RESOLUTIONS—1945
The most important ftew Year’s
resolution any of us can make for
1945 is this: “I shall do everything
in my power to help wtnr the war in'
the shortest possible tiipe.”
That, of course, is a very general
promise. To mean anything it needs
to be broken down into a series of
shorter resolutions — a soi*t of war
winning program for civilians.
When the war first started a lot of
us fidgeted around looking for things
we might do to help. We were told

Since then, however, we have been 1

little things — unimportant things — j
but when multiplied by 130,000,000
they often assume tremendous pro-'
portions. _
Buying" a few gallons of gasoline
from a black market, for example/
may seem a trivial matter. But ifi

their patrons set the example for how
to disrupt industry and perhaps lose
the war. But, fortunately, their num

to the rules even when they see oth

to cause only minor disruptions.

GUILT—Blood
All of those suggestions seem like
pretty small things compared with
what our men and women in uniform
are doing. Yet there are plenty of
people who consider themselves good
Americans who will feel a real sense
of guilt if they check over that list
and realize how many of those vital 1
things they are ignoring.
There is no reason why any healthy
man or woman should not be willing
to go through the simple process of
giving blood to be used to save lives
on battlefronts, yet the Red Cross
seems to be having a difficult time to
get nearly the amount of blood which
is needed.
There is no reason why materials;
like tin and paper cannot be saved
in every home in our country, yet
millions don’t save them because it is
too much bother.
There is no reason why sales of
bonds to individuals cannot always
overreach the goals set, yet in one
loan after another we fall short. This
in spite of the fact that when Christ
mas came along we had the money to
buy the largest dollar volume of
Christmas presents sold in years.
Apparently there are a lot of peo
ple in this country who still think
the war is none of their business. It
may be a little late to convince those
people that their help is needed. But
maybe a few New Year’s resolutions
will help.

Christmas dinner except in snow-

was impossible to bring up special

A succession of “open houses” and

accorded hostesses—in many cases
—and even resulted in receptions
being “crashed” by bibulous young
men; these abuses led to the aban
