Therefore, we solemnly pledge all our energies and all our resources to the fight for freedom and against fascism. We serve notice to all that we are personally carrying the fight to the enemy in these ways:
1. This home follows the inspections of its air raid warden in order to protect itself against attack by air.
2. This home conserves food, clothing, transportation, and health in order to hasten an increasing flow of war materials to our men at the front.
3. This home salvages essential materials, in order that they may be converted to immediate war uses.
4. This home refuses to spread rumors designed to divide our nation.
5. This home buys War Savings Bonds regularly.
We are doing these things because we know we must to WIN THIS WAR.
