4th. War Loan Drive
Continues With Much'
To Be .Accomplished
Bartlett has done well in the
IFourfch War Loan Drive yet
there is more tk be done. The
quota of $7200000 is not yet
.complete.
Make no mistake reaching
out1 local goal in the 4th War
Loan is the some as winning a
bafctle over the Germans or Japs.
Nat making our local quota is
like losing a battle like quitting
in the midst of' action. Our boys
L didn't count the cost when they
irtook Tarawa. We can't count
the cost in winnine our battle.
LTho only difference is that ab
Tarawa their very lives were at
'stake. Andithey gave them for
usV We are not asked to give
our Jives. 'We are not even nsk-
!ed to give our dollars. We are
lasked to -lend them at good in
terest.
It is not sufficient to say "I
raVe bought a bond." But) we
should "be able to say "I have
Ibougbt all I possibly can buy."
PWe cannot we must not f nil our
lighting men now. Making our
Ruota in the 4th War Loan is
rte ""battle only we can win.
