FIFTH WAR LOAN
POSTER “DORADO”
The Fifth War Loan poster
“Fire Away,” shows a scene
aboard the U. S. Submarine
"Dorado.” One of the seamen
is using its blinker signal light
in a message directed to a
pa sing ship. The artist, the
celebrated American painter,
Georges Schreiber, has caught
the action during the very
tense moment before the pass¬
ing craft is identified as friend
or foe. If the wrong reply is
given, the Submarine crew
wall spring to instant action.
The painting is authentic in
every detail for the artist was
actually aboard the Subma¬
rine at sea. He ate and slept
with the crew. He worked with
the men and stood watch with
the officers. A short time after
leaving the Submarine, it was
lost in action with all hands.
This poster, which is part of
the Abbott Collection of War
Paintings, has been given by
the sponsor to the Government
for inclusion in the historical
record of this war.

WAR BONDS
•AXIS DAYS ARE NUMBERED!”
LITTLE PEOPLE, ALONG
THE EDGE OF TOWN
(By Margaret W. Jackson) !
In all the War Loan drives,!
we have had some wonderful
workers in Hilltown, as in
other towns, and they have
worked hard and long hours
and thought nothing of them¬
selves if they might only sell
Bonds for the big drive.
But of all the workers, the
one who gave me most pleas¬
ure was Beryl. She’s a woman,
some forty-odd, a widow with
one son, and she’s not anything
wonderful to look at. You
have to know Beryl to appre¬
ciate her. But in a town like
Hilltown everyone does know
her, so she is appreciated.
She used to work for me,
at house cleaning and other
times and I have a great af¬
fection for her. She is a thor¬
ough and painstaking woman.
She hasn t had a lot of school¬
ing but she has a good mind
and always knows what she
is talking about. And she has
the standards of a truly great
lady. She is selfless, patient,
modest and upright. She re¬
spects herself and others.
Beryl works all day every
day at hard job. But after
work she was one of the vol¬
unteers who went out and sold
bonds. I went with her a few
evenings, and the rest of the
time she went alone. She was
given what was considered the
barest part of town, the fringes
and edges of the west end.
where the houses are very
small and the incomes smaller
still. But in those fringes Beryl
sold $2,500.00 worth of Bonds,
all small denomination and she
won one of the prizes the com¬
mittee had set up.
How did she do it? Certain¬
ly not by salesmanship. She is
instinctively given to under¬
statement. But she went into
every house. She sat down.
She went into the problem of
how this household could buy
a Bond as a serious problem
of the war effort.
Almost every one of those
little houses has a service flag
in the window. And inside there
is always a shining gold pil¬
low cover with the flag and
anchor of the navy or the flag
and eagle of the army on it,
placed prominently, and near¬
by a picture of the lad, or lads,
in their country’s service.
There is so much love and
pride—but even in good times
not much money.
Beryl was thoughtful, and
she knew their problems. They
were her own. But she would
ask, “Have you got a stamp
book or two?” Often they had
—a dime book never filled, a
book with quarter stamps
grandma gave one of the chil¬
dren. These books were put on
the table and their value
counted. Well, with those and
so much money, a small bond
could be bought. Really? Yes,
you need so much. Now, how
much money have you got?
They would dig around and
consult, and get Dad in from
the back garden and all put
out what they had, in small
bills, in coins. Now, they had
only to find so much more—
maybe only four or five dol¬
lars more by now. Beryl knew
where the fourteen year old
could earn a dollar, where the
high school girl could get
seventy-five cents for staying
with some child. She helped
them. They put the stamp
books and the coins all in a
box and she went away and
came back again and there it
was, $18.75!
“The boy buys a bond every
month,” they told her. “But
we know we’re supposed to
buy an extra one!” Their
pride, their pleasure in them¬
selves and their Bond, their
patriotism were- pure as crys¬
tal, bright as the stone for
which their salesman was
named.
THE EMPTY CHAIR
(By Ben Ames Williams)
There are a hundred and
thirty million people in the
United States; say thirty mil¬
lion homes.
In those homes there are to¬
day 10 million empty chairs.
Maybe its his chair at the din¬
ner table, kept there so you
can imagine he is sitting in it.
Maybe it’s his chair by the
fireplace in the living room,
the one where he used to sit
in the evening.
Some of those chairs will al¬
ways be empty; but most of
them will one day be filled
again.
Yet even when we’re sure
of that, pretty sure of that, the
sight of those empty chairs
leaves in us a greater empti¬
ness, loneliness that is hard to
take.
