This war will be won by the spirit of the American people. This spirit is in the young men of our armed forces, It is the spirit of clean-living, clear-eyed, hard-hitting American youth. It is also in the spirit of unselfish sacrifice of personal time and energy by all who must remain on the Home Front. In tribute to the latter, we salute the men 2nd women of Civilian Defense. Who are these men and women? They are your friends and neighbors whose days are active and whose nights are given to the half-hundred activities of Civilian Defense. * In this work it is natural that many employees of this company take active part. As workers in public utility service they have special adaptabilities valuable to vital branches of Civilian Defense. Likewise, there are many men who through long years of experience have developed special skills essential in keeping the output of gas and electricity flowing at top speed so that war plant production may run ahead of schedule. Already more than 1,200 of the young men of this company are in the armed forces. Each month this total grows. In Civilian Defense are more than 4000 company employees—nearly forty per cent of the total number. In the mountain regions, close by the great power plants, hundreds of these men and women are Airplane Observers. Men and equipment of this company are enlisted in Demolition and Clearance Crews, Bomb Squads, Auxiliary Firemen, Feeding and Housing, Rescue Squads, Road Repair Crews, Air Raid Wardens and many other activities. We are proud to be part of this army at home. It is the people’s army — sober, serious, trained and ready for Public Service.
