Official Paper for Morrow County
Investment in Liberty
A PPEAL to the people of Oregon
to purchase defense savings
stamps and bonds without employ
ing coercion is commendable on the
part of the state defense savings
council. There should be ready re
sponse by everyone without the ne
cessity of holding the threat of un
patriotic action over their heads
when an understanding is had of
the purpose of the securities, their
adaptability to savings and their
yield in comparison with other
types of investments.
State Defense Savings Chairman
Palmer Hoyt has said that the sale
in Oregon will be conducted by
making the stamps and bonds ac
cessible "at every cash register" and
by informing the people of the facts.
That is good merchandising.
There should be considerable ex
tra money in Morrow county this
fall that may well be put into de
fense savings bonds. Thus employ
ing these funds will build up a
reserve against the day when in
dividual fortunes will be reversed,
as they may well be expected at
the close of present emergency
spending. That is the biggest angle
from the individual view. Probably
more important, however, is the
fact that such investment will make
additional funds available to the fed
eral government at a time when
the funds are sorely needed, hasten
ing the whole defense program for
it is money that makes the mare go
In this respect individual benefit
will be realized, too, in the lowered
necessity for increasing the tax
burden.
The war clouds are far from be
ing cleared overseas. In spite of
Russian claims that the Nazis have
been severely hurt, there must be
the realization that the Nazis are
still gaining their objectives. They
have not been stopped.
The very fact that a dictator can
order the mass bloodshed so far
-witnessed is plenty of cause for
Americans to invest now in defense.
jSuch investment is an investment
in liberty, the American way, and
another barrier thrown in the way
of expanding totalitarianism, which,
if you prefer, is nothing more nor
less than international gangsterism.

MEREDITH DEATH TOLD
The recent death of Troy Mere
dith by burning near Redding, Cal.,
was told in newspaper clippings re
ceived this morning by John Wight
man, for whom Meredith worked for
several years. Meredith, employed
on the Pit river bridge, was alone
in a tenthouse at Mountain Gate,
presumably lying in bed reading by
the light of a kerosene lamp when
he fell asleep and the bed caught on
fire, Saturday morning, 2:35 a. m.,
July 12. When neighbors discovered
the fire and responded, the entire
building and contents were beyond
saving and Meredith was found some
50 or 60 feet from the inferno. He
was rushed to Redding by ambu
lance where he was found to have
burns all over his body, and he died
the next morning. Funeral services
were held Saturday, July 19 from
Home Undertaking Co. at Redding
with interment in Redding cemetery.
He is survived by the father, George
Meredith of Fries, Va.
