The Bellefonte High Bchool + ar-
War-Ssvings and
Stampe. I'be week ending
April 6:h was the ‘banner’ week,
with $1080.00 to its credft.
Arrangements are now being meade
for a meeting at Bellefonte during the
coming montb, at which time the
State Director, Mr, Cassnt, and several
others in charge of the Na ional War-
Baviogs Committee, for Pennsylvanls,
will be present. The exact day and
time will be annougsced later.
List ua suggest to (hose interested in
winning this War to adopt the ** Ns-
tional Acre’ plan:
Het azide one acre of your farm to be
planted and cultivated ss the '‘ Ne-
tional Acre’’, the proceeds of which
are to be used In buying War-Savivgs
and Thrift Btampe.
The ‘"National Acre” plan has
been adopted, and is rapidly spreadivg
over Georgia and South Caroline, and
let me suggest the advisability of
every person in Centre County think-
ing seriously of, and floally adopting,
this plan. We must raise the money
with which to win this War. We
must maintain the young men whom
we send to the Front. You will be
performing a patriotic duty by loso-
ipg your money to the Government.
Qur Government has the same power
to conecript wealth ss it has to con-
script men. Let every mip, woman
and child in Centre County join io
every movement to lend money
the Government by purc aslog War-
Savings and Thrift Stam pe.
From the tabulated report of sales
above indicated, you will notice that
altbough Centre County retaips tenth
place in the Eastern District of Peonn-
sylvanis, yet we have dropped Io
weekly sales, and there are three or
four Counties within a few centa of
the amount credited to Centre County
and unless we make considerable gair
within a very short tine, we will not
be able to maintain our present stand-
ing. Tben sgain we should pot be
satisfled to stand still, We should
move toward place No, 1, but we car-
not do that uniess every man, wWoma:
and child in the County will do bis or
her patriotic duty.
Very truly yours,
W, Harrison Walker,
Chairman War-Ssvings Committee
for Centre County, Penne.
