Tabulation on Third Liberty Loa;a
Shows $465, 800 Received Through
Headquarters - Believed That
More Than Enough to Make up
100000 Was Pledged Direct-El-
lott Banner District of County.
When the Third Liberty Loan was
| announced there were many persons
who honestly were in doubt as to
whether or not Dorchester's full quo
ia could be raised, and probably the
| most pleased persons in the county
are those who were fearful. Those,
| however, who were familiar with the
resources of the county were never
| in doubt of its ability to swing it's
| quota, particularly if the people
| awoke to the fact that it was their
! loan and not that of a few people.
| The real trouble in all such matters,
| that is, matters affecting public well
| fare, is to make every person realize
| that it is HIS OR HER DUTY, HIS
OR HER JOB, HIS OR HER PAR
! TICULAR INTEREST, that is at
| stake. The average man or woman
is too apt to leave it to someone
else" which is an attempt to evade
personal responsibility" The rails
ing of these loans and all other mat
tiers in connection with the success
full prosecution of the war, the War
Savings Stamps, the Red Cross, the
Young Mems Christian Association,
the Knights of Columbus, and all of
these things are PERSONAL, and
the man or woman who attempts to
evade or shift the responsibility up
on someone else, who attempts to
take $50 or 800 bond, or make
contribution of SIS or $40 or $25, or
$50, when he or she can and should
take twice or three or four times as
| much, is Stacker of the worst type,
and is unworthy of the traditions of
American manhood and womanhood
or of the protection of the country.
The first object of those in charge
of the Third Liberty Loan campaign
in the county was to reach and work
every section, to let and expect every
portion of the county to do its full
part; those in charge of the campaign
felt that while there might be a few
individuals in the county who loved
their dollars better than their God
or their country, that such persons
were few indeed, and that SO out of
every 100 of the people would well
come the opportunity of helping to |
support the government and helping
to sustain the cause of liberty in the |
world, and the results showed that
they were correct. or course, there
are some people who have not yet |
become su1tlclently enlightened or
I
educated as TO understanding tnat
they must make some personal,
Individual sacrihces IN order to 90
