II. L. Slusher, chairman of the Ora
d. county Liberty loan committee
has completed the draft of the organ
ization that is to put the next Lib
erty loan over the top. A million de
tails are yet to be worked out, which
is the reason for the early prepara
tions.
The plans under which the com
mittee will operate are along the
lines of the Council of Defense. That
is, there will be one general head in
the county, assisted first by an exec
utive committee. These headquar-
ters will work out the general out
line which will be passed along to
the cogs in the organization for exc
cution. 1t is obvious that one man
cannot attend to all the detail and
operation of the horde of precinct
committees, hence the appointment
of the Grady County Liberty Loan
Executive committee, which body
will work in conjunction with Mr..
Slusher in the direction of the cam
paign.
The executive committee appointed
by the county chairman Is composed
of the following Chickasha people;
Mornan Shepard, o. c. Cooper, c. M.
HolIingsworth, T. A. Bird, Mrs. Grin
Ashton, Mrs. VIM Inman, Rev. By
ron Hester, Alger Melton, Judge VIII
Linn, M. F. Courtney. In addition,
the following men from over the
county will serve on the committees;
L. w. Long, Rush Springs; Floyd
Kimble, Tuttle; Claude Britain,
Verden; ]. B. Pope, Minco Ben
Vaughn, Alex; A. H. Smiley, Laver-
ty; R. A. Thompson, Ninnekah.
In speaking of the work, Mr..
Slusher said, "The instruction that
we have received from headquarters
and under which we will work call
for what is probably the most extern
sive organization ever perfected in
the county. When the campaign
opens on April 6, everyone will know
exactly what is expected and will be
fully acquainted with the manner Of
procedure. 1t will be a blanket or
ganization, extending absolutely to
every corner of the county. No one
or no section will be overlooked in
the operation of the drive.
"The direction will be under the
county chairman assisted by the ex-
ecutive committee. l have appointed
precinct chairmen, who in turn will
appoint the precinct committees to
work wit hthem. Thus the entire
county will be covered by a network
Of organizations, all having the same
end In view and working under che
direction of the central office. This
office will carry out the directions
OF the state heads who are carrying
out the plans of the national cammn
tee. This great organization starts
with the nation and extends to every
precinct.
April is the anniversary OF
Americas entrance into the war, and
on tina tday the drive will start. We
are now working out plans for a gen
eral celebration for the day. More
properly speaking, celebrations fol
the larger towns of the county, wind
ing up with monster spectacle t
