And there's a day coming when every mother's son of us will want to stand up and yell, to cheer ourselves hoarse over the greatest victory in history. But let's not start the cheering yet. In fact, let's not start it at all-over here. Let's leave it to the fellows who are doing the job the only fellows who will know when- it's done to begin the celebrating. Our leaders have told us over and over again that " the smashing of the Axis will be a slow job, a danger ous job, a bloody job. And they've told us what our own common sense confirms: that if we at home start throwing our hats in the air and easing up before the job's completely done, it will be slower, more dangerous, bloodier. Right now, it's still up to us to buy Wr- onds and to keep on buying War Bonds. iefs do that. Let's keep bearing down till we get the news of final victory from the only place such news can come; the battle-line. If we do that, well have the right to join the cheer ing when the time comes. my y Published In Cooperation With the Sixth War Loan Drive And The Jackson County Campaign Committee By The CALIFORNIA OREGON FO cm
