Reaching 5205,000,000
Total
With 600,000 Georgia school chil
dren waging a militant October
campaign and the .state’s huge con
tingent of American Legionnaires
and auxiliaries mobilizing for an
all-out offensive in November,
Georgia has surged past the $205,-
000,000 mark in September’s Third
\\ ar Bond drive, ranking first in
Dixi* and fourth throughout the
nation in over-subscribing its
quota,
Griffin Editor, who heads Legion**
November War Bond drive.
Fourteen of the state’s sixteen
bond districts and ninety-eight out
of 159 counties were already over
the top as Georgians bought bonds
at a clip representing 149% of a
$1.17,000,000 quota. Weary tabulat
ors forecast that final returns
would add another $5,000,000 to a
national over-subscription hovering
around the $18,500,000,000 level as
this report went to press.
Dade County Leads
The First District, with Lowndes
and Ware leading a twelve-county
South Georgia parade, ranked first
in Crackerland’s success story,
buying $8,001,302 worth of bonds
against a $3,706,600 quota for a
lusty 232 percentage figure. The
Sixteenth district, Fulton and De-
Kalb counties, ran second, buying
nearly $114,000,000 worth, or
177%. These were the only two
districts in which every county ex
ceeded its goal.
Tiny Dade county, at Georgia’*
extreme northwest mountain boun
dary, headed the county honor roll
with a rousing 800% response to a
$2,100 quota. Ben Hill, with 215%;
Brooks, 207%; Echols, 390%;
Lowndes, 360%; Banks, 490%;
Pickens, 240%; Coweta, 266%;
Fayette and Chattahoochee, 200%;
Coweta, 266%; Quitman, 460%,
and Putnam, 248%, were other
county standouts.
First In Dixie
Only West Virginia, 173%;
Maryland, 166%, and Ohio, 154%,
topped Georgia, percentage-wise.
Georgia is leading all 48 states as
to individual bond purchases. Sis
ter states in Dixie trailed Geor
gia’s 149% as follows: Florida,
130%; Alabama, 127%; Tennessee,
126%; North Carolina and Vir
ginia, 122%; South Carolina,
121%; Mississippi, 117%; Ken
tucky, 108%, and Louisiana, 107%,
Georgia’s showing on the all
important E bonds the people’s
bonds was not as heartening,
however, in comparison with her
southern neighbors. Dixie's Empire
State did no better than tie for
fifth place with North Carolina
with 66% of its E-bond quota, Mis
sissippi achieving 93%; Tennessee,
77%; Louisiana, 75%; Kentucky
and Alabama, 70%; South Caro
lina and Virginia, 63%, and Flor
ida, 62%.
Stair Praises Georgians
“This will stand as a magnifi
cent patriotic triumph in Georgia
annals,” said Charles A. Stair, of
Atlanta, prominent telephone exec
utive serving as chairman of the
state’s War Finance Committee,
who dire%ed the gigantic effort as
one of thousands of volunteer
workers. “Most Georgians seemed
to be either selling bonds or buy
ing bonds, or both, and the combi
nation hit a big jackpot of loyalty
and common-sense.
“And this thing is going to go on
•ontinuously, day after day, until
the Axis is smashed and our boys
come home to a sound and prosper
ous America, made so by our peo
ple’s wise investments in the safest
security on earth,” Chairman Stair
continued, adding that he had high
hopes of improvement in E-bond
purchases through the work of
Georgia school children this month
and the Legion’s drive in Novem
ber.
Legion Gels Going
Clarke Luke, of Ocilla, State
Commander of the American Le
gion, has announced the appoint
! ment of Quimby Melton, Editor of
the Griffin News, and nationally
I conspicuous Legionnaire, to head
j the World War 1 organization’s
November campaign by some 30,-
I 000 veteran members and women
j auxiliaries.
“We’re going to stage a benefl
| cent blitzkrieg to reach our $lO,-
I 000,000 objective in time to cele
brate another Georgia victory on
Armistice Day, November 11,” said
Mr. Melton “We have a tough
chore ahead to beat last year’s rec
ord, when Jackson Dick, of Atlan
. ta, as State Commander, and Ed
| gar Dunlap, of Gainesville, as
I Campaign Chairman, beat their \
| $9,000,000 quota by $2,300,000
but we’re going to do it, and do it
j quicker.”
Chairman Melton has designated
Roy Harris, of Augusta; DcLacy
Allen, of Albany, and Scott Can
dler, of Decatur, as regional vice
chairmen, and will appoint a leader
for the Savannah and Columbus
areas shortly.
Thirteenth District Record

E. P. Newhard, of Perry, is chair
man, and who was called into serv

Keeping the Vitamins
Chemists report that if you wrap
green vegetables in a damp cloth
or paper before placing them in ice
boxes, they will be kept rich in vita
mins A and C. Otherwise, vitamins
are lost with evaporation of moisture
in the vegetable.
