Last night at the Firmaige Theater another of our famous Bond Auctions was held, and in line with previous similar ventures it proved highly successful. There was a capacity house, and all inmates had to be bond purchasers in order to get in. The bidding was very spirited, and the receipts for the night ran a little more than $14,000. While this was not quite enough to put Beaver City over the top in the Sixth War Loan drive, it was a wonderful help, and with pledges already made, and such sales as can reasonably be expected there will be no question about Beaver reaching and passing its allotment, just as it has done in all tbe previous drives. Anyway, if we go considerably over our quota, there is no danger of the armed forces being overwhelmed with the additional supplies and weapons.

(We will condition them.) We are asking also for sheet music new and old; popular or classical; hymns; or any type that is available.

Commanding General Offers Condolence to Bereaved Mother Headquarters Army Air Forces, Office of the Commanding Gen eral, Washington, D. C Nov. 20. My Dear Mrs. Barton: It is with keenest regret that I have learned of the untimely death of your son, Second Lieutenant Phillip Jackson Barton, which oc curred October 18, 1944,, in an airplane accident at De Rldder Air Base, Louisiana. The record of service which Lt Barton had with this organization has been brought to my attention, and I find that he was an enthuscadet who iastic , made an excellent academic average at Williame Field, where he graduated. As an officer he continued to prove himself worthy of confidence and accomplished as signed tasks with thoroughness. A genial personality and upright character made him well liked by his comrades, who share In your bereavement. I hope you will be solaced by the thought that your son unselfishly gave his best in answer to the call of duty. I offer my deep sympathy to you and other members of the family. Very sincerely, II.
