WHY PEOPLE BUY BONDS

You hear different arguments why people should bur war bonds

Some are moved consciously or unconsciously by selfish interest War bonds are a good investment They are a safe investment They return nearly three per cent interest andmiddot constitute therefore the safest and best savings nest-egg anyone can build up

With some a mere mention of the word duty is sufshyficient General Robert E Lee noted that duty was the sublimest word in the English language Such a man is driven by a sense of duty without regard to personal or selfish interest Show him where duty lies and that is all thats necessary

Others are actuated by a sense of loyalty and perhaps this is the most numerous class Loyalty to the nation loyalty to loved ones in the service loyalty to ideals

By whatever motive moved Americans always have come through handsomely in supporting the war by purchase of bonds It hasnt been necessary to use strong-armed tactics that nearly always backfires The part played by sheer ballyhoo-the tactics of the sideshow and the circus-is questionable

But mostly the success of the war bond drives is a tribute to the good sense the loyalty and the sense of duty of the great masses of the American people Because of that loyalty and good sense the success of the Mighty Seventh drive at the USNATB and wit_h all Naval personnel is assured The Navy is not expected to fight the war and finance it too but earns its Well Done with bond purchases just the same

BLOOD and GUTS There is a little Church out

there where I was baptized and confirmed God has been good to me and Id like to go there to give thanks to Him These are the words General George S Patton Jr spoke to reporters after his

8 He was look-Boston on June reception i n ing forward to a ten-day leave and a chance to visi~ his parish Church in Los Angeles

After reading middot those words of

a fighting Genshyeral - who is

known as Blood and Guts - it is rather amusing to listen to the barracks moron who laughs and scoffs at the idea of God of reshyligion or at a shipmate who has guts to say some prayers each day It usually happens that those who ridicule religion are the very ones who lack blood and guts when the real showdown comes

There are a good many brave men wholl never get a decoration for their special kind of bravery Theres the fellow whos brave enough and has guts to say No when he knows that No is the only answer to give to the shipmate whose only idea of fun is going out and getshyting boiled when he asks him to go along and develop his dark brown taste his- tomorrows headshyache his sickening hangover to the slick gambler who has been c llecting the money of less practiced associates when he proshyposes a game that he cannot afshyford to join to the indecent girl who throws herself at him and and who would make him unworthy of the girl he hopes someday to make his wife and the mother of his chilshydren

Theres the fellow who has blood and guts to do what he knows he ought to do and what would make his mother and his future wife mighty happy to say his prayers without shame and without ostentation even though the barracks bully laughs to act in time of war as a Christian gentleman is expected to act in times of peace War he knows does not repeal the Ten Commandments

Theres the fellow who has the courage to admit he is sure of a lot of important things

- that there is a God and His

law which must be respected that men and women were meant for important responsibilishyties and not merely for careless good times that what he does now in days o~ war will have a profound effect on what he will do later in time of peace

Yes we all admire the man who is brave in battle But we all have to take our hats off to the man who is brave among his fellows in the barracks We all admire the courage it takes to keep ones ideals high and ones principles firm all the year round especially in the service That is the true courage It doesnt require any particular courage to use filthy language - get drunk or act inshydecently - but it does require blood and guts to live up to our Christian ideals in the face of opshyposition

Base Alumnus in Far Pacific Writes For Poems

By Service Gels Them The truth of the saying the

pen is mightier than the sword may be hard to justify in these wartime days but at least one warrior - an alumnus of the Amshyphibious Base here - has not forshygotten the influence of the pen

Although participating in the adventures of a war - which would outrival most of Robert W Services poems of Alaskan advenshyture - S2c Walter Shea aboard an LST in the South Pacific is still impressed by The Shooting of Dan McGrew and Songs of a Sourdough to which he was inshyitiated when he chanced acro~s a volume of Services poems in the USNATB library while in trainshying here

Shea unable to find a copy of Services works either in his ships library or at his advanced base wrote back to Mrs Emily C Norwick Base Librarian to see if he might purchase a copy Mrs N orwick discussed the request with the Field Directors ofiice of

American instructors were all Russian interpreters - the same men who aided at the Crimean Conference

