What Navy Relief Means To You The Unite*'. S ta tes Navy has jus t completed i ts aunua l dr ive tor funds .

Why do you permi t yourself to be identified with the homely vir-tue of not s tea l ing money, when .in real i ty your beauty is far more subt le comel iness?

How noble you a r e ill the eyes a man who says what he truly

th inks ; how easy you a r e to recog-nize!

You a r e the surest badge of un-flinching cou'rag?. In an a tmos-phere of flattery and sneaky gossip. how riaup.rit.uciy • ground, cour t ing no dishonest fa-vor. bestowing no Judas kisses.

Once your halo hal lows an opin-ion. .we necessar i ly pause to hea r rhe opinion out—so much do we respect you. You help men to know the *fhitb about th ings and about themselves .

And you a r e so simple, so naive almost No s t ra in , no pain. Only when men fea r to embrace you, only then do they complicate thei r s t r u g g l e s , Wisely the Avon Bard In m o a n s ' neglect of you— "Oh what u l a n d e d web we wea%e When lir^t we prac t ice to dece ive!"
