meeting Tuesday evening. DR..

five-year attendance at that
time. The Doctor underwent a
serious operation in an Ann Ar
Dor hospital three weeks ago

upon his rapid recovery.
DR.. d. B. Wiley. in charge of
the program, had as guest of
the club, Miss Margaret West
lake. county secretary OF the
Red Cross, who gave an inform
alive talk on the work done by
the rganization. One thing
stressed was the mistaken idea
that the Red Cross can arrange
for emergency leave for boys in
service. This, Miss Westlake
said cannot be done by them,

nifty of the work carried on may
be seen when we realize that in
Macomb county alone there are
over three thousand volunteer
workers.

but they left before Mac"
could find an AK.
A few days later, Brother
Mccoy sat down to enjoy a
wedge of pumpkin pie. He d
taken one bit, and was called to
another part of the store on
business. He returned to
find Cooley finishing the pie!
MAC" said nothing.
Yesterday ID. N" sent a
registered letter to the Cady-
Mccoy store which read in part:
II received your statement,
MIR. Mccoy, but am protest
ing the full amount of the bill.
In the first place, the sundaes
were not up to your usual high
standards, and in the second
place, Lyle Hacket ate one
and one half of them. Further
more, you can't bill me Is

George Mccoy still has the
check for 81 cents. Efforts
to raise it TO Sl.37 have been
unsuccessful, it is reliably re-
ported so the next time
Mac" can't get taxi on a
rainy night he's going to call
Cooley's ambulance TO take him
home and turn in the check
Recently we mentioned
Harold Bugs" Lindsey as a
ROtarian with an unbrOken
attendance record of % years.
Checking back with our in
fOrmant, secretary Clarence
Barck, we were startled to
learn that two other ROtar-
ians, Howard Fenton ,0uel e.

Wade Fast Education g. scout

ance records. All we can
say is the club is awful
healthy, when fellows can at
tend weekly meetings (here
or elsewhere) for % years
without missing one. BY the
way, congratulations to Ro-
tary president-elect Lindsey.
CAPT. M. P. MOORE, adju-
tant of his base headquarters
group in the Hawaiian Islands,
has been appointed 81, or per-
sonnet officer, according TO the
latest word received from the
former local newspaper editor.
Mac has been editorial direc-
tor of the base newspaper, and
his personnel chores will be
heavy but those who know
him realize that he's happiest
when very busy. Gasow's
weather flag is up, and boating
enthusiasts, especially the small
cupboard enthusiasts, now have
no excuse for heading out into
the lake before a storm. How
ever, our long experience in To-
cal newspaper work tells us thai
some people will still risk
storms despite all official warn
ings.

Bonds we ought to be buying? We
haven't bought enough, yet, you know
:. not nearly enough. And there are
men across the sea fighting our fight
who are asking what we are doing at
home. Have we an answer for them?
You will need your War Bonds as
urgently after the war as Uncle Sam
needs your money today. You will need
new machinery and equipment, new
fences, new buildings. So BUY NOW!
Don't spend dollar unless you first
ask yourself: ''Does my country need

5 REASONS FOR INCREASING YOUR
WAR BOND PURCHASES

I. The tempo of this war is hitting its highest
point Government expenditures for war are
at the peak. MORE MONEY is NEEDED. NOV!
2. In proportion to WHO HAS THE MOST
MONEY individuals are not buying their share
of War Bonds. America must correct this
situation.
8. War Bonds provide the farmer and rancher
with the financial reserve he mast have to sur
vive the ordinary ups and downs of farming
as business.
q. Money will be needed urgently at future
date to replace and repair farm equipment,
machinery, and buildings. War Bonds will
provide it.
5. War Bonds are the safest investment in
the world, return a good rate of interest, are
easy and convenient to buy b. . from bank,
post Office, rural mail carrier or Production
Credit Association.
