"During the war many things may seem unjust to us and some may be," said "Our handicaps may seem worse than those of anyone else or any other people but if we stop to consider our situation we can-see that, by comparison, we are better off. This may be little consolation sometimes but we must realize how much worse our lot might be. "I don't hear so many people criticize and other restrictive wartime "measures as I heard earlier in the war. I believe almost all our people have a sincere desire-to aid'th'e war effort in any way they can.

Unity in politics and elsewhere is needed more than ever before," Sadler concluded. "We-are born selfish but we should try to- overcome selfishness toward' each other and, s.3 a people, toward other nations. Let us try to be tolerant in our daily lives in every way." Sadler was introduced by Jess Warren who pointed out that Sadler's-tent-show had been coming to Abilene under sponsorship of the American Legion for 25'years. "We never have had a contract with Harley Sadler and we don't want one--that's what we think of Harley Sadler." Carl Park, violinist of the "Sadler company, played two numbers with Ed Shumway, club pianist, as accompanist and Mundy and Jane, jugglers of the Sadler troupe, presented their act.
