Fellow Citizens of Freeport:
In the recent U. S. U. drli/e, Freeport w»a the Tlrat comniunity
in Nassau County to go over the top, we far exceeded our quota,
and we did it in record time.
NOW A FUiRTIKBK CALL FOR AID COMBS PROM UNCLE
SAA1.
The-United States Treasury Department has designated the
week of Sept. 15th as National npfenwr Stamp
Week, through retail stores. Durlnk that week
the merchants of Freeport will have Defense
Stamps on sale at their stores, you may buy
them over the counter just »s you do any
article IfKtneir stores, in denominations of ten
and twenty-five, fl&ty cents, one and five dollars.
When you have saved $18.75 worth of Stamps
they are convertible Into a Defense Bond valued
at $25.00 at the end of ten years.
As a nation of God fearing people, living under a democratic
form of government and wishing above all to maintain it, we can-not
but believe those in authority when tuey tell us we arc now
confronted with the moat serious threat to our national existence
in history.
. No Mother, or .Father, wishes .to see his son thrown into battle
under any circumstances. Yet those sons who have been called
Into service may have to face the ultimate challenge of battle.
Certainly they should not be asked to go unprepared, they must
be backed up by the most modern weapons of war, ships, aero-planes,
tanks, guns and the many other Inventions of man turned
to such an unholy purpose.
To furnish these necessities calls for a constant supply of
money, a never ending stream of dollars, until the task is done. You
can assume your part of this task by buying Defense Stumps.
As President of the Chamber of Commerce, jealous, of the
reputation Freeport recently established in the U. S. O. drive, I
urge you to buy Stamps to the limit of your ability. 1& Isn't
charity, it Isn't of necessity thr&ft, although the Stamps pay
hand BO me dividends; IT 19 an Investment in your country, itp
future, and all that you should hold dear. Answer the call Free-i*

Victor Moore Fishes
In Two Oceans
Within Four Days
Victor Moore, TOO South
Long Beach ave., who has
just^ returned from Holly-wood
after completing the
picture "Louisiana Purchase,"
in which he starred with Bob
Hope, has established what
must be a record in having
fished in two oceans within a
week.
On Wednesday, Aug. 28 he
fished In the Pacific with Leo
Carlllo, a former member of
the Freeport actor's colony,
and last Sunday, just four
days later, he was out in his
own yacht fishing in the At-lantic
Ocean. Of course this
was made possible by a trans-continental
flight aboard a
stratoliner plane, a trip he
described in his best "presi-dential"
language as wonder-ful.
Mr Moore will remain "hi
Freeport, fishing most of the
time* until Monday, Sept. 29,
when he will go to Philadel-phia
to resume his role in
"Louisiana Purchase." After a
short run in that city, the
