r HUWAY FAIR ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY VICTORY BOND DRIVE STARTED MONDAY 29 12 Counties Already Passed Their Quota Drive Being Led By D. R. Mauney, Sr., Chairman of the Seven Previous War Loan Drives Here. % WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—The $11,000,000,000 victory loan drive—to pay the war costs that outlived the conflict—got under way today with at least 12 coun ties throughout the nation report ing they had surpassed their quo tas on the opening day. Earlier in the day President Truman bought the first of the new' $200 “E" bonds, honoring the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In radio addresses prepared for delivery at 10:30 o'clock, eastern standard time, tonight, Secretary of the Treasury Vinson and Veter ans Administrator Omar Bradley urged wholehearted support for the last of the loan campaigns. Bradley said that “the end of the war did not end the cost, ot “The disabled must be cared for and returned to productive lines," Bradley said in listing some of the causes to which the victory loan funds will go. “The dependents of those who died are entitled to the care of the nation. “There are more than 50,000 veterans now receiving education. •’1 or vocational training and ose in training now are nothing mpared to what may be expect .1 in the future. Applications for study or training are now’ coming into the educational divison at the rate of more than 2,000 a day. “All of the provisions of the “G. I." Bill of Rights must be paid for and it is to carry on this work that all of us are being ask ed to buy victory bonds.” Vinson added to Bradley’s list the obligations to be met as a re sult of the cancellation of wrai contracts, and concluded: “Finally, Americans will buy bonds because in doing so they will help avert the dangers of in flation. This is the last time the government is calling upon the people to buy extra bonds.” Robert B. Rudisill Given 'Bronze Star Robert B. Rudisill, Gunner’s Mate Third Class, U. S.
