way of saying what we mean in a few direct words. Buy War Bonds.
Yes—you and everybody must buy War Bonds. We’ve got to buy more
and more, and more of ’em. Just get the idea into your head that your

That maybe, in that one-fifth of a second, the boy next door could be on
the receiving end of a bullet.. .Then you’ll know it’s worth it!

Suppose there were
Suppose there were no tomorrow? ... Think about it for just a minute
... No tomorrow for you, or your kid sister at home—or the brother
who left for the Army yesterday. Did you ever think that we, who have
had so few yesterdays, may have no tomorrows?
It has happened, you know. To Jack Feldman, and Bob Ernest—and
fifteen others who sat in our classes just last term...
They will have no tomorrow. They died before they ever had a try
at living ... so that we might have our chance.
. There are millions who were asked to give up more than a double
feature at the Earle ... or a spiffy, new pair of pumps for next week’s

The kids in Russia, who live on a few ounces of cereal a day. They’ve
never seen an ice cream soda. •
The Polish boys and girls, who would be in school right now, just
as we are ... if there were any schools left.
The French youths who’ve never had a hamburger on a date—or
any other time, for thkt matter. They are old, very old ... older than
you and I will ever be...
There are millions of them ... in Norway... Holland... Denmark

NEW YORK - —Thousands
of books which have been unused
in the Columbia University's ex-
tensive libraries now are serving
in the war effort as an aid to Ar-
my and Navy personnel and gov-
ernment and business agencies, ac-
cording to Dr. Charles C, Wil-
liamson, director emeritus of the
libraries. ,
An unprecedented demand for
I knowledge of ubscure Pacific
I tribes and little known countries
j has given esoteric histories and
I geographies new interest, he said,
and the use of books on engineer-
ing, chemistry and mathematics
has soared;
Demands for loan of the uni-
versity’s map collection have more
than doubled, Williamson added,
and 500 maps have been loaned to
government agencies alone within
the past year.
The microfilm library, where
precious and rare manuscripts
filmed tn miniature are filed, also
has increased use. e
The national library in Scot-
i land, Williamson said, had cabled
foi microfilm copies nt some of
their own books. Wishing to use
the manuscripts, the Scottish li-
brary was unable to draw upon Its
own volumes, safely stored from
bombings for the duration, and
therefore cabled the university's
I mlcrcfllm libary for copies.
