BUY WAR BONDS REMEMBER this touching picture of a little girl's farewell to her war-bound daddy? Appearing shortly after Pearl Harbor, it touched the hearts of millions of Americans and helped to launch the greatest voluntary savings program in all history. That girl is three years older today. In that time, our enemies have been pushed steadily back toward their own frontiers... thanks in no small measure to the overwhelming flood of tanks, ships, planes and guns that more than 85 million Americans have poured into the fight through their purchases of War Bonds. But her daddy is still at war—the fight goes on—the money you've put into Bonds is still needed, just as it was after Pearl Harbor. KEPT IN THE FIGHT—KEPT IN WAR BONDS—IT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR VIC- TORY—and FOR YOU. For just as that little girl has g the War Bonds you bought three $100 Bond you paid $75 for th worth more than you paid—and h time has passed! In another year it will be worth $80—at maturity, $100. Here’s money you’ll need later—for education, repairs, replacements, reretirement—just as your country needs it today. So let this picture remind you—HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR BONDS! KEEP FAITH WITH OUR FIGHTERS—Buy War Bonds AMERICAN HEROES by JULIAN OLLENDORFF Lieut. John A. Sabini, U. S. Marine Corps, of Washington, D. C., would not ask his men to do anything he would do himself. To locate Nips on Bougainville, he deliberately ex-posed himself to draw their fire. His men knocked out the enemy, bounded in the chest and left leg, Lieut. Sabini received the Silver Medal for gallantry. Buy War Bonds to train more men to terminate the Japs. U.S. Treasury Department While the SS William T. Coleman was moored on an ammunition vessel, enemy planes set the latter afire. Radio operator, James C. Huett, volunteered to sever the lines that he ship as bursting bombs and blazing gasoline endangered the Colonel Quickly he completed the hazardous operation for which he awarded the Merchant Marine Distinguished Service Medal. The ship moved off to a safe distance; the ammunition ship sank. Bond purchases pay for ships so badly needed to carry on this mission. Thursday, January 25, 1945 Army Mail Service Explained In Army Postal Bulletin There is much speculation from time to time concerning postal service to and from members of the armed forces and following is an excerpt from the Army Postal bulletin regarding this: "The point is made that mail service from overseas to the United States is better than the service in the opposite direction, and question is raised why something is not done to bring the outbound service up to equal standard. Explanation must be made in each case that mail from abroad is moving to a definite, fixed address, easily found, while mail to personnel overseas is frequently delayed due to the necessity of directory service and forwarding to find organizations and individuals in a constantly changing situation. SYSTEM EXPLAINED "The reason mail dispatched at regular intervals is not received at the same intervals is not generally understood. Oversea transportation facilities are not controlling factors in this respect. If convoys sail, for example, every two weeks to a particular destination, daily letters would accumulate and move 14 at a time, less of course those for which air transportation might be available." "The reason mail is not always received in the sequence in which written is the subject of many questions. To explain this it must be pointed out that there is not, as a rule, sufficient aircraft space available to transport overseas by air all air mail, much less letter mail both air and or- But Her Daddy’s Still in the Fight, and the War Bonds You bought Back in the Days of Pearl Harbor are Still Needed in the Fight, Too – for Victory! FOR YOU. At little girl has grown, so have you bought three years ago. The paid $75 for then is already paid—and how swiftly the In an- worth, $100. I'll need on, re-ents, re-ts your today. Your WAR BOND is the best investment in the world - keep it War Bonds For Keeps The reason mail is not always received in the sequence in which written is the subject of many questions. To explain this it must be pointed out that there is not, as a rule, sufficient aircraft space available to transport overseas by air all air mail, much less letter mail both air and ordinary. As a result, an excess grows up of letters for which there is not space on planes. The oldest are shipped first until the time arrives when a fast surface vessel is about to make the journey. Then sufficient letters are placed aboard the surface vessel to clear the backlog. Naturally, air dispatches immediately following such surface shipments result in more recent letters arriving before older ones. This also explains why letters bearing air mail postage are at times so long enroute. MORE SPACE "Space on home-bound planes is not always in such demand as space on planes destined for overseas. This is because there is not the same urgency for the movement of strategic cargo in the homeward direction. Where space is available on such planes for additional quantities of mail and microfilming would result in delaying V-mail by the time required for that process, V-mail is dispatched to the United States in original form. "Requests from the public for permission to mail to military personnel abroad articles which are too large or too heavy to come within existing regulations are continually received in the War Department, some supported by the written approval of unit commanders overseas. Approval of unit commanders of exceptions to these requirements cannot be accepted at post offices in the United States and should not be given consideration." ISU NOTES Members of Italian Service Units are former prisoners of war who have volunteered for work in the American war effort. Italian prisoners hostile to the Allies are held in prison camps. AMERICAN HEROES by JULIAN OLLENDORFF Although he realized that an enemy submarine was close at hand and his U.S. destroyer would leave him in the event of attack, Fireman, First Class, David Jack Stephenson, U.S.C.G.R., of Clendenin, Va., went over the side to rescue three men in a small raft. He swam to the raft and fastened lines around the survivors. Stephenson was cited for his heroic performance. The ropes, raft and destroyer were paid for out of War Bond funds.
