AIDS ARE READY TO SERVE
Appointees Will Give the Movement
Both Time and Energy - Director
States Aims Much Is Expected
of Kenosha County.

Neither the presence of snow nor the
absence of coal has impeded the pro-
gress of the national thrift campaign
in Kenosha, as is evidenced by the
fact that the county is now completely
organized for War-Savings Week or
any other activities designed to aid
Uncle Sam in saving the change and
winning the war. Despite unprece-
denied interruptions of every kind, G.
G. Brown, War-Savings Director for
Kenosha County, has named his sub
sidiary committees and is now ready
to enlist the patriots of the corsnty i'll
the government s latest project for fin
ancing the war.
"We believe in the War-Savings
idea" said Mr.. Brown this morning,
'Fand we mean to make as many con-
verts in Ke1osha as there are people
who really appreciate a good PROPOSE
ton when they see it. Our purpose is
to persuade loyalists of all ages to
help themselves and their country by
starting thrift cards We realize that
the habit once begun will grow on
every one Of them until Kenosha will
be contributing a liberal sum to the
War-Savings fund of the United
States"
The deputies appointed by Mr..
Brown are all individuals of the same
conviction and the same determine
ton. Realizing that thrift stamps
needed further exploitation in this
community they have volunteered to
give the movement their time and en-
ergy in the hope that they may Gear
ry the message" to others not as yet
convinced of the merits of the system
and thereby increase the number of war
savings patriots in Kenosha county.
To that end they have pledged their
services to Mr.. Brown and the Stars
and Stripes and are now in readiness
for the first action of the big drive
scheduled to begin on February 3rd.
AS War-Savings Director for Keno
sha county, Mr. Brown will initiate
and generally supervise the work of
the various committees His expert
ence as chairman of the Liberty Loan
Campaign has made him admirably
qualified for the similar activities of
the new movement and given him an
edge, perhaps, on the directors in the
neighboring counties. AS conse-

her sister-c communities, which do not
