6 DAILY NEBRASKAN Friday, December 18, 1942 I OH Hct It hasfighting mad! But don't take Mr. Steig's picture ton liter ally. It's merely his way of describing what people around this old town are buying every day with their War Bonds. Do you know that every $18.75 War Bond will buy enough fuel oil for a destroyer to cruise 37 miles in search of Nazi submarines ? Do you know that ever)' $37.50 bond will buy 6 shells for an anti-tank gun? That every $75 bond will buy 40 rounds of anti aircraft fire enough to bring down the biggest Jap bomber that ever threatened an jVmerican warship? Yes, we are sending all these things to our battic fronts every time we buy a War Bond. Has Our Town Gone Mad? But we are doing more than that. For Amer ica is not asking Our Town to give this money even to make sure that our way of life is not blotted out by Fascism! Instead, you are lending this money to your country. You are being paid generous interest. And you can get your money back after the first sixty days," if you need it. In just ten years these bonds will be worth one-third morc-you'll receive $25 for every $18.75 you invest in War Bonds today. And think what this will mean ten years from now! For you personally it will provide a cush.on to ease the shock of family readjustment from war to peace. But more important, this vast fund of savings that you and millions of others have built up will be a bulwark against dreaded inflation. Tt can protect us against the economic ruin that has struck so many people in the past. For all this, your country asks that you lend ten percent of your salary-that everyone, every pay day, put this amount into War Bonds. Can you be counted on to do your part ?
