Our Freedom
Is Priceless
By JOSEPH E. DAVIES
Former Ambassador to Russia
and Belgium.
(Written for the Treasury Department In
eonnectlon with the Retailers' “SAY YES”
ramp.iign tr> complete the nation's 100.0U0.0K0
partially tilled War Stamp albums.)
What I myself saw in my four
years in Europe gave me a new
realization of the priceless rights
which we here enjoy.
No secret police can in the night ,
whisk us away, never again to be
seen by those we love.
None of us can be deprived by any
party, state or tyrant of those pre
cious civil liberties which our laws
and our courts guarantee.
None of us can be persecuted for
practicing the faith which we found j
at our mother’s knee. (
None of us can be persecuted, tor- j
tured or killed because of the fact
that an accident of fate might have i
made us of the same race as the '
Nazarene. I
No American can be placed by
any party or government in a regi
mented vise which takes from him
or her either freedom of economic
opportunity or political religious lib
erty.
What would the millions of unfor- j
tunate men, women and children in I
Europe give to be able to live and J
enjoy such away of life? j
Well, in this war, those are the ;
things in our lives which are in I
jeopardy. Our boys are dying to pre- ‘
serve them for us.
Then we can do no less than to
“say yes” and fill those war stamp
albums. It is our duty and privilege
to help the secretary of the treasury,
Mr. Morgenthau, in his magnificent
effort to do the tremendous job of
getting the money to keep our boys
supplied with the weapons with
which to fight our fight.
Surely that is little enough for us
to do on the home front.

ROUGH RIDER
A hard-driving taxi-driver ignored
a red signal, threatened the traffic
policeman's knees, missed the street
island by a hair, and lightly grazed
a bus, all in one dash.
The policeman hailed him, then
strolled over to the taxi, pulling a
big handkerchief from his pocket
en route.
“Listen, cowboy!” he growled.
“On yer way back I’ll drop this and
see if you can pick it up with yer
teeth.”
In the Army Now
First Louie—Look here, you must
be more careful typing these letters.
Sarge—Sorry, Sir, but what did
I do?
Louie—You addressed this one
“Intelligent Officer” instead of “In
telligence Officer.” Don’t you know
there’s no such thing in the army?
THE HARD WAY
“Pa, what is Easy street?”
“It leads off Hard Work avenue,
my son.”
Trouble Enough
Tommy—And teacher asked me
all about my family and if I had any
brothers and sisters.
Mother—That’s nice of her. What
did she say when you told her you
were an only child.
Tommy—Oh, she sort of sighed
and said, “Thank goodness!”
Skin Deep
Ted—Why are your cheeks so
rosy, Jane?
Jane—’Cause.
Ted—Don’t be bashful. Cause
why?
Jane—’Cause-metics.
Give Him the Bird
Billy—l want five cents worth of
bird seed.
Clerk—How many birds have you
got?
Billy—None. I just want to grow
some.
Head of the Class
Tommy—William the Conqueror
landed in England in 1066 A. D.
Teacher—What does the A. D.
stand for?
Tommy—Well, er, after dark.
Small Size Martyr
Betty—Mary has gone through a
lot for her belief.
Dotty—What makes you say that?
Betty—She believes she can wear
a size five on a seven foot.
Wags at Both Ends
Doctor—Stick your tongue out a
little farther.
Betty—But Doctor, I can’t. It’s
fastened on the other end.
Middle Name Smart
Lady—Little boy, are you intelli
gent?
Boy—No, ma’am, my name’s
Brown.
Kitchen Aid
Mrs. Jones—Darling, will you help
me fix the peas?
Betty—Yes, Mother. You unbut
ton them and I’ll shell them.
JOY KILLER

“Did you sit up until the New
Year came in?”
“Yep. Our baby is teething.”
Story Teller
Mrs. Blue—Maybe we’d better not
say any more. Here comes Mrs.
Jones. She might tell somebody.
Mrs. Green—Oh, that doesn’t mat
ter. If you should hear it after she
told it, you wouldn’t recognize it,
A-l Typist
Blondie—This typewriter isn’t any
good.
Teacher—What’s wrong with it?
Blondie—l want to write an easy
word like “book” but there is only
one "o” in this machine. 1

ands of car and tiu?k owners are taking this chance by patting off getting their
tires inspected.
The Mileage Rationing Program provides that all car and truck owners must have their
tires inspected by above dates. Many will wait until the last minute—there’s bound
to be a big rush as the.deadline grows nearer. Wdl you be in this crushing line-up?
Your car is needed for essential transportation—to help win the war. Your govern

ment for necessary driving. But you must taka proper care of your tires to be eligv
bl nd inspection guards against tire abuse and neglect.
IMMEDIATE TIRE INSPECTION will show if you need repairs—whether you should
have recapping to add months of wear to your tires, or whether you need new tires.
It’s your duty to get inspection early—to get the recaps or new tires you need, while
recapping and service facilities are not crowded to the limit. Likewise it is your duty
to have corrected immediately any irregular mechanical condition affecting tire wear.
So don’t put off tire inspection another day. Come in and get our inspection
service NOW!
