Pinal County Over Top In War Bond Drive
WE BACK THE ATTACK

Citizens of Pnal County can look with feeling
of satisfaction upon the results of their purchases
of War Bonds during the 4th War Loan Drive. The
raising of funds asked by government whereby
our boys at the front may be properly and prompt
y equipped and thus protected to the greatest pos
slble degree is the duty and the privilege of those
of who remain at home
To those who regularly invest of their means
in War Bonds and who exerted special effort to
buy that extra bond during the drive just closed,
there must come that happy feeling of being
active member of winning team that doesn't count
odds.
For those upon whom falls the job of organiz-
ing of soliciting and otherwise coordinating the
willing effort of the investing public there remains
the altogether satisfying picture of how the. con-
tributons by the many, quickly add up to a formid
able whole-the effectiveness of democratic effort,
with each doing his or her part.
And to those of various communities who
have joined the colors whose thoughts constantly
revert to the folks at home and the home town of
which they themselves so much part-what
better or more stimulating news regarding their
town send them than to report the sale of
our bond quotas?
Let Us translate our purchases OF War Bonds
in terms of direct assistance to boys in the arm
ed forces of bombs or bullets rained upon enc
mics. Or we consider them in sober reality that
our investment has assisted in saving of soldiers
life, possibly close to our community perhaps
one and dear to ourselves.
