ENSIGN J. R. BERTRND
ON ACTIVE “SUB” DUTY;
PROUD TO DO HIS PART
Ensign J. R. Bertrand, a member
of the U. S. Navy’s" corps d’elete,
the submarine service, has been on !
active duty “somewhere in the
Pacific” for several months. His
boat, as submarines are called, is
Los Angeles
Treasury Department
Ensign J. R. Bertrand
one of the newest on the seas and
is as long as a destroyer.
Graduating from U. S. Midship-
but each Other’s as Avell, show up
ready for an emergency. A sub-
marine is on its own for months
tat a time.
To speed a load of high explos-
ives toward a vital part of an en-
emy craft is the purpose of a sub-
marine. But it is more than a steel
hull—it is composed mostly of men
who must work so closely together
that they create another kind of
machine, a human one. A subma-
rine has thus been described as
“part metal and part flesh.” Its
men seldom; see the sun because
during hours of daylight, the craft
lies submerged. Only during hours
of darkness does it dare to come
to the surface to store up its bat-
teries. Tlhie life of a submariner is
one of tension and suspense. His
“boat” must often lie silent “at
the bottom” in hiding at which
time all air-conditioning is cut off;
air gets hot1 and foul, enemy depth
men’s School in New Yoi*k last! charges make the craft shudder.
October, Ensign Bertrand was com-
missioned a deck officer. Prior to
graduation, however, he volunteer-
ed for undersea service and was
one of a small minority group of
volunteers to pass a rigid physical
exam required of all submariners.
The exam determines not only
whether the applicant is healthy
and intelligent, but whether he is
emotionally well-balanced as well.
Due to the strain of war patrols,
submariners must be quietly cour-
agous and must have an imperturb-
ability unequalled by that of any
other group in the service.
Upon leaving New York, Ensign
Bertrand was sent to submarine
school farther east where he had
several months training in subma-
rine tactics. Early in 1943 he was
assigned to ffhe sub on Avhich he
noAv does his part for Uncle Sam.
Justification of all training comes
in the Avar patrols. Then the man
selected for their ability to work
Avith other men and trained to do
not only their oAvn specialized job
1 But even though at these times
“All-Hands” experience fear, not
even the Marines are prouder of
the uniform they wear than are
these doughty submariners. Ac-
cording to Ensign Bertrand,
“There’s no other serAricc to com-
pare Avith sub service. ’ ’
Submarine men on active duty
make up only a small percent of
our Navy personnel, yet this small
percent has been responsible for
the sinking of the majority of all
Jan ships since the Avar began.

REPORT GOOD 'WHEAT
CROP IN ITALY
In spite of Avar, the Italian Avheat
crop this year is believed to have
been as large or even larger than
'the pre-Avtar averag, according to
the Office of Foreign Agricultural
Relations of the Department of Ag-
riculure. The 1943 crop may have
amounted to as much as 280 million
bushels. That estimate compares
Avith unofficial estimates of 269 mil-
lion bushels last year;

