1944_01 The Daily Collegian January 1944

With- one of the most significant years in
American history past, the /ear 1944 starts with
a hopeful outlook for future national and international peace—provided every American
tees his job and does it. «
The job each American must do to secure
happiness for posterity is this: he must utilize
his capabilities and energy until it hurts. Even
jet behind the locked doors of lethargical disinterest for anyone but self lies untold possibilities which could put American production
on an undreamed of high basis.
Yea, Americans are selfish. One girl docs
not buy a bond because she likes a new dress
she saw downtown, a man cheats behind the
skirts of agricultural deferment because he does
not like army discipline, another deals with
black market gas and food products because it
is easy money, and still another docs not do any
war work because it is too much trouble.
It seems to be hard for Americans to forget
their selfish interests even when brothers,
fathers and, sweethearts are fighting for the
yety life of their country. Why? Because, the
annals of history relate that Americans have
to get rheir backs flat against (he wall before
they wake up.
Should Fresno be bombed, probably every
Fat3i<fi_would then wake up and realize that
a war is Ors-Efjrjbably each person would get out
and do everything in his power to get this
bloody battle over. Little docs each realize that
when he docs not buy a bond, when he buys
Uack market fdjnd, when he sits at home and
reads a book instead of rolling bandages, he
is helping prolong the war.
The internal Sabotage that people commit
unwittingly each time they work against the
grain of war effort instead of helping will be
counted up in minutes, days, months and years
of prolonged war. And prolonged war can
mean only one thing—more lives of American
youth.
Stan the new year right. Make up your mind

that the Washington team waa

that weight and power are no

football.
FRESHMEN CAN  DO
The East-West Shrine game
was divided In s 13 to 13 tie Isat
Saturday. Lots of good football
waa played in that game and the
young freshmen who never played collegiate football before the
1943 esaaon walked off with the
starring honora.
Hoerschemeyer. Sensanbaugher
and Wedcrmeyer really showed the
older and more experienced play-
era that they can play football In
aplte of their yearling age.
This year's East-West game may
not have proved other things, but
It certainly again proved that the
freshmen all over the country can
play college football, but good.
