! Considerable criticism Is being heapcti
upon the Ohio county Liberty Loan
executive committee. duo to the fact that
! the Roy Scouts will not participate in
! the loan drive this campaign. and many
! people. particularly the parents Of some
! of the scouts. are Inclined TO think the
boys are being Disseminated against.
This. however. is not the case. The
reason the committee ruled out the
| scouts was the Same that applied to all
, other organizations that worked in pre-
! viuus loans and that was-to get the
Stacker.
In former campaigns many people told
! the solicitors, we arc going to buy from
our lodge. we are going TO buy from
the scouts, VIC are going TO buy from
the Elks. or we are going TO buy from
the womens committee, and then they
failed to buy from anyone and got by
with this camouflaEe. There was no
way for the committee to get their nm
| gers on these people and they could not
, stop the practice. with the result that
many escaped buying bonds.
In order to get these people the OK
ecutirc committee formed the present
organization and eliminated all organi-
cations from the sale OF bonds, the
, Scouts included They SO arranged mat
tcrs that persons could only buy bonds
from three sources-frcm the banks.
from the solicitors or from 4 plant in
which they were working. and then only
if tho Alaut employed loo or moro men.
This action was absolutely essen tial
to tho success OF the loan. and II was
with the greatest regret that tn: COM
mittce was forced to eliminate the

previous loans was recognized. but it
had to DO done to get the Stacker.
Tho committee feels that this plan
will he a success. and that the Scouts
will b. indirectly responsible for selling
, more bonds By staying out than il they
were in. and II seems that the criticism
Of the committee comes from parents
who arc thinking moro Of the boy than
Of the success Of the loan. a little
thoughtful considc ration nf the present
working plan will convince most any
ono OF its actual value

which arc particularly pertinent ut this
time.
After dwelling some length on per
Sonal matters. he said:
II trust the Fourth Liberty Loan will
be bigger SUCCESS than the others.
There Is no reason why those who can
afford the bonds should pass them ur.
