Vernonia Eagle Thursday, August 5, 1945 WAKE UP, VERNONIA! k&pP*** k^* OUR ENEMIES are treacherous and crafty. They like to strike in the dark, to stab in the back. Who ever dreamed the Japs would attack Pearl Harbor? Yet Pearl Harbor WAS bombed—devastatingly! Singpore was “im pregnable.” Yet Singapore fell. Hong Kong is in the hands of the enemy, as are Guam, Wake, the Philippines, Java. . . . The Jap is willing to make great sacrifices to launch a success ful sneak raid on this area, with its enormous concentration of military targets. YES, EVEN VERNONIA WOULD BE WORTH THE JAPS’ WHILE! If he DOES try it— as many ranking mili tary authorities honestly believe it is not only possible but prob ably—he will find a warm welcome awaiting him . . . largely due to the efficient, patriotic, unselfish service of thousands of volunteer observers, tellers, plotters and others in the aircraft warning service, an activity of the U. S. army. Sign Up As A Home Front Be An Observer On the Local Guardian Post Phone 774? or See M. A. Oakrs.
