Pennsylvania Launches “Pledge f for Victory’’ Every Man, Woman and Child to Sign Promise to Buy Bonds and Stamps toc Win the War While our fleet, fliers | and fighters get set for an offensive against our enemies, the people of Penn- | sylvania are prepar- | ing themselves for an : all-out, every-person . participation in a State-wide PLEDGE FOR VICTORY | for the purchase of United States | Defense Savings Bonds and Stamps. | At the President's request Penn- | sylvania’s “PLEDGE FOR VIC- TORY” will on Thursday, April 16th, enroll every man, woman and child who has any income of any sort, in- cluding the housewife who handles the house money, and the child who will buy Defense Stamps from earn- ings around home or from spending money. Pensioners and anhuitants will be asked to do their share to pay for the war and help in an early’ victory. i Never in Pennsylvania’s whole his tory has there been attempted such an approach to every family in the home. It will indeed be an all-out, every-person participation in the raising of huge funds to buy the munitions of war to equip our fight- ing men to carry a smashing offen- sive against our Nazi-Japanese- Italian enemies. Volunteers To Make Calls Under the leadership of Benjamin Ludlow, State Administrator of the U. 8. Defense Savings Staff in Penn- sylvania, more than 100,000 patriotic men and women have volunteered to visit their neighbors to ask for a “PLEDGE FOR VICTORY —a strictly moral pledge to invest in De- “fense Bonds and Stamps regularly and continuously for the duration of the war. No money will be collected. Pledges only will be asked. The “PLEDGE FOR VICTORY" will be the first call on all of the people of Pennsylvania to get behind the war effort with their dollars and their dimes—not to give, but to save and invest in the best security in the land-—the government of the United States. Until now, the energies of the Pennsylvania Defense Savings Staff have been largely devoted to enrol- ment of employes under the payroll savings plan. Now every man, wo- man and child in the State—about 10.000,000 people—will be asked to take a direct share in winning the War. Many Organizations Help In each county, a committee is or- ganizing and training hundreds of volunteer Minute Men to make house= to-house calls on their neighbors. Every school child in the State will be reached with a message from prin- cipals, teachers and fellow students. In churches throughout the State, preachers will address their congre- gations, priests will speak at mass, and rabbis will discuss the urgent need in the synagogues. Every radio station in Pennsylvania will put on sketches and brief talks. “We are going all-out to sell PLEDGE FOR VICTORY to every home in the State,” said a station manager. Billboards—2500 of them—will her- ald the important news on their big- west roadside bulletins throughout the State. Five hundred Minute Movies will tell 90 per cent of all Pennsylvania’s movie fans what the Pledge means. Because so many homes must be visited, in the city, village and on the farm, even 100,000 Minute Men may not be able to finish their calls on Thursday, April 16th. Perhaps Fri- day, even Saturday, may be required, but every home will be visited. Pennsylvania's “PLEDGE FOR VICTORY” will be the message from the folks at home to her boys on the fighting front—*“We’ll back you to the limit, We'll sign this ‘PLEDGE FOR VICTORY.” We shall not fail you.” Fire Company Added More NewMembers Fifty-four members attended the | April meeting of Friendship Fire | Company held last Thursday even- ing in the fire hall. Fire Chief Ray Myers, reported | two fires during the month, one on March ‘22, a chimney fire at Cyrus Peifer’'s in town with no damage, and the other near Green Tree church, a house owned by Jacob Garber, loss about $1,000.
