SUGGEST BONDS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS,
MOTHER'SDAY, GRADUATION, new BABY

the future, you are providing some
thing which the graduate of today
will want very much. Right now
they are not certain what they
want or what they need. The cur
rent picture is too confused. You
can't go wrong on a War Bond.
They don't have to fit, you don t
have to worry about an excess OF
duplicates and they match any col
or of eyes.
For the new baby. Now here
you really have something. Every
baby born today owes something
like $1,000 on the public debt. Why
not give the kid a break? Help him
or her carry a part of the burden.
Mrs. John DutrO, as chairman ct
the baby bond committee, assisted
by Mrs. Merle Stephens and a spec
ial task force, are sending out let
terS to all families with brand new
youngsters, suggesting to them
that Baby Bond would put Junior
on the road to a happy future. 1t
can be the first payment on a col
lege career.
Walt Disney enters into this
picture for with the Bond purchase
goes a handsome certificate with
border of clever figures from
Waits Snow White" Bugs Bun
ny" and other creations. You could
MT give a child a better start than
through providing it with a stake
in its government. Even this new
generation can take a hand in help
ing settle for the war and establish
ing peace in their time. Buy Bonds
for the baby and other small child
rem. Help lift their debt burden.
They didn't start the war.
For Mothers Day. Here is an
exceptional opportunity. May 13
is Mothers Day. What would be
more appropriate than a War
Bond? Later when things she
needs are available let her have the
pleasure of shopping for them. She
will make the money go farther and
accomplish more. She will ap-
preciate a patriotic gift. Values are
questionable now. Not many
months hence civilian goods will
again be on the shelves IN big
quantities and a dollar will go far
ther. Buy your Mother a Bond.

More than 600 people taxed the
capacity of Trinity Lutheran

Mighty Fortress, by Gronau, play
ed by d. A. Vetter, organist-

Presbyterian Church

Seven suggestions fol" observing
We day were presented by DR.. J.
w. Creighton, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, in special
services held there Tuesday morn
ing. His suggestions in brief:
l. Relax from the strain. Fam
lily picnics would be good, or other
family activities. Working the gar
den or other efforts of this type.
1t is necessary, or at least highly
important, to release some of these
tensions, and we should do it in a
way that will not bring other ten
SionS.
2. Give some thought to the pro-
blemS that are unloosed by We
day-the problem of occupation (of
Germany, of getting people home,
of changing fronts (to the Pacific) ,
the problem of food and of reed
ucating the world.
3. Give thought to the suffering
of the World-in China, first to
feel the present war; in. Britain,
France, Denmark, Holland, Nor
way, Russia, Greece, Italy, Ethio-
pia, Germany, Japan and the Phil
ippines.
4. Give thought to families
prayer for bereaved families, for
those who are in suspense not
knowing what has happened to
their loved ones, and for separated
families.
5. Give thought to the wounded
Many mental cases have been
brought on among the soldiers by
the strain under which they have
been serving. The disabled and dis
figured will need to be cared for
and returned to as near normal life
as possible.
6. Keep in mind the war with ia
pan. We should keep our resolu-
tion strong to finish it.
Z. Give thoughts to the efforts
for peace at San Francisco ano
elsewhere. 1t is to be hoped that
the worlds leaders in session now
can bring about a lasting peace.
Dr. Creighton intersperSed his
suggestions with periods of silent
prayer. The theme o. the service
was the seventh verse of the seth
chapter of Isaiah, For Mine House
shall be called a House of Prayer
for all peoples"
The Presbyterian services were
opened with the Star SpangleC
