PAGE TWELVE MEDFORI) MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1943 (fm b I'M THE GUY who looked at you from a USO poster little over a year go. I'm the guy you forked over $34,000,000 for so that, through the USO, you could let me and all my buddies know that someone home still thought about us still cared enough not to want us to miss out on any of the things we were in uniform fighting for. A hot cup of coffee for example, when you come in all grimy and tuckered out from a little "business" trip . . . A club house with easy chairs to melt into and desks to sit at and writ home and a dance floor and some decent girls to give us out here a little reminder of what it's still like back there. ; .You remember, don't you? You probably dug deep for a lot of other things that year, too . . . for British War Relief, United China Relief, and so on. Well, this year it's going to be simpler for you Because this year, seventeen war relief agencies have banded together into one great big campaign to make it easier for YOU to give, and easier for THEM to distrib ute the funds. They're calling this one big campaign the National War Fund, and ' it includes most of the major war relief agencies. Because it does, THIS time you are only asked to give ONCE for ALL seventeen. And take it from me, as one who ought to know, THAT CONTRI BUTION YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST THINGS YOU CAN DO TO BRING ABOUT VICTORY. Not just because part of it's going to USO to do wonders for the morale ef the fellows under arms, but because a good deal of it is going to help relieve distress at home through local agencies as well as abroad, to help keep our allies in the fight So when you're asked to give to the united campaign of the National War Fund and our community's own war fund this month, remember me. Every dollar you give to the National War Fund help me out in countless ways, and does its bit to bring me home sooner. Added to this is the appeal of the Medford Community Chest, sup port the invaluable work of the Salvation Army, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Jackson County Public Health Association, Girls' Community Club, and Jackson County Recreation Committee. Their record is well known! a81 '1. f ' ' 'yfx a II ltsor:: y v 1 Thk appeal for fiodi to mtet the nwdi of tha Madtord Community and Wat Cheat li published by...
