of the enemy when they became en-
tangled in dense growth of vines.

behind, Sergt. Eubanks crawled for
ward to heave a grenade. Within
Is yards of the Japs, he opened fire
with his automatic. He got num-
ber of them but received wound
in return, his rifle also being struck.
Using his rifle stock as club, he
charged the enemy and was heard
to shout. Come on. get up, get up

fenses could be seized. He crawled
30 feet in front of his squad and had
gone 100 yards when he was wounded
in the leg.
He reached within 10 yards of the
machine gun, however, before he
was killed. While Sergt. Pendleton's

other. eventually destroyed the gun
that killed him.

CLOTHING DRIVE
IS HUGE SUCCESS

The used clothing drive for war
relief which was held in our
county last week was a great sue
cess, according to Drive Chairman
Harold Cameron. Mr.. Cameron
said the response was very good
and thanks are due all who aided
in the drive. The clothing will be
sent to the National Clothing Col
lection Committee in Washington
for distributions among EurOpe'S s
war refugees.
Over 25,OOO pairs of shoes were
donated, Mr.. Cameron said, and
the great bulk of the collection
was mems suits and overcoats,
WOmenS dresses and infants wear.
Very few items were discarded,
Some ladies fancy hats and one
tuxedo were discarded since these
items were not wanted by the
committee.
Mr.. Cameron also wishes to
thank the State ond County High
way system for the use of their
trucks, the Principals and Superin-
tendents of the schools, and the
ladies who volunteered TO help
sort the clothing.
The room in the court house
basement proved too small to hold
the amount collected and it was
transferred to the high school gym
naSium. A conservative estimate
said that one-half the gym floor
was covered with clothes. At this
time it is impossible to tell the
total weight as enough cartons
could not be had to pack the
clothing for shipment.

$4,000 In BONDS
ARE ALREADY SOLD

"How many e Bonds have been
credited to Union county since
April 1st?" was asked Drive
Chairman Lloyd Wall the other
DAY. The answer was 1925 900.
worth.
Not a bad start, you may say,
but what a distance to go before
we ring down the curtain in the
7th War Loan Drive. The "E'
Bond quota for this county is
$4,000. So we've merely gotten
our feet wet with less than
Z per cent on the line. Yet the first
buying has been unsolicited. When
the real push starts, watch for
the same type of loyal support
every previous drive has enjoyed
in Union county.
A small boy counted out Sc in
pennies, nickleS and dimes the
other day. He wanted it invested
in Savings Stamps to help win the
war, wondering just how long it
would be after his purchase be-
fore the war would end! Now is
the time to gather up the small
coins and put them to work. Get
out the folders partically complet-
ed and build up TO a 25 dollar
Bond.
Individuals are taking on their
biggest undertaking in the 7th
Drive. The nation is asked to buy
Z billion dollars, 4 of it in e.
Bonds. Why the jump? Because
war spending is at the peak and
soon to come is the moving of the
west implements of war to the
Pacific where the finish must
come. In spite of all the Japs put
out of business at this point they
are still replacing men faster than
American troops have taken them
out of action.
Their annual rate of replace
ment is 25O,0O0 and they have not
lost men that fast. Much heroic
fighting is still ahead and in the
war to date we at home are carry
ing the easy end of the load. We
merely lend our money and in re-
turn receive a good rate of inter
est. We deserve no medals for
bravery in action but it's the jot
assigned to us and the least we car
do is to perform it willingly anC
Systematically. No matter what
your task may be in this drive
ahead-give it the time and at
tention it requires and don't for,
get it means to buy all the bonds
you can, yourself-then you'll be
better salesman.
