One could hear the roar Of flames

planes made vast, unforgettable
super-noise.
Navy communiques on the Mid

what the Official color films. made

WHAT IS IN THE FUTURE
 DE AMERICA

Will war leave Us desperate as it did in World War I. or will we be able to protect ourselves from an- other depression period? Will work be as scarce as it is plentiful noW2 Will people be in another enormous bread line? Or will there be a chance to make these worries just the opposite of the last war? Can anyone answer these questions or will we have to hold tight and wait for the answers? I say it can and will be preyented!!! Thousands up- on thousands of people are already helping to prevent it. But they only aren't enough, millions more must help, do their share, and save! This saving problem is made easy by bonds and stamps. This way helps not only to keep you from starving in the future, but will enable us to win the war quicker. Remember when you put your money in bonds and stamps you're loaning your money to the United States and making your own future secure.
 A BOND A DAY WILL
 KEEP THE LAPS AWAY!
