PUBLIC MORALE
Governing Factors HOW EVERYONE CAN HELP The words “moral” and “morale” are almost similar in meaning; but the latter becomes widely used in wartime, as it particularly refers to the state of discipline and confidence of an army. Under conditions of total war, however, the morale of the whole population is a vital factor in sustaining a nation’s war effort. That is, where the other word comes in. for “moral” means the character and disposition ol a people. The people of this country are of sturdy character and can be depended upon to show a sensible disposition on all occasions. In the present crisis they arc called upon to exercise moderation during their hours of relaxation, and especially to keep on the side of law and order when seeking the friendly hospitality of a licensed house.
Nowadays, both civilians and military considerations demand moderation in the use ol alcoholic beverages. A small minority of people are sometimes inclined to.abuse their freedom, but good citizenship demands sobriety and reasonable behaviour at all times.
