! retailers’ slogan, “SAY YES.” A drive is underway for Americans to buy
additional War Stamps to fill albums and convert them into War Bonds.
ASHINGTON, D. C.—The na-
tion’s retailers from the tiniest
hamlets to the mighty cities are act-
! ing as a spearhead in a great Treas-
| ury Department campaign to sell
the additional War Savings Stamps
| needed to fill more than 100,000,000
"albums now in the hands of the
' American people.
| According to a report released by
the Treasury Department today,
' sales of War Savings Stamps totaled
| $559,777,000 for the period from May
1, 1941, through November, 1942,
Stamp sales have risen from less
than three million dollars per month
| when they were first introduced to
| the public to an average of more
| than fifty million dollars per month
| at the present time.
War Stamp Sales Over
Half Billion Dollars,
Album Drive Opens
The Treasury’s slogan, “A half-
U. S. Treasury photo
Appealing Margaret C. Russell of the War Savings Staff tacks up this
It pictures
filled album is like a halfgequipped
soldier,” has been adopted officially
by retailers for the campaign.
The importance of the drive is
seen in the fact that a War Bond po-
tential of nearly two billion dollars
hangs in the balance.
Every War Stamp album, con-
verted into a People’s Bond, for
which the purchaser pays $18.75 and
which matures to $25.00 value when
held for 10 years, adds its force to
the war effcrt.
The Treasury Department is
counting upon the country’s school
children to play a powerful role in
the success of the SAY YES drive.
The volume of stamp and bond sales
is at the rate of $200,000,000 for the
current school year.

Show Here
At the meeting of the Mount Joy
Community Exhibit directors on
Tuesday evening at the High school
it was decided, at the suggestion of
Mr. Lester Roberts, to hold a public
banquet on Thursday evening, Feb.
25, at Hostetter’s banquet hall.
Tickets will be sold to the public
for seventy-five cents each but a
$1.25 turkey platter will be served.
The additional fifty cents on each
ticket. will be paid from the Exhib-
it fund. It is hoped that this public
get-together of interested persons
will stimulate new interest in our
farm show and that new ideas for
future shows will be suggested.
Messrs. S. H. Horton, Lester Rob-
erts and Joseph Sheaffer were nam-
ed as the committee in charge of
the banquet arrangements.
Three directors were re-elected
at Tuesday’s meeting. They are
Harry Hauenstein, E. W. Garber
and John Roland.
The committee decided to hold
the annual exhibit this year, 1943,
but definite plans concerning it
will be made at future meetings.
There was considerable discus-
sion concerning several groups of
prize money that is awarded each
year. It is the desire of the direc-
tors to boost these cash awards in
order to make the exhibiting bigger,
better and more worth while.
Treasurer S. A. Horton reported
a balance of $444.72.
