Likely not, Possibly you have never even seen such a ship. But out sailors are see- ing them. Seeing both friend : and foe. When the foe is sighted that is the signal for "Action Stations." Do Our sailors hesitate? Are they indif- ferent? Do they leave the job for some one else? You know they don't. In a smatter of minutes, even seconds, guns are belching flames, These boys need. guns. The "Act- ion Stations" is sounding throughout our community. Have you heard it? Are you doing your bit? We are asked to raise enough mon- ey each month through the purchase of War Savings Certificates to buy a naval gun. That amounts to over $2,400 per month. A campaign will be started on Otcober 20th to further the sales of War Savings Certifi- cates. Why wait for the campaign? If you are buying certificates now please try to increase your purehas- es. If you are not buying certificates, by all means, Bail at the Post Ofifce or at your Bank and ar- range to snake regular purhases of War Savings Certificates. :WAR SAVINGS COMMITTEE V Joint Service Held Rev.
