PAGE TWO THE JOHNSTONIAN - SUN, SELMA, N. C. THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1943. THE 2nd WAR LOAN DRIVE IS ON! MMFDM to o o do 6 AMERICA Let's be frank about it ... so far, many of us back (J home have been fighting this war from an easy chair. ITU Many of us have bought War Bonds out of extra cash, out of money we .didn't miss too much. We haven't been really tough with ourselves. But his war is a hard, down-to-reality war. And many of our boys are dying in it. We've got to buy MORE So your government asks you to buy Bonds and more Bonds -to get really tough with yourself. We're asking you to give up the frills and "extras" for the rest of this war. We know how human it is not to make sacrifices until the crisis drives us to it. In England they felt the same way until the bombs started falling. Now they can't do enough! ; Bombs are such persuasive, things. But just as persuasive ought to be the spirit of our brothers, sons, husbands - who are ready to give all. Think now . what are your dollars, compared to their lives?! 1 : ,r : V, If you could see Look at it this way -suppose you had a magic carpet that could take you to Africa and New Guinea. Suppose you could hear the groan of American boys wounded, and American boys dying ... Say now, how many Bonds would you buy? That kind of war THEY ... are dying. And they will keep on dying until we drown the enemy in an overwhelming torrent of bombs, bullets, guns, tanks, planes, ships, and shells. That's why we're asking you, in this one month of April alone, to lend Uncle Sam 13 billions of dollars - by buying War Bonds. 13 billions of extra dollars over and above any buying that you'd be doing anyway! : A" lot of money Of course, 13 billion dollars is a lot of money. It'll take sweat and tears to raise it. It'll mean going without now. But also it will mean savings now to buy later. It'll mean giving up everything you can't square with your conscience, so that we, us, our children, can have a better, more decent place to live in when this war is won. The drive is on So during this month of April, if someone calls on you to ask you to buy War Bonds in this 2ND WAR LOAPT DRIVE, will you buy to the limit and then buy more? Better yet, will you go to your Bank, Postoffice, or wherever you're used to buying your Bonds and buy NOW? Will you lend extra money this month ? Money that can hasten the day of Victory? Money that can help to save American lives perhaps your son's or your brother's or your husband's by helping to shorten this war? l' - Money buys money Remember, what you're really buying with your money is still more (money. For after all, these Bonds are money Money plus! Every dollar you put into War Bonds' will bring you a dollar plus interest. 1 So the more Bonds you buy the better for you.
