WAR BOND QUOTA
MUST BE REACHED
BEFORE SAT. NIGHT
(1) A Marine infantry outfit moved cautiously along a trail on the afternoon of D-Day
in the invasion of Pcleliu. A fresh-faced, 20-year-c!d bazooka man, Private First Class
Robert Bungard of Diamond, O., slipped forward with his buddies. Kis eyes searched
the trail for signs of the enemy. He was in action for the first time and his throat was
dry. (2) Suddtv.Iy, a fleet of Jan tanks topped the crest of a hill and lumbered down
toward the Marines. Bungard dived into a shell hole and waited, for the Japs to come
within range. He opened fire with his rocket launcher when the first Jap tanks were
within 2C0 yards. His first shot damaged one of the leading pair cf tanks. His second
blasted off its turret. The other tank of the first pair was only 53 yards away, n-s guns
spitting fire. Bungard aimed carefully, halted it with one shot. (3) As the rest of «-ae
tank fleet, estimated to have numbered 20 in all, sought to spread out over thendge,
the young bazooka man aimed again. Three hits were enough to disable another tank.
Other Marines of his outfit, who had been doing their best to dig m when the .anks
appeared, cheered and picked off the Jap tank crews as they scrambled out of their
h’azing armor. (4) Bungard turned his attention to a feurtn Jap tank. He knocked this
only 10 furious minutes but it earned for Bungard tf.w nam*- of Ph* Ra.*r.»kw K.ti.

and Mrs. H. W. Buchanan of this
city, was commissioned an Ensigi

ted a Naval Aviator recently at
the Naval Air Trailing Bases at
Pensacola, Fla.
Having completed his interme-

KILLED IN ACTION
cither original ( as in the case of , rauean,
farmes, or amended, and paying of | to t
installments of estimated tax for
tihe calendar year 1944.
Among the taxpayers affected by
this change in dates are: Farmers
wh)o exercised their right fo defer
filing decarations last April 15;
others who have really filed 1944
declarations hut desire to change
their estimates by filing amended
declarations; all persons who owe
the final installment of 1944 esti-
mated tax.
If a taxpayer who would othe-
rwise be required to file an origi-
nal or amended declaration of es-
timated tax by January'15, 1945,
files his annual income tax return
for 1944 (on form 1040) and pays
•all tax due by January 15, his re-
turn will serve as both a return
and declaration and he need not
-file the 1944 declaration. ,
Also, if a taxpayer files his final
1944 return (on form 1040) and
pays tihe tax due on it by January
15, hg need not pay the final in-
■Btallment which otherwise would
be due on his estimated tax.
Abill from the collector for the
final installment of 1944 eastima-
ted tax may be ignored by a tax-
payer who files his annua return
(on form 1040 )and pays the tax
due on it by January 15.
hese changes wil enable a tax-
payer, if he desires to do so, to
wind up all of his 1944 income tax
obligations by January 15, but it
does not affect the filing of his 19-
,45 declaration which will be due
March 15. Also, taxpayers who do
not file their final 1944 returns by
; Januarv 15 must- do so by March

