Show LEGION PLANS STATEWIDE BOND DRIVEINAUGUST To head up a state drive to sell at least $4,000,000 in war bonds during August, local chairmen in seventy-five communities in the state have been appointed by George Larsen, of Spanish Fork, department commander for the American Legion, and Mrs. Frank Anderson, of Salt Lake City, state president of the American Am-erican Legion auxiliary. They will serve under John M. Wallace, Wal-lace, state chairman of the drive. Heading the drive in Bingham district are Stanley W. Jacques and Mrs. Irene Brisk of American Ameri-can Legion post No. 30 and its auxiliary. To attain the goal of $4,000,000, Utah's August quota to carry on the war, each Legion and auxiliary aux-iliary member must sell or buy at least $350.00 worth of bonds in this locality, exclusive of bonds being purchased regularly on the payroll plan. That means that every idle dollar, every cent spent wastefully must be lent to the government, according to State Chairman Wallace. It will be returned to the lender with interest added after the war. Plans for the local bond drive will be announced by the local chairmen. They will include a house-to-house or person-to-person canvass of all in the locality. Those intending to purchase bonds are urged to do so early before August 5 so the local chairman may report the highest sum possible on August 7 at the Legion department convention in Vernal. An attempt will be made locally to reach the local quota by that time, bringing distinction to the local legion and its auxiliary. aux-iliary. All bonds purchased locally will count for the legion quota whether purchased from a legionnaire legion-naire or auxiliary or not. The cooperation of the public with the veterans of the first world war is solicited. O |
