INVEST IN PEACE . . .
There is today, an appeal to each and every
citizen to buy more War Bonds than ever before!
The boy in the "fox hole" on Saipan, pr in
New Guinea, or in Burma, or, perhaps, in the (
cockpit of our aerial artillery, the fighters and
bombers of the air; or, perhaps, he is one of the
members of a tank crewr, or of some amphibious
craft—yet, no matter where he is, he seeks from
all of us back home the assurance he is being
backed up with the materials he needs to save
his life and to protect ours.
A tank crew, without gasoline, oil or ammuni
tion, is helpless in battle. Only bonds can pur
chase the needed supplies in a democratic coun
try.
In order to keep that country free and demo
cratic, more bonds must be purchased. The final
push is on, and that boy at the front is fighting
his way back home.
There is nothing we can do to equal the price
he is paying for our security.
The buying of War Bonds is a privilege, no’ a
penalty. Only free men and women can buy
such bonds.
Peoples of other nations, who are under some
form of subjugating government, must pay exor
bitant taxes, which will never be returned.
For the future of world civilization, there is
no greater cause than to lend our money for that
nation’s security.
Remember your boy at the front! A s’retcher
may be needed to carry him back from the front
lines. A trtick may be needed to carry food and
equipment to him in some wrecked village. No
matter where he is, he needs much more than we
! can ever imagine.
On this day—the anniversary of the signing
of the Declaration of Independence, our day of
freedom—we can and must pledge our fullest co
peration in placing every cent we can possibly
>are of our earnings, from our business, and
from our savings! Let our government have the
use of our money temporarily, and while it is do
% its share to end the war, we are receiving
• rc*-'t on our invesmtent.
I" other words—Buy War Bonds *o Invest in
t o (doa of this bond drive is to impress the
ct that unless a person buys to the very limit of
honestly say that he’s done
his part to bring the boys home sooner.
POWER TO PRESERVE PEACE
The British Prime Ministers, including
Churchill, King, Curtin, Fraser and Smuts, affirm
the need, after the war, of a world organization
to maintain peace and security, with the neces
sary power and authority to prevent aggression
and violence.
Thus the weight of the far-flung British Em
pire is thrown behind some organization, presum
ably a collection of nations willing to assume re
sponsibilities commensurate with power and be
able, if necessary, to prevent and punish future j
! aggressions against innocent and helpless peoples.
The British leaders also declare that their
f peoples “seek no advantage” for themselves “at the
cost of others.” They pronounce a desire to pro
mote the welfare and social advancement of all
j na’ ions so that they may help each other to better
' the days to come.
These general declaraions are encouraging and |
they are about all that anyone can expect at this
! t me. They will not suit the critics who expect ,
conclusive answers, with positive proof of the suc
cessful conclusion, about every problem that con
j erns civilized men.—(Anchorage Times!.

and member of the Reserve Offi- ,
cers’ Corps. In 1941 he entered
the services of the armed forces
and has been on active duty with
[ the military since that time.
A product of engineering
schools, General Jones has in
corporated his military training
with varied sports so common to
men of his type. Among other
capactiies, he ac'ed as drill-master
of the Huntsville, Ala., Command
ery No. 7, National Guard, and
for 10 years, the team he drilled
won recognition over other teams
of the entire sou'h, in exhibition
drills and in drill competition.
La'er, in rifle matches at Camp
Perry, Ohio, his team corraled
honors of the day in many of
the exhibition “shoots” on the
program.
General Jones’ first introduction
1 to the Territory of Alaska came
when he received the appointment j
to come to Cold Bay, to assume
command of that post. After a
short stay at that base, he was
re-appointed to the command of
Nome Garrison, and has been the
executive officer of the local post,
since.
Touted as pool player extra
ordinary, the general has no re- j
, treats when it comes to wielding
the well-known cue stick. His av-1
erage of wins, since he has en-,
joyed the game at the local gar-1
rison, far exceeds his losses. His I
training in this regard came
through his association with the j
local Y. M. C. A. at Huntsville. I
A product of the South, thej
genial general still maintains his:
home in Huntsville, where his wife!
and two daughters reside at the!
present time. The former ranks
high as a concert pianist; the lat-1
ter two, musicians in their own
right. Nancy, aged 15, is an ac-1
complished pianist, while Bar
bara, aged 11, enjoys composing j
music, and has done exceedingly
well in this line of endeavor.
The commandant’s father inter
ested him in engineering. He,
with his two brothers, Col. Carl
T., and Lt. Col. Walter B„ form
ed a partnership in Huntville,
along with his father, which has
proved a highly successful ven
ture.
Lt. Col. Walter B. Jones, prior
to his entrance to active duty in
the armed forces, was also state
geologist for Alabama, and held
] this capacity for many years.
General Jones is a member of
the Huntsville Rotarian Club and
' for years, was active in civic af
j fairs in that southern city.
In his capacity as commandant
1 of the local garrison, he advocates
projects commensurate with the
morale of the members of the ser
vices under him. Theaters, clubs,
games, which give opportunity
for the display of skill among the
servicemen, and other sports, are
included in his up-to-date method
of routine.
Summing up his service in
Nome, General Jones emphasizes
the full measure of accord he has
received here. It is his intention
to have his f.nnilv visit Alaska
at the lerminal'on of the pres
ent conflict, and feels su^e they
will be as appreciative of the ter
rain and of the people, as he has
been during his stay here.
Though, far apart from his
homeland, General Jones invar
iably revels in thoughts of his
return to Alabama. And, invar
iably, with such thoughts comes
the yearn to once again see his
kennels . . . Oh, yes . . .the Gen
eral is a dog-fancier of no mean
measure. His kennels rank high
among his varied hobbies.
. . . May we salute such a gen
tleman ... a Southern gentle
man . . . product of the famed
deep romantic South?
