STAMP DRIVE
Fletcher and Trammell Lend In
f1uence to FlOrida's Ener-
getic Campaign.
EVERY CITIZEN
SHOULD LEND $40
State Director Hopes State Will
Repeat Past Records
for Government.

Jacksonville. June 15.-(Specfal)-
Senator Duncan u. Fletcher and Sen
ator Park Trammen are both vitality
interested In F1orida's showing In the
War Savings drive which is being con-
Quoted over the entire nation and
which eliminates on June 28th- They
are particularly interested because the
war savings plan represents more
especially the participation of every
citizen in every state than does the
Liberty Loan. and Florida is on the
same footing and buying on the same
basis as many of the weather. states.
The quota for the state Is s22,660,0o0.
which means that each man. woman
and child IN the state is assessed to
lend the government $40.
State Director J. F. c. Grfggs today
received the following kilograms from
Senator Fletcher and Senator Tram
NELL, both of which came entirely IN
solicited:
This message is rompted by my
very deep interest In the success of
the intensive war savings campaign
eliminating on National War Savings
Day, June 28th. You and your CO.
workers are charged with a most i'm
portant and patriotic responsibility. I
sincerely trust that your efforts may
be so successful that the evening of
June 2Sth will find no citizen of Flor
Ida unenIisted In this nationally i'm
portant movement"
THE unusual attention which the
war savings campaign Is attracting at
Washington prompts me to say that
hope our state Is working hard so
that its full quota may be pledged by
June 2Sth, National War Savings Day.
We cannot afford to allow other states
which are certainly no more patriotic
than ours to be ahead OF ours In this
movement. I feel sure that you and
your co-workers will no doubt find our
people realize that II Is their duty TO
save and to pledge the full quota dur
ing this nationally important cam
paign."
News comes from all states OF the
union that great intensity il being ap-
piled to the war savings campaign and
the Florida senators are ealous OF the
splendid record that their state made
in the Liberty Loan drives. Recently,
both of them expressed a desire to
come here and assist in any way pos
sfble In putting the state "over the
top" but they were assured by the
administration heads that their ser
vices were decidedly more necessary
in Washington at this critical time.
and in view Of this they sent the en-
couraging word to the army Of war
savings workers IN Florida.
