VyASHINGTON, D. C.—The na-
v » tion’s retailers from the tiniest
hamlets to the mighty cities are act-
ing as a spearhead in a great Treas-
ury Department campaign to sell
the additional War Savings Stamps
needed to fill more than 100,000,000
albums now in the hands of the
American people.
According to a report released by
the Treasury Department today,
sales of War Savings Stamps totaled
$559,777,000 for the period from May
1, 1941, through November, 1942.
Stamp sales have risen from less
than three million dollars per month
when they were first introduced to
the public to an average of more
than fifty million dollars per month
at the present time.

The importance of the drive ii
seen in the fact that a Waf Bond po-

hangs in the balance.
Every War Stamp album, con-
verted into a People’s Bond, for
which the purchaser pays $18.75 and
which matures to $25.00 value when
held for 10 years, adds its force to
the war effort.
The Treasury Department is
counting upon the country’s school
children to play a powerful role in
the success of the SAY YES drive.
The volume of stamp and bond sales
is at the rate of $200,000,000 for the
current school year.

“It’s nice of you to come,” Sophia
said. “Do sit down.”
“We came,” Mrs. Kimball said
almost reprovingly, “to tell you that
our hearts are bleeding for you in
your great loss.”
“We know how lonely you must be

“With nothing to take your mind off

Editorial
Today the high school stu-
dents throughout America have
been made to rrfUue wk it. as-
important part they are to play
in the war effort. Besides the
ever present duty of buying war
bonds and stamps and collecting
scrap there are other definite
steps these pupils should follow:
Keep physically fit. Eat the
right kind of food, get penty of
exercise and sufficient sleep.
When a person is ill he must
be cared for. This not only in-
terrupts his own routine but
that of the person who must
care for him.
Study hard. When a student
learns to take directions for the
preparation of his lessons he
gains not only essential knowl-
edge, but a fundamental quality
that will make it possible for
him to accept and carry out the
orders of his superior officers.
Develop initiative. Don’t wait
to be told to “buy a stamp” or
“take that piece of iron to the
junk yard.” No employer wants
a man who must be told bit by
bit what work he is expected to
accomplish.
Have a garden. It doesn’t mat-
ter how small the ground is
there is always room for rad-
ishes or a few tomato plants.
Each bit of food that is raised
leaves another can of food on

sist a shocked glance at one an-

“I want to get it right away,” So-
phia said. “So I can put it into War
Bonds. My boy hasn’t finished fight-
ing yet, not by a long shot.”
The ladies were so occupied with
feeling horrified, so titillated by this
callous behaviour in a bereaved
mother—that neither of them no-
ticed Sophia’s hands. Under the
folds of her clean print dress,
against the seat of her chair, they
were tightly clenched.

In order to finance the War and to uphold the tends
of President Roosevelt in his fight against inflation, we have
all been asked to invest 10? of our earnings in War Bonds.
Aside from the undisputed fact that it is a very sound
investment our government is merely asking us to protect our-
selves by the investment of this 10?. Compare that to what
is being done ty the-Axis nations to their Own people. There is
no request for investment there; they simply take the money away
from their citisens, to say nothing about what is being done to
the occupied countries where all forms of property have been
seised.
There is no doubt about our ultimate victory tet if
you do your share you are helping to bring the War to a close
before there is too great a waste of money and material, to say-
nothing about our boys who are at the front battling fear the
liberties that we have enjoyed in oar cwintry down through the
ages.
