(One of the Essentials of a Democracy) Deep In the breast of every Ameri can boy flames the light of hope and ambition. Equal opportunity to "make his mark" is one of the many American principles our country will ever fight to protect. American fathers have shown their sons that in our country individ ual initiative has brought success time and again. Throughout our country's history, the thousands of great Americans, who, by their own efforts, raised themselves high in America's state, professional and business life repeatedly illustrate this truth. In America as nowhere else every boy, rich or poor, has that cherished privilege of making his life worth while in the field of endeavor he chooses!. vf Equal opportunity for all . . . the American ideal of free enterprise . . . the American way of life! Those things have made America great. Those principles will see America through to Victory! NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY MIION PATRICIA DOW These are not views of any one individual or Post but represent the views of the entire organization as expressed by our National Adjutant Donald G. Glascoff. Fully realizing the possibility of being branded as "a wet blanket," the Legion feels that the defeat and surrender of Germany does not spell victory. Japan must still be defeat ed. The Japanese tight with a religi ous, fanatic zeal which knows no surrender and as long as war con tinues in that theatre American men will die, regardless of how and when the end comes in the European theatre. We believe that undue boisterous ness on this day will constitute an affront to the families of America's young men who likewise on that day will be fighting and dying in the far Pacific. While endorsing the idea of cele brating the defeat of Germany we believe that an such celebration should be in the nature of a thanks giving and memorial to these men who made the victory possible and a rededication on the part of the peo pie of the United States to the tasks which still are before them; the un conditional surrender of the Japan ese. Make it a day of dedication a "D-Day" of particular significance dedicated to give all out support to the armed forces, to remain on the job until final victory, dedicated to the principles for which our men and women have given their lives and to maintenance of America as an institution of Liberty, Equality and Decency, dedicated to God and Country.
