-J
ston —Api'il 26. (Sp) — A
wave of buying swept the 40
Texas counties "of'the Houston Re-
last week as citizens reacted
ngrily to the grim-announce-
ment from President Roosevelt
that Japan had ignored the rules
of warfare and murdered some of
the American heroes 6f the bomb-
ing of Tokio.
"As a result." Regional Mana-
ger, John Churchill, said Monday,
"the sales war finance securi-
ties in the region reached a total
of $93,437,349.(1(1 and our goal of
$106,096,500.00' is now in sight."
•'But in the light of the news
from Tokio, quotas .previously set
no longer constitute any deadline
for the efforts, of volunteer bond
salesmen and the aim now is to
sfee how much each quota can bt
exceeded." Mr. Law and Mr. Mt-
Clung said in their statement.
"Naturally.'' the joint statement
said, "we gre deeply gratified at
the response of the patriotic citi-
zens of this region to the call for
more than $106,000,000.00 as their
share of the! Second War Loan.
Promptly and generously they
have answered our Goverrtment's
plea for aid. As of this date.more
than two - thirds of the original
quota has been subscribed, and
sales arc continuing at a rate that
indicate we will go 'over the top',
as predicted.
"Now, however, within the last
week, wc hnve been made shock-
ingly aware that in Jupan we. are
engaged not with an honorable, if
bitter, enemy, but with a race of
savages. By the cold - blooded
murder of some of our captured
air men they apparently thought
to frighten bur bombers away
from Tokio. They did not know
the temper of the American peo-
ple.
"In the forty counties of the
Houston region, and throughout
the nation, Uto4mmcdiate reaction
has been reflected in an unprece-
dented surge of war bond buying.
Those of us who cannot line up
the sights and pull the trigger our-
selves, on Japan — and her Nazi
ally, who promptly endorsed the
Japanese treachery — want to
provide the financial ammunition
to blast them into the dust of de-
feat,
"Even beforfc the news of the
Tokio horror was released last
week many of the counties of this
region had already exceeded their
original quotas. Even so, they
had not stopped buying war bonds.
Now, we feel sure, there will be
no inclination anywhere to case
up. Now quotas can be forgot-
ten. Now, there ii the'satisfying
knowledge that a portion of every
war bond bought will be used to
avenge the shamelul murder of
thosp boys who were fust — but1
not last! — over Tokio."
Preliminary reports reaching thp I
Houston Regional office Monday!
indicate that sales during the last
two weeks totalled $96,437,349.00*
which leaves $13,000,000.00 more ;
to be raised to meet our quota.
Fourteen of the forty counties in
the region have already exceeded
their non-bank quotas. They .are:
Angelina, Brazoria, Calhoun,
Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Hardin, Jasper, Montgomery, Nac-
ogdoches, Sabine, Shelby, Trinity
and Tyler. .

CITIZENS URGED
TO PUSH WAR
BOND DRIVE
George S. Colburn, chairman of,
the Orange County Victory, Fund
committee, and W. A. McNeill,
chairman of the War Finance
committee for Orange county, is-
sued a final appeal today to the
Citizens of this county to buy gov-
ernment bonds in the Second War
Loan Drive which ends Saturday.
"Only four days remain in. which
we can buy securities to send Or-
ange County" over the top and ov-
ersubscribe our quota," Mr. Col-
burn said. "We can. wc mu f. we
will do this war financing job to
supply our boys at the world
fronts wH-th the vital war materials
they need to achieve final vic-
tory," he added.
Announcement of Orange coun-
ty's drive totals will be made la-
ter in the week.
DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENTS are, of course, part of Army routine, but few call for more col.1 courage
than that of the sappers who must locate and remove the thousands of mines strewn by tho enemy.
Using electric mine locators, these American soldiers are clearing the way for their armored forces
near Gafsa, when the Axis waa retreating from central Tunisia. (InttrattionMl Soundphoto)

LET'S DO
SOMETHING
ABOUT IT
BY REASONING TOGETHER;
people understand each other with
the result that they are able ti
concentrate their efforts and ac-
complish great things. If there
ever was a locality-where cooper-
ation of the people was absolute
ly necessary, surely it is at Orange
where there is more to be doni
than any other place in Texas
That movement of ''reasoning to-
gether" is getting under' way Al
this time.
