This war must end sometime. Your
whole family, your neighbors, are
praying it ends soon and those fight
ing boys of yours will come home
safely.
But will you be ready for whatever
happens when peace comes? Will you
have something laid away? We're all
hoping there'll be jobs aplenty, jobs
which mean making something for
somebody's happiness and not for
somebody's sorrow. That's where your
War Bonds come into the picture.
Sure, Americans own billions of dol
lars of War Bonds now; and before
this 4th War Loan ends they will have
put away billions more. But how about
you? You're the one that counts. The
bigger the pile of War Bonds you
have when peace comes, the bigger
chance you'll have to slip right into
the postwar world you're dreaming
about tonight.
So 'Let'5 all Back the Attack"

THE AMERICAN WAY

Four square is the American way
We will see it through until Judg,
ment Day
To sell more Bonds than ever before
We will canvass each home door

When the salesman rings your bel
Tell the Axis to go to hell
By buying more bonds than in the
past
To speed the Victory sure and fast
We all can see what our bonds have
done
To the buck teeth apes of the Ris-
ing Sun
The home front solid behind the
lines
Is the boys guarantee of better
times.
So tighten your belt and get in the
fight
To keep your conscience clear at
night
Knowing full well you bought your

Compared to life it is mighty
small.
The Fourth War Loan Drive is in
full swing
Peace on Earth we hope it will

United we stand so on with the

With faith in God and our nations

fear are unnecessary governmental

Mass production and mass distri-

strength in wartime. The sooner

any attention TO the mud singing by this COM

words about the attack may be worth while

Communists or Communist collaborators are:
