Mrs. Neff's 10-month-old granddaughter, Barbara Ann, receives War Bond gifts as part of her grandmother's "back the attack" program in honor of Barbara's Marine daddy, a master technical sergeant, the highest rank of an enlisted Marine. Mrs. Neff also has a son, Herman, fireman first class in the Navy. Her last letter from him came from Guadalcanal. In endorsing the Grandmothers League founded by Mrs. Marshall, wife of the General, Mrs. Neff agrees with Mrs. Taggart that "in buying Bonds with our grandchildren as coowners, we have an emergency fund to use if necessary. But we don't expect that. We want the Bonds to be there for the children's education." TEL. WONDER LAKE 418 . DE. 0.1. WATKIWS . . Dentist ' - Office Hours - v Tuesday & Saturdays: 9 a.m. to 5 Mi.
