"Jimmy called me a Commando!"
And right you are to be proud, Sonny. Your big brother Jimmy has always
been your Number One hero, even before he went overseas. So his commenda
tion means more to you than a medal.
You don't quite understand the full, grim reality of war, nor why Dad and
Mom don't laugh as much as they used to. You just know that Jimmy is go
ing to lick the enemy, and you want him to do it soon, because life isn't as
much fun with Jimmy gone. You miss those man-to -man talks, those early
morning tussles in pajamas, those after-supper lessons in passing a football. And
to bring Jimmy home sooner, you're backing him up on the home front with
everything you've got Scrap drive champion, honor-roll scout, all-around good
Citizen Soldier you bet you're a Commando, Son, the kind America needs!
a CITIZEN SOLDIER
Let's all back up our fighting men. The need is urgent for blood donors,
nurse's aides and student nurses, Red Cross Motor Corps drivers, victory shift
workers in war plants, volunteers for the Coast Guard Port Security Force
and Civilian Defense, food processing and harvest help, conservation, salvage,
dozens of other activities. 'Choose the ways in which you can help most, and
enlist as a Citizen Soldier. ;, ', . ' : : . i
War Needs Come First
Petroleum products are particularly vital war material. The needs of the armed
forces for fuel and lubricants take precedence over all others. These needs are
still increasing as our attack increases. They will continue to increase. The
products and service left available for civilian needs will be affected but no
more than is absolutely necessary. We know you understand, and will gladly
accept these changes as they come. They're for Victory. , .
Tide Water Associated Oil Company is supplying fuel and lubricants for
the Array, Navy and vital war industries, and 100-octane gasoline for the air
forces in quantities which cannot' be revealed, but of which we are very ,
proud. And our war production is still increasing. t
