A substantial part of this huge financing, the most stupendous ever undertaken by any government in the world's history, must be loaned by people in ordinary walks of life. >. High government _ officials have pointed out that the nation must not fail in this duty to our men on the battle fronts who are now carrying the offensive to the enemy at every stage. It is obvious to every thinking man and woman that as the United Ifations take this offensive against the dictators, the cost of war operations increases in proportion. The American people must no longer think of war costs in terms of equipping a soldier, building a tank or plane or a ship. We must now think in terms of the cost of battles, invasions and new offensives. Attacking armies cost more money than equipping that army and we must meet that increased cost by buying more War Bonds and Second War Loan Securities. They Gi*e Their Lives It is not only necessary that the American people left here at home assume this additional participation in the war effort--it is an honor to do so . . . for we here at home can do no less than attempt to approach the sacrifices of our brave men out on the fighting fronts to whom the last great measure of sacrifice is but • daily offering. They give their lives . . we are asked only to lend our Money. And that is the theme of the Secjpd War Loan, "They Give Their 'live*--You Lend Your Money." Financial experts who know monetary conditions in the nation point out that at the present time there is in liquid fund*, cash and commercial bank deposits over and above taxes and present investment in government bonds, and over and above what can be bought this year because of restrictions and rationing . . . approximately forty billions of dollars which should go into government bonds. It should be the objective of every American to invest these loose dollars, idle dollars, in government securities, not only from a patriotic standpoint, but from the standpoint of their own financial security. TTiere is available during the Second War Loan a type of security to fit every pocketbook. Are Wild Dollars "Every dollar of these forty WHjktois of dollars available, which is not invested in government securities during this War Loan Drive is a "wild" dollar, which, together with its mates, will tend to increase inflation. Uncontrolled inflation might raise the cost of living to a point where the dollar is worthless. It can happen. It happened in Gern\any after the last war when the price of a loaf of bread/cost more than an annual wage. . Invested in government securities, y»ur dollar will work for you. It will bold down inflation bcause it is harnessed in war work; it will help buy food, transportation, munitions for our boys on the front lines and it will be earning interest that, together with your original loan, will come back to you later to help you buy the things you cannot buy today ... to insure your peace of the future. Remember those, boys out there . . . hi Tunisia ... in the South Pacific „ . . They give their lives---You lend your money.

But ef McHenry .M McHesury MESSAfiES FROM MEN IN SERVICE Hello This is a line to thank yon fbr the famous McHenry Plaindealer and to notify you about my change of address. We get quite a kick out of the paper and there are a few other fellows here from nearby towns who ask for it next. Things here are not quite the ... . ... same as tfhe days when I walln ^McHenry, driving a sporty convertible and wearing a big hat. I'm lucky to ride at all now and wear a steel helmet. We are out in the desert now where it's hot fh the daytime and cold at night. We took a trip to Hollywood last weekend but didn't make much of an impression. Our first night in Hollywood we saw the finest collection of green fish, red houses and pink elephants I have ever seen. We even took them back to the hotel with us but the manager wouldn't let us take them up in the elevator because they might take sick. I know when all my old grinds in McHenry read this they will know 1 am doing O. K. I'll trade it all, though, to be back in McHenry with my gangvofxtree skinners and all the local people. Well, this is about all I have to say for this time, so again I thank you for the paper and with best regards to all. W. H. ZERBY, • » Los Angeles, Calif. We Dare Not Let Our Fighting Men Dowrt Mr. Mosher and Friends: I am writing to let you folks know that I have been transferred to a new outfit and wish for you to mail thjt old standby, the Plaindealer. I have been promoted to staff serf* eant on this clay, April 1, of all day*. Maybe it is a joke at that. But on New Year's day of this 1948, I was promoted to sergeant and I am also batallion mess sergeant, only to have more grief and responsibilities. We started a new camp here at Bradenton, Fla., a few weeks ago, out at "Tallant Pa*k," the park where St. Louis players practice during their winter months. We are getting things under control how a litttle better. We at" least have a roof over our heads while cooking now. We have become quite sunburned from being out by the hot stoves all day and every day for the last week. The care We on the home front face one of the most personal challenges of this war to date. That challenge is whether or not we are willing to sacrifice to a sufficient extent to lend our government thirteen billion dollars within the next few weeks. . To do a good job, you and I, and everyone we know, are going to have to dig down in our sock---to dig out some of those dollars we have salted away for a rainy day--as well as to take a good hunk OJlt, of this month's pay cheek, ; ; i • * This is a job that has to be done. Sure, we on the home front are feeling the pinch of war. We have gasoline rationing, food rationing,1 higher taxes and a lot of other little discomforts. But they are nothing compared with the agonies faced daily by our men--men from this community among them--out there on the fighting fronts of th® world. Yes, we know that this constant ifiijk. mand for more -money out of our pockets and out of our paychecks--an increasing amount each month--is monotonous. But so is sitting in a fpx-liole or lying in a slittretich day after day, slogging through the hell of a humid jungty 'Jljjf, that ©f J Sahara sand. Our sons, friends, brotherg, husbands «pd others we know are doing that for us. They are facing something more terrible than cutting down on a few things that we once thought were essentials to the American standard of living in order to do it, too. As Secretary Morgenth&u has said: '/Shall we be more tender with our dollars than with the lives of oar sons." Tlie Second War Loan is an order to the home front to go on a new offensive. Your dollars are the weapons in this attack. They will make possible the passing of the ammunition to those boys up there in the front lines. To win this war is going to cost more and more money-- and more and more lives. But the price of freedom is high. We can not; we dare MfcOt let our fighting men down. You can't let Geoiftfe do this for You must pitch in with your dollars. Just keep in mind those boys in the front lines. They give their lives--you lend your money! Don't wait for someone to come around and ask you to do it. Do it today --and do it until you feel worthy of them. NEWS ABOUT MARSHALL BACON OUR SERVICEMEN CASUALTY IN NO.
