SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 12. 1943 PACE FIVE, FIRST SECTION PORT HURON TOIES HERALD Sea Scout Gets Eagle ADMISSIONS DIRECTOR APPLAUDS JAYSEE RECORD Announcements sion of tht Third War Loan under whose direction more than 200 Gallants in local retail establishments have been pledged to sell $283,000 in bonds during September. We asked Mr. Smith to tell us.

SF -Mil Why People Are Buying War Bonds Every Day By JANET McCLUXti Why are Port Huron people backing the attack by buying War Savings bonds and more War Savings bonds until the quota of the Third War Loan campaign is reached and perhaps exceeded? The answer to that one is simple. People here, as in every other town in the United States, recognize their purchases as the best kind of insurance that our side will win and continue to win until final victory is achieved They see their purchases as American lives saved by every day the war is shortened and the finest investment that could be made in these times an investment in the future of America itself. Yes. the answer to that one is simple. But another question that is not so simple to answer is: Why are hundreds of local citizens devoting hours of their war-busy time to the sale of War Savings bonds during the Third War Loan? There is no possible personal gain in it.

Why not just buy your own bonds and let George do the rest? For an answer to this question this reporter went to Westcott T. Smith, head of the Retail Merchants divi Ration Calendar Processed Foods Blue R. and stamp? valid through Sept. 20. U.

"I'm never too busy for His answer follows: "To answer the question why would I put time and energy Into the sale of War Savings bonds and stamps I would answer that first. ana pernaps most imponani, my own conscience tells me to "If anyone can res with an easy conscience with full knowledge of the offer of supreme sacrifice that relatives and friends are making out in the fighting rones then that person is justified in making no effort to help the war on the home front.

BUY MORE BONDS FOR THE BOYS AWAY 35 MARVIN BERGSMAN experience has been that the academic and extra-curricular program of Port Huron Junior college is equal to that of any city or state-supported college or university. "It is my belttf that other factors being equal, a small college is better than a large one for the first two years. This opinion has been formed during the time 1 studied at the University of Chicago where I met students who had transferred from many different colleges." Adinoff's two brothers, one a Detroit attorney, also are Junior college graduates. The Port Huron institution which year after year has sent its graduates into the world of work or higher learning with such satisfying results, will re-open for classes Sept. 20.

Copley, director of admissions with advanced standing, pays to Port Huron Junior college.

From Michigan State college is reported that "students who transfer to State from Port Huron Junior college complete requirements for graduation in larger percentages than the average student who enters." R. S. Linton, registrar at the East Lansing institution, states that 27 out of 42 students who entered State from Junior college since 1936 have graduated, and that nine are still in good standing at the college. If the nine graduate, it will give Junior college alumni at State a record of 36 graduates out of 42 entering students. During the past year.

Mr. Linton points out, State admitted approximately 2,500 students and graduated 1,110, or 44.4 per cent. Contributes To Record Among several Jaysee graduates who have contributed to this splendid record at other institu- tions are Marvin Bergsman, class of 1934, and Bernard Adinoff, '37. I Bergsman, a specialist in public administration in Washington, D. graduated from Port Huron high school in 1932, Junior college, and University of Michigan in 1936, in economics.

In subsequent years he completed requirements for the master's degree in business administration and public admin-1 istration at the University. His present position as person- nel officer in the Office of Price Adminstration, was preceded by public service as (1) personnel as-j sistant for Michigan's civil service commission: (2) clerk of the state prison of Southern Michigan; 3 and field representative for the Social Security beard. Bergsman's OPA duties include setting up salary bases and qualifications for office; measuring worth of employes proposed for transfer or promotion; enforcing eligibility requirements for jobs, and advising administrative officers on personnel methods and policies. Bergsman states that courses he took at Junior college "contributed significantly" to his knowledge and understanding of social sciences, which he believes are important for anyone in public administration. His brother, Eugene J.

Bergsman, also a Junior college graduate, is assistant prosecutor in St. Clair county. In Research Work Adinoff, who holds the doctor of philosophy degree from University of Chicago, is engaged there in synthetic rubber research. During his eight years of undergraduate and graduate work, Adinoff received six scholarships, including one from Port Huron board of education. Writing from that background.

Adinoff states that his "personal Small Radios Cash for your small radio does not have to be in working condition. Set may have broken cabinet, or may be one for which you cannot secure tubes.
