$sOO,sO7.OO
Drive ends July IL

Mr.. Green pointed out that the
drive will end July IL and express
ed the belief that with less than
one-third of the quota sold the
progress of the drive is not quite
up to expectations at this point.
He said, however, that four of the
more popular issues of bonds which
are being offered during the drive
are dated June 26 and he express
ed the belief that a number of the
larger bond purchasers will with
hold making their selections until
near that date.
Fraternal and Civic Groups
Reports to Mr.. Green from the
various sections Of the County in
dicate that fraternal and civic
groups are making an intensive
canvass of their areas and he is
hopeful that these results begin
to bear fruit shortly in the form
of increased bond subscriptions.
The reports from the County's
public schools, headed by DR.. Ed
win w. Broome, which accepted
quota of $30O,O0O.OO, are very
favorable, Mr.. Green said, though
no final figures have been receiv-
ed from the schools.
DickersOn School Results
The two-room school at Dicker-
son, with a quota of $1,000 has
sold over $4,000. An interesting
sidelight is the fact that John
Moore, the IL year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Roy P. Moore, won the
prize for the pupil selling the
largest amount, went out and sold
an additional $4,000 worth to a
neighborhood man and received
his diploma as a graduate of ele-
mentary school all on his birth
day.
The Board Of Trade group, head
ed by John r. Pagan, reported
to Mr.. Green that it expects to
raise its full quota of $3.50, 100000
and the Rotary group, headed by
F. Barnard Welsh, with a quota of
S2OO,0OO.00, are expected to equal
or exceed the quota assigned them.

Interest In the Bond Drive will
be heightened by Bond Rally at

TOXIC IL Is Claimed
Bomber" that the BIO
- ,-, is capable of
carrying a bombing load across
the Atlantic and return without
refueling. If that can be done
from America to Europe it
therefore means that, when
other nations develop a bomber
as powerful land perhaps OF
greater capacity it can just as
surely be flown from Europe to
America.
1t is only through our ability
to plan, produce and operate the
advanced machinery of warfare
that we can deliver so many
telling blows against the Nip
ponese. Had we remained as
weakened as we were following
Pearl Harbor the Japs would,
by this time, have approached
our western shores just as we
have climbed the ladder OF
islands from the Solomons to the
Marianas where we are in posi-
ton to punish the Japanese in
their home bases. We cannot
help but be thrilled by the action
of our forces in the Pacific. We
are thrilled even beyond the
hope Of early peace. Our thrill
comes through a natural feeling
of disgust and desire for proper
revenge against the Japs for the
many insults they have handed
us and especially for the das-
tardly attack they made on US
at Pearl Harbor while their
emissaries were in Washington
presumably making sincere
effort to avoid armed conflict.
An expression of this keen
dislike of race is not in line
with Christian
Dangerous teaching and yet
In Hands Of it is hard to
Enemy convince ones
self that our
war with Japan does not follow
our turning the other cheek.
And from a practical outlook
as well as from our determine
ton to do all possible to elimi-
nate future wars it is impera-
tive that we not only lick Japan
but that we do the job SO COM
pletely that japan will cease to
exist as a world power. 1t
must be our objective to do this
job in the Pacific so well that
for centuries, perhaps even for
ever, these warlike little yellow
devils viii be forced to live with,
for, and among themselves. They
have sacrificed every vestige of
right they ever had Of being
accepted in the family Of re-
spectacle nations. In our war with
Japan we seek equalization, COM
plete and absolute, not annhila-
ton. And yet if the only way
we can secure capitalization is
through humiliation then there
should be no qualms over adj
ministering the dosage.
During the past few days we
have had unveiled two mon
strous devices of destruction-the
B-29 and the German pilot-less
bomb. When we compare the
airplane as weapon Of attack
during the First World War
with the air power of today it
is mighty easy TO envision the
development Of ocean cruising
bombers and ocean flying tor
pedoes which viii carry death
and destruction thousands of
miles and infiet untold agonies
on innocent non-combatants.
