon the Voters to go to :
the polls and to cast their ballots for thei
men who. in their judgement, can fulfill;
the office to which they aspire.
The boys at the front are doing their job,1
so. let s do our job at home, and do it
right. _ I
THE LADIES PROPOSED
How comes the accepted tradition that
it is the woman who proposes in leap
It seems to have originated in Scotland
during the thirteenth century, when
there was a preponderance both of un
married women and timid men. A law
was passed which decreed that when a
matrimonially inclined lady approached
an eligible gent during Leap Yer, he had
o say yes or fork over a fine.
Apparently that solved the spinster
jroblem for the Scots, for soon similar
'aws were enacted in France and in Italy.
Thus the tradition ws born,
waited neither for the government decree
nor for traditional Leap Year to propose
wedding themselves to industry to in
dustry when our country was imperiled
History will record their considerable
achievement in war production as well
as in the uniforms of the armed forces.
Some of them may remain at work in
post-war, due to the sacrifices paid in
battle by their breadwinners. Industry
which has helped them make the most
of their talents in its necessity, will help
them again in theirs.
But the great majority of war-work
ing women will prefer, surveys shown
to their usual utilities and their feminine
frills with the grateful thanks of us all
and the inner consciousness of a job—
voluntarily entered into—nobly done
