Bond Campaign Lagging,
Caravan Boosts Safes
Several Georgia Counties Pass E Bond and Total Quotas
But State at Large Drops Behind
Farm rally day last Saturday was
a huge success, Army's Wac-War
Bond Caravan Is blazing a glorious
trail of bond-celling through Geor¬
gia and haK-a-million patriotic
school children will comb their
communities for unfilled War
Stamp books as the State's $129,-
000,000 Fourth War Loan drive
starts down the home-stretch this
week.
Apparently lagging when the
half-way mark was reached early
this month, the campaign’s suc¬
cess now depends upon the dili¬
gence of volunteer Workers and the
free-will response of every citizen
in doing his share toward helping
shorten the war, save lives, curb
inflation and build post-war security.
Campaign !s Lagging
Only about a third of Georgia’s
entire quota was in hand with the

cranks up that armored anti-Uink car.” Yes, it's part of the Army’s
Wac-War Bond Caravan rolling out of Fort McPherson with Corporal
Marjorie Schippers, Air War Poster Girl and Corporal Carla Means
aboard. They're off on another leg of their two-week journey selling
bonds and recruiting Wacs in thirty-five Georgia Counties. The “Colo¬
nel,” Lambdin Kay, turns up at various points on the caravan from
his busy job as Georgia Publicity Director for the War Finance
Committee.

Caravan, manned by a personnel of

fair after its first day and a half
and bade fair to swell County Bond
sales wherever it journeyed.
Jonesboro citizens, headed by O.
J. Coogler, gave the parade of mil¬
itary transport a fine start when
cash sales of E Bonds passed $25,-
000 on the first stopover. Griffin,
led by II. J. Hutchinson and Quiru-
by Melton, reported $400,000 in

Macon Gets Hot
Macon staged an all-day rally
around the Caravan’s stand on
j Cherry Street and rung up sales
well above $600,000 with Kate
Smith's appeal through the net¬
work and WMAZ helping a lot. Dr.
W. G. Lee, Macon’s champion citi¬

James G. Brown, Jr., and many oth¬

Milledgeville, under leadership
of Miller R. Bell and Joseph Moore,
did upwards of $100,000 in sales;
Eatonton, $45,000, with John L.
Adams reporting a regular circus-
day crowd; Madison reported $37,-
550 before all the money was
counted, according to Chairman W.

rain on the trip, Covington moved
into the Courthouse and did a land-

Spiritual Teachings
The Bible is a store house of
teaching that we cannot afford
to be ignorant of, and it is valu¬
able in everyday lile.
‘‘Blessed is he that readeth,
and they that hear the words
of this prophecy” (Rev. 1:3).
Those who read and study the
word of God in tho right spirit
seeking to know more of Him,
are the most blessed; for through
the eyes of faith his deeper
truths are revealed. A person has
to be born again and put on
the new life to fully digest the
words of God. Those that are
full of doubt and hindering
causes cannot grasp its full
teachings and meanings. It’s a
true old saying that “butterflies
cover more ground, but bees
gather more honey.” So lets all
try to be busy bees in the Lord’s
work.
A person does not have to be
at church to show Christianity;
it takes every day of our lives.
As a planter, some days we sow
more good deeds than on others,
and some days we make more
mistakes. I think the sin we are
ail guilty of more than any other
is the sin of ommission. It may
be just a kind word or a friendly
greeting we fail to give, or per¬
haps, a favor of some kind, or
by chance, a little advice on the
right road; a prayer and a little
scripture to help enlighten some¬
one; perhaps a bite of something

By BETTY SMITH

Hear from him much. Every¬
day? Wonderful! That flat sil¬
ver that you’re buying piece by
piece is going to help to make
a mighty fine home for him
someday. I know you can harly
wait. But you can hurry up that
day, you know. That’s right. By
buying more War Bonds.
I know you’ve bought up to
the limit already. But come on.
Buy another War Bond. Get
him home quicker. Where’s the
extra money coming from? Put
off buying some of that silver.
The dealer will say, “bless you,”
and assure you that the same
pattern will be in stock and
waiting. You can buy more of it
with the interest that bond is
earning. You’ve got the idea.
You two can buy it together.
What does he say about the
photo you sent him? He thinks
it’s pretty. You had your hair
done at the beauty salon for
that picture—a two-fifty job.
,Oh, you have it done every week?
If you did your hair yourself at
home, you could save a little
money for that extra bond,
couldn’t you now? The beauty
operator won’t mind. Most of
the time she’s too busy to take
you anyway. And you know as
well as I do that you can get
some of that money for that ex¬
tra bond by doing a lot of your
own laundring and buying a
bottle of spot remover and keep-

self. The laundry and the dry
cleaner will say, “thank you."

to eat, handed out even at your
back door, with a word of en¬
couragement. Even a question or
two might reveal some hungry
soul that needs help. It does not
matter what we give, it is the
spirit in which it is given that
counts. For, take the widow’s
mite, for example. Of it Jesus
said, “Of a truth I say unto you,
that this poor widow hath cast
in more than they all” (Luke
21:3).. The ones that gave the
big alms did so out of an a-
bundance, but the widow gave
her all in an humble spirit. “God
loveth a cheerful giver.” It is
better not to give at all as to
give begrudgingly, or for a show
to gain earthly praise.
Jesus gave His life that “who¬
soever would believe on him
might have everlasting life.” He
did not do it selfishly; He meek¬
ly said. “Thy will be done.” I’m
afraid not enough of us, when
we pray, add “thy will be done.”
If more people would submit to
God’s will it would be a better
world in which to live, and we
would be at peace more with
nation to nation and person to
person, and at peace with our¬
selves; that every day we have
done our best. Our prayerr
should also be, “Lord, give ue
clean hands and pure hearts
that we might be living witness¬
es for thee.”

Judge Townsend wishes to im¬
press upon the people of this
county that “the need for funds
is the greatest in Red Cross his¬
tory, and with its widespread
activities now being carried on
all over the world serving mem¬
bers of the armed forces and
families of many of these men
at home, many will want to sub¬
stantially increase their gifts ov¬
er previous years. In the past,
gifts for Red Cross have been
made entirely by cash during the
campaign, but this year many
will want to distribute their
payments over a period of time
and pledges may be accepted for
future payments up to Sept. 1,
1244.
Judge Townsend also asks that
the workers see as many of the
men and women employed out of
the county before March 1st, if
possible, and secure their con¬
tribution, otherwise, a great
number of them will contribute
in Chattanooga. Red Cross offi¬
cials have agreed that every
dollar contributed out of our
county to other chapters will
have to be returned but this
necessitates a lot of trouble on
our part and he is asking all of
our citizens to contribute at
home. Don’t wait for someone
to approach you and solicit your
contribution; send it to the vol¬
unteer worker in your neigh¬
borhood, or mail directly to Judge
Townsend at Wildwood.
