Show Fourth Bond Drive Gets Underway The Fourth War Loan Dri.fe got underway Tuesday, January 18, after a little delay in getting the necessary materials together with which to do the job. However, despite this fact, the first days' sales netted ?1100.00 toward the goal of $38,600.00, which is the amount of Milford's quota of $129,700.00 set as the quota for Beaver county. Among the reasons for the Fourth War Loan drive and why people bought before and why people will buy again are: 'To help their country to win the war", "To back up their loved ones in service", "To make a safe, sound investment", "To help keep our economy on an even keel", and "To help preserve the American way of life". With reasons like these, which aXe so sacred and dear to nearly everyone in this and tfvery community and with the war reaching into every home and into every town, city and hamlet in the country, we cannot let the boys in the service down by not buying bonds. They are sacrificing hundreds of things and all we are asked to do is go without with-out a few of the luxuries we are so used to and buy a few more bonds instead. This, and this only, will bring the boys back to us that much sooner. All the organizations and auxiliary auxil-iary organizations, as well as the high and grade schools, and the local theatre, have pledged their support to put Milford 'way over the top. Booths will be set up in different dif-ferent places around town, and a thermometer will be located in one of the windows of the J. C. Penney store, with the mercury each day suuwiu tne rise in ,Lne amount oi bonds toward, and over, the top. Also, there will be set up in the business district a large horn and each time a bond is sold a blast on the horn will be another blast at the Axis! , i The most important of all sources of war financing is you! Schten-eighths of all our current swollen national income goes into your pocket. If you hoard this money or spend it, bidding against your neighbors for things you can get along without, you will bring to your home disaster as great as a blockbuster bombing raid. If you do the right thing and that means backing up your boys in the fighting forces you will be helping help-ing to defeat inflation, at the same time helping yourself to better your future prospects. Let's all "Back the Attack" with more war bonds and stamps. Buy them through booths, schools, j banks and postoffices, or from ! individuals who solicit these sales. Buy an extra bond during the Fourth War Loan drive. It will help Milford to reach its quota of j $38,600. |
