Thera are no
Clothes Dryers in Korea!
Hastily strung telephone wires serve the additional purpose
of supporting this American soldier’s rudely washed clothes
as they "freeze dry” on a snowy Korean hillside. It all looks
like a rugged life, doesn’t it? And soldiering is.
But it’s something that some of us have to do to keep America
militarily strong and safe. It’s true, we don’t all have to serve
in uniform. But there is something important every one ->f us
can do. That’s to help keep our country economically secure—
by investing in United States Defense Bonds. For by Bonds
and other forms of saving, we are building up not only our
own personal security, but the security and the strong economy
of America. And we all know, now, that peace is only for the strong.
Why don’t you join the millions who invest in Bonds regularly
through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work? It’s one
sure way to save—because it saves something out of every
check before you have a chance to spend it.
So join the Payroll Savings Plan today where you work. Or
invest through the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. Help
your country and yourself to a secure future—by saving your
money through Bonds.
