The USO services have spread over a ' vast area—into every state and territory in the Union, up to a few miles south of the Arctic Circle in Alaska and more than 700 miles south of the equator in Brazil. USO camp shows have circled the glove. The USO has a place in the heart of every American who has a son or daughter in uniform. The USO is a “home away from home." | The celebration of USO's third birthday and open house would be incomplete without a tribute to USO's volunteers, 800,000 strong. Senior and Junior hostesses and an increasing number of men have given literally millions in the arm- ed forces the heart-warming as-_‘ surance that the “home folks” are| behind them.

And as the litters of wounded come uvp the gangplank of the hospital ship, the young novice swallows, shuts her eyes for an instant, and nods. They don’t want our tears . . . these boys of ours. Not though they face a future that at first can seem harder than death. They want our courage . . . they want our resolution. Courage and resolution to match and sustain their own. Courage to keep us going on with this great task—no matter what it may cost these coming months in blood and sweat. Resolution to back the boys who are tak- ing these risks, with every breath that's in us and every dollar we can rake or scrape. The boys realize, far more than we can, how fast war uses up machines, ammuni- tion, equipment. The guns and tanks that took Hill 609 in Tunisia had to be rebuilt or replaced before they could thunder down upon Messina and Naples. The landing barges that brought our men to the perilous beaches of Salerno must be- repaired and reoutfitted before they can drive ashore in France or the Balkars. We,cannot win the war with the bulléh our bonds bought last summer. Thaose bullets are already buried in Jap and Nazi graves. And another horde of the desperate, comnered enemy is coming on. Bulletsand shells , . . tanksand guns . .. ships and planes. These are the things the boys are asking us for . . . the boys at the front and the boys behind them who will never again do things with two hands, or walk with two feet, or see with two eyes. They don’t ask us to give what they have given. They only ask us to skip the easy tea . to invest our money instead of spending it . . . to lend the mere moncy price of Victory. They only ask us to buy War Bonds EEP ON BACKING THE ATTACK ! This advertisement is a contribution o America’s all-out war effort by SAN JUAN FISHING and PACKING COMPANY v g e
