Show 7th War Loan Drive Commences West Millard E Bond Quota Set at $135,000 The costliest month of the war to date was March, 1945, and no a-batement a-batement is in sight even with the fall of Germany. Failure to raise as much money in two war bond drives this year as was subscribed in three last year could nullify the anti-inflationary accomplishments of the past six drives. These warnings from Ted R. Gamble, national war bond director, direc-tor, still rang in the ears of nearly 300 Utah war bond leaders, including includ-ing 29 county chairmen, as they prepared this week to "kick-off" the Mighty Seventh War Loan on Monday, May 14. In most counties, E bond quotas are at least doubled and the stimulus stim-ulus of a war bond queen contest has been popularly seized to augment aug-ment the only proven means o selling war bonds, namely, personal person-al contact- house- to- house, farm-to- farm, store- to- store. The drive opens Monday and continues through June 30 with a $20,000,000 E quota as the primary stale goal; an $8,000,00 other-than-E quota next and a $13,000,000 corporation cor-poration and public funds quota set back for concentrated effort starting June 18. County quotas for the Seventh War Loan were announced by Charles L. Smith, s.tate war bond chairman, giving Millard County a quota as follows: E Bonbs, $248,200; other than E bonds, $27,000; public funds, 16,000; corporations, $54,000; making a grand total in the County Coun-ty of $345,200.
