BOMBER PLANE llI haven't heard just how manybonds were sold at the auction last f, Friday night, but roughly speaking 'it was far over fifty thousand, however in this issue you should see ,u the exact amount. Remember all this amount goes on our bomber, I y Queen of Star Valley.” Don’t you ' „' think it is all pretty swell for a little valley like ours to have two planes in the air protecting our gallant boys. Again I am asking for nfl a little help from Star Valley people j who are outside the valley. jYou just got to hand’ it to Alf Toland for the manner he conducted I this special drive, outside of him being excited with enthusiasm, he did splendidly, and he showed his patriotism. The commitees behind j jhim worked like beavers. Our boys *will never forget your efforts.To the good people who donated i 'J1 the costly prizes, which induced the heavy buying, I think goes the great credit. The program was perfect, from the first to the last. The decorations were superb, about the most unique yet. The band thrilledeveryone. The welcome addresswas very appropriate, along with the song God Bless America. Bear Clingers talk was really a patrioticspeech that actually got deep into j the corners: it all made a perfect j night and perfect bond drive.I have several letters from serviceenStHlt;tifthprtes17hijtekrestadilt;sifercostiAtdano inmen which I will get parts of to you i pin later issues.gracWe know that this war is just getting tough, and that equipment will win for us. Remember the!1*enemy has just as many men in the j frticfoletorfield as we have, super equipment will win, and win alone, therefore don’t slacken, yes, we can’t slacken i for one second we must support them and plenty, if we care to win, and we must win. Just stop one second and think of our fighter plane, and our bomber coming up, representing Star Valley, then ask 1 yourself, if a part of them represents you or just your neighbor. It’s just like this folks,' before this is over every name on the black list will be made public, and it will put them in the unpatriotic catagory where they belong, it’s quiet now, but take a tip from ‘one who knows, this program will show up the nonsupporters and label them with yellow stripes. Buy now while there’s yet time to march along with theafmStofbedeei1deininbothhereal ones. Oh, you can’t fool the Hgovernment and no alibis will go.feI got a kick out of a check for around four hundred dollars sent in by Jerry Jasperson, just a little la kid who has been out jockeying in 5 Canada. The note with it said ‘‘buy P: bonds for our bomber, dad.” If a tiny slip of a kid can save up for bonds and spend every dime of it, why—oh, there’s no use asking further, because if you want to be 1 th put on the rotten row and exposed ol to our boys and the public, just sit gc tight with your money and smile j th when unnecessary blood out of our gallant boys pour out on the battle fronts, maybe these same boys willreretotoloiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiuiHiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiitioiiii
