Duront's $3.50 USO Quote

Durant has been assigned a $3.50 quota in
the United Service Organization drive
to raise $500 in Holmes county.
If that goal is to be reached we are all
going to have to dig down in our pockets
and pull out more than a dollar. to reach
the goal. This is true of other communities
in the county as well.
When & person soliciting for the USO
comes into your home or place of business
the least you can do is TO give him or her Q
cordial reception and as large a donation as
you can. These men and women are giving
heir valuable time and effort so that the
men in our armed forces will have a place
where they can feel at home away from
home. The USO make possible many hun
dreds of places where the men in service can
go and relax and at the same time stay out
of trouble when they are off duty.
Almost every one Of US has some loved
one who is in Uncle Sans service. We should
enjoy the privilege of giving IS to $50 as our
means will allow.
