Show People Asked To Not Celebrate Y-Day Victory WAIT FOR I I IX VICTORY By ConimMnliT Roy Williiitiin The Lester Kent Post No. 90, American Legion, urges that Ihe celebration of V-Day marking Ihe collapse of Germany, be postponed until "Ilii'ohito is also in Ihe Dog House". Rather let it be a flay of redfdication to the task ahead, than one of false and hasty celebration. cele-bration. Let it be a day of deilical ions. (Continued on page four) V-Day Celebration (Continued from first page) Let us rededicate ourselves to give all-out support to the armed forces; promise ourselves to remain re-main on the job until final victory, I for the maintenance of America as an institution of liberty, equality equal-ity and decency. Parades, speaches, religious services ser-vices and business house closings are matters to be decided upon by local committees. However, we feel that undue boisterousness and frivolity would be distinctly an affront to the families of our fighting men still engaged in the battles of the Pacific. Complete Victory will be achieved when Tokyo falls, not Berlin. These views are in complete accord with the recently issued statements of the Department Commander of Utah and the National Nat-ional Adjutant of the American Legion. |
