Sotmb lalnMB rUU. N. C AH-O-MECH Vag* 3 Imiiiwy 15.1344 Total Up To $115,0001 Drive Promises To ALL VOU HAVE INTO WAR BONDS Smash Aii Records Past records for Bosd-buytng on the post were smashed last week as every .officer, enlisted man. and civilian on the field went all out to push the Fourth War Loan Drive ever higher. With a quota nf $125,000 to meet (last Drive's quota was $100,000^ bond sales hit a total at week's end of with purchases still pouring into the Finance Office. Urged on by several large tndlvi* du^ sales, organisations all over the field met and In many cases doubled and tripled their own quotas- The Finance Department, prov ing that they know the merit of the goods they're selling, quadru pled their set limit and bought a total of $975 worth of bonds. The men of the 9th T8 Op-, working In headquarters, also quadrupled their quota as they purchased $1.- 875 In War Savings Bonds. Organisations doubling their quotas were: Hq-Hq 8q. $5J7S; 7th AAF Band. JS; Doctors (H. Det), $4,525; Avn Cadet P-TS, $17^26; Med- De tachment. $2il75; Civ Pers, Sub- Deot. $9,800. Those who more than met their quotas were: 28th AAF Band. $150; 333rd B, Hq A AB 8q. $3,325; 8S5th Sig DeC. $250; 10th T8 Op Hq. $200; 10th Ac 8q. $3,625 ; 7eth Tng Wg. $1A00: 326th Fighter Op, $1,250; 321st Fighter Op. $5,775; Civ Pers AAF $6,900. During the last War Saving: Loan Drive, the field invested s total of $174,000. with a $100,000 quota filled before the end of the time aUoted. This time, it is the desire of all concerned to see oui quoU of $125,000 filled by the 22d of the month, as in the last drive- With sales proceeding at their present tempo, this goal seems as sured. But It Is not enough to merely fill an artificial quota based on the numerical strength oi the field. In this hour of decision, when the Annies of the United Nations stand poised to strike the Invaswn blow, we here to this country mtist back the men who will head this attack. Servicemen and civilians alike, we must invest every available doltor to War Sav ings Bonds, so that our forthcom ing offensive will not fall. With that to mind, our part In the Fourth War Loan Drive must rise higher and higher, until it hits tite absolute peak of our in vestment capacity here on the field. Only then can we be assured that the soldiers ht the fighting front are being ba^ed to the lim it hy the home front ‘Yank’ Is Gi Paper All Through; WAC Finds Out Sparkling USD Shows Entertain Many Men cisy. »n A well-balanced repast of .
