Victory Boys and
Victory Girls.
(Elizabeth Gregg, Editor.)
What the president ox the W. C.
T. U. thinks of the Victory Boys’ and
the Victory Girls’ having a part in the
United War Work campaign:
“Victory Boys’ and Victory Girls’:
How the combination of words
thrill one. How splendid is the vision
of the youth of our land enlisting for
service; pledging themselves to do
and to give, to stand behind those
who have gone to the very limit of
human effort, endurance and sacrifice,
in ministering to the stricken peoples
“over there.’’
When thg bells ring, and the whist
les blow, and the banners are waving
and all the world is shouting VIC
TORY, let us not forget that the Red
Cross workers, the Y. M. C. A., the
Salvation Army lassie, and all these
other faithful ones who, through
these four frightful years, have stood
right with the man with the gun,
must fehare with him the glory of the
Victory, and you are standing right
uexiiiiu bxitjm. cvexiieiixuex, luu, x>uy»
and Girls, that Victory presupposes
Conflict as well as conquest and the
stronger the enemy vanquished the
greater the glory. For each of you
there will be some “Hun” to encount
er. You are asked not only to deny
yourself many pleasant things but
also to do things that may not be
easy or pleasant in order to help in
this great enterprise. In the present
shortage of labor there are many
things that even small boys and girls
may do to earn money. How great is
the need and how great will continue
the need through the coming winter,
you may learn from any of the bulle
tins issued from the various depart
ments of work.
In spite of the vast amounts contrib
uted, in spite of all the heroic lives
laid down, the cry of a great multi
tude that no mn can number still goes
up from these war stricken lands—
GIVE! GIVE! GIVE!, MORE!
MORE! MORE!
Money, time, labor, influence, give
of all, give as these workers of these
seven organizations have given—so
%
shall you have a share in the VIC- ;
TORY.
