RENEW STATE VS.. S. CAMPAIGN
State Director Scott and His Co-Work-
ers to Push Sale of Thrift Stamps

State Director Scott and His Co-Work-
ers to Push Sale of Thrift Stamps
The War Savings campaign-the
sale of Thrift Stamps and War Saw
ings Stamps-has been resumed with
vigor and the campaign is to be
pushed, now that the Liberty Loan
drive is over. Workers in the cam
paign realize that the recent drive for
the sale of Bonds of large denomina-
tion has given the impression that
the War Savings Stamps are not in
tended for people of large means.
Henry P Scott, State Director, has
issued the following statement in an
effort to correct this impression: "a
misunderstanding has gotten abroad
of the purpose of the Government in
issuing War Savings Stamps. They
are not intended solely for the invest
ment of people of small means. 1t
is just as much the duty of people Of
large means to save, economize, and
buy War Savings Stamps TO the limit
the law provides. The war is being
financed by Taxes, Liberty Bonds,
War Savings Stamps. All loyal
| people must support all three agencies.
Unless people of large means save,
economize, and buy or pledge to bu!
War Savings Stamps to the $1,000
limit, Delsware's quota of $40 pei
capita can not be reached. We cal
upon all Delawareans to give enthusi
astic support to this great nationa
means of winning the war" Della
ware is expected to reach her quot
of $40 per capita before the end o
the year. To do this the purchase o
these stamps must be regular, spas
modic purchases will not answer.

SPUR THRIFT IF
 COMP ANY FORCE

One hundred thrift cards with 10 thrift stamps were purchased re- gently by the Southwestern Con- tracting company. and were present. ed to the 100 employees of the com pany who have organized themselves into a Thrift club. R. l.. Ballinger. who was instrumental in organizing the club and who is the secretary and treasurer of the company, was elected the secretary and treasurer of the club. The 100 stamps were for the value of 25 cents. each, and one was pasted upon each card. This is a start and an incentive for further saving, which it is hoped will be continued.
 The national thrift committee has recommended the formation of such clubs in as many institutions and firms as possible. The benefits de- rived from the buying of thrift stamps are many so it is claimed. Besides cultivating a habit for saw ing, it furnishes a meals whereby the small investor may invest his savings and draw interest, and at the same time it lends great finan- cial aid to the government.
 The club formed by the. employees of the Southeastern Contracting company is the first organization of it's kind in the state and now that the movement has been started, il 1 is the hope of the state and county
