You wouldn’t like it, of course.
You see, one of the nice
tilings about buying U.S. Savings
Bonds is that you don’t have to.
That’s because you happen
to live in a free country where
nobody forces you to do anything.
Rather, your country asks
that you simply consider the
many advantages of Savings
Bonds.
First of all if you think
Aey’re a get-rich-quick scheme,
forget it Bonds aren’t for you.
They only pay off in the long
haul. For a quick return, there
are a lot better ways to make
a buck.
They do pay off, however.
Handsomely, as a matter of fact
A little over 4 dollars for
every 3 you invest. Plus, the
privilege of buying the new 5%
Freedom Shares along with
your Bonds.
But these are the selfish
reasons for buying Bonds.
Good, but selfish.
There's one other very im-
portant reason why Americans
already own over $32 billion
in Bonds.
It’s called pride.
It just so happens that most
' Americans still choose to think
this is the best piece of real
estate going.
If you happen to be one of
these Americans who thinks
there’s something to this country
of ours, why not buy into k.
Sign up for the Payroll Sav-
ings Plan where you work.
Or go to-your bank.
And cough up that $18.73.
Please.

Gap Between The
Generation Gap
Disturbs Writer
Silsbee, May 6, 1969
Editor, Silsbee Bee:
I have become very disturb-
ed with the attitudes of both
the older and younger genera
tions. It seems that neither is
trying to solve the problems!
that our country is confronted
with today. It appears that
everyone is trying to place the
responsibility on the other per-
son.
I listen to the leaders of to-
day and 1 wonder about.the
gap between the generation
gap. In making the above state-
ment, I am referring to the age
group that is leaving the young-1
er generation and moving into
the older generation of thought.
It is my opinion that it is
possible that we all share in
the college campus disturbances
and the usage of narcotics that
has spread over our country
like a flash of lightening. I am
not so quick to place,the young-
|er generation with the task of j
solving their own problems butj
I would like to say to the lost
generation, the group between]
the younger and the older gen-
eration, let’s get together and
try to save some of the good
things of our country for our
kids. Who knows maybe we
can dissolve the generation gap
before it destroys our country.!
