LETS ALL BACK THE
ATTACK
The Fourth War Loan is part and
parcel of the preparations for the allcut
smash at Germany and Japan.
The slogan, "Let's all Back the Attack,"
conveys the note of urgency
to everyone of us to do our utmost
to make certain that we do not have
another Dunkerque or Dieppe on our
hands. - If you have anyone near the
battlefront—and who has not—you
will want to sacrifice to the point of
hurt to buy extra war bonds.
This is the kind of a war you as
an individual cant brush off. You're
in it to the hilt. Not since the very
beginning of the Republic have the
ringing words of the Founding Far
thers—"we pledge our lives and our
fortunes"—resounded so clearly and
so truly. Because if we lose, we lose
all—not only as a nation but as
individuals.
In the big assault, in which men
from this community—men from
your very home and your neighbors'
homes—will be braving every terror
a Hitler can hurl against them—you
have a Job to do. You cant afford
to take the chance that you will not
be needed. Every man and woman
and even our children must deny
themselves comforts and luxuries to
put the money into extra war bonds
in order to achieve in some measure
the sacrifices which their sons,
brothers, fathers, husbands and
friends will make in the next few
months, perhaps weeks.
The fateful days are here. In the
years to ecme ]m will look back at
the early months at 1944 and recall
what you did to help save yourself,
your family and your country.
Every home which displays the
Treasury Department's 4th War
Loan, red, white and blue shield with
its prood message, "We've Bought
Extra Bonds," is adding its weight
to the sttack
In doing your ditty in the forthcoming
invasion to crash oar enemies,
you are first being loyal to your
country. However, you must not loae
sight of the fact that "baying bonds"
sad keeping them is actaally saving
moaey. Bends ars savings. They
are real social security, real old age
