As the physical examinations had to be conducted by nr. l'cndor alone, no other physicians having been appointed ias his assistants, it wns round impossible to complete all today and men from ou t of town were callc>d first In order to allow them to leave for their homes today, a!l they would be <1uarlered at tho Gov<'rnmenrs expense If held ovN. Results of the physical examlnal1cns are not to be announced until reviowE'd by th<' board later. lt is expected that:-4~~, ante will be appointed work of examining as otherwise it will bill c nsldeiabJi time to complete" th~ list.

Mr. Lyford sald that Portsmouth h ad prospered in a greater measi:re t,y the war than any other city in the slate with the possible exception of :Manchester, which, through her !urge n:111s has been awarded some valuable army contracts. Other speakers at the meeting were c'llayor Samuel T. Ladd, who ()resiclell, Rev. L. H. Thayer, D. W. Bactger, "Dill" Reed, former Harvard fo<?tball st ar a nd coach, Col. John I I. Dartlett, and John K. Bates. The band from the U. S. S. Monti:na opened the evening with a short concert In ";-.1arket square ancl later rendered several numbers In the hall. Motion ptc'tures of tho review or the .Atlo.ntlc fleet In New York' harbor by President WIison wore also shown, adding a jlatrlotlc touch to the meutiog. One big point brought out by the tnllcs was tho fact that Portsmou th was not taking hold of this bond Is8118 as It did on the first issue anJ the en'ort w!IJ be made by the com1Litteo to speed u1> subscriptions. · Mr. Lyford presented a number of new facts In connection wl~h the value or the loan, Its worth from a })nlrlotlc standpoint, and the method ot taking up the bonds from current ei,rnlngs rather than from i1avlngs. · Ho urged that JlCOple taking out bMldS do so from their earnings as a 'duty and not withdraw from their savings accounts money that is al- rrady bei~g used to produce some in:come. Ile also pointed to the fact that an efrort was being made to have subllcrlbers taking bon1s on a partial payment plan to make their paymenti, within three months rather than at $ l a week on $60 bonds as was followed In the tlrst lni;tance. Col. Lyford delivered a very convlncing and Interesting address on the value of the bond as an investment, paying 4 %: with the entire goyernmont of tho United States !lS its surety making It one of the safest Investments which could be ~ecured Im the country today. In addition lo its value as a i;at'e Investment, he said, It was the duty or e·,ery cllizcn to take up as much of the Joan as ho was able to carry in order to back up the men of the country who are daily going O\'Crijeas to fight for the per-pctual ion 01 .l.me1 ican jlrinci11fes anoCI to mak o th o countr) :incl the wor~cl a :1ar,, Jllacc In which to live. \Tnyoi· Ladd 01n•n 1cd the ineoling as tho presiding officer :rnd said th11t through talks wllil the bank officials ill the city ho wa~ convfn'ced that Portsmouth was not at present doing her share In the Joan. He said that hu hoi\cd T'ort:1niouth citizens would rome to time and largely over-subsuibo hei· allotment of $800,000, addiug that he had perfect faith in Portsmouth that she would do so. • l•'ollowlng Col. Lyford Mayor Ladd 11,troducecl the Rev. L. H. Thayer, D. D., as the third speaker.,· Dr. Thaym said tbat he did not ·.· consider that any man purchasing · a bond of thlis loan was making any great sacrifice as his money was only being loaned t,, the government at a rate or lnte1:est higher than he would receive rr,,111 the average savings bank, makin1, .It 01:e of the sarest and best paying Invet;tments possible. He urg~d th.c people to take up tho loan as theiir one means or doing their duty and helping to l\ght the world battl.e against mllltary rule and despoti11m. I Dr. Thayer called attention to tho fact th at d u,lng the first three years ot tho war It was the fleets or Great Drltain and France which had protected the United States from the awful ravages of war and he asked them to picture the rate of this countn· Hhould E:ngland nnd l"rnnce be doft.ated on tho Western front and then Britain's great naval fleet be wiped out. The success of the Liberty Joan, he said, would hel1> prevent this happening. \ WiJJiam ("D!IJ") Reed, former Harvard football star and .coach,_ was presented nttcr Dr. Thayer. Mr. llee!d ts• giving up his entire limo to tho Liberty Loan campaign with the llllme energy which ho dlspl,ayed for years on the gridiron. In his opinion, he said, it simply a question or whether the pco1>le of the United States , wan t ed tl> back up President Wilson in his statement that this war was ,a battlet.:i~'~ for the liberty of the world. He oi,ened by stating that everybody who subscribes to a Liberty was going to get full value for his money and was not making any great si:crlll'Co In following only what was his duty. . He quoted Dr. Hillis In calllng attentlon to some of the cruelties and atrocities followed by the German armlo~ as proved by sworn stater.ients and photographs secured by Dr. Hillis In his two .years spent In the war zone. He also said that there were but two ways In which a gove~nment could' raise money, through a loan or by taxation. If the Liberty t :'tiil!."1.">"'I'. Loan failed, he said, 'the money must 'Jc secured by direct taxes which must !>e paid by the people so that tl.e greater success gained by the 1,,an tho less taxes will i>e levied. Col. Bartlett was called to address the meeting, but said he would make n<. lengthy talk owing to the lateness of the hour. He asked that :'\fr. Bates might t-ako his time and give a bri1,! outline of the plan 1adopted b\' the committee tor the. hanpllng of tiie loan in Portsmquth. Mr. Dates, chairman or the Jo.cal Liberty Loan committee, said that no_one plan had been adop.ted In sUPJJQi-~ or .!he cam,algn but that t he several sub-com1mittees were working out ,the questlon in various ways, each handling .the problem as they thought· best. He announcecl that an effort was helng n~ade Lo secure Senator Hollls to acldress Lho navy yard workmen at the vard on the bond Issue early next ;veek. 'fhe last speaker of the was D. ,v.

Scrapbooks World War II World War I Description An account of the resource Between 1918 and 1949 staff members of the Portsmouth Public Library clipped articles from The Portsmouth Herald and other newspapers and glued them into 42 scrapbooks. The articles they selected for these scrapbooks covered such world changing events as WWI and WWII, as well as local concerns, such as news of an upcoming garden tour, a new movie by Louis DeRochemont, layoffs at the Navy Yard, or the election of the first city manager in Portsmouth. In short, these scrapbooks provide us with a fascinating (if somewhat subjective) view of life in Portsmouth — and the world beyond — before 1950. <br /><br />To make the scrapbooks easier to use, a <a href="https://portsmouthexhibits.org/items/show/4252" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">master index</a> was compiled in 1997, utilizing each separate scrapbook index. The subject entry listed refers you to a scrapbook by volume number and year. You must consult the index included in each separate scrapbook to locate the page number for a particular article. Because subject headings varied somewhat, from scrapbook to scrapbook, there has been some attempt to standardize the subject terms used. In addition, "see" and "see also" entries have been added to the master index.<br /><br />Due to the heavy use this collection has received over the years, and to the fragile nature of newspapers, the scrapbooks have shown signs of deterioration. Fortunately, grants received from The Thaxter Foundation in 1998-1999 permitted the library to have preservation photocopies made of this valuable collection. -Sarah Hartwell, Special Collections Librarian, February 1999<br /><br />To view a complete scrapbook, click the PDF name below the image.
