Downtown Fort Worth reverberated with bursts of machine gun fire and the roaring motors of low-flying Navy Ferry Command planes and other ships, all a part of the observance of "Series E Bond Day". War bond booths did a rushing business at 10 street intersections in the business district. At right, Calvin Davis Campbell, 8, nephew of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. McWhirter, firing a machine gun at 7th and Houston Streets after buying bonds. Supervising next to him is Technical Sergeant Walter Safin of Camp Howze. There are 2 other soldiers standing close and other children waiting for a turn at the machine gun. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram morning edition, June 30, 1945.
