Newbuiy, Beneath The Pisgah Comer Poet s They Finished Their Job—Let’s Finish Ours Through seven War Bond drives the people of the United States have been asked to buy Bonds to speed the end of the war, to help our government meet the expenses of the war and to take advantage of* the best investment ever offered. Nov^r v^e are approaching the Eighth Bond Drive—^the final—^the VICTORY loan Drive. This is the last of the Drives—the last time we will be asked to help pay for the war through our Bond-buying. In the other Bond Drives our money was used for tools of destruction. This time, though, our aims are different. This time our money will be used to bring men honie from overseas, to check inflation, to take care of families of men who were killed while fighting our war. The Victory Loan Drive extends through December 8th., and during that period eleven billion dollars must be collected—we have proved before that we as a nation can "come through in the clinches.” And now we must prove it once more. . The war is over—yes—but we haven’t paid the bill for it. Our men in uniform have finished their job—let’s finish ours! Garden Display (Continued From Page One) one of the most interested parties attending the meeting. “Mr. Straus,’’ stated Mr. Jeter, “not only took an active part in the discussions, but he was quick to realize what the production of an adequate supply of vegetables meant to the employees of his company. Since most foods have been short all during the war pe riod, the garden program proved to be a great success.” Continuing, Mr. Jeter told his radio audience that since the pro gram had been so successful, it was decided to celebrate by hold ing a victory garden show which was staged in the company cafe teria, and even though the deci sion to hold the festival was made at the last minute, the garden show was a complete success. There were many entries of all kinds of vegetables and fruits and flowers, the Honorable Gregg Cherry, Governor of N. C., made the principal address of the , eve ning, there was square dancing and refreshments. Over 976 entries were made in different divisions and around $800 in prizes were distributed to contestants. The display included fresh fruits and vegetables, canned fruits and vegetables, and flowers, both cut and potted. “Many of the items entered in this display,” said Mr, Jeter, “would have done credit to a State Fair.*’ He also brought into bis broadcast the fact that in the instance where any Ecustans did not have adequate land of their own where they could conduct their victory garden programs that the company had prepared and loaned a large piece of acre age to individuals who needed garden space. Even though the fighting is over, there is still a need for more food and it has been decided that the Ecusta garden campaign woulid continue since this is one of the best ways to secure an adequate supply of fresh fruits and vege tables.
