HOSPITAL LOAD INCREASES
The war has produced any number of facts that have to
be faced in the.yeais to come. 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. Remember, the world’s best buy
of the world’s best investments—War ^nds.
