LET'S QUIT BELLYACHIN'.
t You hear a lot of people crumbling because they can>t 0et this, or
;they can't 0et that, but we arc still the best fee* people under the
face of the sun. We've £ot no ri^ht to squawk. You hear some people
jtolk about the scarcity of food, that the Army is not eating any more
: than they ate at home. This is not true. At home wc consume r. out
150 pounds of meat per-year, The soldier is consuming about 500
pounds per year and. on top of this we have to feed our allies. Re
gardless of what anyone says, if the Russians, the British and the
French will do cur fichtinc for us and wo have to live on bread end
dried beans, let's do it, and quit squawking. If we have to use fresh
vegetables instead of canned vegetables or fresh fruits instead of
canned fruits, and let the. canned fruits and' vegetables to cur
allies, let's be eood enough sports to do it* We've Oot no ri^ht to
do the amount of squawkin^ that we have been doin0. Let's quit belly
aching so much about the shortage of candy bars and bum.. Lord only
knows, if this is all we have to worry about, we certainly haven't
got ANYTHING to worry about. Once in a while you hear somebody say
something about sacrifice. It ouLht to be a penitentiary offense for
anyone to use the word sacrifice for the duration of the war, with re
gard to any of the local activities or themselves. There is only one
i class .of people that ou^ht to be allowed to use the word sacrifice for
j the duration-—that's cur boys in the Armed forces. God only k.iows,
*fhey are the people who can use it* and use it in the ri^ht way. They
re the ones who make the sacrifices. It's up to us to do everything
that we can to Oot everythin^ that we can to these boys and our allies
until this battle is won. Acain I say, lot's stop bellyachin' and
keep the public informed as to why these shortages are here. 11 y
have been tad up to tbo present an'3 they are ^oin^, to cet worse.
What are we dcin^ about It? The only thint we can do is keep sr winj
wood,---do cur job to the best of our ability and try to cooperate
with everyone the best we can, including the government, to win this
war as soon as we can. Because food is the bluest weapar we have at
the present time, s-acin I say, if the Russians will do iry fl^htin^ for
me over in Stalingrad and keep me out of that darn thinc, if I have to
to to black bread and water, it Is perfectly all riwht with me.
