Transcript

Faster than a speeding horse! More powerful than a locomotive! More buildings than a single town! Yes, it's Superman, range visitor from another world, who came to work with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.

Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers, then feel in his bare hands. And who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered 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. Fellows and girls, have you ever seen a squadron of American bombers roaring through the air in formation? 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, and I bet you were a thrill. You probably felt terribly proud too. Well, if you've been buying more savings than 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 jet. So next time you hear some boy or girl in your block say, oh, shut, what difference does it make if I buy one stamp or not?

What difference can one dine make? You tell them it does make a difference, it makes a big difference. Tell them, for instance, that five dime will buy enough fuel oil to take an American destroyer one four miles closer to its objective, or that one dime will buy five forty-five caliber bullets.