And for most of us there is
nothing tangible and import¬
ant which we can do about it,
no obvious way in which we
can help the boy who once sat
in that empty chair to finish!
his job so he can come home
and sit in it again. Most of us
would feel a lot better, we
wouldn’t feel quite so lone¬
some, we wouldn’t miss him
quite so much, if we could find
ways to help him do the job
which only he can do.
Of course there are some
little ways to help. I
Refusing to buy from black
markets help some.
Saving gas and tires helps
some.
Salvaging paper and grease
and metals helps some.
Just living our lives, trying
to keep things as nearly nor¬
mal as possible, writing him
letters ,sending him snapshots,
leaving out of our letters every
word that would worry him—
all that helps a little.
Buying War Bonds helps.
A lot of other things help a
little; they help him a little.
But they help us a lot. They
help fill that empty loneliness.
They help us a lot now.
Some day they'll help us a
lot more than they do now.
Because some day, for most
of us the boy who went away
will come back and sit again
in that empty chair. At first
he’ll do most of the talking,
telling us as much as he can
tell us, answering our ques¬
^
tions.
But after a while it will be
turn to ask questions. He’ll
do it, too. Here’s one of the
first questions he’s going to
“Well, what have you all
doing while I was away?
That’s when the little things
e can do today are going to
us most; that day when
comes home and starts ask¬
questions; that day when
Fifth War Loan
Part of Second
Front Invasion
(By Lowell Thomas)
I think we should all regard
the Fifth War Loan drive as
a part of the Second Front in¬
vasion. Over there American
soldiers have the military task
to be done with steel and ex¬
plosive, bitter combat and un¬
flinching heroism. Over here
we are confronted with the
financial phase, which is a
necesary part of the critical
and perilous effort for final
victory.
It has been pointed out all
along that the dollars of the
civilian collaborate with the
bullets of the soldier. This now
becomes true in the most point¬
ed and dramatic way. When
we buy bonds in the Fifth War
Loan Drive we are actively
taking part in the Second
Front invasion. That stupend¬
ous effort of war and valor is
many times as great as the
blows we have struck in the
past. The sacrifice of our
troops must be many times as
great, and so must our pur¬
chase of bonds. What is re¬
quired of us is the least that
can be asked—that we buy
twice as much.
If we buy bonds to the ut¬
most of our means, we are
good citizens backing the best
of soldiers. If we fail, we are
unworthy citizens, letting
down the bravest of the brave.
War Bonds Has
Money Beat
There are many things peo¬
ple do not realize about War
Bonds. For example, the ques¬
tion is often asked—“What is
the difference between money
and War Bonds?”
The answer—Upon demand
your government will pay you,
today, or ten years from tjfilay,
$75 in legal tender for $75 in
dollar bills. This guarantee is
printed on all paper money.
And, also, upon demand, after
ten years, the same govern¬
ment will pay you $100 for an
E War Savings Bond that cost
you only $75. This guarantee
is printed on all E War Sav¬
ings Bonds.
War Bonds earn you inter¬
est—money does not. Beyond
that there is no real difference,
because the guarantor (your
government) is the same in
both cases. Put your money to
work earning interest for you
today. Invest in War Bonds
during the Fifth War Loan.
Remember, nearly everything
you buy today is inflated or
expensive, except War Bonds.
Everything bought today may
depreciate in value, except
War Bonds.
MY PLEDGE
(By Stephen Vincent Benet)
(Pulitzer Prize Winner)
I pledge myself as an Am¬
erican to work for victory.
I do so voluntarily, in faith
and loyalty because I believe
in my country.
I believe in its freedom and
its greatness, in the liberties I
share with all Americans, in
the way of life we, the people
have made with our own laws
and with our own hands.
I mean to preserve those lib¬
erties and that way of life,
with my own hands, here and
now. I mean to secure them
for the future by investing to
the full in War Bonds and in
Stamps.
The task I am called upon
to do may be small or large—
I mean to see that it gets done.
It may mean hard work and
sacrifice—I mean to see that
it gets done.
As an American citizen. I
take my place beside the arm¬
ed forces of the nation, to ^
my utmost for the country I
love—to maintain its cause
against all enemies and every
danger.
And to this task I pledge my
whole strength and my whole
heart.
Now, as never before, your
country looks to you to do
your patriotic duty. For this
is the showdown. And what’s
your part in this bitter strug¬
gle? Right now, it’s to get be¬
hind the 5th War Loan and
invest in War Bonds.
