How You 

 Can Do Your Bit 



TPHERE is one very practical patriotic duty that must be 



shared by every one of us, regardless of age or position. It 

 is to keep home conditions normal. 



The man or woman who encourages or gives way to 

 hysteria at this time is simply not doing his or her bit. 



Hysteria does not help. 



It hinders. 



Hysteria does not build. 



It destroys. 



Hysteria is not efficient. And America must be efficient, if 

 America is to win. 



Let every one of us order his life and business in so far 

 as possible as if no war existed. 



Let us press resolutely forward; let us buy and sell as usual; 

 let us buy our homes, furnish our homes and heat our homes 

 as usual. 



Let us be unwasteful. but on the other hand, let us avoid 

 the "hysterical parsimony" that the Council of National De- 

 fense has warned us against. 



Let us bear in mind that "hard times" can come only at 

 our own invitation, and at our own instigation. 



Let us not invite them or instigate them. 



Let us think "good times" and act "good times." 



Let us help keep America prosperous and progressive and 

 strong. 



It is the most that some of us can do for our Country. % 



It is the very least that any of us can do.
