Corsages Boost Virginia War Stamp Sales . Women and girls of Virginia are doing much to increase the sale of war savings stamps while at the same time providing attractive accessories for W' 11-dressed women and men. Victory corsages and bou tonnieres, which combine war savings stamps A-ith artificial flower materials, are the explanation as shown in the above pictures. (1) Members of the Junior Red Cross assemble the corsages. (2) Miss Jean Hume of Norfolk sells a war stamp to a sailor at a retail store booth where corsages are also sold (3) This is a close up view of a complete corsage. (4) Mrs. George Sloane of Warrenton, state chairman of the women s war savings committee, wears one of the corsages with nine 10-cent stamps and which sells for one dollar. * STAMP NO. 8 IS NOT A BONUS STAMP Good For Five Pounds Of Sugar For 10-Week Period But No Bonus Beginning August 23rd and un til midnight October 31st, stamp No. 8 in War Ration Book No. 2 will be good at any time for five pounds of sugar. The stamp val ue will permit merchants to sell in five, ten, and twenty-five pound packages of sugar which are now in the hands of refineries, whole salers, and retailers. This will e liminate temporarily the necessity for repacking sugar into smaller units. uqo icv/tnu^ vcij cx.yv.iy said: “There is a drop of blood in every pound of sugar we eat.” That is literaly true. Two-thirds of the sugar we use is shipped ' from other countries and that means of course that the ships bringing the sugar here are sub ject to submarine sinkings, and, at the same time, these ships are used when they are very much needed to carry war supplies to our boys on the fighting front. For that reason every one of us should be willing to undergo the little sacrifice we have to make in the curtailment in the use of sugar. We know that everyone in North Carolina will gladly coop erate in our effort to conserve our sugar supply. HALIFAX Corporal George B. Rogers, Hunter Field, Savannah, Ga., ac companied by Pfc.
