In connection with the campaign
which is now under way to check
households in Ypsiianti with re-
spect to precautionary measures
against enemy air attack. Mayor
Bower has issued the following
statement:
I'm accordance with instructions
received from the Federal and
State offices OF the Civilian De-
tense, the Ypsilanti Defense Coun-
Gil has requested air raid wardens
to make house to house check up
of residences and apartment houses
in Ypsilanti in order to determine
whether our citizens are taking the
precautionary measures which they
were advised to take months ago
in order to protect their property
and lives against enemy air attack.
at is the fear OF defense officials
that our people have become com
placent about the matter inasmuch
as no air raids have been directed
against this country as yet.
1T is believed by our military
men that the very fact that the
enemy has been put on the defen-
siye may force him to take desper-
ate chances with the use OF long
range bombers in order to modest
the production facilities OF this
country, particularly the industries
In the Detroit area.
ut is my earnest wish that the
citizens OF Ypsilanti follow the sim
Pile instructions which are being
suggested by their neighborhood
air raid wardens, all Of whom are
volunteers giving hours OF their
time to serve you in the line OF
duty. 1t is only through an attitude
of preparedness that we. can all
have clear conscience In case
danger would come TO this commun-
ity BY being prepared we will min
lllilkt uanStlT hlbNOui oet pohiNt o." u
build up morale which in itself Is
an effective weapon against the
enemy.
You protect your home with fire
insurance with the hope that you
may never have a fire in your
home. Let us likewise provide q
measure OF insurance against ali
attack by giving our whole-hearte'
cooperation in the campaign nov
being conducted. All homes whici
do comply will be permitted to dis

To Buy War Bonds
Imperils Nation
'Unimoeinoble Disaster
Seen in Issuance of
Invisible Greenbucks'
2, the Associated Press.

P, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July Every time
you fail to purchase War bond,
says Harry Scherman, economics
writer, you force your Government
to issue invisible greenbacks." a
process which, uncontrolled, would
lead to "unimaginable disaster"
Writing in the current issue of the
Saturday Evening Post, Mr.. Scher-
man says:
BY failing to buy War savings
bonds, with money we can spare for
that purpose. we are continually
forcing the United States Treasury
to create new money with which to
pay its war bills
These multitudInous little sins
of omission can easily add up to
as much disaster as anything the
Germans and Japanese can do to
destroy American civilization.
Key Fact for Laymen.
Mr.. Scherman explains that what
the Treasury does not get in taxes
and in sales of bonds to the public.
it must raise through selling its
bonds to the commercial banks, and
continues:
The key fact for laymen to grasp
here is that when we individuals
