SAVINGS BONDS ON
SALE HERE MAY 1

The United States defense
savings bonds and postal savings
stamps were placed on sale in
the main post office at the OPP
ening of business Thursday, May
l, as part of the national effort
to make America impregnable.
Postmaster j. M. Astle an
nounced recently that plans are
completed for this community,
along with thousands of others
from coast to coast, to do its full
part at the opening of the saw
ingS program. It was expected
that the mayor and other civic
leaders will be among the first
purchasers of savings bonds and
stamps here.
Postmaster General Frank c..
Walker, in a letter to poStmaS-
tiers throughout the country,
said that the help of local post
masters would be "a real service
to the country" He transmitted
the thanks of Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau for the
help that local postmasters had
already given IN the sale of Uni
ted States securities, and also
Mr. Morgenthau's thanks in ad-
vance "for the cooperation he
knows you will give to this new
effort"
The new defense savings bond
is similar to the familiar Baby
bond" of which more than five
billion dollars worth have been
bought by more than two and
a half million Americans since
1885.
A defense bond may be pur-
chased May /. or thereafter, for
$18.75. In ten years, this bond
will be worth $500. This is an
increase of 80 1-3 per cent,
equal to an annual interest re-
turn of 20 per cent, compoun-
ded semi-annually. Any time
after sixty days from the date
of purchase, the bond may be
redeemed for cash, in accord
ance with a table of redemption
values printed on the face of
the bond.
To spread investments widely
among all the people in Amer
lea, a limit of $4,000 has been
set on the amount of these
bonds to be bought by any one
person in one year. The bonds
are in denominations of $25,
$50. 500, $500 and 81 1000, all of
which are sold for IS per cent
of their maturity value and all
of which mature in ten years.
For larger investors who can
afford to purchase up to $4,000
worth of bonds a year, the
Treasury department has issued
two additional kinds of defense
savings bonds, but these will be
sold only through banks and by
direct mail from Washington,
D. c. They are intended for as
sociations, trustees and corpora
lions, as well as individual pur-
chasers.
For the smaller investor who
wants to buy a government bond
on an easy payment plan, the
post office will have a new SER
les of postal savings stamps at
10c, Csc, SOC, 81, and IS. Each
purchaser of any savings stamp

The Low Down On
HICKORY GROVE

I see they are talking about
more daylight saving, so as to
have more time for defense.
And in another place I was
squirting at some figures where
it showed how many hours diff
ferent people work. Most of 'em
were around 7 hours but some
got down to 6 hours. And no
body works except S days a
week.
If you work 7 hours, it is
from 8 to around four-thirty,
and with the sun coming up
around 6 and setting around 6,
there is already 2 hours excess
daylight at each end.
What everybody is gonna do
with the super-eXtra daylight
saving being proposed, stumps
me. But one fellow told me he
thinks the golf folks are behind
the whole idea. Anybody knows,
he says, that the longer the day
the more golf balls you can
lose. But Henry says, go, did
it ever percolate through your
Uranium that the shorter the
shorter the day, the more dou-
ble-time you get?" You gotta get
up early to fool Henry.
Yours with the low down,

HOLDS Up DAM WORK

Fort Peck, Mont, May 7 =
CUP - Major R. Selee, district
engineer in charge, said today
power facilities at Fort Peck
dam probably would not be
completed until late 1943 or 1914
because of the national defense
program.
Major Selee said the defense
program had made it impossible
to obtain the necessary heavy
steel for the power plant be-
cause other projects and indus
tries had priority.

Army Morals
Cause FurOre

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 1l-AP-
An indignant general threatened to-
day to keep his. soldierz out, Of
Tacoma II the city really meant
what one commissioner said about
their behavior.
In a sizzling letter to Mayor
Henry P. Cain, Maj. Gen. George
A. White, commander of rapidly ex-
banding Fort Lewis, where nearly
10000 men now are quartered, de-
clared:
IF these problems cannot be
worked out in mutual cooperation
and II there exists in Tacoma be-
lief that these men in the uniform
OF their country present a menace
to your city, then the only sensible
alternative is to eliminate that
problem promptly by revoking all
permission of soldiers to visit the
city except in. the case OF the few
who maintain homes in your city"
The generals indignation was
aroused by crime menace" assert
tions OF Public Safety Commission
er Holmes p. Eastwood, while he
was seeking increased personnel
and equipment for the police de-
partment.
General White also protested
what he said was an appeal by
Eastwood to the F. B. |. for assis-
lance and a request for a 100000
federal appropriation to alleviate
the problem he alleged had arisen
as a result OF the growing Army
camp.
The general contended that East.
wood had cited erroneous figures
to the F. B. I. relative to soldiers
arrested for drunkenness.
Tacoma. a city OF 10000. is about
10 miles from Fort Lewis and Camp
Murray, where a host OF recruits
have been added from the western
states TO the regular Army.
Mayor Cain issued conctiiatory
statement that because OF the
helpful assistance Of military Of

scope Of our problems" the city
was finding no real difficulty.

Chance to End
Unemployment
Seen by Green
A. F. l.. Pledged to
Help to Utmost

tRv international News Service)
Miami, Fla, Feb. IL ms -
Americas national defense pro-
gram offers the first opportunity in
ten years to wipe out unemploy-
ment, William Green. president Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
said today in reaffrming the policy
of his organisation to cooperate 100
per cent with ths- Government IN
speeding up the preparedness pro-
gram.
Green estimated there are only
about 100000 unemployed at
present. For the past decade the
number of jobless has been fluc-
tuating from 100000 to 14,000,-
600, he added, with the depression
year of 1888 the worst OF all in
this respect.
Presiding at the sessions OF the
A. F. OF l.. executive council OF
II members in Miami, Green stress
ed that his organization, with
membership of more than 100000,
is determined to do its utmost to
prevent strikes that would inter.
rupt and delay the nations defense
program.
I'VE have enlisted for the dura.
ton OF the emergency" he said.
How labor, the employer and the
government can best cooperate in
furthering swift national rearma.
ment and full aid to Great Bril-
tain is the chief consideration OF
the executive council of the A. F.
of L., according to Green.
Clio strikes in defense industries
were lambasted by Green who cited
seven strikes either now in pro-
gress or threatened. Each of them
he significantly labeled as "CIO".
He asserted the record shows that
the A. F. of L.. on the other hand.
as definitely and closely adhered
to its no-strike policy"
The fundamental right to strike
is not to be given up, however.
Green made clear but is being re-
tanned as "labor's ultimate defense
against oppression" A. F. Of LIS
policy in the present emergency
will be one of cooperation, con-
Citation and arbitration.
