HAVE TO!
Glory may be fine .., . bur our young people
coming back from the war need a lot of practical
things for a new start. Your Victory Loan dollars
are needed to provide clothing allowances, grants,
transportation, training for skilled jobs, help in
establishing themselves in business and farming.
Let's show them we're grateful. We dug down
deep into our pockets when we were scared and
desperate .. , so now let's pile up a far bigger
Victory Loan total to give a decent opportunity
in life to those who have shielded us in the
hour of peril. .
We owe them this and more. It's the only way
we can repay in some small measure our great
debt of gratitude.
