Ordinary J. R. Lunsford Hoads
Organisation to Solicit Pledges to
Buy Bonds.
Thursday afternoon, April 30th,
citizens of Taylor county held an
organization meeting for the Na
tional War Board drive to begin
May 10. Hon. J. R. Lunsford,
County Ordinary, presided as chair
man. This county is one of 27 with
regional headquarters at Macon.
Mr. Lee Trimble, Secretary of the
Macon Chamber of Commerce, and
Dr. W. G. Lee, chairman of the
Board of Directors of the First Na
tional Bank and Trust Company of
Macon, met with the local group to
explain the organization and the
methods of procedure for the corps
of workers.
Dr. Lee recited several reasons
why Americans are requested to
buy Bonds.
In the first place our government
needs funds to finance the war.
We have no choice; we have to pay
for the war we are fighting. We
do, however, have a choice in the
method used to raise the money.
We can lend the money our gov
ernment needs by buying bonds
or we can furnish it in taxes.
In the second place, the far
sighted statesmen who direct our
government, plan that the Ameri
can people shall have these bonds
in reserve like a savings account
when the war ends and when
widespread adjustments must be
made .
In the third place, our buying
bonds freely, willingly and in large
amounts, will have its psychologi
cal effect on our enemies. It will
show that we are a united and
aroused people and that we are
supporting our government in
whole-hearted fashion. It will have

Taylor County Young Man
Makes High Rating In
United States Army
(By a Friend)
Mr. Joseph B. Barfield, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Bronze Barfield, went In
to an U. S. Army Camp in Septem
ber, 1940. He weis first stationed at
Anderson, Ala. He remained there
four months and was transferred to
Camp Wheeler in Macon.
His friends and relatives here re
ceived word that he performed all
his duties excellently and made
good in behavior. When we get
word like this it make us feel proud
of Taylor county as well as of the
youth from here. When the of
ficers saw that he was doing his
best in every respect, they gave him
the rating of Corporal.
This did not make him stop try
ing harder for a higher rating, but
made him want to do more in or
der to go higher and also to be a
better fighter for his country. He
went in with the determination to
make good and in the end * If he
keeps pushing higher,) he will
have won high recognition in the
services of his country .
When he was given the rating of
Corporal, he set his head to then
make Sergeant. He worked for
months with this goal in mind. A
few days ago his officer walked up
to him and said, "Barfield, your
services have been rendered well
enough to give you rating of Ser
geant. That did not cause him to
want to stop at just having the rat
ing of Sergeant, but he has the
determination to make one of the
best soldiers In the Camp.
If all the boys that go into Camp
could have this determination, it
would not only be* better for the

which he Is connected pays.
Last, the government Is selling
this issue of bonds as an experi
ment. If this bond drive Is success
ful the government will continue to
raise money by this method. In
other words we are given the op
portunity to say whether we wish
to lend our money to the govern
ment to finanec the present war
or to pay It to the government in
taxes.
The organization of the Taylor
County Corps of workers, as sug
gested by Dr. Lee and Mr. Trimble
will be military In form. Mr. Luns
ford will head the corps as major.
He will appoint captains and lieu
tenants. The staff of the AAA will
canvas the rural districts. The Wo
man's Club and the U. D. C. will
conduct the drive in Reynolds while
the Legion Auxiliary and the Gar
den Club have accepted the re
sponsibility for Butler. Plans were
made also for the Bibb Mills com
munity.
No money, it was explained, will
be paid to persons canvassing, on
ly pledges signed. These pladges
will not be promissory notes that
could be sued, or, in any sense,
legal obligations. They will, how
ever be binding moral obligations
that no person would wish to
break.
The bonds themselves will be
bought at the postoffices and banks
either weekly or monthly as most
convenient for*the signers of the
pledges, or even in one lump sum
in the fall. Every home in the
county will be visited and every
member of every family will be re
quested to do all he can. This coun
ty's quota is tthree thousand dol
lars. Let us hope to oversubscribe
it many fold.
