We predict that a goodly numâ€" ber of Highland Park women will enroll. I Yes, charity begins at homeâ€"but, as the signboards say, "You give to someone you know when you give to the USO." The home touch that makes the difference between a homesick lad and a cheerâ€" ful, optimistic fighting man is the reason for the existance of the United Service Organizations. The man in service first gets acâ€" quainted with USO clubhouses and affairs at training camp. Much to his pleasure, he finds the USO following him to the far places, still adding that touch of home. Soâ€"in spite of your contributions to Red Cross and other war activities, and your 10 per cent for War BRond purchasesâ€"see. that the USO is on your schedule. It can very well be your own boy who gets the direct benefit of your USO dollars. 260 young people have just completed their high school educaâ€" tion here, and last week received diplomas in proof of their achieveâ€" ments. Leaving High School, their paths diverge, yet all are conâ€" fronted with a world in the throes of a war to preserve the American way of living. The way these young people will play their part in these trying times will largely determine their future status as citiâ€" zens, and the opportunities they will have, or see wrested from them. War falls hardest on the young. They fight the battles, earn the laurels, pay the price. With our young men and women so fully imâ€" bued with the American spirit, there is every reason for optimism over their future and that of the nation, both during the war and afterward. $ © _ NURSES AIDES NEEDED The Red Cross needs strong, intelligent, patriotic women to train for the arduous duties of nurse‘s aide. Schooling will be given The folks who live in Highland Park, along with the rest of the citizens of Illinois, have been requested by Governor Dwight H. Green to participate in "Dedication to Victory" week, from June 7 to June 14. Every day is separately dedicated. The chief purpose of "Dedication to Victory" Week is to clarify the many war enterprises in which the people of our state are engaged, that their number and magnitude may be observed objectively. Once we understand what wonderful strides toward the Victory goal have been made right here in Illinois, and see the big proportion of our citizens who are making Victory life‘s main purpose, we will all get the "second wind" which will enable us to make still further progress. Only six months have passed since Pearl Harbor, yet the might of the righteous anger of the United States is being felt across the face of the world. The culmination of "Dedication to Victory" Week will be "National Flag Day," when we will honor the symbol of our unity, our high place among the nations, and the liberty and opportunity for which our flag stands. In honoring the Stars and Stripes, we honor the men and women who serve in the armed forces and on the production front at home. We honor the Founding Fathers who by their foresight and heroism created this nation. This week is an opportune time for the world to see that Americans are proud of theitj heritage, and are unitedly fighting qs one for its preservation. © _ INTO THE WORLD © â€""AT HOME" © _ VICTORY WEEK It‘s read by THE Poeople! © Victory Week © "At Home*" @ into the World © Nurses Aides Needed STRICTLY LOCAL 15 by IVAN N.
