THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER
(One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, AUGUST u ,
- "
It isn't over yet
In this third year of war, our fight
ing men are on the March of Victory to
Berlin. They are well on the way to
Bataan.
And this year, as the free labor of
America celebrates its Labor Day, every
American worker can well feel proud of
Ills and her part in backing the men with
the guns.
Hitler and Tojo thought Americans
were "decadent." The American fighter
answered with his gun. The American
worker put that gun in his hand. A
peaceful country was turned into a war
time arsenal through the hard work of
the home front army.
Specifically here at Dayton Rubber,
our workers are turning out hundreds of
pontons now being thrown across the
rivers of Burma, France and Italy by our
Army Engineers.
The life rafts produced have saved
and will save scores of lives of American
and Allied airmen.

Our workers making Dayton Oxy
gen Hose are meeting an urgent demand
from the Army Air Forces and from the
Navy for thousands of oxygen hose for
B-29's (now bombing Japan's home is
lands), B-17's, the Navy's Corsairs, Cur
tiss Helldivers, and other high-altitude
planes.
The V-Belts made here are a special
type for the textile industry which pro
duces war materials.
Our textile products are helping
make parachutes, uniforms, bandages.
But our workers know that while
Germany is on the run, this Labor Day
is not an occasion to celebrate Victory
yet. The enemy is badly shaken. But he
is not beaten. They know that war ma
terials are still needed and, now that the
pace has quickened, needed in greater
quantities than ever.
So our Dayton Rubber war workers
are staying on the job right to the very
last minute. Until our men come march
ing home triumphant.
