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. He merely repeated what the rest
of OB thifilL — . '

CAMDEN FACES MILK SHORTAGE,
UNLESS adjustments MADE
(Continued from first page)
“The OPA knows 'and admits the
unfair situation,” be said. “It is not
necessary for the agency to require
all the information asked on applica
tions for adjustment snd no dairyman
can afford the bookkeeping necessary
to have all the anawera that are aaked
in the questionnaire.”
Mr. Guion has sent the following
telegram to the OPA: “I have been
anthorixed by six producers and six
produces distributors to petition the
OPA for immediate permission to In
crease milk prices in this area to such
a point thaj producers who are now
operating at a loss may begin to
make a reasonable profit. If immedi
ate action is not taken the milk snp-
ply will continue te docresee, uaskiBg
a bad situation worse.”
To national and state legislative
representatives he wired: ”I wish to
to advise you that this situation is
serious throughout the South, especi
ally in Charleston, Savannah and
Jacksonville where drastic steps are
rontempiatftd. by.o.producers , unless
they get hnm^iatn relief from OPA.
I would prefer to see the situation
handled legally before these produci-ra
take radical steps to get the relief
which they must have and to which)
they are Justly entitled.”
