Buy Bigger EXTRA War Bonds
In "The Mighty Seventh"
±

Five Years Transition,
What of the Future?
by Harvey A. Andruss
An idea of the balance between
the Teacher Education development
and the War Programs can best be
depicted by placing them in parallel
columns, shown as follows :
PROGRAMS OF STUDY
Teacher Education Developments
Educational Clinic with Health ,
Psychological and Speech divisions
approved by the State Council of
Education .
Field of Speech Correction as a part
of the curriculum for the education
of teachers of Mentally Retarded
Children .
Field of Aeronautics as a part of
the curriculum for the education of
Secondary Teachers.
Field of Spanish as an elective for
Business Education students and later
as an elective field f or Secondary
Students.
Experimental Laboratory School in
Aviation , Summ er of 1944.
War Progress
Aviation Programs — over 1,000
persons given fligh t instruction.
Civil Pilot Training for 100 college
students.
High School, Teachers of Aeronaut i cs 100.

There are three important and
highly personal reasons why you will
want to buy bigger EXTRA War
Bonds during "The Mighty Seventh."
Each of them can be given in a single
word :
1. War
2. Inflation
3. Yourself
Re-arrange these reasons in any sequence you wish . It doesn't matter.
Your purchase of War Bonds for any
one of them simultaneously includes
the other two.
Buy because you know that the cost
of completing the j ob in Europe will
be tremendous, and because you realize that the fabulous distances in the
Pacific must be spanned by dollars
as well as by men, ships , pla n es, and
guns , and your purchase also helps
to jkccp prices down and rewards you
with the world's safest investment.
Buy because your personal post-war
plan calls for money that you can acquire only by saving, and your dollars
automatically help to wage the war ,
to allay the backwash of war, and to
defea t inflation.
No matter how you look at it , in
sho r t , your investments in "The
Mighty Seventh" help to safeguard
your own and your country's future.
So buy the bonds of "The Mighty
Seventh" and hang on to the bonds
you buy. Only by doing this can your
investment be profitable and patriotic .
Only by doing this can "The Mighty Seventh" hold its beachhead for
the nation today and for you tomorrow.

Lt. H. E. Miller, U.S.M.C.R.
"Taxi" writes, "As you have probably heard and surmised, I am on
Okinawa. In fact I've been here'since
the beginning! This place is somewhat like Pennsylvania—rolling, hilly
country and a cool climate. It rains a
little bit more than it does in Pennsylv ania , but it is a pretty good substitution—the best I've seen so far!
The inhabitan ts of this island are a
mixture of Chinese, Japanese, and I
believe Korean . They are small of
stature—about five feet tall, but appear to be quite muscular . At least
they carry loads which make the
loads carried by Marines silly! The
women deftly balance h uge loads on
their heads—and their balance is perfect."
Conrad SUaeiTcr E.M. S/g
"We stopped off in Pearl Harbor,
T.H. and had a few liberties, etc., but
the best part of our stay there was
the sigh t-seeing trip around the island
of Oahu, sponsored by the Navy. The
sights and points of interest were
grand . I'm sure it would put a big
den t in a fellow's finances to take
that same trip in peace time. Also
we are allowed to say we crossed the
180 th meridian and are now one day
ahead of you folks back there . We
were taken into the "Sacred Order of
the Golden Dragon" and have written
proof of the same. As to my whereabouts now — well it's a military
secret for a lot of reasons. One consolation , it's a lot cooler where we
are now and its sure a relief to get
some cool breezes. It rains frequently and that helps matters. We have
been sleeping under a blanket every
night for the past week.

The Navy has officially declared it
to be summer—come snow, sleet, or
hail—i t's still summer because the
Navy has broken out in whites.
The firs t morning I saw them I
thought the Milkman's Union was
having a convention on our campus.
I heard one say he felt like he was
employed by the street cleaning department.
Mr . Englehart's crow are rushing
around with mop and pail cleaning
frantically, They mutter "We must
preserve the PURITY of the Navy" to
the tuno "WE'RE IN THE ARMY
NOW."
