MEYER The Motion Picture Industry officially recognizes (by contract) six "legal" holidays. One of these six Is Memorial Day, which Is observed on May 30th. This year we of 20th Century-Fox Studios observed Memorial Day on March 22nd, when more than 3500 of our co-workers paused In silent tribute to the memory of ROBERT HALPRIN, JERRY SOLOMON, and a host of others who made the supreme sacrifice. Out of approximately 30,000 men and women employed In the Motion Picture Industry, almost 20% are in the Armed Forces of our Government and many more are being called dally. These men are your co-workers and mine; your sons and brothers and friends of many years standing. They are being called upon to go out and FIGHT so that you and I can LIVE. All of this and more you heard. If you attended our Red Cross Mass Meeting, but the subject matter Is so vital to each and every one of us fhat It may well serve as the Editorial for the month. As JIMMY CAGNEY told us "By our actions, a certain number of those men who would die, will come through alive." Yes, we are in another drive. And again we're asked to give, but only money. Remember that! We're only asked to say it with cash, not with cur lives. No, this giving is not going to end until this war Is over and won. Are we any better than our fighting men? They've got to keep on giving 'til the job is done. Labor's Executive Committee has coined the phrase "Our Boys In the Armed Forces are giving 365 Days a year for you. How many days pay will you give them, through your Red Cross subscription?" This Is the time to show what we're really made of. It Is up to every one of us to back those who back us. If you have already contrlbufed, jusf ask yourself: Can I give m,ore? Have I done all I should? Remember, it takes dollars, lots and lots of dollars, to make the wheels of mercy go 'round. As LOU HELM so aptly put it: "Any man (or woman) who gives less than he can afford has fo live with his own conscience. I don't envy him!" CAROLE LOMBARD . . . BUCK JONES . . . OTTO WINKLER .. . ROY ROGNAN . . . MARTIN PAGGI . . . TOM EVANS . . . JOE ROSSER . . . RICHARD SAWYER . . . These and many more, DIED. What did you do? Next time you see a list of dead and wounded, ask yourself: "What have I done for Freedom? What can I do tomorrow, that will save the lives of men and women and help them win the war?" Here's what you can do: If you have not as yet contributed to the Red Cross, do It now! If you have given, see if it represents ALL you can afford. Remiember: What you give to the Red Cross, you can take off your Income Tax. What you don't give, you can't take off your conscience.
