WOMEN,S LIBERTY LOAN
COMMITTEE WORKERS MEET.
Chairmen Named and Work Mapped
Out For the Campaign.

Loan Committee workers of Atlantic
County called together by Mrs. Both
we'll, Chairman of the County, was
held in Hubin's Theatre April End, and
was well attended by representative
women from all over the county. Mrs.
James Starr, Jr., Chairman of the
Third Federal Reserve Banking Dis
trict (Which includes the nine lower
counties of New Jersey, about one
third of Pennsylvania and the upper
part of Delaware), was the speaker of
the afternoon and both charmed and
thrilled her audience.
She spoke of the vast sums of mon
ey needed in order to make it posi-
BILE for our men to fight abroad. They
must have food and supplies of all
kinds. We must not think that we
have done enough when we have sent
our men and made surgical dressings.
The nation needs money and is asking
everyone to loan her not as much as
he can spare but more than he can
spare.
Mrs. Starr also spoke of the impor-
lance of holding ones bond. once it is
bought, throughout the entire period
of the war in order that the govern
ment may be able to get the greatest
possible benefit from the loan. This
does not mean that the nation is not
able and willing at any time to buy
them back. Each year the govern
ment retires five million dollars worth
of bonds and no one need feel that he
is not making a perfectly safe invest
ment.
In the second Liberty Loan drive
the children in Philadelphia raised
eight millions of dollars. Mrs. Starr
said that many parents were buying
bonds in their children's name not
only as an investment for them, but so
that they may feel that they have a
part in helping to protect their big
brothers who are fighting.
