The lid on its brown had patches of yellow freckles. the hinges were small and black, and there was a keyhole that had no key. all this made the chest, simple in shape as it was, strange, and ancient, and almost frightening. and when he, or the grown-up with him, lifted the lid of the chest, an amazing smell rushed out--deeply sweet and musty, of mothballs and cedar, but that wasn't all of it. the smell seemed also to belong to the contents--lace tablecloths and wool blankets on top, but much more underneath. the full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know. his parents' college diplomas seemed to be under the blankets, and other documents going back still farther, having to do with his grandparents, their marriage, or the marriage of someone beyond even them. there was a folded old piece of paper with drawn-on hearts and designs and words in german. his mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
