Transcript

Faster than a speeding bullet. More car-fought than a locomotive. Able to leave poor buildings in a single bound. Look! Look from the sky. It's a bird. It's a cave. It's Superman! Yes, it's Superman. Strange visitor from another world who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of Bofflemen.

Superman who could change the course of mighty rivers, bend the steel in his bare hand, and who disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper, fights a never-ending battle for fruit, justice, and the American way.

But before we join Superman, here is an important message. Fellows and girls, every day the city, state, and national offices of civilian defence organisations are swamped with letters from young people like yourself and most of the letters asked what can i do what part can i take in the national war effort the writers of these letters are all too young to join the united states armed

forces too young to join any of the numerous home defense group and yet they ask isn't there something we can do some of you listening now and no doubt among those who have written those letters and i'll bet many of you who have not written have thought the same thing well the answer is a very simple one and here it is

You can do your part in civilian defense. You can help win this war by buying war-saving stamps regularly. How does that help you ask? How can my dime or 20 or 40 or 50 cents help to win this war?

That's easy too, for instance. Your dime, just 10 cents, will buy 545 caliber bullets that can be used by our soldiers, sailors, or marines to knock five japs or five Nazis out of commission. And believe me, it's going to take a lot of those bullets to knock them all out and win the war.