After boaidino the cruiser in a British port one officer and one enlisted man were assivned to a department which they studied thoroughly Officer-enlisted men teams worked in the Construction and Repair Supply Communicashytions Engine Room Gunnery and Navigation sections

Upon arrival at Murmansk shyafter a voyage which included conshytact with U-boats -_ the Milwaushykee moYed into the dock under her own power She was the first U S warship to enter that port during this war

For five weeks the ships various compartments were classrooms Russian officers and men bomshybarded the U S Navy men with questions They wanted to know the purpose of every lever bolt and valve Sometimes the quiz lasted until late hours of the night On two occasions the Russhysian pupils pressed a red button on the ships bridge The Milwaushykee crewmen were sent scurrying to their battle stations The Soshyviets out of curiosity had pressed the General Quarters alarm butshyton

When indoctrination was comshypleted the ship went out on a shakedown cruise and later it was turned over with ceremonies to her Soviet skipper

WHY PEOPLE BUY BONDS

You hear different arguments why people should bur war bonds

Some are moved consciously or unconsciously by selfish interest War bonds are a good investment They are a safe investment They return nearly three per cent interest andmiddot constitute therefore the safest and best savings nest-egg anyone can build up

With some a mere mention of the word duty is sufshyficient General Robert E Lee noted that duty was the sublimest word in the English language Such a man is driven by a sense of duty without regard to personal or selfish interest Show him where duty lies and that is all thats necessary

Others are actuated by a sense of loyalty and perhaps this is the most numerous class Loyalty to the nation loyalty to loved ones in the service loyalty to ideals

By whatever motive moved Americans always have come through handsomely in supporting the war by purchase of bonds It hasnt been necessary to use strong-armed tactics that nearly always backfires The part played by sheer ballyhoo-the tactics of the sideshow and the circus-is questionable

But mostly the success of the war bond drives is a tribute to the good sense the loyalty and the sense of duty of the great masses of the American people Because of that loyalty and good sense the success of the Mighty Seventh drive at the USNATB and wit_h all Naval personnel is assured The Navy is not expected to fight the war and finance it too but earns its Well Done with bond purchases just the same

BLOOD and GUTS There is a little Church out

there where I was baptized and confirmed God has been good to me and Id like to go there to give thanks to Him These are the words General George S Patton Jr spoke to reporters after his

8 He was look-Boston on June reception i n ing forward to a ten-day leave and a chance to visi~ his parish Church in Los Angeles

After reading middot those words of

a fighting Genshyeral - who is

known as Blood and Guts - it is rather amusing to listen to the barracks moron who laughs and scoffs at the idea of God of reshyligion or at a shipmate who has guts to say some prayers each day It usually happens that those who ridicule religion are the very ones who lack blood and guts when the real showdown comes

There are a good many brave men wholl never get a decoration for their special kind of bravery Theres the fellow whos brave enough and has guts to say No when he knows that No is the only answer to give to the shipmate whose only idea of fun is going out and getshyting boiled when he asks him to go along and develop his dark brown taste his- tomorrows headshyache his sickening hangover to the slick gambler who has been c llecting the money of less practiced associates when he proshyposes a game that he cannot afshyford to join to the indecent girl who throws herself at him and and who would make him unworthy of the girl he hopes someday to make his wife and the mother of his chilshydren

Theres the fellow who has blood and guts to do what he knows he ought to do and what would make his mother and his future wife mighty happy to say his prayers without shame and without ostentation even though the barracks bully laughs to act in time of war as a Christian gentleman is expected to act in times of peace War he knows does not repeal the Ten Commandments

Theres the fellow who has the courage to admit he is sure of a lot of important things

- that there is a God and His

law which must be respected that men and women were meant for important responsibilishyties and not merely for careless good times that what he does now in days o~ war will have a profound effect on what he will do later in time of peace

Yes we all admire the man who is brave in battle But we all have to take our hats off to the man who is brave among his fellows in the barracks We all admire the courage it takes to keep ones ideals high and ones principles firm all the year round especially in the service That is the true courage It doesnt require any particular courage to use filthy language - get drunk or act inshydecently - but it does require blood and guts to live up to our Christian ideals in the face of opshyposition
