Familiar Friend
Ends Useful Career %
Death ended Thursday, January
20, the useful' and public spirited
life of a character familiar to the
many people of Dallas County when
it took the life of the Reverend W,
H. Wynn, lovingly termed Brother
Tobe Wynn by his old-time admirers
and friends. The Rev. Wynn held de-
grees from Baylor University and had
served as pastor of the Forest Ave-
new Baptist Church for 25 years,
until his health caused him to retire
last May. His leabership has been
acknowledged in religious and po-
litical circles in the county for many
years. Friendship was the secret to
his large following. When old friends
planned a homecoming or needed a
comforting minister they thought
of Tobe Wynn. He was a true-friend.
Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and
Mrs. V. L. Lumley were Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Summers and family, Mrs.
Docia Copeland, Leary Little, Dali
and Mrs. J. P. Edgar, just back

for a visit with relatives and friends
in Commerce.

diately following the morning ser-
vice, the Church Board will convene

proposed in order to facilitate ex-
meet ! pansion of the Sunday School and

The Fourth War Loan is on! Every farmer,
every-rancher in America is called to the great'
est offensive yet . . . the buying of more War
Bonds than he has ever bought before.
There are lots of other places we could be
putting our money, sure! And there are lots
of other places our boys could be than in fox-
holes and slit trenches. But none of those other
things we’d rather be buying or doing amount
to anything right now. The boys are doing
their job. We’ve got ours to do to take every
cent we can scrape together and buy War
Bonds with it!
And what a lot of sense it makes, after all.
War Bonds are the safest and best financial
reserve ever offered us. We will have buildings
to repair, machinery to replace, and improve-
ments to buy later on. Where’s the money
coming from if not from today’s earnings?
And where’s the money coming from for that
long vacation, for the children’s education, for
the hew car?
Take a look at the types of War Bond in-
vestments that are offered. Pick the type that
fits your particular needs. And then write out
the biggest check you can and order Bonds
