i WASHINGTON, D. C.—Women At War Week, opening Nov. 22, during
which women will seek to sell the greatest single week’s volume of.Wai
Bonds and Stamps will serve to put the spotlight on’ the mighty contribu
tion womeW generally are making toward financing the war.
Six million women are on War Savings payroll platis. Their monthly
deductions total $70,000,000. *
The customers of 300,000 newspa
per boys who have sold more than
$50,000,000 in War Bonds and Stamps
are mostly women.
Volunteer saleswomen run nearly
all the Bond booths in theatres from
Maine to California. They also are
sparking the War Bond sales in re
tail stores.
Ralph G. Bngelsman, Associate
Field Director of the payroll savings
section of the War Savings Staff,
readily admits that without the sup
port of women the phenomenal rec
ord of payroll savings enrollments
would not have been achieved. Pay
roll savings plans are now in opera
tion in 148,000 businesses and fac
tories. Employees of twenty-five
thousand of these firms are convert
ing at least 10 percent of gross pay
rolls into War Bonds every payday.
Associate Field Director Engels
man says that women haye contrib
uted directly and indirectly toward
this record. When a man devoted 10
or more percent of his pay envelope
to War bonds, the woman at home
has had a powerful voice in the de
cision. Her planning, her economies
and her cheerfulness play tjieir part
in the success of payroll savings.
The Treasury Department is count
ing upon this woman influence in its
current campaign to “top that 10
i percent by New Year’s.” By the
Ifcst of the yepr the Treasury hopes
fro enroll at least 3,000,000 women
workers in a payroll savings plan
