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.”
