Friday, January 21^ 1944 la the Ariaed Foro^ BACK THE ATTACK i :i '4 ft The Fourth War Loan is part and parcel of the prepara tions for the all-out smash at Germany and Japan. The slogan, “Let’s all Back the Attack," conveys the note of urgency to everyone of us to do our utmost to make certain that we do not have another Dunkerque or Dieppe on our hands. If yw have anyone near the battlefront—and who has not—you will want to sacrifice to the point of hurt to buy extra war bonds. This is the kind of a war you as an Individual can't brush off. You’re in it to the hilt. Not since the very beginning of the Republic have the ringing words of the Founding Fathers we pledge our lives and our fortunes”—resounded so clearly and so truly. Because if we lose, .we lose all—not only as a nation .but as individuals. f In the big assault, in which men from this community— men from your very home and your neighbors’ homes—will be braving every terror a Hitler can hurl against them—you have a job to do. You can’t afford to take the chance that you will not be needed. Every man and woman and even our children must deny themselves comforts and luxuries to put the money into extra war bonds ii\ order to achieve in some measure the sacrifices which their sons, brothers, fathers, husbands and friends will make in the next few months, per haps weeks. The fateful days are here. In the years to come you will look back at the early months of 1944 and recall what you did to help save yourself, your family and your country. Every home which displays the 'Treasury Department’s 4th War Loan, red, white and blue shield with its proud message, “We’ve Bought Extra Bonds," is adding its weight to the attack. In doing your duty in the forthcoming invasion to crush our enemies, you are first being loyal to your country. How ever, you must not lose sight of the fact that “buying bonds” and keeping them is actually saving money. Bonds are sav ings. They are real social security, real old age insurance. They are\he safest and best investment for the average man, against a rainy day. Where else can you find an opportunity for small invest ment today, such as in E Bonds, that guarantees a 33 1-3 per cent increase in 10 years? Thus, from a standpoint of sound reasoning, every per son should put every dollar they have into War Bonds, for the good of the country and for the good of the individual citizen. Let’s all back the attack and put Camden and Kershaw Coun ty over the top.

FORGETTING THE WAR Recently we read a communication appearing in a paper that cornea to our desk, the complaint voiced a verbal tirade against the practice of combining appeals to buy war bonds, pictures of the American flag, and the playing of the national ailtb-^JgJj*g|QTe_bajlgam cage conteita and in theaters. The. writer expressed the belief that he should be allowed to forget the waf for one day at least each week. That’s just too bad my friend. We wish we could help you, you poor war-weary fellow. We wish we could arrange a short nJjoum for him in New Guinea where men have been forgetting the war for 20 months or more. It is easy for a man to forget down there. In fact, in the heat it is hard to remember anythifig. The malaria mosquito, and the typhus ^ick that lurks oh every hand, scorpions, flying foxes, wild boars, poisonous snakes, 20 foot p^hons, crocidiles, shark- infested waters, myriad insects, seas of mud, miles of choking dust, torrential rains, here are all the glorious pleasures wag ing to. make him forget. ^ At.the end of a day which should obliterate all thoughts , of war he nriay then attend a theatre without fear that an appeal to buy war bonds will remind him that a war is on. He can climb happily into a G. I. truck and careen down a rough road to an air-conditioned theatre^ right out under the moon and stars and often Jthe rains. Tnei'e amid the creep ing, crawling things in his well-worn and soiled clothes he ■s. \ • can bask in a coniplete oblivion of_all wars. ^ But aras. Iliere'Ts one fatal flawln fhis piclUTe- ft wor ries us. A bomb might some time land too close at'Kand, thus Temindtng'OTie again of ^war. And agAin, he intghtriftamtsllg upon some rough wooden crosses—reminding him of other war-weary boys who were never allowed to forget for one single minute that their country was at war until they passeH forever into the land of complete forgetting. STRIKES If millions of German steel makers and railroad em ployees had declared a strike and threatened to tie up trans portation and steel making in the Reich during a critical stage of the war, the newspapers of the United States would have spread this news over Page 1 as proof that German morale had collapsed and Germany was near defeat Every patriotic American, including members of the labor unions, knows that when the United States faced a similar strike tie-up Ger man propagandists would use it as proof that Anfericans were tired of war and that Germany is going to win. All the noisy protests by American labor leaders who called these strikes are not going to change the opinion of American^ outside the unions in regard to their action. The shame of it is that only one of our war leaders had the courage to tell the truth about it. It doesn’t matter whether the truth teller was Gen. Mar shall or somebody else.