Everyone working in the drive
will ibe given full credit. What
really count now, is that we all
buy Bonds and buy them liberally
for future security and Victory!
White Deer Citizens Buy
War Bonds to Hasten Day
When Our Boys Come Home
The Third War Loan Drive ends
next Thursday, ISept. 30. Shall the
record shoAv that Wlhitle Deer com-
munity met her quota?
Over $60,000.00 of the $100,000
asked of us has been purchased. A
short time remains for us to do our
full duty. Shall Ave meet it as Ave
have allways done in the past?
Tlhe extra $100 bond, will do a
lot towards helping us over the hill
noAv. Several large purchases must
be made before the final goal is
met. When everyone has done his
duty, our consciences will be clear.
Our boys on the battle front are
looking to us for food and ammuni-
tion to carry on. We do not believe
the homefront Avil be lagging.
The American people Avill meet
this crisis with a full subscription
of the $15,000,000,000 asked Avith-
out a doubt, but shall it be said of
us that Ave shared our full part?
Carson County’s quota in the
Third War Bond campaign has
been set at $580,200, according to
J. C. MeCollough, county chair-
man.
“Tlhe long, hard march to Berlin
and Tokyo has just begun. If you
think it will be easy, if you think
Ave can Avin this fight Avith one
hand . . . then you are wrong,
dangerously Avrong.”
These Avords from Secretary
Morgen’thau of the Treasury De-
partment, AAle believe, are timely
and are true. The Italian victory
is only the beginning. Wle can make
of that victory the occasion of a
celebration in buying more War
Bond, or Ave can take the danger-
ous position of complacency, a po-
isition so dangerous it can easily
lose this w)ar for us.
Our men on the battle lines in
Italy are nob resting—they are not
Complacent—they are face-to-face
with the grim killers of our cruel,
implacable enemies. And Ave cannot
have that fighting front Avithout a
supporting front here at home.
The people of this community are
in the service of their country as
much as theough they Avere called
into' battle. That service consists
of doing the jobs we must do in
production and to support Avith
every cent df our surplus earnings
the Third War Loan drive Avhich
is underAvay.
What sacrifice have Ave made
comparable to those boys Avho hav^e
lost their legs ,their arms—their
lives in the living hell of the battle
fields ? As farmers we are enjoying
our highest income peak. As Avork-
ers in tlhe plants and factories, Ave
have reached our highest wage lev-
el. We are thousands of miles
from the danger zone, yet these
dollars will be as deadly to the
enemy as bullets fired on the front
lines. These dollars of ours must
be fighting dollars in the form of
War Bonds if Ave do our patriotic
duty in this Thii’d War Loan.
If you could but see the long
toavs of maimed, broken young men
in our army and navy hospitals—
if you could but see the i’oavs of
crosses on foreign soil — if you
could but feel for one moment the
living hell of the foxholes in the
jungle, the rain of lead on an Ital-
ian battle field—the lurking, slip-
pery, heaving deck of a Avar ship
during a figihlt-tlo-the-death—if you
could but watch the advance of one
of our divisions under deadly ma-
chine-gun fire—American boys—
maybe your boy—sacrificing all for
your safety and for the preserva-
tion of everything Ave hold dear in
this community. Then perhaps, you
would sacrifice everything in the
Avay of material comforts and lend
your money to your government
for these War Bonds.
We are not asked to do that. We
continue our lives here in comfort
and safety. We continue to go to
ball games—to theatres—to our
favorite tavern nor night club. Wle
sit on our front porches and read
the Avar neAvs or discuss and cuss
the Congress. We gait her our rich
harvests. We go about our daily
asks in the midst of our friends
and felloA\Ts. We collect our fat
paychecks and Ave come home to
our families and perhaps there is
a vacant place at the table—Our
boy majy be oitt there someAvhere
and he’s not complaining.
We grumble some about gas a-
tioning. We can’t get thick juicy
steaks any more. Service is not
Avlhat it formerly Avas, prices are up
—-but is there any comparison with
your trifling inconveniences and
the sacrifices these American sons
are making.
If you have a conscience, you’ll
go to the bank or post office and
buy that extra $100 W^r Bond this
day. _

|. • VOLUME XX. WHITE DEER, CARSON COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1943 NUMBER 29
We Dare You to Make Us
Buy War Bonds
AN OPEN LETTER TO
WHITE DEER REVIEW SUBSCRIBERS
We want to maty*. dolTars with you. But in this dollar-
matching game, you, The Review and Uncle Sam all win.
The Review wants to buy some War Bonds during the
Third War Loan Drive. Carson County has a quota of $580,200.00
That is a lot of money and means that you and I are going to?
dig just a little deeper in our pockets if the county’s quota is
to be raised.
Here is the deal:
For every dollar you pay on your Review Subscription
during the rest of September, we will add a like amount with,
which to purchase War Bonds. If you pay us $1.50 for a year’s
renewal we will add another dollar and a half. If you renew fo^
two years at $3.00, we will match it with another three dollars.
All of this will go into a separate fund. At the close of the Wat
Bond Drive all money taken in on subscriptions, plus the dollars
we match yours with, Avill be used to buy War Bonds.
Even though your subscription may not expire for a few
months, this is an opportunity to boost along your subscription
and at the same time participate in Upcle Sam’s best investment.
So the more our subscribers pay on their subscriptions
during this campaign, the deeper we will have to dig to match
dollars. But it is a good deal for all Gjf us—no one can lose.
