Heppner Gazette Times, June 29, 1944 5 VISITS LONDON Kpv Ferguson recently made a trip to London after supplies and writes his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Ferguson that the British capital is very much like our cities except it i- much o'der. One thing this yorrg soldkr observed about Eng land k quit- '-rtinent. He said the wenthc- is consistent it rains reg-u:ei-,v. His latsst letter was dated Jur.:: 13, which indicated that his cut.it had not yet been orderel moved up to the front. the 'town and of Mendenhall gla cier but haven't had them devel oped yet so don't know how they turned out. Will show them to you some day as I can't very well mail them. After I wrote I visited Peters burg, Wrangell and Ketchikan. The first two are interesting little fishing towns that just "exist and let exist." Very few Indians in them however. Ketchikan compares with Juneau and I . believe has nicer buildings, both residence and bus iness. I spent 12 hours there. One thing about these towns, they cost a casual so much to live. Souve nirs and curios are other things that are expensive. They have built the price on ivory .carvings and leather goods by the Indians to such tn extent that they are cut- mg their own throats. Most of the merchants admit it because their stuff isn't selling. (Clair would like to hear from some of his old friends. His address may be obtained by writing to his parents route 1, Hermiston.)

Dated 11 June, 1944, he says in part: Dar Mother and Dad: I am afraid I missed a letter or so to you while I was gone. I got back here Thursday and have been busy since. I wish I could visit with you for awhile and tell you all about the country I saw. I enjoyed the trip, immensely. Yes, it was an inspection trip but I had time to do quite a bit of sightseeing. I be lieve that. I wrcte you about Ju neau wa there seven days so got fairly well rcquainled with the place. I think ilt would be the best place to live of any of the towns we saw.

D M B dMV r.lVli LEE -MUTUAL LOWELL THOMAS NEWS TIME An Appeal to the Citizens of Morrow County Not one of us can minimize the seriousness of the two-front war which our boys are having to fight. This war was not brought about by the misbehavior of our boys or their desire to destroy life and property. Our boys have no choice. They gave up their jobs, their pleasant home surroundings to fight for our existence as a free nation. Many of our patriotic citizens have purchased bonds, some very liberally, to en able our government to carry this war. We are told that the majority of the citizens of Morow county have not yet purchased a single bond in this drive. This is disappointing and disheartening to the people responsible for the success of the drive, and more so to many patriotic citizens who have bought until it hurts. We know that Morrow county people arc patriotic and have just as much pride in our boys as anyone in the whole United States. Therefore, the reason must be lack of interest, delay in carrying out your good intentions, or failure to realize your part in this mammoth fund raising effort. The Fifth War Loan drive will officially end July 8. We urge every citizen who has not already purchased to the full extent of his ability to consider these facts: More than $100,000 in bonds has to be purchased before Morrow county can re port that it has filled its quota. Those who do not have the funds available to purchase at this time can borrow at your local bank to purchase certain bonds, and have 9 months in which to repay the Scan. The interest rate v:!S be the seme as the bonds pay. Tax bonds which can be used to pay your Federal income tax during the next three years will count on the county quota. You are not asked to give. You are asked.only to loan your money. $75.00 invest ed now will pay you $100 in 10 years, and the cost of your bond will buy from 25 to 50 more of certain goods in five to 10 years from now. Idle funds will not win the war. If you buy now, you will save the necessity of someone calling on you. The solicit or's time is just as dear as yours.
