Show Prospects Are Better For Bond Drive Quota Bond sales in Bingham Canyon Can-yon are approximating the quota set for the Fourth War Loan drive, according to figures released re-leased from First Security bank, Bingham post office and Chris T. Praggastis (Ahepa lodge), local lo-cal issuing agents. Issuing value of sales during the drive (since January 1, 1944) I now amount to $108,961.25, which is nearing the $120,000 expected to be sold in Bingham apart from quotas set the employees of mining companies. Following is the statement and report of W. Russell Anderson, chairman of the Bingham district dis-trict Fourth War Loan campaign: "Bingham will never surrender! surrend-er! Our fighting men are watching watch-ing us and waiting to hear that Bingham has made its quota. "There are over 500 fighting men from this very mining camp expecting to hear the welcome word that we have made our quota. "They may not talk about it. Neither do they talk about their chance of coming back. And there's a connection all right. They're risking their lives for you. Listen to Secretary of War Stimson, himself: 'Every bond you purchase helps to protect and save from the missiles of their enemies the lives of American men who are fighting for you. You will never have a clearer or better opportunity of saving American Hie by the investment of your money.' "This is the progress of the Bingham battle to date: City of Bingham quota $120,000; purchases purch-ases $108,901.25; Utah Copper employees quota $228,000; purchases purch-ases $76,000; AS&R employees quota $5000; purchases $1,200; National Tunnel and Mines quota $12,000; purchases $5,800; U. S. employees (Bingham) quota $35,-000; $35,-000; purchases $2,000; Utah Construction Con-struction Employees quota $19,-000; $19,-000; purchases $3000; U. S. Employees Em-ployees (Lark) quota $41,600; purchases $2600." o |
