Rev Frank J. McPhillips, pastor of St. Mary's Catholic students chapel, is carrying on alone at the chapel because his assistant Rev. Bernard Kearns, is now a chaplain in the Navy with the rank of lieutenant junior grade. Fr. McPhillips, in addition to his duties at the chapel, has been appointed by Bishop O'Hara, Catholic Military Delegate, as auxiliary chaplain of all military establishments on the University campus. Says F. McPhillips: "I am continuing to buy War Bonds because it is the only direct sacrifice that I have been asked to make. And if it hurts a little to buy an extra one, I know that it will make me feel a little less ashamed of my security when I read of the sacrifices our boys are making on every front."

Rev. C. W. Carpenter is pastor of the Second Baptist Church and president of the Ann Arbor Ministerial Association. He is buying an extra War Bond in the Fifth War Loan and here are his reasons: "I am buying an extra War Bond: First because there are over 500,000 American Negroes now serving in the armed forces of our country and 25 of them have gone out from the Second Baptist Church, of which I am pastor. One, my nephew, is serving in the Navy. I feel it my duty as an American citizen to support them and the millions of other young Americans who are fighting all over the world for the freedom of all peoples. "Second, I am buying an extra War Bond that the freedom for which the American Negro is fighting alongside other American soldiers shall not be denied him at home. And that equal opportunities may be offered to all Americans in a better post0war world, regardless of color."

Rev. Henry Lewis Rev. Henry Lewis, D.D., pastor of St. Andrew's Episcopal church, gives cogent reasons for buying Bonds in the Fifth War Loan campaign. Here they are: "I believe in buying War Bonds because I believe every American citizen should have a definite part in this war. As I am too old for active service, and too old to be a chaplain, the best I can do is to buy a Bond whenever possible. After all that is little enough to pay for freedom."
