The February meeting of the Retired Veterans of the Pennsylvania

,C. Tadritt and Alton Shirk in Air
raids The former presented a pattern
of the Manganese bounib, ana ms recitation of what it would do was
simply"hellish" and there is no other

drew close attention. Follownng this

olutionary war to tiie current world
struggle, Dr. Goshorn told of the
successive war efforts, of the increasing demands of each attendant
struggle. These demands were, he
said, costly of men' and materials.
Dr. Goshorn stressed tha rigid requirements for service with the aimv
ed roMps of the nation today. He
detailed the m|ethods used in reject-
be of no service to the army or navy,
in fact, as cited they might even become a very burdensome liability. He
cited- percentages bearing on the relative health standards of veterans of
the various wars, these having a vital
bearing on war efficiency.
"Now is tbe time to keep our soi..
up, get regular rest, keep regular
habits, do a good day's work after
having had a good night of rest,1* hie
said. "Unnecessary worry about
loved ones in the service should be
avoided. Fact is, as is generally
known, the boys are being well cared
for and doubtless |would not want us
to worry about them."
"Let us, therefore, get down to
productive wlork," he saw, "Let us
begin it now, not later. Now is when
it is most needed. We have a job to
tio-ia very real job and it calls for
the best in aa and you can't give
that 'best if you worry about things
,that really have no bearing on our
problem. We want to win this war
(we must win it. So let us cheer up,
forget worry and get to work. Work
never harmed anyone, worry is the
thing we must avoid."
"Finally," he said, "let us unite
ourselves as one, let us unite to get
rthis job done. We have it to do
and the sooner we get at it the better for all of us. We can do it. We
must do it. Thus will we defeat Hitler and the whole Axis tribe of scavengers who have assailed us."
