Now Is Crisis In Thrift Campaign The three weeks between now and the sixth day of April from the critical period in the War Savings Campaign, declared Governor Bickett yesterday in a statement addressed to the people of the State in which he said: "It is of superlative importance to devote all the time and all the energy the people can spare from the prospection of their daily business to War Savings Stamps campaign from now until the 6th of April, when the campaign for the sale of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds begin. "The value of this war Savings cam paign to the government in the winning of the war and to the people in training them to lay aside a working capital for use after the war cannot be over esti mated," Governor Bickett continued. "I earnestly hope that all war workers will, between now and the 6th day of April, lay aside the particular work in which they are engaged and unite in giving a grand impetus to the War Sav ings campaign. For three weeks let the stamps and certificates have the right of way. If everybody will pull together to secure every pledge possible to make a monthly investment in these stamps fmm'now untrrthe end of the year we will be able to carry this movement over the top. These three weeks are the critical period in this campaign. They will determine its success of its failure. That success or failure de pends upon the number of pledges we can obtain to make monthly invest ments, and I earnestly entreat every person in the State to sign one of these pledges for a monthly investment dur ing the next three weeks. I earnestly urge all local and district officials and committees connested .with the cam paign to redouble their efforts during these three weeks, and my judgment is that if we shall go forward with untir ing zeal during this period, on the 6th day of April the goal will be in sight. Surely this is a challenge worthy of a supreme effort." Cotton Mills Co.
