est In the Work

| Interest in war savings stamps in
Josephine county Is asserting itself
Stamp sales are increasing CORE,
spondingly and the month OF April
bids fair to carry OF the honors fol
the months to date. Before the first
OF May the sales in Josephine coun.
ty will have passed the $4,000
mark. $4,000 OF which has been
disposed OF through the Grants Pass
sales stations. the other S. 900 be-
ing distributed through the post Of
fices throughout the county.
Some OF the outside districts have
been showing keen interest in the
stamp sales. while in others there
seems to be lack Of proper interest
In the work and II Is the intention OF
the county executive committee to
put into execution at an early date
a plan that will force interest where
such action seems necessary.
The Boy Scouts. churches. schools,
lodges and kindred organizations
have been doing a big work In the
sales OF war saving stamps. but It is
not proper that the work should
be shouldered by a fe. The sue
cess OF the campaign will be deter
mined through the interest shown
by the individual. Those in position
to purchase stamps should not wait
for committees to hunt them up.
This all takes time. and Unnecessary
effort should be eliminated wherever
possible.
To reach all II will be necessary to
organize war savings clubs and So
cieties and in communities where
these have not already been form
ed the matter should be attended to
at once. Two hundred and twenty
thousand dollars is the amount al
lotted to this county to secure
through the sale OF war savings
stamps before the close of the year,
and to secure this amount will re-
quire vast amount of individual as
we'll as organized effort
To further stimulate interest in
the work c. N. Wonnacot assistant
state director will visit Grants Pass
on Monday, April 22. The morning
will be given up to visiting the
schools as far as possible and II Is
the hope of the local committee that
