BROWNSVILLE DOES HER PART Wlalking to school in the gray dawn of a winter day we hear the rumble of the coal trucks. livery morning we see these trucks hurry by with their precious load. Brownsville ts awaken- ing to another day-a day closer to victory. 'l'he boat whistles play a lively tune signaling the locks to be ready. Gradually the mist clears away and perhaps we can now see the distillery down by the river, and the trains scur- rying past. Park and 'l'ilford are really doing an essential war time service-manufacture of war alcohol for smokeless powder, etc. The huge gates ol l.ock No. 5 receive the barges of coal with open arms for they know this is a life saving material. Our lock is an important one as seen by the fact that more tonnage passes through these gates than the Panama Canal. Down at the railroad station, one ol' the li nest buildings in town, we watch carload after carload ol' war materials speeding by. We see the crowded passenger trains coming and going. All these industries and their workmen are behind the war effort and pushing with all their might. lJon't forget our many storekeepers who cheerfully try to supply us with essen- tials. 'l'hev're doing their part too. Brownsville is really in there pitching as shown by the recent bond drive. Remember that baby bond you bought through the school? Probably right now it's being fired at the enemy in the form ol' bullets and shells. Yes, every patriotic citizen of Brownsville, who possibly can, are licking Hitler and Tojo by licking war stamps, buying bonds and giving their services willingly to the O. C. D. Every little town like Brownsville in the U. S. A. is helping to defend the home front and to up- hold our lighting front. 'l'hey're bringing back our fighting Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, XVACS. WAVES, and SPARS. Yes, Brownsville, too, is doing her share. lfi
