Army brings Lt Emmett Tally home for birth of son
The U S Army flew Lt Emmett Tally from Fort Benning Georgia to Lake County to be with his wife for the birth of their son. He arrived at Eustis airport at 3 30 pm and went to Holland hospital Leesburg where a 7%4 pound boy was born at 10 pm. Grandparents Mrs Lucile K Miller and Lucille Tally praised the event and urged the baby to become a captain rather than a lieutenant like his father in the 16th Division aerial observation corps at Lawson Field Fort Benning.

First Defense Bond Bought By German Officer in Tavares
Joseph O. Kroff of Ta was the first defense bond purchaser through the Bank of Tavares. A former German Army officer, he served with the Pennsylvania National Guard on the Mexican border in 1916 17 and later became a naturalized citizen of the United States. Retired Cumberland Presbyterian minister, multilingual, and early Scoutmaster, he emphasized loyalty to America and pride in adopting country. His family in Germany spurned him for patriotism. The bond sale marked a notable act of American patriotism by an immigrant resident.
