Will Centre county meet its Fourth War Loan Drive quota?
Claude G. Alkens, of State College, chairman of
War Finance Committee, who is In a position to know
believes the quota will be met-—but only if everyone helps
the County
the facts
Here is Mr. Alkens’ full reply to the question
We ‘home front folks’ are in the midst of the Fourth Drive
This War Loan has Been designated by Mr. Henry Morgenthau,
Jr. Secretary of the United States Treasury, as a personal one for
citizens at home. He is asking Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public to put
across this loan for the sake of ourselves, for the war, for the future,
and for our future prosperity and integrity
“It Is necessary for us to accept this challenge of the Treasury
Department. It is not only the patriotic duty of every individual
to go the limit in lending funds to the Government, but we should
also each intensify our efforts in arousing our friends and neighbors
to lend their funds to the United States Government. This is the
people's drive and our service men amd the world are watching us
The success or fallure of it depends ENTIRELY upon our individual
attitude and patriotism
“How about Centre county? Our quota is $1.943.000. Of this
amount we, as private individuals, (farmers, factory workers, college
professors, miners, carpenters, masons, barbers, bankers, shopkeep-
ers clerks, service men, retired folks, ete.) are to purchase $1.286.700
worth of whatever kind we wish, A total of $666,300 has been allo-
cated to be purchased by corporations, clubs, societies, ete, of Centre
county. Banks are not permitted to purchase to make up the quota
for this Fourth War Loan drive.
“During the Third War Loan there were over 17,000 separate
bands 30 In SMBS County Ly, and they were not sold by the banks
the War Finance Committee of Centre county-~they were sold
Carre eounty who volunteered their services to
pil A as salesmen for the United States Govern-
ment, I am t that the Fourth War Loan will be even more
successful than Third.”
