Columbus Man Dies
Shortly After Bying
II. S. War Bonds
Columbus, Oct. 1—Paul Herschel
Youngblood, 40, prominent Colum
bus citizen, manager of the S. and
S. Cafeteria and president of the
Columbus Restaurant association,
died suddenly in a Columbus hos
pital yesterday of a heart attack.
Mr. Youngblood had lived in
Columbus for the past seven years,
coming here to open the S. & S
Cafeteria. He was born in Cordele,
June 20. 1903.
Prior to moving to Columbus he
bad operated restaurants in Ma
con and Albany. He was married
in January, 1939, to Miss Quentir.e
Slaughter of Columbus.
Mr. Youngblood was a 32nd de
gree Mason, a member of A1 Sihah
Temple, Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, of Macon, and a member
of the Elks Lodge.
Instrumental in its foundation,
be was the first president of the
Columbus Restaurant association.
It was because of this connec
tion that yesterday Mr. Youngblood
purchased $10,000 worth of bonds
and had his picture made by the
Ledger-Enquirer. Jack Key, co-
chairman of the third war loan
drive of Muscogee county, and
Mark Mote Jr., of the M. & M. Bank
sold Mr. Youngblood the bonds
which were credited to the S. and
S. Cafeteria.
Mr. Key stated that Mr. Young
blood had said he. wanted this
picture and a story of the pur
chase published '"in The hope that
it,|*jould be helpful in getting other
restaurants to 'follftw suit.” 1 ,
After the picture and the war
bofld I sale : had been! made, Mr.
Youngblood arrived at the Ledger
Enquirer offices to be interviewed.
He then returned to his place of
business where he was reported to
have said he didn't feel very well
and was going home to rest. His
condition became serious and ho
was taken to a hospital.
One soldier, upon hearing of the
tragedy, said, “I know I not only
speak for myself but for everyone
who patronized Mr. Youngblood's
cafeteria. I feel that each customer
would like to express great sym
pathy for the death of a man who
did everything he could to cater to
the needs of army personnel—the
line alone proves that.”
Besides his widow, Mr. Young
blood is survived by his parents
Mr .and Mrs. E. L. Youngblood, ol
Cordele; two brothers, Jim Young
blood of Thomasville and Cecil
Youngblood of Los Angeles; two
sisters, Mrs. S. S. Huntley and Mrs
C. L. Hunt of Los Angeles.
If you love and serve men, you
cannot, by hiding or stratagem,
escape the remuneration.—Emer-

Our President Says—
“A Share in the National War Fund
Is a Share in Winning the War”
—FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
Give Once For All of These
Seventeen national war relief agencies have been combined into one cam
paign, into the National War Fund. You give to this unified Fund and you
have given to seventeen agencies. You give once, for all these!
The National War Fund is officially endorsed by the President. It has
the backing of the Government as an improvement over the old confusing
way of raising money. It permits you to budget your wartime giving more
easily. It makes sense.
(1) THE USO—United Service Organizations,
which you know so well. Working night and day
for “Our Boys”, at home and overseas.
(2) Relief to China, Russia, Greece, Belgium
and other United Nations. •
(3) Refugees, including thousands of orphaned
children from China, Poland, England and other
countries.
(4) Your local Community Chest or other
character building and welfare agencies — rf
included in your iocal campaign. t
