Transcript

Master than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a walker motive. Able to leave tall buildings in a single bound. What's in the sky? The bird! It's a train! It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman! Strange visitor from another world who came to world with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change the cause of mighty rivers, bend the steel in his bare hands. and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-metered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way.

But before we join Superman, here is an important message. Members and girls, have you ever seen this squadron of American bombers roaring through the air information? Have you seen newsreel pictures of Uncle Sam's destroyers cutting through the seas on patrol in search of enemy subs and surface raiders?

I'm sure you have, when I bet you're thrilled, you probably felt terribly proud too. Well, if you've been buying war-saving stamps regularly, you have a right to be proud. Not only because those planes and those ships represent the fighting spirit of America, but because you helped to build them.

Yes, sir? Every time you bought a war-saving stamp, your money helped by the labor and materials that are used to make planes and ships and equipment to knock out the Nazis and the Japs. So next time you hear some boy or girl on your block say, oh, shucks, what difference does it make?

If I buy one stamp or not, what difference can one dime make? You tell them that it does make a difference. It makes that big difference. You tell them, for instance, that five dime will buy enough fuel oil to take an American destroyer one full mile closer to its objective, or that one dime will buy five 45 caliber bullets.
