NEARLY HALF WAY THERE: Sales of E and Non-E Bonds today reached 47 per cent of Washtenaw county's $4,702,000 goal. Ann Arbor and Washtenaw county War Bond sales today totalled $2,250,136. That's 47 per cent of the way toward our $4,702,000 objective in E and Non-E (Individual) Bonds in the Seventh War Loan. We have the flag almost half way up. Can we get it all the way up by Flag Day, June 14? Sure we can! We can do it by intensive effort in buying and selling. We can do it if every one who can afford an extra Bond buys it now. We can do it if each salesman contacts every one of his prospects. Let's not dawdle about this job! The marines on Iwo Jima didn't dawdle. Let's do our job as efficiently as they did their job! Let's finish it up between now and Flag Day! Let's go!

NAVY HOLDS BOND DRIVE: Jack Kaufman (left), Navy V012 student, Lt. E. W. Oliver, USNR, of the Naval Architecture group, and Lt. Paul L. Blansett, USNR, bond co-ordinator for West Quadrangle, are examining the evidence of the quadrangle's special Fifth War Loan Drive, from July 1 to 8. Kaufman has purchased $2,5000 worth of bonds, but Oliver is stroking the tail of the Red Rooster for good luck because his group is ahead in the drive. The Red Rooster is the enlisted Navy man's symbol for the best battalion in various phases of Navy work and usually the battalion awarded it gets special privileges.
