Library Club Now
Playing Softball
The Boys' Library Club di-
vided into two teams Wednes-
day afternoon and clashed in
a very exiting softball game
in the Slater ball park. The
club has been playing softball
each wednesday afternoon for
several weeks, but this game
was such a thriller that it de-
serves special mention.

Ansel McMakin, Jr. and
Jesse White served as captains
of the two teams and chose
players for each side. Five ex-
citing innings were played, and
the final score tallied up to be
11 to 9, in favor of the team
selected by McMakin. In the
first inning, Jesse White thrust
his team out in front with a
four run lead. However, his
team made several errors in the
second inning, and the oppos-
ing team pulled up to capture
the lead, which it held through-
out the remainder of the game.

The line-up for the two
teams was as follows:

Buying War Bonds
(Con't from page 1, col. 2)
exactly what you are doing
when you purchase a war
bond. Just as surley as you are
reading this article, you are
saving the lives of our boys
when you put your money into
a war bond. For without your m
oney G. I. Joe would run
short of the ammunition need-

[article contines to bottom of column 2]
ed to fight his way out of a hot
spot and he wouldn't have the
best tanks, guns, and planes in
the world to back him up.

Uncle Sam shouldn't have to
go out and campaign to raise
money to win the war. To our
way of thinking, every man
and woman who glories in the
name "American" should be
asking Uncle Sammy for the
privilege of investing their
money in American freedom.
This is your war, too. The sold-
iers, sailors, and Marines who
are giving their lives daily are
doing it for you. If they
weren't out there fighting our
battles, our own back yards
would have been cluttered up
with the enemy, and we'd have
gladly given everything we
own to be rid of them. So, if
you're inclined to think that
you've done your share, give
a thought to what would hap-
pen if our forces weren't as
well equipped as the enemy.
It's an unpleasant subject for
thought, isn't it? Now will you
buy that bond?

This Seventh War Loan
Drive may decide the turn of
this war. Let's not leave any-
thing to chance. Let's put
every cent we can raise into
war bonds. In what other
country will they pay you in-
terest in money used for your
own personal protection?

and coundeling in family
situations.

Claims work is increasing as
the war progresses and casualt-
ies mount. Mrs. Scott will be
glad to help the veteran place
his claim and secure copies of
neccecary documents. If he
needs hospital care, assistance
will be given him in obtaining
hospitilization through the
Veterans' Administration. If f
inancial assistance should be
neccecary pending action on his
claim, the Red Cross will offer
financial assistance to provide
for basic needs during that
temporary period. The U. S.
Government gives the veteran
his permanent care; the Red
Cross helps him through the
emergency.

Anyone having questions or
problems other than examples
losted will be welcomed by Mrs.
Scott and assisted in anyway
possible.

be hindered by any letup in
the concentrated efforts of mili-

super-fortress air fleets are to

against our remaining enemy
- the Jap.

Recently the Japs lost 100
planes in a week in three consec-
utive weeks due to attacks by
B-29's in support of the Oki-
nawa operation. At the rate of
one strike every 36 hours, Maj.

fields on Kyushu and Shikoku
Islands and in addition to air-
craft wrecked, have seriously

nawa against the entrance to
Singapore harbor and adjacent
waters and on Jap shipping in

LINES FROM
THE LIBRARY

1- Our late president,
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
once said, "people die, but
books never die. No man and
no force can take that from the
world the books that embody
man's eternal fight against ty-
ranny."

2- Picked up from "Better
Homes and Gardens," May 1945:
The article to which we re-
fer is entitled "Malaria Com-
ing Home? Will you get it?"
and is written by Franklin M.
Reck. According to this author,
a person who has had malaria
is likley to have it again. Thus,
the soldier who has malaria
overseas, may suffer another
attack after he comes home.
Oiling, dusting, draining,
screening, and the use of mos-
quito repellents are recom-
mended as preventitive measures.
Believe it or not, even your
goldfish can help in the fight.
When placed in garden pools,
the goldfish eat the mosquito
wigglers.

3- A noted radio commen-
tator has said: "Great minds
discuss ideas; mediocre minds
discuss things; small minds dis-
cuss people." Which do you
discuss?

4. - The "skirt and blouse
look" is rather important in
the wold of fashions. Jumper
dresses over blouses, pinafores,
dressmaker suits with tailored
short jackets are all very good.
The youthful bolero is just as
popular, and quite flattering to
many people. The latest word
in neckline fashio is a low
neckline, either round or "V"
with no collar. If you think you
you must have a collar, make
a very tiny one.

5. - Do our candles drip
when you light them? Try
chilling them in the refrigera-
tor several hours before light-
ing.

6.- Men, are you planning
to build a pool in your yard or
garden for the summer? If so,
read the suggestions in "Popu-
lar Mechanics, "May 1945.

matching determination and
unity of effort that will shorten
the time during which such
sacrifices must continue.

Today every worker should
rededicate himself and herself
to the task of providing these
men with the weapons and
equipment they need to smash
the remaining enemy. To delap
now in celebration of pas suc-
cess would be fatal to carefully
laid plans. We cannot - and
must not - pause in discharge
of our duty so long as a Jap re-
mains a threat to the life of a
single soldier or sailor.

Let each of us get on with
our job.
