OFFENSIVES COST MONEY
Army officers and government officials, in
New Year’s utterances, were very optimistic in
their forecasts relative to the war and they had
a right to be.
Already in this new year the Russians have
crossed the Polish border in their pursuit of the
fleeing Germans, forced back through the terr
itory they have held since 1941.
1'he R.A.F. and American air force are fin
ishing the task of destroying Berlin and are bo
mbing the French coast and other parts of Eur
ope unmercifully. The Italian campaign is the
only dark spot on the allied horizon.
The allies are getting set for a major offen
sive against Japan in the Pacific area, both on
the land and sea.
All of this offensive warfare is costing great
quantities of money and many men and the de
struction is certain to increase.
One of the few ways us folk at home can dir
ectly help the war effort is to buy war bonds to
the greatest extent of our ability. Our opportun
ities for buying bonds will be enhanced this
month with the opening of the fourth war loan
drive. The campaign will open in Nyssa Janu
ary 18 with Henry Hartley in charge and will
continue for a month. Under the leadership of
Joe Dyer of Ontario, county war finance chair
man; Larry Brainard, sales specialist, and Rev.
M. H. Greenlee, Nyssa chairman, Malheur cou
nty and Nyssa arose to the occasion during the
third war loan drive and are expected to reach
their quotas this time.
