Patriotism

Patriotism By George Stewart LOVE FOR ONE'S COUNTRY is given as the meaning of PATRIOT- ISM. Love for one's country means far more than to salute the flag; to salute high government officials; to sing patri- otic songs; to praise dead soldiers and condemn living guardsmen; to attend patriotic banquets, parades and lectures; to be willing to die for our country. Effective Patriotism Means: That we will be just as willing to live and work for the welfare, protection and development of our country as we would be to die on the battlefield. Never before in history has our country had more need for brave, true patriots as at the present time. To be really patriotic WE — YOU and I — must give our whole-hearted support to our National Constitution and those who represent us. Love for our country means that we not only honor it with our words, but that we obey and sustain by our daily actions the laws, statutes and regulations of our city, state and nation. Men and women have a right to question the value of our local and national regulations; there is a proper time and place for such matters to be presented. It is not proper to disobey the law while it is on the statute-books; the man or woman who willfully seeks to set aside certain laws because they are unpopular not only becomes a menace to society, but a traitor and a criminal. Laws are made for our benefit, protection and guide. Let all patriotic men, women, and children prove their PATRIOTISM by obeying, honoring and sus- taining the laws of our country.

"We know what is right, but we have not acquired the technique." "If you have to say a hateful thing, telephone it." "God help the rich; the poor know how to work."
