Silas Clay is complaining that
his wife’s new hat cost more
than a bull calf. “And I wouldn’t
mind it, if it was a hat,” he says,
“but all it is, is a small bow and
a piece of feather.”
“It isn’t the size of the hat
that counts,” says Bivon Earp,
reproachfully.
“Well, what is it that counts?”
asks Si, exasperated.
“I’ll tell you what it is that
counts,” says Doc. “It’s the lift
that a new hat gives to any
woman. It sort of picks up their
spirits . . . boosts morale. Little

BLOOD DONORS
TO RED CROSS
MOBILE UNIT
One hundred and fifty-three per-
sons donated blood when the Red
Cross mobile unit visited Elgin in
March. The list included represent-
atives of McDade, Pe Lee, Kylberg,
New Sweden and practically every
other community in this immediate
vicinity in addition to those from the
town of Elgin and Camp Swift. The
contribution quota was quickly fill-
ed with many more volunteers dis-
appointed because the books had been
closed before their arrival. In com-
mon with every place visited by the
unit, Elgin donors did their utmost
to make the local visit a success and
some of the folk came into town de-
spite the disagreeable weather and
water up to the running boards of
their cars to keep their appointment.
A little rain or water—what matter-
ed that? They were' enroute to
“help save a life” with their blood,
which as plasma, would go to the
farthest corners of the globe to be
administered to service men fighting
for democracy.
Mrs. Bill Frost chairman, and her
assistants commend these patriotic
citizens for their service rendered
by donating blood and for the splen-
did manner in which each helped to
perfect the program by being on
hand at his or her appointed hour.
The list of blood donors from El-
gin and vicinity includes: Mrs. Alma
Farris, Lt. Sara A. Ellis, Mrs. John
J. McGee, Mrs. Carrie Williams, Mrs.
Kate C. Gillum, Mrs. Pat Pfeiffer,
Mrs. Roy Rice, Mrs. Jessie Frank-

I have given much thought to your
question, "what are we fighting for?"
My answer is the same as millions of
other American fathers would give to
their fighting sons. Some call it pre-
serving our heritage, or defending our
freedoms, or protecting the right to
think and act and live as we want.

Call it what you will, the answer is
YOU. For YOU are the America of the
