Americanism Americanism activities are being emphasized by the American Legion auxiliary throughout the nation 'this months Americanism is something that should ble stressed by all of us every month and every day. The birthdays of Lincoln and Washington in February probably serve to increase our spirit of Americanism. The lives of these two "men exemplify. tfiie quality of true Americanism. These men devoted their lives to making this a nation of free men. The things most of us are Called upo^i to do are simple. Vote. Vote for the right person, the person who will do most to keep this country free, free from evil from within, as well as free from aggression from without. Americanism is not just a word -- it is a way of life. A way of life known nowhere else in the world. Where else, in this wide world, does mankind have the freedom of speech, of worship, of political choice that we have here? Where else does the average, working man send his children to college, furnish his family with automobiles, TV sets, radios and a decent place to live? Here it is a matter of just how many luxuries we can afford. Elsewhere it is mostly a question of how many of life's necessities are possible. Do think a little about Americanism and what it means to you. The auxiliary participated in the annual American Legion pilgrimage to the tomb of Abraham Lincoln in Springfield .on Feb. 12. Mrs. p. A. Lainson of Fort Madison, Iowa, national president, placed' a wreath on the tomb in the name of the auxiliary's nearly one million members. Ceremonies at the tomb were broadcast over a nation- wide radio network. A special broadcast, a story of "The Young Lincoln," was presented over NBC on Feb. 12. Other local broadcasts and programs will commemorate Washington's birthday on Feb. 22.
