Straight Talk About the
18th War I,0an

straight Talk About the
It'll War Loan
So, the war in Germany is over
the 7th War Loan starts May IA.
Americans as individuals are TAX
ing on their biggest quota to date
Z billion dollars, 4 billions in E
bonds alone. Why this biggest OF
all individual quotas now?-a fair
question - requiring straight
answer.
First, the battle of Japan has just
begun. 1t must be backed up, paid
for, fought for by a free people.
The war to crush Japan will be
bigger, tougher, and longer than
most Americans expect. To crush
Japan will take time, heroic and
backbreaking effort, overpowering
equipment. The sick, wounded and
disabled will require medical at
tention and care. Millions OF dollars
will be required for benefits voted
by Congress to help our veterans.
It's now up to us. Let all Ameri-
cans do his part-for his own sake
and for his country.
The 7th War Loan will be han
died in Eureka district by the To-
bacco Valley Grange taking care
OF the rural and the Volunteer Fire
department soliciting in town.
The members Of your Volunteer
Fire Department have offered their

We Day

We Day came to Eureka almost
as an anti-climax to the many days
of rejoicing over the good news OF
recent weeks. On Monday both
schools dismissed for the afternoon
and the pupils, carrying flags,
marched behind the band to the
business district. On Tuesday a
few Of the churches showed that
they had been heated for use by any
who wished to offer their prayers
of thanksgiving. Few seemed to feel
in celebrating mood. Perhaps our
hearts were filled with thoughts
Of loved ones and friends who must
needs to 60 and finish the work.
Others were thinking Of the ones
who would not return; while some
were thinking Of the larger task
ahead-that of living in peace with
the world after the "tumult and
the shouting dies One helpful
thought was expressed over the
airwaves along this line" There
is no better way of hating hatred
than by loving love"-may God
give us grace to put this thought

Citation For MeritOriOus Service
Unit Plaque
During the period % October,
l943, to 81 August, 1914, the 96th
Signal Battalion was called on to
construct, maintain and operate an
intricate signal communications
system in the jungle of Burma un-
der the most severe and adverse
conditions of monsoon and disease
and in the face of enemy action
This organization worked in most
exemplary manner to provide the
highly efficient signal communica-
tons needed to make possible the
capture of Northern Burma. The
entire battalion saw prolonged serv-
ice with combat units in Northern
Burma, serving side by side with
(Merrill's Marauders) It operated
telephone, teletype and radio in
stallations along the Ledo Road
from Ledo to Myitkyina, where in
stallations were made under in
tense enemy she'll fire. The record
of achievement of the 96th Signal
Battalion is worthy Of the finest
traditions of the military service OF
the United States.
