V Thank Sailors Practically For Extra Tea or Coffee Are you a "tea -granny" or a coffee hound"? Well bet .you are! You probably drink more tea or coffee than any other liquid except perhaps water. The reason we're asking you? You're beginning to cash in on that extra third of a tea or coffee ration aren't you? Quite a few more cups of coffee or tea coning your way these days? You know whose responsible for them? The boys of the Merchant Marine and the sailors of the Royal Can- adian Navy. The merchant seamen get the ships through with the coffee or tea aboard and the boys of the Navy guard those merchant ships. And the sail- ors of all the United Nations have helped to "get them on top" of the submarine threat to make is possible to get more merchant ships through, with your tea and coffee aboard, more often. • Yon don't mind the cost -the extra cost -as long as you get the extra tea or coffee do you? You'll be spending a few extra dollars on those commodities between now and Christ- mas because they are there to buy owing to our merchant seamen and sailors. ' Figure it opt will you? See how much extra you do spend on those two commodities and then give an account, say equal to half or more what you'll spend on them, and de- vote it to filling a ditty bag or buy- ing some books and magazines of help support a Navy League Club (all of these things are asked to help the sailors) in return for the extra tea and coffee they are bringing to you.
