WOLFIT’S PART HI TILL WAR
Since the beginning of the v.rar, wouen have played a vital part
5n all phases of war activity on the Lone front. The denands oL the
Red Cross, the U.S. 0., and a hundred other siiilar organizations have
been quietly and efficiently net by the women of America. And behind
every nan doing a job for his countr^, whether on the fightin- front
or on the hone front, stands a wonan—a mother, a wife, a sweet teart,
sister or friend, whose staunch faith and love furnish an ine::’fus
tible source of strength and courage through da3rs of hardshin and
sufperinr-.
Tar ’■•onen of this country have distinguished themselves in nro
motinr the purchase of War Bonds, an aspect of the war effort that is
immeasurably important. In spite of the fact that non seen to have
appropriated to themselves the handling of financial affaiis, the truth
remains that through some woman's hands "oos ?.l ost all of the oncy
spent by the Aierican family. It is the woman of the household v.iio
plans, and saves, end manages the family budget. Therefore, it is she
who knows just how many far Bonds can be squeezed out of the monthly
income. And it is she who knows the- incsti. table value of havin' a
little money put by for emergencies.
You kronen should be the War Bond salesman in the country. If
a prospective purchaser says to you, "I can't afford to buy an extra
Bond,*' you arc just the person who can tell him hov he CAW afford the
Bond, because many a time, through your own skillful mana-*-orient of tl
family finances, you have mans'cd to buy an extra Vermont, or a niece
of furniture, or pay a doctor bill that you "couldn't afford,"
We ,rant our homes restorec to the serenity and graciouencsr of
peacetime. We want our families around us oner more. We ”ant victory,
•\d the peace that will follow. And so, I appeal to you "-o -cn of
.j.aska to bend all your e fforts in this co line :rar Local Drive ta ard
the s: lc of more and more 'Jar Bonds. Alaska needs the whole-lie rted
support of every itricn in the Territory.
Mrs. John L. McCormick, Territorial Chairman of the Women's Sec
tion of the "i,v Finance Corn lit tee, re -orts that more than .50,0 >0 to
vrard the purchase of a lip,lit ha iber has heen raised through the sail
of Series E, F and G War Bonds by the v/ouen* s organizations cf Alaska.
This activity v/as part of a nation-wide campaign conducted 'ey
.he General Federation of Women's Clubs, v/hose project for the year
iz.s to furnish, through Vai Bond sales, a fleet of bonbers for the arm
ed forces.
