December War Bond campaign plowed
1 past the half-way mark of the furrow
that ends January 1, some two weeks
before the Fourth National War I<uas
drive for $14,000,000,000 gets going.
Joe 0. Woodruff, Georgia War Rond

operative association, by buying the
County’s first Bond, out In the pine?
woods. The Associated Press snapped
the picture and it has been ftaslwst
around the world.
Mr. Kelley, active In the naval slor'or

better and more profitable when Dim

City People
City people also were hearing *r
appeal to make Bonds and Stamps
"The Christinas Present with a Wm

were being asked to pay their em
