fuses to support the government ac-
cording to his ability in all of its eff
forts to finance the war, and we will
undertake to report such persons to
the federal authorities and to furnish
proper evidence of their failure to
participate in war activities" :.
War savings pledge cards will be
compared with the quota cards made
out and filed alphabetically by the
women; and cases in which the quo
ia was not met will be investigated
by the Minute Men.

rapidly as possible.
Everyone is urged to remember
that pledges made may be met at any
time between now and January first
and that they are supposed to repre-
sent not only money to be invested
but actual savings of money that
would have been spent in pre-war-
days.
