Carl Sterner, Dr. chur and E<irl Orner intend to make a raid on O:arlcy :Macintyre's market some Friday morning and Carl says he 1·.on·t lea1·c until he gets a real big one. \Ve all hope they are lucky. We need a few more OPTIMISTS For places in our fighting lists, The kind of hopeful men who make Real sacrifice for freedom's sake; The OPTIMIST. with purpose strong. Who stands to battle every wrong, Takes off his coat, and buckles in We need a few more OPTIMISTS, The better joys of earth to win. ' The kind that double up their fist The OPTIMIST who worries lest And se t their jaws, determined-like, The vile should overthrow the best. A blow at infamy to strike. \Ve need a few more OPTIMISTS, Not 5miling mer1, who drift along The brave of heart that long resist And compromise with every wrong; The force of Hate and Greed and Lust Not grinning OPTIMISTS who cry, But OPTIMISTS who'll fight to give And keeps in God and m!ln his trust, The truth an honest chance to live.
