Remember What Happened Three Years Ago Today?
mm
It was church time on the west coast and the nation
at large was following the usual Sunday rou-tine when
all at once flashes over the teletypes told of the trea
cherous attack on Pearl Harbor. We were stunned
and at the same time aroused to the realization that
this meant war the greatest war this 'troubled old
sphere has ever seen. The disaster at Pearl Harbor
was but the beginning of a series of appalling losses
of life and material, but we faced the future with
courage and the conviction that our cause was just
and that we soon would turn back this threat to civil
ization. That conviction has been exemplified in the
great victories of our fighting forces which long since
placed the enemy on the defensive and all but wiped
out his sea strength . . . But the end is not yet in sight.

counterpart yells the equivalent to the nazi "kame

men to man them are needed on our far-flung fronts.

MORE BONDS AND DO IT NOW! Morrow County has an opportunity to lead the state in subscribing its
