The Front Cover
Valentine Bride—The month of
February brings with it a romantic
touch in Valentine’s Day. Febru-
ary this year, was also a banner
month for weddings and betrothal
announcements among Humble
people, so we just combined the
two into a feature on the Ladies
page and the front cover.
The valentine bride on the front
covei' is the former Miss Helen
Elizabeth Carroll, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James W. Carroll. She
married Captain George F. John-
son. The bride’s father is a still-
man at Baytown refinery, and is a
well-known personality among
Humble people. For more pic-
tures, see page 13 in this issue.

Their Principles Guide Us
No other countrymen have left so indelible an im-
pression on the pages of our nation’s history as the two great
Americans whose birthdays we celebrate this month.
Although Washington and Lincoln lived at different
times, each was charged with the tremendous task of directing
our nation through a grim war. If they were living today, no
doubt they would see in the present conflict a counterpart of
the wars they waged and won; they would witness a continuation
of the struggle for freedom and tolerance.
Because the bitter struggle in which we are now
engaged threatens the very existence of everything these two
exponents of freedom sought to defend, every true American on
this anniversary of their births will appreciate more fully
perhaps than ever before the loftiness of their purpose, the
nobleness of their deeds.
That is why we are fighting today; the principles for
which these two great leaders stood are symbols of everything
we hold dear as a nation. That is why industry is mobilized in
an all-out effort to support our fighting men; that is why every
soldier of production is doing such a splendid job of providing
war materials, as well as a proportionate share of the money
that helps make those materials available. That is why in the
year 1943 no task will be too difficult, no sacrifice too great to
accomplish even greater production records.
Moreover, that is why every real American is reso-
lutely determined once more “That this nation, under God, shall
have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people,
by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
