Show TWO DAYS LEFT FOR COUNTIES TO HITBONDQUOTAS While the Opportunity Drive for the sale of U.S. Savings bonds is not being extended, due to banking methods, bonds sold on July 1 and 2 until the close of business on Saturday will count in the community, county and state drive quotas, Clem Schram, state director of bond sales,, announced an-nounced this week. There is a splendid opportunity yet for the state to go over the top, the fifth weekly report of the drive disclosed. The report includes all sales to June 18. On that date there were $2,784,514 in sales since May 16, leaving the state only $715,486 behind in its time quota on the basis of a six week drive. With the added days the quota may be reached. On June 18 five counties were over the top, Tooele leading with 145 per cent of a $70,000 quota. San Juan had 141 per cent on $8,000; Carbon 117 per cent on $100,000; Emery with 108 per cent of $5,000; and Uintah just over its $25,000 quota. All other counties are trailing considerably but Weber with 87 per cent on $700,000 and Salt Lake county with 80.5 per cent on $1,600,000 are the only other counties over the state average of 79.5 per cent. At the bottom of the list is Daggett with no report, Kane with 1.5 per cent of $7,500; Rich with .4 per cent of $5,000, and Piute with 3' per cent of $3,000. All are without banking connections connec-tions and all bonds are purchased purchas-ed at post offices, so no estimate can be made upon them until at least a week after the close of 1 the drive. "The intensity of effort in these last few days," Mr. Schramm declared, de-clared, "may be the difference between success and failure for the county and state in making the quota, and the volunteer bond committees are urged to continue contin-ue their sales eltorl until late Saturday afternoon. If the banks are closed bonds may be purchased purch-ased at the post offices, and they are open." |
