NE JUST WANT TO SAT
It's all right for the enlisted
man to shoot the breese with that
lovely gal in town, but please,sol
dier, don't toll her anyiliing appro
ximating the truth.
It's all very well for you to
toll her vrtiat an important follow
you were in civilian life, how yoi
could have been mayor of your town,
if only you hadn't been drafted, or
how you turned down that contract
to sing with Harry James—but don't
tell her anything which could bo
used by clever Axis agents.
It is little bits of informa
tion on how Seymour Johnson Field
functions, and not little vdiite
lies, that the spy craves. What may
seem entirely trivial to you may
be of importance to the spy.
So soldiorj ZIP TOUR LIP!
