On Dr. Goebbels’ calendar there’s a circle
’round January 1
O N JANUARY 1 the Nazis are going to find out
just hotw we Americans really feel about this
war—whether we’re all of us in it all the way.
For January 1 is the date set by Uncle Sam when
everybody on a payroll ought to be enrolled in the
Payroll Savings Plan—so that at least 10% of the
gross pajrroll of every firm goes into War Bonds
every payday.
Plan, sign up today. If you’re setting aside less than
10%, get signed up for more—and fast! If you can
afford to invest more than 10% .do it—and be glad
you can.
A*******************************
WHAT YOU SHOUID DO:
And when we reach that goal by January 1—it’s
going to be painful news for Dr. Goebbels and his
cronies!
For there’s nothing that can end this war quicker,
nothing that can shatter our enemies as completely
as the knowledge that we Americans are all of us
fighting this war with everjrthing we’ve got! And
doing it our own democratic way—^because we know
in our own minds we’ve got to do it to survive.

At the moment there are many of us who ought to
be on Payroll Savings Plans—and aren’t. And
though some of us are investing more than 10%, a
lot of us are doing less than we can and should.
And in serving our country we serve ourselves—not
only today, but tomorrow as well. For every $3 we
put into War Bonds comes back to us as $4 when
the Bonds mature—to buy the things we want and
cannot get today.
So it’s up to you to see that we "Top That 10% by

4, Unable to get in on the Payroll Savings Plan
