Patriotic Steelton has again sup
ported the government in its drive
for money to conduct the war by go
ing "over the top" in the, Third Lib,
erty Loan drive. Although the allot
ment will be oversubscribed by a big
margin, it is not likely that the quota

shortly befo"re noon to-day by steel
company employes. The flag was pre
sented to this district by the Dauphin

•special Ceremonies took place to
mark the unfurling of the flag.
With many solicitors yet to report,
the amount subscribed at the close of
yesterday's business was $464,950. Of
this amount about $340,000 was sub
scribed by employes of the steel
plant. Up to this time there are 5,652
bond holders, a largo number of
whicli are steel plant employes.
Bank officials and committeemen
this morning were hopeftil of passing
the $500,000 and are of the.oplnlon
that this district will have reached
$600,000 when the campaign closes
on Saturday evening.
This district is made up of Steel
