These figures were an nounced early this week by I. G. ’ Campen, chairman if the Chowan' County War Finance Committee, and ; were released at a regional meeting ! held in Washington, N. on Sun day, which was attended by Mr. Campen. The amounts are somewhat less than the Fifth War Loan, when Chowan’s overall quota was- $426,000 and the Series E. quota was $93,000. Chowan County has net failed to j meet any of the War Loan quotas thus far, and Mr. Canipen is very ; optimistic that Chowan will again come through on the Sixth War Loan, i Though the amount to be rasied is somewhat smaller, Mr. Campen real izes that a great deal of effort will : be necessary and for that reason has called a meeting of all War Bond workers to be held Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock, at the Municipal Build ing, when plans will be made for a campaign. The drive is scheduled to begin j November 20th, and continue until December 16th, but Mr. Campen ex presses the hope that Chowan County will not be obliged to wait until the final hours of the drive to reach its quota.