SPECIAL 'WAR BOND
FOR OLD FOLK
Our War With Japan
The Sixth War Loan marks a new turn in the war both on
the fighting and the home fronts. It points our tremendous
war effort definitely in the direction of the Pacific. During
the first five war loans Americans were primarily thinking in
terms of beating Hitler.
Now our government asks us for a loan of 14 billion more
dollars of which five billion dollars must come from indi-
viduals. Why? Haven’t we nearly finished off our so-called
Number 1 Enemy? Can Japan hold up our powerful war ma-
chine very long? Your son, brother and friend in his Pacific
foxhole wouldn’t raise such questions because they are up
against realities, not day dreams. They kill or are killed. They
pray every waking moment for a sky-darkening cover of
friendly planes. They thank America for giving them the
finest medical care in the world when their rendezvous with
destiny in a Pacific jungle is at hand. They know the war with
the Japs is just beginning.
Here are some other Pacific realities so that you will under-
stand why there must be a Sixth War Loan and why it is
absolutely necessary that it be a success:
The Allied Military Command has estimated that it will
take years, not months, to lick Japan.
Japan’s present army numbers about 4,000,000 with 2,000,-
000 more men available and fit for military service who
haven’t been called up to date. Another 1,500,000, between
the ages of 17 and 20, are not yet subject to the draft.
The Jap Air Force is growing.
In addition to millions of native workers, Japan has a po-
tential slave force of 400,000;000 conquered people. 50% of
Japan’s labor force is made up of women. Another 25% boys
and girls under 20, the balance men. The Jap workday is
twelve to sixteen hours with two days off a month. The Jap
cannot leave his job, change it, or strike. The highest daily
wage equals about three American dollars—30% to 75% of
which goes to taxes and compulsory savings.
The Jap, as our men in the Pacific know, will fight to the
death. As far as the Jap is concerned, the outer Empire—and
the men who defend it—are the expendables. The Jap will
fight the Battle from inside the inner Empire.
The Jap believes that we shall weary of war too easily
and too early.
In the invasion of France, supply ships had an overnight
run to make. In the coming Battle of Japan, ships in the
Pacific will have long-reached round trips that often take five
months to make.
These realities are worth thinking about before you keep
your home front rendezvous with a Victory Volunteer. Per-
haps you will feel that the national personal Sixth War Loan
objective—purchase of at least one extra $100 War Bond—
is entirely too small for you. The better we face the realities
confronting our forces in the Pacific the quicker the whole
bloody business will be over and the sooner we wall welcome
home our fighting men. That’s an American reality to work
for with all our dollars and our sweat.

Suibseribe for The REVIEW!
The U. S. Treasury has a bond
especially for the older people, but
many of them don’t know about
it. This is the current income ser-
ies G-Bond paying 2 1-2 per cent
interest per annum every six
month and maturing in, 12 years.
Any person who needs regular
income from interest on their mon-
qy should consider the G-Series.
For a current income Government
Bond maturng in 12 years, 2 1-2
percent is a high rate of interest,
the Treasury points out. Current
income is not the only G Bond
feature that appeals to the older
investor. Like the popular E Bonds
the Ge Series has fixed redemption
values. They can ibe casher any-
time after 6 months from issue.
Counting interest already received,
this cash redemption value is al-
ways more than cost. In the event
of owner’s death the estate can re-
deem G Bonds at full cost priee
without any reduction Tor interest
already received. This makes G
Bonds ideal for an estate. •

Rural Bond Sales j
Effective Step In
Postwar Planning
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Secretary
of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard
today called on American farmers
to invest all “extra” dollars in War
Bonds during the Sixth War Loan
beginning November 20 as an . ef-
fective step in postwar plannmg
for rural America.
Directing his appeal “To the Farm
People of America,” Secretary!
Wickard said, “the farm people of;
this country have an outstanding i
war record.
”It still takes a lot of money to,
finance the war, even though we
are winning. The single task of
supplying the Pacific, theater is a ;
tremendous undertaking. . Add to |
that the equipment which was s
needed on the invasion coast of!
France, the supplies that are re-
quired now to knock down the walls
of Hitler’s Germany, and the total j
is staggering. So our job here at l
home is by no means over, just as
the war on the fighting front isnit
over Our homefront responsibility
is twofold: One is to stick to our
job and do it well until total victory
is won; the other is to buy War
B<“The farm people of this country
have an outstandng war record.
They have achieved a production
miracle in the face of wartime dif-
ficulties. Their bond-buying record
is good, too, as indicated by the fact
that farmers and their families pur-
chased more than one and a quarter
billion dollars’ worth of bonds in
1943. This figures out at about 10
per cent of their net income.
“This Sixth War Loan campaign
is the biggest yet for agriculture
but never before has agriculture had
so many dollars that could be put
into War Bonds. The record produc-
tion of farmers, coupled with favor-
able commodity prices, has pushed ;
their income up to.an all-time high
level. The investment of those extra, .
inflationary dollars in War Bonds
would be the most effective step, in i
postwar planning Rural America:
“Stake your share in the future—.!
share your stake in the war. .4 . _ j
