lishing a center a day during rec-j
ent weeks. Harry C. Wiess. state
lTSO chairman, said this week.
“The USO goes with the army •
tc its expeditionary bases in every j
land.” the chairman explained, j
“so during the spring months it j
has expanded both its operations
and its planned operations great-
ly.”
Mr. Wiess. who heads the Texas j
war fund campaign opening May
11. used this method tef demonstr-
ate the need for every Texas co-
unty to exceed its quota in the-
ca m pa ign.
“As American soldiers expand ;
their operations to new continents!
so must the USO. the citizens’
way of providing recreation and
comforts for the men in service,
grows with them," he declared.
The chairman noted that a j
85.000,000 fund has been set ur>
in the I SO budget for unforseen
expenses of this nature during
the coming year, but expressed
the opinion that this might not
cover the gigantic war operations
yet to come.
“Many USO centers are already
operating in Texas, and more nr
to be built at the dozens of new
training centers already authoriz-
ed.” Mr. Wiess pointed out. "Thru
USO Texas can demonstrate its
hospitality to the thousands of I
men from other states coming j
here for their training. We must
go well over our $1,110,000 quota.’
Organization work in the 19
USO regions was virtually com-
plete this week, ready for the
drive which will be opened May
11 with an address by President
Roosevelt.

We cheered, too, when the Government called
on industry to work twenty-four hours a day,
seven days o week, until this war is won.
But continuous production is nothing new
to the electric industry. We’ve always worked
that way. That’s one big reason why we
were prepared to power the factories that are
filling the sky with planes, the earth with
tanks, and the sea with ships.
Production schedules that stagger the world
are possible only because America is so power-
fulL America has far more electric power
than all the Axis countries combined. And
today’s power is quickly available at almost
any point of need.
These things have been accomplished be-
cause America’s electric companies have been
built and operated the American way — by
good business management.
Those of us who work nl the electric company can
tell you it feels great to be able to "deliver the
goods" in our country's hour of need.

The above map of Texas shows the War Bond
quotas, by counties, for the month of May. 1942.
Total War Bond quota for the State is $18,594,S00.
Every income earner in the State is expected to step-
up War Bond purchases on a basis of ten per cent or
more of income. This Is necessary to help America’s
armed forces take the offensive against (he Axis
powers. The American voluntary method of War Bond
purchases most be successful in reaching the quotas
set by the Treasury Department for every county in
the nation. The job of every American now is io
stop spending and save dollars to help win the War.
