A total of $88.70 has been
lected in Nocona to buy soldier kits
for our soldier boys. Nocona's
quota in soldier kits is $100. $11.30
is still lacking to fill this quota
and anyone who wishes to help
should take the money to the Sally
Shop.
Money for these 100 kits must
be sent in before the materials
to fill them will be sent back to
us, so it is very urgent that our
quota be met soon.
The contributions making up the
$88.70 received were made through
the Nocona War Mothers club,
and were collected by Mrs. J. W.

The nation’s steel mills are running out of scrap.
They haven’t enough on hand for even 30 days more.
When this is gone, they may have to shut down—for
all new steel is 50% scrap. Get your scrap ready to
turn in now!
Think about it as revenge—a way to get back at
the scum who have attacked us. Or think about it as
a little more protection for our fighting men—some-
thing you, yourself, can do to bring as many as pos-
sible home alive.
But think about it now—for the scrap in homes,
farms and factories has got to be moving to stock
piles within the next few weeks OR IT MAY BE TOO
LATE!
Maybe you don’t know what it means to have pro-
duction fall off. Maybe you can’t imagine how it feels
to be hunkered down in a foxhole wishing for just one
more clip of cartridges. Or to see the enemy rolling
through your lines because you didn’t have just a few
more tanks.
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Fanning of |

Washington, Sept. 22.—Relatives
and friends of prisoners of war
or military men missing in action
in the Far East are urged by the
American Red Cross to go imme-
diately to their local Red cr<58s
chapter to file messages to them.
The messages will be carried on
the exchange ship “Crispsholm,”
soon to sail on its return voy-
age.
The procedure for those wishing
to send messages is:
First, message is to be filed with
the local chapter of the Red Cross
on Form 1616; second, complete
information as to name, number,
rank, military unit, and last known
address must be given; and fourth,
the message must be confined to
25 words.
The American Red Cross
nounes that these messages
be mailed on the “Grispsholm”, ad-
dressed to the International ’ Red
Cross delegate in Japan, who will
make every effort to see that they
are delivered. The Red Cross can
give no assurance of delivery, but
this method has been adopted in
agreement with the State. Navy.
War, and Post Office departments,
because the Japanese government
has not yet furnished official lists
of the majority of American pri-
soners in the Far East.
These messages will be mailed
out by the Home Service Chair-
man, Mrs. Billie Lunn, at Nocona.
