County War Bond Sale Nearly 2011 Of Fifth Loan Quota Drive Closed Last Sat urday; E Bond Sales Still Under Way War bond .sales in l'eru,uimans County, at the close of the Fifth War Loan last Saturday, amounted to $rl.T2,.'i!)2..r0, according to R. M. Riddick, chairman of the Perquimans War Finance Committee, who pointed out these sales were almost two iiun dred per cent of the county's Fifth War Loan quota of $267,0(10. This county is one of the few coun ties of the State to reach its quota in the sales of V. bonds. Local resi dents had purchased $7(,Ki',4 worth of K bonds up to the close of business Saturday. The county quota was $74,000. However, Mr. Riddick dis closed that all K bonds sold during the balance of this month will count toward the county's record during the Fifth War Loan and he urged the public to continue to buy K bonds in order to aid the national goal, which at the present time is slightly behind the quota. In releasing the final figures on the sale of bonds during the drive, Mr. Ridick and members of the com mittee expressed their thanks and appreciation to the people of Per quimans County for the splendid co operation shown in making it possi ble for the county to again success l fully meet its war bond goal. The j chairman said: "The people of the : county have established a record that I can be pointed to with pride. During the five drives Perquimans has rank ' ed among the first .counties to o j over the top in lending money for l the war effort." ' One correction was noted in the list of purchasers of bonds during j the rally held two weeks ago. This newspaper published the Hertford j Cafe as ibeing the highest bidder i during the rally. The purchaser of the bonds should have read Sarondis Metaxas. He made the highest bid on any one article offered at the auction. Winners of the prizes ofiered by the committee for sales made during the drive will be announced just as soon as the committee can make a complete tally of all applications and sales are recorded during the Fifth War Loan, Mr. Riddick stated.
