PALMER DOESN'T WANT TO
’PLEASE "NIPS AND KRAUTS"
By Harry B. DeLand, Chair
man Local Bond Sale9
Committee.
Every few days some fin
ancial adolescent comes to
me with the story that pur
chasing war bonds is a bad
speculation and that ftb’.y
questions the repayment of
the money loaned.
How the Nips and tho
Krauts love that kind of
stuff1 What kind of people
spread that sort of propa
ganda?
Let us look at it this
way. If the faith of the
people in their country has
fallen to such an extent
that they no longer believe
in its ability to pay its
obligations, then the propa
ganda has accomplished its
mission. If the Axis coun
tries have convinced us thai
they have destroyed our ab
ility to run our own econom
ic structure, then they have
won a signal victory. Do
you believe thiB? Do you
believe that in the short
space of little more than
half a year, Germany and
Japan have forced us to the
conclusion that we are a na
tion that cannot pay our
bills? NO - you do not
fall for that kind of bun
combe.
.Vnen some one comes up tc
you and tells you this sort
of thing, it is time for you
to put that person in his or
her place. We can fulfill
our duty to our country and
pledge our faith to Old Glo
ry in one way and one way on
ly. That is by SERVIC2.
Service in the armed forces.
Service in Industry. Service
in support of the War Bond
campaign. Let ue reaffirm
our faith and our loyalty in
the way we can best serve.
Let us refuse to be led by
the nose to believe those
things the enemy would have
us bolieve. Watch the nan

Remodeled To Be Home For
Nurses.
Dr. David Hoohn became
raecticai director of Llata
nuska Valley hospital on
Tuesday. Five nurses to
staff tho hospital have not
so far been able to get to
Palmer. Dr. Hoehn'3 wife,
Dr. Beatrico Andrews is
not able to loave her pa
tients in Fairbanks - so
many of the Fairbank's doc

city. She plans to come
to Palmer January 1.
Immediately upon his ar

living quarters for the
nurses. He was delighted
to find three large rooms
and one small room on the

tal with heat and sewage
pipes already installed as
