kEY FATHER was born in Russia but he
1V1 came to America years ago. With my
brothers Al and Mike, was brought up as a
good American.
"When | was in my teens met handsome
young Navy man at Shriner's convention in
San Francisco. His name was Bryan Conner.
1t was love at first sght-and you know the
reputation of the Navy for action. Bryan pro-
posed that night. He didn't know when we
sould marry because he had to get right back
TO his destroyer. But we weren't going to wait
IL rented motor boat, went out to the de-
stroyer and talked to the captain. In five min
utes Bryan was on his way back to shore and
we were married.
Gas time passed we had a fine baby boy.
We named him William. BY the time Bill was
growing into young manhood my husband
was assigned to recruiting service in Atlanta.
He and Bill had great times hunting and fish
ing together. We we're happy family My
two brothers visited us often and we'd have
the jolliest parties and picnics.
''Then the war started in Europe. Our son
came to us one night and explained how he
felt about it. He wanted TO be prepared so he
enlisted.
Like any mother | hated him to leave
home-but | couldn't stand in his way. Bill
joined up.
"Peah Harbor was more than my husband
could take. He had lots Of friends on the
Arizona, the Utah, and other ships. He was
4s years old but he asked for active duty and
he got ton PIT boat in the South Pacific.
my brothers got in too-Al in the Army.
Mike in the Seabees. There they were-all four
of them in it, my husband and brother Mike
inthe Pacific; my son and brother Al in Africa.

TT wasn't many weeks later that opened
final message:
Deeply regret to inform you your husband,
William Jennings Bryas Conner was killed
in action in-performance of his duty and IN
the service of his country.
81 am not asking for pity. Not even SYM
pathy. My men died the way they would have
liked to die-hghting. We must carry on their
fight.
~Iwon't be meeting my boy or my husband
or my brothers again, but want to sec to it
that other women get their men back.
The last thing my husband wrote me was:
Keep up the good work at the bomber plant
That's what am doing q. e. welding and rivet-
ing. And I'm going to keep on doing it as long
as can stand on my two feet. am going to
stay at my job, am going to buy War Bonds.
I'm not licked and never will be- I'm going
to live to see that day that great day-when
our enemies are made to pay in full for the
lives they have taken away from all Of u.s."
That is Helen Corners story. Her tragedy
is made public here only because it makes this
fact crystal-clear: a war can be won only by
sacrifice
Buying War Bonds may cali for sacrifice on
our part. But when our sacrifice is compared
to that of Helen Conner or her men, doesn't
it make you feel that putting every last cent
into War Bonds is really little enough to do7
See II yos cant buy another Bond-today.

gram:

his deepest sympathy to you In the loss Of

-Four days later, on the 4th of July, got
another message:

brother, Michael Zadorkin, was killed in
action in performance Of his duty and IN

your brother, Allan Zadorkin. Report re-
ceived states he was killed In action on
July 9th, 1913.
Some time later I saw my husband. He
was as shocked as was about the death of
our only son and my two brothers. But he was
all the more determined to fight on.
