ARE YOU 100% AMERICAN?

Did you know that the 12th Sub-Depot in
Blytheville, Ark. has a 100% WAR BOND
participation among civilian employees,
while some employees at 35th S/D have
not yet signed up for a bond?

Since the days of the Pilgrims
settlement on Plymouth Rock, this
country has been called the Land of the
Free, and the home of the Brave. Man
and women have lived, fought, and sacri-
ficed every earthly possession in the
time of war to protect a Democratic
Peoples ideals.

Today finds us fighting another
perilous war against Economic and Poli-
tical struggles for the security of our
heritage. Millions of patriotic citizens
are helping to destroy the Axis through
their tireless efforts in war producation
plants which is the second line of
defense. These are the people who are
fighting for the symbolic colors of our
nation - Red (for courage), White (for
purity), and Blue (for loyalty); the
three principles on which America was
founded. We are reminded of this fact
as long as our Flag flows through
freedoms breezes.

After a brief recollection to remind
us what we are fighting for, is your
country worth 10% of your salary to you
and your protection? If so, show it to
the Axis by signing up at least 10%
today for WAR BONDS. This is the
individuals war and we are not a united
nation until every citizen has done all
of his part. Remember - manpower cannot
win the war alone and unless we, who
call ourselves Americans, pledge our
part in the Bonds we are on the side of
the Axis. Let's be the second Sub-Depot
to be 100% AMERICAN. "IT CAN HAPPEN
HERE," so fellows and girls who are
not 100% WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE? (Excuses
don't win wars)

Now, are YOU 100% AMERICAN?

RECLAMATIOM

Reclamation, frequently referred to as
Ghoul Downings Vulture Department, is
now in the throes of a "Ghost Scandal"
as thrilling as any from the dark
ages. This ghost can't even be hurt
by real bullets from a guards rifle.
For further particulars, pin a dollar
bill to two Ivory Soap wrappers and
send to Mr. Downing.

Miss Helen R. Kind of Personnel
office was off on sick leave
for a while. They "Flu" bug nipped her
slightly but she is now back on deck
again.

Nev. Miller is off to Penna for a few
days. He naturally had to call at
Personnel Office before leaving. Mr.
Compton thought he should have a good
bye kiss - but Miller said his hair
wasn't red enough to warrant a kiss.

When Mrs. Irene Fromowitz asked Miss
Gilchrist of Comptons office how she
liked the electric typewriter, Miss
G replied; "it's just fine but it
spells words wrong sometimes." (Guess
the Training Office will have to send
all our typewriters off to school
for a while until they learn to spell
without the help of the operator.)

Katherine Jones of Personnel was all
smiles the other day when she received
an Air Mail Special from Leon at
Camp Crowder. What were all the X's
on the end of the letter for Jonsie?

Mountain View Homes on Perry Ave., is
fast filling up with Air Base people.
It looks like it is going to be a very
desirable neighborhood.
