Why?

TODAY, Americans are dying so that
America; your free America, can live!
Today, the men in our Army and Navy
urgently need more planes, more tanks, more
guns! More than our enemies have, better than
our enemies have, if we're going to smash our
way to Victory in 1912.
We've got to get them. We will get them.
But only if every man, woman and child in
Xmsrica helps. And Helps voluntarily, regularly,
In HE American way-the Bond and Stamp way

1t was in the Parliament Building that at
the outset of the first World War, the Privy

proposed TO remain strictly neutral. The
cable incidentally, caused more than one
diplomat to raise his eyebrows and inquire:

oddly enough. the Tonga Islands are also
called the Friendly Islands" and 1t wasn't
until recently that an explanation was given.
For in the days when Captain Cook sailed
there the natives we're anything but friendly.
In fact they were cannibals
When Cook discovered the islands in 1878,
he wondered what kind of a reception he
would get So did the chiefs who awaited his
arrival on shore.
AS soon as the sails of Cooks vessel were
sighted the natives argued over the best way

boiled until tender Others preferred roasting.

demanded they be eaten raw.
While the chiefs argued over the various
recipes. Cook landed and handed out trinkets
and other presents. The natives were de-
lighted and forgot all about the feast they
had planned When Cook departed, he named
the islands the Friendly Islands"
The trinkets didn't last long and were soon
forgotten. A couple Of years later when

been ashamed of her heroic size and she
grew old and fat she developed an inferiorty
complex.
Recently she has been unwilling to appear
publicly or meet visitors and has yearned to
be relieved of her duties.
Another reason for her retirement is that
the Tonga Islands are hot the year around.

his throne than her native heredity. born of
long generations of simplicity, began to

been reared
Ten years ago Salote began TO shun the
