RECORDS NEEDED FOR
U. s. FIGHTING MEN

1t is impossible TO talk person
ally to all you fathers, mothers.
sisters, brothers and friends of
your boys who are in the service
So l ara sending out this last ap-
peal to ask you all to make a last
effort to gather in all those old
unwanted records in Sussex coun-
ty, there should not be one old
record left, without it being sent to
war.
Your boys are doing a splendid
job cleaning up the tyranny that
exists throughout the world, threat
ening your Freedom and Liberty.
They are doing their part to help
keep your great country free
from that tyranny. ARE YOU DO
ING YOUR PART?
Your boys who are on the far
flung battle fronts. waiting and
waiting, days and days, through the
dark hot jungle nights and the
frigid nights of the northern bat
tie fronts in Iceland, Aleutian Isles
and the Solomons, for the enemy
to attack, or for the completion of
battle arrangements, then they go
forth and run the risk of being
killed or crippled for life, in order
that you may retain your Freedom
and Liberty. All they ask for is that
you furnish a few records with
music and song from back home,
while they are waiting.
Are you doing your little part
in helping to give our boys that
music they are pleading for, ARE
YOU? An honest confession is good
for the soul. If you are not doing
your part in helping to furnish
your boys with that music and
song from back home, WHY NOT?I
Waiting and waiting to be at
tackled. or for the attack is a try
ing situation. l know. as l have
been through that mill. but this
war is much more terrifying, be-
cause they have to keep in the
dark. on account of the planes,
that may swoop down on them and
blow them to Hades, if they show a
little light. Just think how you
would like to sit night after night
waiting and waiting in the dark
jungles of the Solomons or the
frigid nights of the Aleutian Isles,
without any form of entertainment
while waiting to be killed.
The only kind of entertainment
they can have is recorded music
and song, but they have not got
it. many would give an entire
Army pay for just one rec
ord with music from back home.
We here on the home front, you
mothers, sisters, bro
.hers, and friends of service men I
who love a free country. can help |
10 give them that music, by just
taking a little time, to first go /
through your attics, cellars and
closets and gather up all those old
records. and thenN see
your nefbhbors and friends and ask
hem to do likewise. then see that
hey are turned over to the Amer
can Legion or the Ladies Auxiliary
If the American Legion.
Remember these old records are
collected by the Americani Legion
ind the Ladies Auxiliary, the pro-
leeds of which are used to buy
lew records, so that your boy, your
leighbor's boys and the millions OF
,ther fighting boys can have a lit
lie music and song from back home
while waiting to be killed or per-
laps crippled for life in body and
mind.
This is the last week of this
.ampaign for More Records for
dore Fighting Men," We need thou
ands more. are you and you, go
ng to do your little part and help
o that your boys will not suffer
break in their morale just be-
ause they had no music from back
Iome.
Let's all do our part and help
reak the record with More and
lore Records for More Fighting ,
fen."
