Subscribe for some extra war bonds at the Empire Booth in front of the Coliseum ‘Theatre tonight—UNQUOTE. H ‘The way Lee Rox looks at it, the Axis powers in Europe, and the Japs in the Pacific are both a little “top heavy,” and the purchase of more war honds isn't going to help the enemy get rid of that “knock- kneed-between-the-eyeballs feeling.” The paper peddlers who sell you papers on the street every day will be out in force to deliver those EXTRA invasion bonds. - e BPWC GETTING READY FOR WAR BOND CAMPAIGN Spedial Awarvdrs toBe Made for Largest Amounts Turned In The Business and Professional Womans' Club of Juneau is spon- soring a drive during the coming _ campaign for War Bonds, with all women business or professional par- ticipating.
