LOCAL MILLS LAUNCH
VICTORY BOND
DRIVE AMONG WORKERS
Sale Of Defense
Bonds Started In
All Four Mills
Plans are underway in Roanoke
Rapids mill industries for a Vic
tory Bond Drive, during which all
employees of the Roanoke, Rose
mary and Patterson mills will be
sold, voluntarily, defense savings
bonds and stamps, officials of the
three mills have announced.
Plans for the drive call for the
worker’s authorization to the com
pany by whom he or she is em
ployed to deduct a certain amount
from his weekly or monthly pay
check to go toward the purchase
of defense savings bonds and
stamps for himself or for any
member of the worker’s family.
Letters were mailed to each
member of the organization of
the three mill companies here this
week urging employees to give
their consent to the purchase of
bonds and stamps through the plan
drawn up by officials of the three
companies. A portion of the let
ter reads as follows:
“Believing that every member of
our organization would like to
have a part in the Defense Pro
gram, this company has provided
a plan of voluntary, systematic
savings, available to all who will
participate. The plan is simple.
You authorize the company to de
duct from your weekly pay-check
whatever amount you feel that
you can save and invest each week.
This amount will be deducted and
regularly credited to your indi
vidual Defense Savings Bond ac
count, Each time a total of $18.75
is accumulated the Company will
purchase a $25.00 Defense Sav
ings Bond which will be registered
in your name and delivered to you.
"Your country needs your help.
Your money will be put to work
at once in the National Defense
Program to protect the safety and
the freedom of the United States
of America. At the same time you
will be building up a savings re
serve that may be found to be very
helpful or needed by yourself and
your family in the hard times
which may be expected to follow
this war. In helping your country
you will, at the same time, be
building the habit of saving which
is the bed-rock of security.”
Attached to each card mailed to
an employee was a pay-roll allot
ment authorization card, which the
employee was to fill out an<^ re'
turn to company headquarters in
the event he wished to participate
in the savings plan.
Officials of all three mill com
panies expressed the hope that ev
ery employee would participate in
the plan, both for their own ben
efit as well as for the amount of
funds the plan will make available
to the Defense Program.

THE MARCH OF DIMES
Just a little dime wondering what
it could do,
Another came along and then
there were two.
Two little dimes out on a spree,
They looked around and then there
were three.
Three little dimes, looking for
more,
They found one and that made
four.
Four little dimes on a big drive
Picked up one and then there
were five.
Five little dimes doing a few
tricks—
Another joined the group and that,
made six.
Six little dimes wishing they were
eleven,
One came along and that made
seven.
Seven little dimes marching
through the State,
Puled in one and then there were
eight.
Eight little dimes, marching in
line,
Another joined in and that made
nine.
Nine little dimes keeping out of
sin—
Another came along and then
there were ten.
Ten little dimes all in a row,
United they stand to fight the foe.
Ten shining dimes who had a lot
of fun
So that some helpless child could
again walk and run.
