The country must have billions of dollars to carry on the war. When yoii are approached be sure j/ou sign one of these pledge cards for as much as you possibly can! FIGHTING ON THE HOME FRONT. There rests upon the shoulders of every American, of every North Car olina, of every one in Hoke county, the responsibility of whether or not our Government is to survive as a Democracy. As Tar Heels, along with every other fellow American, we have a joint liability to preserve the United States as a nation of free men. We are in a total war and total wars are people’s wars. Sacrifice and hardship await us. We do not know just now to what extent we will be called upon to face the demands upon our stamina, our morale, our labor, our money or even our very lives. We do know that the sons of North Carolinians and citizens of Hoke countr hi« making the supreme^ sacri fice in the unifoi'm of our armi^ forces. We do know that we must give them the necessary tools with which to fight to preserve our heri tage of liberty and the Four Free doms. And we do know NOW that the first call upon us, aside from these challenges to our moral fibre, is the privilege of lending our money to the limit of our ability to defend our homeland, to bridge the seas and to produce supplies of every descrip-, tion of arms and ammunition for our military forces. This question of loans must come from us, the peo ple, voluntarily, in the Democratic way to which we are accustomed. Many of us have already invested in Defense Savings Bonds and every one of us, single son and daughter of America must step into the role of a modem Minute Man and pledge that throughout 'th'e duration of this war, so long as we are financially able, we win lend our money to our Gov ernment through i^e purchase of War Savings Bonds. May 4th-9th has been designated war bond sales week in our state. The Commander in Chief of our Army and Navy and Air Force has guaranteed to us that we shaU win a glorious victory for America and Humanity. He asks that we guar antee to him our loyalty and backing in providing the financial sinews, for war costs money. We can’t let him down. We cannot let our boys down. The Governor of North Carolina has set aside the week of May 4th- May 9th as the time in which we may renew , our pledge of allegiance to the 'Flag we love and the Republic for which it stands. It will be a day when every income earner in Tar Heelia will march to the polls of patriotism and under our Democratic privilege of the Sec ret ballot, pledge a portim of our earnings on the altar of our Hallowed Bill of Rights which our forefathers established and gave their lives to preserve. It makes no difference whether you are already buying War Bonds. It makes no difference whether you have or have not already agreed to deductions of your wage through payroU savings or other methods of purchase. This formal pledge is not a second purchase program. It is not a legal contract, but it is a defi. nite moral obligation to purchase war bonds on a regular plan and gives you an opportunity to indicate you are following that'plan at the time of signature. More, it gives you the right to display in your home ffie blue emblem of distinguish ed service to your country. Let’s form a Bond Ar.my and march to the polls willingly, cheerfully, with a prayer for Victory on our lips, and pledge ourselves to lend every dol lar we can for the purchase of War Savings Bonds. We can, we will, we must buy war savings bonds in order to p]i9«erve.|pr all time our inherent right to the way of life we love here to North Carolina. Let’s make it unanimous and place a blue emblem •flinty home- Letters To The Editor Aprir21, 1942. Dear Editor: An intensified War Bond Sales Campaign is being launched through out the United States on Friday, May 1st. The people of America must more than double their investments in War Bonds and War Stamps. To this end, the Treasury Depart ment is establishing a monthly quota for every county in the United States. Labor and management are being called upon to sec that at least ten per cent of every payroll goes into Bonds and Stamps. This is a gigantic task and must be supported by the cooperation of all media. We are sending you, beginning im mediately, suggested material about the campaign. Your assistance in the past has been a great help and in order to achieve our goal we must have your continued and vigorous support, : ^ - Slnfcerely,'#' ^ ^‘ H. MORGENTHAU, Jr., Secretary of the Treasury. Washington, ,D. C. Three‘^TopKicks” Of The Army Ft. Moultrie, S. C., April 24th. — Three Fort Moultrie “top-kicks” to day learned the Army has respect for tradition. Buddies in the same out fits in their total 49 years of service, the first sergeants each have been assigned to the Officers’ Candidate School at Camp Davis, N. C., for anti-aircraft work. They are Sergeant Alfred Cole of Raeford; Sergeant Benjamin M. Bradin of 810 N. Rich street. South ern Pines; and Sergeapt Samuel H. Clapp of 515 Oakland Ave., ,High Point. Originally members of the 252nd Coast Aritllery with headquarters in Raeford, the trio met first during the National Guard unit’s summer training at Fort Moultrie. They met again at Fort Screven, Ga., when the 252nd was inducted into the army in 1941. Late in the same year Sergeants Cole and Bradin were re leased from the Army while Ser geant Clapp stayed at the camp. The war’s outbreak reunited the trio at Fort Screven when Sergeant’s Cole and Bradin were called back into service. All three were transferred to Fort Moultrie a few weeks ago. Sergeant Cole is a veteran of 21 years service since he joined the 252nd at Raeford on May 4, 1921. During the first World War he was a powder plant worker at Hopewell, Va. A father of three children, he was made a first sergeant in 1940. Sergeant Bradin enlisted in the 252nd in 1927, celebrating his 15th year of war-work last March 21. His promotion to a “top-kick” occurred just one year ago. He has a wife and two children in Southern Pines. The “youngster” of the three. Ser geant Clapp, joined the 252nd at High Point 13 years ago in January, 1929. He was made a first sergeant last November. Prisparatory to re porting at Camp Davis for his new assignment. Sergeant Clapp is on furlough at home with his parents. With The Army Petrie (Conlributed) A very lovely luncheon waS served the Raeford officers’ wives last Thursday by Mrs. T- B.

PLAYING WITH FIRE People who store supplies of gasoline on their prem ises, fearing that rationing may make it impossible for them to obtain as much gas as they want in the future, are taking a dangerous chance. That highly important warning has just been issued by the En gineering Department of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. * In the early days of motoring, gasoline could be bought in special five-gallon containers. Today, cans of that type are not available. Obtainable contain- y ers, for the most part, are not tight. Some are easily broken. Even when a tightly-capped metal container is employed, a hazard still exists. A hole may he eaten in the bottom which will allow slow leakage of the gas. That leak might not be noticed until enough explosive vapor had accumulated to cause a disastrous fire. I, When gas is stored in a basement, the vapor re leased can be ignited by the fire in the furnace. And even if the container is both leak proof and structur ally sound, a very great danger arises when the gas is poured into the car. Many cases are on record where static electricity exploded the vapor—at the cost of Jives. ' The National Board of Fire Underwriters urges fire chiefs and other officials to do all they can to prevent impro^r storage of gas. Garages should be rigor ously inspected, and all mediums of communication 'k should be used to show the public the danger involved. So—don’t store gas in or about your home. It may void your insurance policy. And it could very easily bring death and disaster to your family.
