Defense is your job. TOO!
Here is a group of strong, healthy young
American soldiers enjoying an after-chow
gab session while they polish up for tomorrow’s
inspection. They are a part of the best-fed,
best-equipped, best-cared-for Army in the
world the United States Army. And they are
just like the boys from your home town, from
your own block, who are training now to do a
job of defending your country—and you
Defense is your job, too;
And one of the best ways for you to do that
job is to buy U. S. Defense* Bonds. For your
Defense Bonds help maintain America’s eco
nomic strength just as these boys help maintain
her military strength. Go to the Pay Office
where you work and sign up for the Payroll
Savings Plan, or join the Bond-A-Month Plan
where you bank. But do it today!
The U. S. Defense Bonds you buy give
you personal financial independence
Remember that when you’re buying Defense
Bonds you’re building a personal reserve of
cash savings. Money that will some day buy
you a house or educate your children, or sup
port you when you retire. Remember, too,
that if you don’t save regularly, you generally
don’t save at all. So go to your company s
pay ottice—now—and sign up to buy Defense
Bonds through the Payroll Savings Plan.
Don’t forget that bonds are now a better
buy than ever. Because now every Series E
Bond you own automatically goes on earning
interest every year for 20 years from date of
purchase instead of 10 as before! This means
that the bond you bought for $18.75 can re
turn you not $25—but as much as $33.33
if you just hold it the extra ten years! A
$37.50 bond pays $66.66. And so on. For your
security, and your country’s, too, buy U. S.
1 >efense Bonds now!
*U.S. Savings Bonds are Defense Bonds-Buy them regularly!

WORK TO BEGIN
ON WEST iUNEAO
PROJECT NEXT WEEK
Work is expected to Degin next
week on the construction of 50 low
rent housing units in West Jun
eau, E. Glen Wilder, executive di
rector of the Alaska Housing Au
thority said here today.
Wilder is here to attend a special
meeting cf the AHA Board being
held in Juneau.
Because bids exceeded estimate
on this project, authority was
given to negotiate. L. E. Baldwin
of Seattle was awarded the con
tract for $70.7,000. In addition to
the construction ef the apartment
units, the project will consist of a
community center, utilities, land
scaping, streets, management and
maintenance. Prank Dunham of
Seattle will be construction super
intendent.
The - project will be located on
Douglas Island near the west ap
proach of the Gastineau Channel
bridge and has been given the
name of Cedaf Park by the AHA
Board of Commissioners. This lo
cation was made necessary because
no land was available within the
Juneau City limits.
In 1S49 Congress authorized $15.
C00.000 to the AHA of which $M,
000,000 was appropriated. A request
is now before Congress for the ad
ditional $5,000,000, Wilder said, be
cause the Board of Commissioners
has already authorized $17,000,000
in loans entirely to private spon
sor builders.
A similar project has already
been started at . Fairbanks and
others will soon be under way at
Anchorage and Ketchikan. Bids on
tlie 50-unit Ketchikan project will
be opened July 12.

ing obscene language. Columnist
Pedro Padilla and Editor Vicente
