Buy Bonds Till It Hurts

Late next Monday afternoon Wimingtonians
are to be offered the greatest military pageant
in many years. Camp Davis and Camp Lee
ieune bands will be in line Soldiers and ma
rines, Waves and Wacs, war tools ranging
up to 100 anti-aircraft guns will march
or rumble along downtown streets.
The starting hour. 6:45 o'clock, has been
carefully chosen to allow the family to have
dinner and get downtown for the show. If it is
hot day. the sun by that time will have lost
its ardor. What the Victorians were wont to
call a mighty concourse" Of spectators GER
tain1y will be on hand to witness the spectacle.
The parade is to open t h e Fifth War Bond
drive. 1t must not be confused with the cam
paign itself nor forgotten that when the t,imult
and the shouting is over the buying Of bonds
must start The parade will have been held
in vain, the soldiers and marines, the Wacs
and the Waves, the guns and equipment, will
have been assembled, the throngs gathered, to
no good purpose if this is forgotten or neglect
ed.
The same reasons for buying war bonds
obtains now as in all previous campaigns. They
represent the fes It investment available.
They provide a nest egg against lean times
later on. They give every purchaser an actual
investment in victory To some extent they
have helpful influence over taxation from
which there can be no return to the taxpayer.
They pay good interest. They give the buyer
a finer sense of independence
These are some of the reasons why it is
wise to buy war bonds Just now, with the
final drive to overthrow the Nazis off to a
good start, there is the additional reason Of
supporting the fighting forces with our dol
lars-or our dimes, if they are the best we
can give-lest they come to feel the people
at home are letting them down in the time of
their greatest trial.
They are not letting US down. Instead, they
are giving whatever is demanded of them
their lives if need be-to keep US free, to keep
the world free from domination by cut-throats
and brigands. Can we do less than put our
money out-at interest toto give them their
chance to triumph over the enemy?
Previous war bond issues have been splen-
didly oversubscribed here. Let this one rank
with them.

The Census bureau has taken this poll for

Don't Travel

The Office of War Transportation has is
sued an earnest appeal to the American public
to travel particularly by train, only in actual
emergencies
The plea deserves observance by reason of
the fact that with the Battle of Europe under
way wounded men will be coming home in
greater numbers than in the past ana will
need ever facility the railways possess for
transport to hospital areas.
The moving of war casualties must come
before vacation travel. No citizen at home is
entitled to seat or berth in train so long
as it is needed for any incapacitated member
of the armed forces
And it will not do to substitute vacation
trips by auto for train travel For the military
demands upon the country's petroleum re-
serve will increase as the fighting advances.
Even picnics in the suburbs cannot be justi-
fled, whatever type of ration books the family
may possess. Travel by auto should be volun-
tarily restricted to essential trips.
By spending vacation time at home the
American public can make real contribu.
ton to the success Of the nations armed
services. 1t is little enough to ask considering
the sacrifices Of the men in these services.

Sooner or later everyone is

vador Dali in his foreword to Hid

my painting, concede that I draw
like Leonardo. Others, who quar-
rel with my aesthetics, agree in
considering my autobiography one
OF the human documents of the
period. Still others, questioning the
authenticity of my Secret Life
have discovered in me literary
gifts superior to the skill which
I reveal in my pictures, and to
what they call the mystificatioa of
my confessions. -
Dali then adds that, in 1922, Gar

t h a t he is probably the most
