FOUR YEARS AGO, HQrs WAS IN OUR SHOES

IANs is German Four years ago, he felt the way
many of us feel today. He thought the war was
rs good as won.
He had reason to think So Far more reason than we
have. France was his. England was bloody after
Dunkerque. The German Army seemed invncble
But the war wasn't almost over And now it is our
armies that the march, 1t is our bombers blast
Ing German cities. Victory is in our grasp. It's up to
us to see that we don't let it slip through fingers
the way Hans did,
Most Of US know that this Is the military crisis Of
this war-thestime when our fighting men must give
everything they have, not once in 4 while but hour
after hou-day after day.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1944-08-31

But this alone is not enough The lives of brave men
are not enough Money is needed too
For this is the financial crisis Of the war just as
surely as is the military crisis Millions OF dol
lars worth Of equipment is being destroyed. The
money to replace it must come from us, quickly.
If every last of us here home will try to match
the constant, dayto-day drive of the men who fight
our battles, we'll raise that money.
The way to do 1t Is to put every cent can possibly
invest into us. War Bonds. Not some Of US. All Of
us. Not once In while during drive, but regularly.
Can we do the job that Hans couldn't do? It's up to
you.
