WHO AM 17
I am more powerful than the

I have destroyed more men than
all the wars of nations.
I am more deadly than bullets
and I have wrecked more homes
than the mightiest siege guns.
I steal, in the United States
alone, more than five billion dol
lars each year.
I spare no one, and I find my
victims among rich and poor alike,
the young and the old, the strong

YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG
Your flag and my flag and how It
flies today.
In your land and my land and half
the world away!
Rose-red and blood-red the stripes
forever gleam;
Soul-white and snow-white—the
good forefathers’ dream;
Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars
to gleam aright—
The gloried guidon of th eday;
shelter thru the night.
Your flag and my flag, to ever star
and stripe,
The drums beat' as hearts beat and
fifers shrilly pipe! ,
Your flag and my flag, a blessing
in the sky!
Your hope and my hope—it never
hides a lie'
Homeland and fair land and half
the world around
Old Glory hears our glad salute and
ripples to the sound.
Your flag and my flag! And Oh,
how much it holds—
Your landand my land—secure
within its fold!
Your heart and my heart beats
quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed—red
and blue and white.
The one flag—the great flag—the
flag for me and you—
Glorified all else beside—the red
and white and blue.

Good news comes from the Social
Security Board. It shows the old-
time spirit still is alive. Five hun
dred thousand men and women,
65 years old or older, have refused
to give up their jobs to retire on
government pensions. The pension
is there for them, all they have to
do Is claim It, but they prefer to
keep on producing in war plants
and in essential industries. Hats off
to them.—The Oklahoma City
Times.

—WON’T YOU GET IN THE SCRAP?

You know. Marty, or one of the millions like him fighting
for Uncle Sam. You know what he’s already given up—and
what he’s willing to givo up — to keep America free! And
you know that his chances of getting back depend upon
America’s ability to give him what it takes to win!
America’s newspapers are out to see that Marty and the
rest don’t get caught short. They’ve taken over the task of
urging everybody to get in the scrap. Our hat is off to them
and the salvage committees, because every ounce of metal,
rubber and rags is needed and needed now to make ships,
planes, tanks and guns. This is the time to “dig in” and
honestly and truly get in the scrap —
