War Savings Stamps.
P1ainville is still far behind its |
quota of War Savings Stamps. Up to
the present time there has been only |
$4,000 worth of stamps sold, which |
is just about ne-eighth of it's quota.
Plainville must raise $4,000. The |
local stores have been requested to !
raise at least $4,000 and a big drive |
on all the customers will soon begin. |
The schools have taken an active part |
in the campaign and it is estimated |
that the children have bought about |
500 worth of stamps. Every Mon
day morning there is a special per-
loo given for the sale of stamps. The |
committee suggests that if the citi !
zens of Plainville would formulate |
the same plan that is being carried |
on in other towns the quota would |
soon be reached. The plan is that |
e@ cry person in town will give at
lease one days pay out Of fifty days. !
