U SLEPT WELL THAT NIGHT,
DIDN'T YOU?
.M•
BUT GEORGE WAS AT DIEPPE
NICE fellow, George—one of the lads from the office. Remember,
you had him out for dinner one night. He made a great fuss over
your kids—and your wife was very pleased. And then, all of a sudden,
he slipped away and joined up. Left his good job, his girl and his
future. And he was at Dieppe, slogging up the beach into a murderous
rain of steel—fighting for you and your wife and those kids of
yours he played with. And that same night you slept well, didn't
you ... ha a soft bed. You had an egg for breakfast too. But George
didn't. And you've still got a good job and you wear good clothes.
And being conscientious, you worry about these things a bit. But
you just haven't been able to push yourself into doing much more
than pay your taxes. Well, those taxes aren't enough. Think of
what George gave up, and then sit down with your wife and ask
yourselves, "What else can we do ?" Sure, you've given up a few
little luxlesies. But there are lots of things yet that you can cut down
on. Do it gladly. Because you'll really get a kick out of investing
the money you save in Victory Bonds, and in knowing you're not
letting George do it all.
Just keep thinking about George and what he gave up. And
remember, those Victory Bonds you buy aren't giving—they're
lending your country money to help protect you. That money will
come back to you with interest.
