WHITE DEER REVIEW, White Deer, Carson County, Texaa
Stepping Out For A United Home Front
a ✓ „

This is a picture of nine resi-
dents of Texarkana, Arkansas-
Texas, better known as “Texar-
kana, U. S. A.”—but it is a
picture of a lot more than that.
It typifies the united front, chins
up, flexed muscle, flexed mind,
do-or-die spirit with which the
whole American home front will
march into the $16,000,000,000
Fifth War Loan drive starting
June 12. Texarkana, in the role
of typical American community,
and with Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau as a guest,
is to be the scene of Civilian D-
Day, launching the loan drive.
The Texarkanians you see here
letting our fighters know that
the home folks are back of them
to the limit, come what may, are
(left to right) Sam Holleman,
railroad man; J. H. Bailey,
butcher; Mrs. David McGaha,
homemaker; Curt Wetz, war
plant worker; Charles Barber,
youth; L. G. Smith, cattleman;
Miss Margaret Thacker, woman
war plant worker; H. C. Me-
Curry, business man; W. J
Springer, farmer. They’re
marching down Texarkana’s
State Line Avenue.-It’s the boast
of the people of Texarkana that
the State Line doesn’t divide but
unites them.

The area indicated in white on the above map is the Nazi defense zone. Continued bombing of key
communications lines complicated the enemy’s transportation problems and the past months of hammering
at the German Luftwaffe so weakened that unit that the Allied air force dictated terms on which they should
meet. Several weeks ago it was reported that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had hioved approximately a
quarter of a million men to that area.

through the next year they devel-
oped their own techniques by hit-
and-run raids against enemy-held
coastal areas. The damage they did
managed to keep the Nazis in a con-
stant state of alertness.
Then came the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941.
Britain had gained a powerful ally.
It marked the beginning of the end
for the Axis powers.
American troops landed in North-
ern Ireland in January, 1942. Plans
for the invasion were shaping up.
It was only a question of time.
Three months later American and
British troops invaded French North
Africa. The landings, carefully
planned and perfectly timed, were
brilliantly successful. It was here
that an inexperienced American
army got its baptism of fire. It
learned the caliber of the foe, find-
ing that the Germans were stub-
born, brave opponents.
In May, 1943, the Americans, Brit-
ish and Fighting French eliminated
the Nazis from Africa. Then fol-
lowed the invasion of Sicily. It was
a surprise assault and resulted in
victory in 38 days. The Sicilian cam-
paign marked the highest point to
that time in Allied cooperation.
But they still operated with sepa-
rate armies, navies and air forces.
Complete integration was impos-
sible.
Then came the invasion of Italy.
A mixed British-American army
stormed the Salerno beaches on Sep-
tember 9. The landing was success-
ful because of the smooth combi-
nation of air, sea and land forces.
British and Americarj air superior-
ity was never questioned. Naval
units of both nations landed men and
equipment and kept them supplied.
During all these operations, plans
i for the invasion were going ahead
in England. Nazi propagandists
boasted of their fortress, all the
while admitting that invasion was
inevitable.
The battle of the Atlantic shipping
lanes had been won. Submarines
were still a menace, but the grave
threat had been removed. Huge
convoys of men and war materiel
moved to Great Britain with losses
at a minimum.
Air attacks on Germany and on
the coast of France were stepped
up almost beyond belief.

MILLER’S PHARMACY
Skellytown, Texan
I Millions of old books and maga-
zines lying unused in American
homes, libraries and offices are
urgently needed now as raAV ma-
terial for thousands of essential
items of Avar, it Avas announced to-
day by Herbert M. Faust, director
of the Salvage Division of the
War Production Beard.
“Waste paper is the nation’s
most critical war material,” Mr.
Faust said. “It is as important as
poAvder since more than 700,000
military items are either made of
Avaste paper products or are paper
Avrapped for shipment overseas.
“The increasingly critical and
Avould be relieved immeasurably if
Ave threw into the fight all of the
useless old hooks and magazines,
of no interest to servicemen, noAV
gathering dust on our bookshehres
or lying untouched in our attics,
closets and cellars.”
Mr. Faust said since the average
book wieghs abont a pound, •> tie
unused book Avill make tivo con-
tainers for life-saving plasma, six
cartons for the U. S. Army emer-
gei$y “K” rations, ten paper-
board boxes for 50 cal. bullets,
thirty containers for lifeboat in-
flation cartridges or scores of oth-
er military items that may mean
the difference betAveen life and
death for oud own boys.
Waste paper collections are now
25% Ibelotwi essential military and
civilian requirements, Mr. Faust
said, causing curtailed production
of vital war supplies.
MORE CANNING SUGAR
MAY BE SECURED
The main features of the 1944
Canning Sugar Program has been
received in the Local Price & Ra-
tioning Board office.
Sugar Stamp No. 40 in .War
Ration Book 4 has been validated
for five pounds of sugar and good
through Feb. 28,1945. For any
sugar over and above this, stamp
application must be made to the
Board on Form R-323 and Spare
Stamp No. 37 out of Book 4 must
be attached for each individual
covered by the application. Appli-
cation must, be made for five (5)
pounds of sugar or multiples
thereof up to a maximum allow-
ance of twenty (20) pounds per
person over and above stamp No.
4. This is necessaryby reason of
th e fact that Sugar AlloAvance
Coupons, Form R-325, are five (5)
pounds. The restriction is Avith-
drawn on the amount of sugar
that may be used for jams, jellies,
preserves and fruit butters. More
than one application may be made
during the year for home canning
sugar, but the issuance cannot ex-
ceed twenty (20) pounds per per-
son. In this connection the supply
of sugar is quite short and it is
imperative that the amount issued
for home canning purposes he
sharply reduced from that issued
last year. As a result of this,
Washington has suggested that
the first issuance of home canning
sugar not exceed ten pounds per
person and then specific evidence
presented for the needs of any
future alloArance.
The Local Board will receive
applications either by mail or in
person, Monday through Saturday.
Not a single V-Mail letter of
223 million sent overseas has been
lost, according to the Army and
Navy, emphasizing the fact that
V-Mail ahvays gets to men in com-
bat areas everywhere.
