WAR LOAN DRIVE
GETS GOOD START

The township Bondauiers of But
Ter county assembled Monday night
in the Moose auditorium for a rous-
ing rally in connection with the
Seventh War Loan drive. The meet
ing was opened at $3.50 o'clock, with
a program jammed with interesting
and entertaining features
Harry Jeffrey, former congressman,
Dayton, spoke about some of his ex-
periences and observations during a
tour of World War ii battlefelds.
Radio entertainers from Cincinnati ap-
peared in specialties.
Lunch and refreshments were serv-
ed at the close of the program dur
ing which order books and other sup
plies for the solicitation of potential
bond buyers were distributed. Select
ed movies, provided by government
agencies, were shown.
Earlier Start
The Seventh War Loan drive starts
formally May Ia, but it was consid-
cred feasible to get the rural can
vass started early-farmers face a
busy season and will, under this plan,
be able to choose the "spare hours"
of any, to sign up neighbors on the
bond orders.
''This year there will be only two
War Loan drives, instead of the three
we had last year, Joseph H. Warn
dorf, committee chairman, said. "That
means bigger extra bonds.

In his statement Senator Wagner
described mass unemployment as the
greatest threat" to the freedom of
the nations economic and political in
make it impossible" for the United
States to exert its full influence to-
ward q lasting peace.
The purpose of the hearings, he
stated, are two-fold: To develop "the
basic facts" about what full employ
ment and full production will mean
for the American people, and to ex-
plore the most practical methods for
achieving "the best possible condi-
tions" of employment and business ac-
tivity,
The committee, he added, would
seek to present concrete proposal"
that would represent minimum of
disagreement about methods and a
maximum of agreement Chased upon
knowing the facts and discussing the
facts calmly and democratically with
out bias or prejudice or emotion"
Witnesses from "all walks of life"
would be called, Senator Wagner said,
and testimony from war veterans
would be awaited most "anxiously." !"
In his statement he used the term
full employment" throughout and did
not mention any specific goal, such as
the 60,O0O,O00-jo figure frequently
used by Administration spokesman.

is to be in E Bonds" Secretary of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr.,
recently said in announcing the Ad-
vance Payroll Savings drive. The
Secretary further stated:
ITO meet this unprecedented but
vitally necessary E Bond quota, the
American worker, through the pay
roll savings plan, is being called upon
for increased allotments and extra
cash War Bond purchases to a great
er extent than in any previous drive.
"War is the grimmest and greatest
of human endurance tests. The side
that wins, in the final analysis, is
the side that is in there working and
fighting at the end-the side with
the stamina and the spirit to endure
the long and terrible ordeal
"The present war imposes its test
no less upon civilians than upon the
men in the armed services. Victory
goes inevitably to the side whose men
and women, in and out of uniform,
stick longest and most unwaveringly
to the performance of their jobs.
"There has been a fundamental
change in the nature of the war.
There is no limited objective now.
The objective is total victory. The
nearer we drive toward the enemy's
heart, the costlier the war becomes.
AS we begin to go all out against
the Japanese, so will our costs in
crease due to greater distances.
II know that Americans need no
appeal to meet the demands of the
Seventh War Loan. The way for
each of us here at home to meet these
demands is through increasing War
Bond purchases, unceasing devotion
to his duty and his job and through a
vivid knowledge that to win we must
sacrifice.
"Our response to the Seventh War
Loan will be the vindication to these
men of their faith in us"
