shadowed news On the fight
ing fronts during the past

$150,000 Is
Needed
A thoughtless high school student goes in the door of
the drug store with a quarter in his pocket. He sits
down and plunks the quarter on the counter—“A choco
late milk shake please”—and two nickels go into the
piccolo, “Black Magic” and “You’d Be So Nice To
Come Home To” blares away. On the soda counter
there is a poster “Buy bonds with that quarter,” but it
is too late now, so there is one less stamp bought—-one
less.

Pvt. Templeton entered the Bet-
vice in December, 11H2.
One less quarter goes to the United States Treasury.
One less clip of bullets is turned out on the production

BondDay
Somewhere in the South Pacific on an island a Unit
ed States Marine stands in a fox-hole with his rifle
trained on a line of Japs, slowly proceeding up the
hill—eight—nine—not many Japs. A Marine’s match
for an even fight. The Marine is tense as his steady
finger searches for the trigger in the dark fox-hole.
Above, the sun shines doAVn on a world at war, and
scattered clouds dance across the skies. The Japs come
closer—closer—closer—’til the Marine is Just a hun
dred feet or more in front of them. He thiidts of home
—back in the good old U. S. A. He thinks about Mary
ghte he
He pulls the trigger and the first slug finds its place
in a Jap’s belly—five minutes pass and two Japs are
left.
One is behind a tree—one is on the ground, both with
gleaming slant eyes shining with the blood of Pearl
Harbor. The Marine murmurs—“This one’s for Pearl
Harbor”—as he fires the last shot of the fourth clip of
cartridges. Another Jap falls face down in the mud—
where all Japs belong.
One Jap is left—the Marine reaches into his pocket
for the next clip—but it isn’t there—-one less clip is
there—one less clip was turned out of the factory—one
LESS war stamp was bought—one MORE milk shake
was bought . . . -
Hitler’s Birthday Cel-
ebrilted With Big
Lot of Sales
North Wilkesboro school
on Tuesday, April 20, Hit
ler’s bk-thday, sold a total
of $1,205 in bonds and
stamps.
The students celebrated
-the birthday oi Hitler in a
ords at fb^school for one
day’s bond and stamp bus
iness.
The school sells bonds
and stamps to students two
days each week and since
bonds and stamps went on
sale the volume has
amounted to a very sub
stantial sum.
The Jap stands up, his eyes blazing with MURDER
and he sends two slugs into the fox hole.
Blood runs down the Marine’s fate and his hand
clutches his throat as a painful frown grasps his face—
his jaws tighten as the blood—red and warm—gushes
out between his fingers. He turns and falls . . . and he
draws his last breath because one less stamp was
bought.
Mount Pleasant
High Finals On
Monday, Apr. 26
In order to reach the goal
of $374,100, war bond salea
I in Wilkes county during tbe
I remainder of this moolii
I must totfd approximately
$150,000, W. D. Halfacre,
war finance campaign chair
man for Wilkes, said today.
Mr. Halfacre stated that bond
sales to date were approximately
$225,000, but that the sum In
cluded the purchases by the heavy '
investors and- that the balance
must come from persons who can
buy only the smeller bonds In de
nominations from $25 to $1,000.
It is interesting to note that
Tuesday, April 23, the birthday of
Hitler, was a banner day in bond
sales in Wilkes county and that
many people' called at banks and
other issuing agents to buy bonds
and asked that the date, Hitler’s
birthday, be stamped on the bond.
’Thus they paid their respects to
"by-furnishing money ■wltir
which to pay for the implements
of warfare to defeat Hitler and all
he stands for.
A'esterday Mr. Halfacrc receiv
ed a letter from Duke Power
company in Charlotte stating
that $20,000 had been allotted by
the company to purchase bonds
for which Wilkes will get credit
in the campaign. Previously $10.-
000 had been received from the
International Shoe company,
which operates a wood extract
pirnf here.
The war finance or.ian'/.ation is
making a strong appeal to all the
people who hove money to invest
it now in war bonds in order that
the nrtional goal of $13,000,000.-
000 may he reached before the
first of May.
