chronically Idle, Men whose enthus?
iastic slogan is "I'm too proud to

The Idler Is, Individually, a social
excrescence and collectively an eco?
nomic waste. He Is the leering nega?

and Ideals. At tin:-, time, when the
hand ami mind of every human unit
is desperat i;. needed, the deliberate
refusal to pitch in and do something
is a defiance i<> tho race and an in
? ult to the Almighty.,
in times of peace, we are compell?
ed to put up with the chronic loafer,
because our guaranteed pursuit of
life, llbertj and happiness, means to
onio men the privilege to graft- -to
others tin- right to loaf, bul in time
of war. when every man is needed,
when;.all our rights and privileges Bl'C

Now the "chronic objector" leap
into the arena, and says it can't be
