Bigger Bond Sales Needed

Ypsilanti's Fourth War Bond sales coming in
fast enough There must be and bigger purchases
We there will be- Ypsilanti has failed
any war bond drive, but why delay your purchase
Think of those flying in sub temperatures
with oxygen short but bursting enemy shells always
plentiful.
Think of those in the snake fever and insect in
tested lungles, facing death day and night.
Think of those navy men fighting the enemy the
under the sea and in the air.
Millions of the very best of our American youth make
up the forces fighting men have never fought before
Hours conditions danger have place for consideration
in their routine yet they buying bonds in pro-
portion to their earnings than any other class of people
They have daily proof of the need for money to keep
Senta supplies pouring into supply centers They the
suffering the injuries and deaths They their friends
fall and drive on constantly knowing that their turn
come at any moment.
All these and thousands of other for buying
bonds are common knowledge. The need is for general
realization of the urgency Of the occasion The govern
ment must have YOUR help
And in buying bonds has right to feel that any
sacrifice is being made These war bonds are merely
good sound interest bearing profitable investments Why
should it be necessary to have special campaign to
sell them? Why should group of citizens in Ypsan
any other city be called upon to spend their time in
urging other people to invest money which will not only
return good profit but will help at the front in
the work they are doing to make this country comfortable
and safe?
The is that we here at home have not yet felt
the horrors Our homes aren't being bombed children
aren't starving as they are in Europe India and China We
haven't yet been aroused to anything like about time
effort We talk of early victory but relatively few
doing anything that borders actual sacrifice to
help make that early victory come just a little more
quickly
1t is a perfectly natural state of mind Compacency
prevails till tragedy strikes To that fact may
attribute this This nation could not be aroused to
the Importance of stopping Germany when first prepare
tions started We comfortable then, just
The great danger now is that our eagerness
to enjoy American comforts will deprive of them You
know it, if you have given the subject any thought why
not them start right doing something about it.
You may not be able to work in a factory, sew
for the Red Cross or even give blood but there are very
few who cannot invest more money in War Bonds.
In behalf of the and women helping to sell these
securities, in behalf of the who fighting and be-
of protection which every of wants and is
getting at tremendous cost of life, you to

Who Said Spring?

Who said Spring This is

roller skating and wriggling in
their school seats because il
feels like vacation weather.

winter into summer by having
a picnic and they enjoyed IL
so much that they say they

But it still isn't spring, though
the thermometer lowered

been seen or heard. not a GRO
