One of ^se, and the most humane, is the monthly hoe[ntal patient load. Our wounded veterans are being lodged in hospitals in greater numbers each day. The increase is more than 1,000 a month! Take any little, town of 1,000 souls. There's the cracker barrel grocer, old Doc. Crocker, the veterinary and Parson Brown. Life has been sweet, conservative, if not too rich in worldly things. In an instant the whole town is shot up. Citizens lie in the streets. Great wounds pour out life blood. They’re hospitalized. Imagine this every month, more and bigger towns each month, over and beyond the usual wound ed. Remember, this is an INCREASE, this l,000r a month. And imagine what it would cost, how many $25 War Bonds would be needed to see every last one of them re turned to normal. Quite a task, just to imagine it. Even Banker Jones might throw up his hands in dismay rather than figure that one out. It is but one reason why the Mighty Seventh War Loan is seeking nearly as mudi as was sought in the first two drives of last year. That is why we are asked to subscribe to a seven billion individual quota, the largest yet. As time goes on our wounded will increase even more. We must pur chase more and bigger bonds to help them back to normal And to refit them,for life. They are the men from the small towns, the towns of 1,000. They are the cracker barrel grocers, veterinaries and Parson Browns. They are the people who make up the rest of us. They are US! Dig deeper in the 7th.
