By GENE WALLIS
Bataan has fallen . . .
In a few brief weeks, a pittance
of hours, the fighting men of Ba
taan—cxhaused by four months of
steady combat, hungry, and ravaged
by tropical disease — had reached
that point where, in the face of a
ruthless and reckless foe who out
numbered them nearly ten to one,
they could go on no longer. They did
not quit They did not run away.
Most of them gave . . . the last full
measure of devotion.
"The world . . . can never forget
what they did here. It is for us the
living, rather, to be dedicated . . .
to the unfinished work which they
who fought . . . have thus far so
nobly advanced . . . that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall

Let us never forget the men of
Wake Island who radioed—‘‘Send us

Congratulations
GRADUATES
Congratulations to the graduates and don't you DARE
feel sorry for them because they re graduating in such
chaotic times as these. Were looking up to these
young folks—putting a lot of faith and hope in them—
because we know they're walking right from the class
room into responsible jobs. They're not going to be
pushed into obscurity by those already employed. No!
They have a more important niche to fill. Uncle Sam has
work to be done! Congratulations to them—and wo
mean it!

"Buy a poppy, muster?
for a good cause . . .
It's for a good cause
’’ You bet it's
Twenty-five years ago somebody was shouting, "Down with
Democracy!" and a couple of million young Americans plunged
across the sea to wipe out the blasphemer. Thousands of them got
hurt in that struggle—thousands of men forced to spend the rest
of their lives in hospitals.
Today wre have taken up their "quarrel with the foe." We arc
proving to them that their work was not in vain. They started it
and we'll finish it. Democracy will NEVER die—not while there ts
one American left on earth Tell this to those thousands of
wounded soldiers Saturday by buying the poppies they have made.
