ALASKA POST ‘SCREWY’ SPOT, SAYS SOLDIERS

NAKNEK, Alaska (UP) — The men of this foggy, at rm-whiiped Bistol Bay outpost maintain they are garrisoning one of the screwiest spots in the north, and offer appropriately screwball evidence in support of their content! n, Lt. Sam Montroy, Port Arthur, Tex., for example, vouches for the existence of a "smelt fountain” which ho and his men tapped in the Nakni'k river shortly after frecze-up last fall. It seems there was a heavy run W smelt under the ice, and when the soldiers chopped a water hole through the ice one irxrning, pressure capised by a rising tide forced a geyser of water and fish sev ral feet into the air. They hail int 1 ndrd to us" the water to ice down a road, but instead they rushed back for pail-) and busied them-civ. $ picking up enough fish to feed their entire outfit. Sgt James Finaly. Livonia, N. Y, f rmer Brooklyn policeman anil one of the veterans of Guadalcanal, asserts it often is so foggy at Naknek that the seagulls ar 1 grounded He insists with the support of every ac Idler here that wh 'ii gulls arc made to fly up from (heir nosts they oc asi nally go haywire in the murk and spin in. squawking wildly until they get their feet back on the ground.

^\NE day soon, a neighbor may W stop by to talk about the ' Fourth War Loan and the share your locality is expected to play in it. Or, he may talk at a War Bond rally at the high school. Chances arc he’ll ask if you’ll buy more Bonds. Will you look on it as a request for a donation? Or will you look on it as an opportunity to build up the financial reserve every business-like farmer or rancher has to have to run his place profitably?

No need to tell you it takes money to run a war. No need to tell you it's your war, your liberty at stake. But we’re all human and just a litti. bit given to "letting George do it.” Only this time we’re all George. We've got io do it! And in buying those Bonds, we’re doing ourselves as big a service as we arc our fighting men and our country. We’re building strcngtli — personal finan idl strength—with which to meet die inevitable problems of tomorrow.

Something Worth Buy[ng

The only jeans and you’ve both got those Bonds way to have these things is to save the to fall back on for the machinery and money now. U. S. War Bonds are the equipment and buildings you’ll be need- safest and most liquid investment you mg in the future. And how about the tan make for these future needs-needs education you’ve promised yourself worth providing for'
