TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH. You can’t do your work
if you are sick. The war is causing a shortage of doctors, nurses,
and medicines, so by keeping well you help the nation get along
in spite of the shortage. Widespread colds and influenza may
seriously slow up defense work this winter. Help to prevent
their spreading by avoiding’ colds yourself.

DON’T TELEPHONE UNNECESSARILY... Don’t telephone
unnecessarily if you live in a defense area. In such areag the
telephone lines have more business today than they can con-
veniently handle, and it is important that wires be kept open for
emergency calls. You can help a great deal by using the phone
only when your call is a necessary one.

LEARN AIR-RAID RULES. About a third of our people live
in areas where air-raid safety measures must be taken. Learn
what you should do when the alarm sounds, and carry out every
drill quietly and correctly.

DON’T SPREAD RUMORS. Remember that many unreliable
reports come to us as news. Don’t believe reports that are not
confirmed either by our government or the British government.
Passing unconfirmed reports about excites people needlessly.

KEEP UP THE SPIRITS OF THOSE AROUND YOU.. The
best way to do this is to be cheerful yourself, so make your sac-
rifices without grumbling. When you are not busy with your
war activities work and play as if there were no such thing as
war. Enjoy vour games and sports in the old way, and have all
the fun you can.

_ DEFEND AMERICANISM. This great country is made up of
people of all races and almost all nationalities. In our army,
our factories, and our schools, peovle whose fathers came from
Germany, Italy, and Japan are working with other Americans for
our United States. Do your best to see that no one is made un-
happy because his parents came from a nation with which we are
now at war. By doing so you will defend the spirit of liberty
and democracy for which we are fighting.
