lam Ingram Of Selfridge Field.
Major Ingram called attention
to newspaper headlines in the
past week with reference to the
second front in Africa. That
we must all be on the alert and
not permit ourselves to be lulled
into a false sense of security by
propaganda coming out of the
mouth Of Hitler, who by recent
statements was apparently try
ing to ease our war effort. That
we must keep on fighing until
the last gun has been surrender
ed and to do this we must not
stop buying War Bonds. Above
all Americans must keep up
their optimism and guard
against talking too much about
what is going on in army
camps he said. All military op-
erations affecting relations and
friends writing home must be
kept a secret in every household
the officer pointed out.
