Quartz Crystal
Wanted By WPB
Residents of Western North
Carolina were urged today by
James E. MacDougall. Carolinas
manager of the War Production
Board, to seek out deposits of
quartz crystal.
"We must have quartz crystal
oscillators for use in radio sets for
tanks, airplanes and ships." said
Mr. MacDoug-all. "and yet our im
ports are threatened because of
interruptions to shipping. Brazil
has been our largest source of
supply, but geologists have dis- j
covered that extensive deposits
exist in Western North Carolina."
As much as $20,000 a ton is paid
for certain crystals, and persons
locating deposits will not only
profit themselves but will also
help the war effort. Anyone know
ing of available crystals should
communicate at once with the
Miscellaneous Minerals Branch.

78 Percent Of
Americans Are
Buying War Bonds
A recent survey by the Gallup
poll revealed that 78% of Amer
icans have brough War Bonds or
Stamps.
Reporters for the poll asked a
representative cross-section of
the oting population this ques
tion:
"Do you happen to have bought
any war bonds or stamps"
The result wks:
Yes ? 78 percent
No ? 22 percent
Dr. George H. Gallup, head of
the Institute of Public Opinion,
said the findings were splendid
testimony to the effectiveness of
the Treasury Department's War
Savings Campaign.
Seeking the answer to the fail
ure of one out of every five adult
Americans to buy War Bonds or
Stamps. Dr. Gallup made a fur
ther study and found that two
large segments of the population
? the lower income group and
farmers are responsible for
this situation.
Following is a table comparing
the purchase by the various
groups :
Middle Income & Well-to-do,
Have brought 90 percent. Have
not bought 10 percent; Lower in
come group. Have bought 68 per
cent. Have not bought 32 percent:
Farm. Have bought 71 percent.
Have not bought 29 percent; Ci
ties (10.000 or over). Have bought
81 percent. Have not bought 19
I percent.
A breakdown of the bond and
i stamp purchases by occupations
! reveals that the professional man.
j the businessman, and the white
' collar workers are well ahead of
other occupational groups in their
bond and stamp buying.
Here is the comparison by oc
cupations:
Profesional. Have bought 92
percent. Have not bought 8 per

88 percent. Have not bought 12
