' A A Letter To Chplly Dear Cholly: Havin’ a bit after attmdlng a lunshun *1, some thought I - wouJdTr you and let you know, that i on earth and that things io mnJ?' out swell after A wee blf p, ^ ment.last week.- ‘ - In addition giving ig hours a rvlce to seeking nlaf*.. f ^ service to seeking places for young wlvei of cadets to live w ivl the lads, study the rudiments of fl ing, keeping an interesting recreatJ. al program under way. writing edl. torlals for Camden's fine nawspa'^ watching out for'news coverage f^’ the weekly as well .as the metropolj. r- r. You and ^oqr family have given up many things to bring the dj^ of a victorious peace nearer. 'Driving your car whenever an4 wherever you Hke; meat a half doaen times a week; all the butter, sugar an<f coffee you want; shopping just because you've the money to buy, spn^- thin^ new. ‘ ■.— ^^ It hsisn't leemed euy to adjust yourself to these sacrifices. But as each pew nc^ej^ to do without has lurisen, it's just been a matter of min utes until y6ur”n|jp^i^,|J|ULpped'to the realization that what makes it seem difficult to give ai^^pMibhtime convenimcea is the fpct that w^~1it''1iome have been ao unscathed so far.

Have we any right to consi^r the little we are giving up aacrifice? How about our boya at Pearl Harbor, Manila, Guadal canal, North Africa—your own son, perhaps, or cousin or, nephew. They've experienced true sacrifice; many the supreme sacrifice of death! ' . . ^ To them it's all in the line of duty—the only way to win. And that miut be our attitude; that must determine us to really making some ssu:rifice that counts—in dollars that will make the war a month,.week, ^ oiLjaxeBLone dfky_.d^^«ir I Dollarg that will buy War Bonds. Of course you've bought several already; but you ciui't buy enough! This'month every retail .store in town has enlisted* to sell every one in this city another War Bond-—of $100 or more. Docs that sound like m lot ? Will the $75 or n^e it will cost yop call for satfifice? Well, why not? That sacrifice won't cost yoiijrour life' the sacrifices of war cost fighting men's lives.. But that^Motfjce may make the war enough shorter to sand^hotiwilidl^ some boy yrniilo^—and millions more like him, loved by millions more psuronts, relatives, friends. - Let's not forget—the more bonds and sweat, the less blood and tears! And the sooner the war^ ■* . * * • is won, the sooner our heroes will be able to enjoy with us,’^ the benefits of hard'^won freedom which l^y now'fight to secure. tan prqes and attending ut BtricUy -ConceniHl with ^he Chamber of Commerce—well—it has beec busy time. ^ ' I dropped In on my good friend Dr Maurice .Clarke-the other evening and he sort Of had me stumped for awhile when he said that he considered “it t.
