It will be conducted by the War Finance Committee in- stead of the War Bavings Staff and Victory Loan Committee as was the case in earlier drives. The new or- ganization is divided by State boun- daries instead of by Federal Reserve Districts. But most important to the average citizen, the quota for the Third War Loan drive in Centre county is $2.550000, with no pur- chases of bonds by commercial banks. In plain words the $15,000,000 na- tionwide quota for the drive means held that every individual in the county in Altoona and: who earns a wage or draws an in- come or has accumulated Jvnds must invest, if he possibly can, in at least one extra $100 War Bond in Septem- ber. That means an extra $100 bond in addition to whatever regular pur- chases the individual is making. It means ‘hat the equivalent of approximately two weeks wages ex- tra must be invested in Var Bonds during the month of September It means for most Centre county families paring every expense to the bone and converting the money, saved into War Bonds. The Centre County War Finance Committee is headed by Claude G Alkens, of State College, who was chairman of the former War Bav- ings Staff and who with Mahlon K.| Robb of Bellefonte, was co-chairman jof the Victory Loan Committee | Bellefonte as s00n- as ‘Paul McKelvey, 35, For-! former Nettie Lynn, of Edendale an————— ROCKVIEW 10 GET BIG FOOD DR £50,000 Dehydration Plant Being Erected; Capacity 30 Tons Daily A $50000 dehydration plant under m Rockview Peniten- eventually process more y $1,000,000 worth of dried foods institutional needs, the of Property and Sup- discloses this annually for Department plies at Harrisburg werk The plant, reported to be the first of its kind bullt by a state govern- ment, will be compieted in the next 30 to 80 days, declared Paul 8.
