The response on the part of students as purchasers has been acceptable, but we need a greater volume of buyers. llth each War Bond Drive the school is assuming greater leadership in taking the war bond message to the community. students have proved themselves to be topfllght publlclty agents and salesmen. Their part in the Sixth lar Loan Drive will undoubtedly be more thorough and more extensive than ever before. This must be the case lf the Sixth War Ioan Drive ls to be completed successfully. for it will be one of the most dlfflcult undertakings of the entire war effort. Many people encouraged by military victories ln Europe The- and ln the Pacific are thinking that 'the war is almost over, forgetting that our task of actu- ally completlng this present war-ending all conflict, bringing our fellows and girls back toy their respective homes, and the job for all of us--that of return- The October commlttee in Urs. ing to a normal, peaceful, and civilized existence is still ahead of us. Therefore, let us all make a concentrated, faithful and tlraless effort to buy, and continue, to buy, war bonds and stamps from our student salesmen.
