"Go Over the Top" Says Governor Bickett Over 22,000 organized worn .en in North Carolina pledged t snake the War Savings Cam paign of this State "go over the top" before the end of this year was the feature of the last meeting of the War Savings Institute held in Raleigh on Wednesday of last week. Fou rteen thousand of these wom en are engaged or organized farm women who are pledged by Mrs. Jane S. McKinnon, State home demonstration agent. The remaining 8,000 were the club women of the State whose pledge was given by Mrs. Clarence A. Johnson, president of the State Federa tion of Women's Clubs. Speaking for the women of the country Mrs. McKinnon said that the country women are patriotic, and that many of them were learning to save but what they needed most is to know how to invest safely their savings. Therefore Mrs. McKinnon said, the War Sav ings plan of saving and invest ing was a most welcome oppor tunity and a work the country people would enter heartily into. She b?lieved that the 250,000 or more country wom: en affiiated with the caning I and other club work in the cou ntry could be counted on to take the lesson of Thrift in ev ery home and practically eve ry person in the country. Mrs. Johnson said she con sidered this call of the Govern ment to the club women of the State at this time a tesf of their efficiency. For eight years they have been organiz ed for civic consciousuess and that their experience in organ izing and working together would particularly qualify them for this work, mat tne club women of the State will not fail at this supreme hour was Mrs. Johnson's message. The work of organizing War Savings Societies particulaly the plan of converting existing organizations into War Sav ings Societies was endorsed by both groups of women and this will be the first work that the organized women in the State will take up. The next sixty days wil be a campaign to get every citizen of this State into a War Savings Society. This plan of saving, investing and getting others to save has al ready been adopted by State and National authorities as the foundation and purpose of the War Savings Campaign. M Tto NM Mtev ?
