RELAX-ENJOY READ The GUIDE While You were Fightinm “OVER THERE’’. Some of the well-meaning folks back home decided to take away beer. That this shouldn’t have happtned was proved later by the repeal of unpopular prohibition. Ibut in today's war. the Army, the Navy, and all of the armed forces, as well as the Red Cross recognize the value of beer as a moral builder. They recognize the fighting men’s right to enjoy a refreshing glass of beer. Yes, in today’s war, things are different! The boys “over there,” and those stationed here in America are enjoying beer as a beverage and as a food. The government requires that breweries set aside a large portion of their production for the boys in the service. There are times when you can’t get your favorite beer. This may inconvenience you, but when you real ize that beer has gone to war, that’s a dif ferent story! You wouldn’t have it any other way! When you return to your home, and you hear your friends complain—tell them why they may have to pass up that second glass of beer. They wouldn’t have it any other way, either.
