It is th largest of all war loans In terms of Individual participation in the amount you must di? down for.

Andit it, perhaps, the most important ofall War Loans. For it comes at a time ivhen the eyes of all the world are upon us; the eyes of our friends, the eyes of bulk of pocket money that leads to black markets and disastrous spending. Every one who has a job or savings, should invest at leait $100 if possible, $200, $300, or $500 extra. The place where you work will have a quota. The place you live also a quota.

Try to invest there, too. Other. people will ask you. Hampton and Elizabeth City County have a quota of $1,450,000. Let's do our part to realize this quota! The Fourth Loan is a test of us as a nation.

The eyes of our fighting men are upon us to see if we are backing them. The eyes of our Allies are upon us to see if we are with them. The eyes of our enemies are upon us to see if we are soft enough to fall for a non-victorious, here-today-gone-tomorrow peace Are we7 The answer is your pocket! promise our Allies we'll stick with them not only through the winning of the war but through the winning of the peace as well. The Fourth War Loan is' the home front's first big test of this new and vital year. It will take unity and determination of will of all the people to make the Loan succeed.

The need for this and other War Loans should be clear to every American. This war is the costliest effort ever undertaken by any country. It costs 250 million dollars each day. This is just the cost of the war, in addition to the regular, inescapable cost of running a great and huge country. Taxes can't take care of all this outgo.

In a democracy, war is the business of all the people. Some must fight, some must, work and put up the money. It's the only way to raise the money. It's also the right way to raise the money. It gives you a good place to invest the extra money you have today.
