Sam Ahernethy’s tho Chief
Rumor-Splker in our town.
If a stranger gets off some-
thing like—"I hear they’ve sunk
the S. S. Humbleiitv," Sain starts
pinning him down. Did lie really
-see it? Where's the evidence'’
because Sam knows, like the
rest of us. that nine-tenths of the
“inside new passed around by
careless folk isn’t rumor—it’s lies
planted by the Axis to destroy
\n>> ncan morale.
Take I hose rumors about
ilniikim in our Vnn) l amps.
Actual, olltela! facts from the
Koverument’s own OtUeo of War
Information showed there
wasn’t a shred of truth in ’em.
The boys enjoy a ’.ass of boor
occasionally—same .» a lot of
US do!
And from w* 1 at, they're
proving themselves the health-
iest, best-disciplined hunch of
fighting men in history, like the
OWl rep rt stated T ’a good
enough f. r me.
