AFATTISH MAN we overheard in a Pullman diner said
it would be over some time during the week of
November 11.
He’d alked to "a man who knew a man who was high
up in the army” who’d said the Allies were planning to ter
minate the war on the 25th Anniversary of the Armistice.
The fattisb man doesn't know.
A woman, who is president of a literary club in a
medium-sized town in Colorado, says the war will be
over in April, 1944.
This is (we quote her) "just a year after the fall of
Tunisia, which is about the time it ought to take us to
beat Hitler and clean up on the Japs.”
The lady doesn’t know.
The fact is that nobody can look into a crystal ball
and tell when this war is going to end. Nobody, not even
the General Staff, can look at the war maps, survey the
disposition of troops, weigh our might against the
enemy’s might, and tell when this war will end.

ITALY HAS SURRENDERED .... LET’S ALL, HELP FINISH THE JOB!
THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1943
There’s only one thing we can be sure of— just this
one thing:
This war will end sooner if everybody on our side
and that includes you —pitches in and does everything he
can to help end it. "Everything” means, among other
jobs, buying all the War Bonds you can afford. All.
Your government is asking every citizen to purchase
—during September —$100 extra in War Bonds. At least
SIOO over and above what he has been buying.
$15,000,000,000 Y'
non-banking quota •>
Does this sound like a lot to you? Well, the only
answer is our men need a lot. A General Sherman
tank still costs $90,000; a Flying Fortress still costs
$450,000.
You can buy your extra SIOO worth, can’t you? If you
can’t, read over every story in today’s paper that tells about
some soldiers, some sailors, some marines, some merchant
seamen dying somewhere in this war-ripped world.
And remember they’re dying for you.
