and ruthlessly. He takes from his
people, from those he has en-
shaved; he even robs and steals,
as well as kills, in his terrible drive
to defeat us.
But we are free. We are stlll q
people permitted to act voluntarily.
That thought alone should inspire
US to sacrifice.
I recall q terrible fright had
few months ago. Suddenly, over
the studio lots where / was working
in q picture, there was great roar.
The sky was clouded with bright OBJ
jects, falling from bomhers. The
thought came that these might be
those pieces Of paper, soaked in
PHOSPHORUS, which catch fire on
touching the ground, q device used
by the enemy to start fires.
Cali To Duty
I was relieved when / saw one Of
these little papers. It was q call for
us to buy war Bonds, dropped by
our own bonibers.
How wonderful, I thought, that
these were not bombs, dropped by
the enemy-that they were only
call to q duty which all Of us must
meet. My children were safe; Moth
ing had happened to them. Crate
fully, went to the cashiers office,
and bought all the Bonds I could
possibly pay for.
I sincerely hope that this little
incident will prove q timely in
spiration to you, my fellow citizens
Let's supply that final bullet
and all the others that must come
before It'll Letls buy more Bonds In
the Third War Loan.
