Buy an Additional
Bond Today
$1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE
VOLUME XXVII.
Bond Sales Are
Only $15,845 With
Only A Week Left
With only a week remaining in the
war bond sales drive Seminole coun
ty sales had amounted to only $15,-
845.25, less than one-fourth of the
county quota of $66,500. Sales were
totaled Wednesday morning from re
ports given by the four local institu
tions selling bonds, and the figures
given are authentic.
The total this week shows an in
crease of only SO,OOO in bonds pur
chased during the past week, with the
local committee contacting people
daily urging them to buy bonds.
Bank deposits locally are the high
est in the history of the county, but
the response to the appeal to buy
bonds has met with little response,
the sales made representing only a
few individuals.
It is pointed out by the committee
that almost every citizen in the coun
ty can buy a bond if they are willing
to back up our nation and our boys
in service. There’s no question about
the loyalty and patriotism of the peo
ple of Seminole county, but many
seem slow to realize what buying a
bond means to our country now. For
us to fall short of meeting our quota
in this drive would be a blot on the
record of Seminole county which every
loyal citizen would regret.
With only a few more days to meet
our quota, the time for concerted ac
tion is now at hand and every citizen
should personally take an interest in
t drive by buying al) the bonds he
can and by encouraging his friends,
neighbors and everyone of his ac
quaintance to buy bonds now.
TMs week /Sirs. J. ,3. -Thomas ac
cepted the chairmanship of the Wo
" mWi Divi® of .the Saving.
Staff for Seminole county. Mrs.
Thomas’ work will be among the la
dies and she expects to contact many
of them in the next few days to se
cure pledges to buy bonds. The local
committee is planning a drive next
•week to contact many whom they ex
pect to buy bonds, however the com
mittee is composed of busy men and
it is urged that everyone buy bonds
now, and save the committee leaving
their work and taking the time to call
on prospective purchasers.
Let’s all get behind the drive, first
buy all you can and then urge others
to buy.

F. D. R. To Use
Building Here
To Complete Term
Supt. N. P. Malcom of the Seminole
: County Schools stated this week that
I arrangements had been completed for
the F. D. R. school to complete its
term with the use of the local school
building after the Donalsonville school
has completed its regular term.
The Donalsonville school term will
end on May 31st and the F. I). R.
; children will be brought to the local
school in buses for completion of the
five weeks remaining in their term
which ended abruptly last week when
i the school structure was destroyed by
fire.
Meanwhile Supt. Maleom ns wet Ic
ed out a plan which he will submit to
the trustees at a meeting to be held
| at an early date to construct a tem
porary building to be used for the
■ duration, after which a new building
will be constructed if possible with
WPA assistance.
The building would be only tempo
rary, but the material used would be
erected in a manner that it could be
used in the construction of a new
plant after the war.
The insurance permitted on the
building would not replace the struc
ture now, Mr. Malcom pointed out,
and a saving to the taxpayers would
result in waiting until the war is
over and material and labor will be
easier to obtain.
