Drive To Boost Sale j
Os Bonds Is Planned
A home front army of 60.000 Georg
ians will take the field on May 1 in a
ten-day campaign to enlist every in
come-receiver in the state as a steady
purchaser of War Savings Stamps and
Bonds, Marion Allen, admiistrator of
the Treasury Departments War Sav
ings Staff for Georgia announced
yesterday.
During that period, Mr Allen said,
the members of this citizen army of
voiynteer “Minute Men” will knock
the floor of every home in Georgia to
secure the pledge of every person
who receives an income that he will
buy War Savings Stamps and Bonds
r<n a regular purchase plan as long as
the war lasts, or as long as his fi-
Tianees permit.
• The pledges,” said Mr. Allen, “are
to be made voluntarily, and no ma
chinery will be set up to collect the
amounts premised. Instead ayery pled
ger will take upon himself the ’•esppn
sibility of buying the amount of bonds
and stamps he has promised to buy
The campaign is based on fajth
alone —faith that Arericans are eag.j
er to kelp defend their freedom and
that they' will not shirk.
The purpose of the campaign is to :
enable the Government to know how
much income jt can expect when it 1
starts figuring <’’ut how to meet the
future costs of war, Mr. Allen said.
“Thus, with some knowledge of
what income may be expected from

the sale of stamps and bonds, the
government can place long-range ord
ers, speed production, build up home
defenses and keep the war materials
steadily flowing to our fighting men
overseas.
“The pledge campaign will reveal
how much additional money must be
raised from taxes. The greater the to
tal pledged, of course, the less the bur
den of taxiation that will be neces
sary.
“Nobody’ will be coerced into sign
ing a pledge. No one wll be asked to
pledge themselves to invst more than
they can afford. In the eyes of the
govenment the man who says he will
buy a ten-cent saving stamp a week,
and keeps his pledge, is participating
in the plan as much as the man who
can afford to invest a hundred times
as much.
“The pledge is also confidential.
The Minute Man who will knock on
your door is required to keep secret
the amount of your pledge.
“Nor is the pledge an “order” for
bonds or stamps. The Minute Man
cannot accept money, nor take an or
der for bonds or stamps.
“The pledge will also be signed by
persans w’ho are already buying stamp
and bonds because one purpose of the
campaign is to find out how many
people are already participating’.
There is a space on the pledge card
where the signer may indicate what
purchase plan he is already using.
The pledge campaign is the most
far reaching effort to reach all the
people of the county ever made by the
government with the exception of the
national census, Mr. Alien said.
“To carry on the canvass in the 159
counties of Georgia," he continued,
“more than sixty thousand patriotic
men and women have volunteered to
work without pay and without thanks,
except the gratitude of their govern
ment. until the job is done.

Jakin Boy Was On
Torpedoed Tanker
Roscoe Williams, son of R. A. Wil
liams of Jakin, and a seaman in the

the guest of his father for a few days
leave.
Williams was aboard a U. S. tank

a cargo of 47,000 barrels of oil and !

which no doubt prevented the loss ofi
the ship and all aboard.

i territory, in fact, delinquent loans *
: here are almost zero.
