FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF HERMISTON Let’s All Back The Attack! The Fourth War Loan is part and parcel of the preparations for the all-out smash at Germany and Japan. The slogan, “Let’s all Back the Attack,” con veys the note of urgency to everyone of us to do our utmost to make certain that we do not have another Dunkerque or Dieppe on our hands. If you have anyone near the battlefront—and who has not—you will want to sacrifice to the point of hurt to buy ex tra war bonds. This is the kind of a war you as an individual can’t brush off. You’re in it to the hilt. Not since the very beginning of the Republic have the ringing words of the Founding Fathers—“we pledge our lives and our fortunes”—resounded so clearly and so truly. Be cause if we lose, we lose all—not only as a nation but as individuals. In the big assult, in which men from this communi ty—men from your very home and your neighbors’ homes—will be braving every terror a Hitler can hurl against them—you have a job to do. You can’t afford to take the chance that you will not be need ed. Every man and woman and even our children must deny themselves comforts and luxuries to put the money into extra war bonds in order to achieve in some measure the sacrifices which their sons, bro thers, fathers, husbands and friends will make in the next few months, perhaps weeks. The fateful days are here. In the years to come you will look back at the early months of 1944 and recall what you did to help save yourself, your family and your country. Every home which displays the Treasury Depart ment’s 4th War Loan, red, white and blue shield with its proud message, “We've Bought Extra Bonds,” is adding its weight to the attack. In doing your duty in the forthcoming invasion to crush our enemies, you are first being loyal to your country. However, you must not lose sight of the fact that “buying bonds” and keeping them is actual ly saving money. Bonds are savings. They are real social security, real old age insurance. They are the safest and best investment for the average man, against a rainy day. Where else can you find an opportunity for small investment today, such as in E Bonds, that guaran tees a thirty-three and one-third per cent increase in 10 years? Thus, from a standpoint of sound reasoning, every person should put every dollar they have into War Bonds, for the good of the country and for the good of the individual citizen. Let’s all back the attack. Hermiston Transfer Co. adjudication of their just claims, gov ernment aid in buying homes or farms, placement in jobs, to mention the principal needs. This is the least we can do for the men and women who are fighting this war for us. They are entitled to that consideration. The American Legion submitted such a master plan to Congress, Jan uary 10. It was an omnibus bill with in the scope of which the Legion em braced all needed provisions for the welfare of World War II veterans. It was not any hastily-drafted legisla tion. It was written by a committee of nationally-known experts on re habilitation, appointed by National Commander Warren H. Atherton in pursuance of a resolution adopted by the 1943 national convention at Oma ha. Into this measure was incorpor ated the studied wisdom of the 25 years of experience which The Amer ican Legion has accumulated in deal ing with veterans' rehabilitation. It represents the best thought in Amer ica on this subject. The American Le gion has lived with this problem since 1919. This legislation might well be hailed as a legislative “G. I. Bill of Rights.” It would give the Veterans Adminis tration master control of all govern ment services to veterans, unify these whose allowances ceased on the day government functions, simplify pro of discharge must wait weeks, and cedure, eliminate red tape, centralize sometimes months, for their compen responsibility, and assure both the sation allotments to which they are veterans and the taxpayers a square entitled.
