THE RED CROSS The American Red Cross is the largest mercy organization in the world and is worthy of our greatest sacrifice in support of it. It is al- I ways where mercy is needed when it is needed. We have but one thing to remember that will command our utmost farthing in supiport of it, I namely: suppose it is my son, my brother, my husband whose body is mangled and the death pangs are raging through his body, and he cries for help and medical attention. Then the Red Cross is not good en ough and can’t help enough. It will be good enough and can help enough if we enable it to do so by our gifts. We are at war! War changes things. War will change the size of our gifts just as it changes our tax re turns. This is our war to win, and our Red Cross to espouse. Our workers are working hard and we want to heln them, and make it as easy as possible for them to raise our county quota. We will do our part. Send in your liberal contribu tion. And Red Cross workers will re ceive it and forward it to our local treasurer. Our county quota is $4,- 600 , but not larger than out hearts, and not beyond our ability to meet. Let’s do this job as quickly as pos sible. Fifteen percent of this quota will, remain in our county chapter. Looking *em Over BY LONNIE FRANKLIN RECENT MOYINGS Mr. and Mrs. O. F.

Defense Bonds and Stamps, on sale at your bank or post office, are a vital part of America'b defense preparations. iLouis To Win Joe Louis takes on Buddy Bear this week; the defense program will get the money. Bear will get the licking and Joe will still be looking like a champ while the boxing powers will brush up Billy Conn and look for a big gate this summer. Buddy did stay awhile with the champ, even knocked him down, but that happened about the time they all were saying Joe was a hasbeen. Now he has dusted off everything but the referee and talking about going to the army, undefeated. Since their first fight Louis has had only Billy Conn to as much as comb his hair. So far as real ability was shown the white hope would not be champion if he had kept his head that night, but that’s the trouble, when Joe Louis hits them they usu ally hear the birds sing and Billy got hit just as millions were getting ready to collect, a nd Buddy Bear is no Billy Conn by any fighting yard stick. That second fight jinx has caught all of them and if Buddy hears the bell for the 7th round he will fool about everyone, himself included, I when the colored boy gives him the Louis works about the 6th round. It’s good that Americans are slick ers, this time, it will give the defense program some dough to use in giving the Japs a headache this summer when an old fellow called UNCLE SAM, the real White Hope of the WORLD begins to show his yellow challengers that he can take it, but get up off the floor and come back fighting. Yes’m we take Joe Louis before the seventh and it isn’t near as hard to pick as our taking OREGON over DUKE. The War and Athletics Much is being said of the effect of the war on athletics, but there is no room to get alarmed. There will be more money and peopl«. who once did not go to games for some relaxation and pleasure. Then people won’t have cars to travel due to the need of fighting equipment so they will have to find more pleasure at home. In England, even picture shows show an increase. The government will stress athlet. ics because that trams boys to look out for themselves, gives them confi. dence and keeps their bodies in phy sical shape. There may be some trouble getting high class professional talent due to the emregency but the rank a no file of the athletic game will find big ger crowds on hand and make more money. We Will Back Them Remember Pearl Harbor! There the yellow Japs forced a war on us while they hollered for peace. Then Manila, and open city with abso lutely no military protection was bombed. It’ may seem to some that we are a long time getting started. Well, in every race except war when you jump the gun you start all over i again and when we start there’ll be | no jumping the gun. When the UNITED STATES begins to move j the world will see a team take the I field that wil make all champs here tofore look like pikers. There are war materials to be made, men to train and get into bat. tie position, air, land and naval arm ament, and most of all there must be supply lines to see that the men have plenty of everything and to spare. That lesson has been learned from the collapse of the war forces run by one Hitler and his gang in Russia, and we will not be caught napping. | But we can’t expect the men at the front to do it all. Back home our work is just as important; in ; fact the boys are wholly dependent on the folks back home—we are the ones they are fighting for. Money must be had and every I citizen in the country is in effect so , much of it that what we lack in. sup- i port will be that much aid to the! enemy. There are defense bonds and Stamps, that money enables the gov ernment to pay for war materials and equipment, and unless we help the UNITED cause they will be weakened just that much. There is the RED CROSS and other agencies. They need money to take care of the wounded a nd furnish \ recreation for the men who will be fighting for YOU. Don’t pay attention to every gos- siper who can tell you that the ene my has done this or tiiati Have faith in your own country and be lieve only official news. PEARL HARBOR and MANILA are the best reasons you could have for believing in your government in stead of the propaganda handed out by axis murderers. PEARL HARBOR and MANILA will be avenged; every man, woman and child who suffered from those cowardly attacks will be the battle crv of an inspired ALLIED ARMY. The axis may think they are catch ing hell now but the day will come when. they will see hell cave in with them and their kind. We had the ALAMO, we had the MAINE, we had the HINDENBURG LINE, and now we have PEARL HARBOR. What are we going to do about it? I’ll tell you: we are going to rid this earth of every vestige of Hitlerism! Mr. and Mr*. Oalli* Cook hav* moved to 916 Glenn street tram Mole lohan. Mr. and Mr*.
