PAGE TWO SNGEY RECORD ,1 ■ SHED JULY, 1936 T ... Mrs. C. R. Hamrick Every Thursday By & PUBLISHING CO. e Partnership is matter November 11th, 1936, at the s, North Carolina, under the Act o1 ‘ ‘ FIFTH WAR LOAN On June 12, 1944, our government—which means you and every other citi zen —began its Fifth War Loan Drive. Our county’s quota in this 16-billion-dol lar drive is SlOfr/XM). We have faith that, we * shall meet this request and shall not be surprised if we ex ceed it, ' Day-by-day the war and its costs in “blood and tears,” is being brought more vividly home to the people of our county. More and more frequently those fateful messages, beginning “The government regrets,” are being delivered to our —county homes, —signifying that some man (who so re cently was one of usi has given big full measure of blood, his loss wringing the full measure of tears from the loved ones left behind. These messages and re ports from the fronts are making us all more and more aware that the only possible way to stop the in creasing flow of this bad news to our homes is to bring this war to a close as quickly as possible. There is no sudden way to end the war, but there is a way to hasten that end: to keep a ceaseless stream of supplies of every sort flow ing to the battlefronts. The men getting ihose supplies will do .he rest, and do it effectively and speedily. THEY HAVE NEVER LET US DOWN. Insofar as the invasion is concerned not a person on the home bases has .the least doubt but that every man destined to take part in that invasion will meet his assignment with cour age and determination We are confident in that assurance. To fortify those men with an equal assuran ce that we at home are backing them to our ut most, we must meet this 16-billion-dollar war loan. This is our assignment for this invasion period. When we evaluate dollars along with what v e expect our soldiers, our sailors and our marines to GIVE us, we feel a sense of shame that our government finds it necessary to emphasise that it is only asking us to loan—not give—this mon ey; that such loans are really investments on whi ch we shall receive good re turns. What returns did we assure thofce marines who were mowed down on ? Tarawa or the men due to be mowed down on Europ e’s western coasts? We could not, we can not assure them they will re turn home, but, by meeting this war loan—to keep the sinews of war flowing to them and giving them ev ery aid possible—we do as sure them that the folks 8t home are backing them every dollar they can muster for the cause. All of us must buy more War Bonds than we have ever bought before.
