Group Directors and County chairmen To Be Assisted By Men Who By Systematic Canvass Are Putting
 Counties Over the Top.
Little Rock

Little Rock
 Arkansas must raise $10,000,000 more in pledges to complete its quo la of $35,000,000 which the govern ment is expecting this state to raise by the sale of War Savings Stamps. A general campaign has been made and reports show that pledges to date aggregate only $25, 100000 Some coun- ties have pledged more than their quotas, but others have fallen short
 State Director Moorhead Wright of Little Rock has decided that every county can be put over the top by a vigorous follow-up campaign, organ 1zed so as to reach every individual wherever he may be, who has not pledged up to his full means, and ne has organized a flying squadron of trained men, including the field work CTS who were active in the recent ". $. S. campaign, and several chairmen who have raised the quotas for their own counties.
 This force will be placed at the dis posal of each group director for as- signment to work in the counties or parts of counties in the group that may be delinquent, the local work to be under the more direct supervision of the county chairman. Where it is necessary the county chairman may make a new apportionment Of the county's quotas among the townships or school districts, increasing them when the wealth of the population permits and decreasing them where the people are not able to meet their quotas.
 This follow up and readjustment plan has been tried out successfully dn several counties with remarkable success. In one county, which has a quota of $554,0 only $145,000 was pledged in the June 2Sth drive. Later one of Director Wrights field men and the county chairman worked out a plan for reapportionment of the school district quotas, made a whirl- wind campaign of the delinquent dis tricts and the re-canvass put the county over the top. This the plan now to be followed in all other coun- ties.
 The flying squadron started out Monday for "mopping up" campaign in Group No. 2, under the supervision of Group Director Charles G. Henry of Newport. This group is composed of Baxter, Cleboune, Fulton, 1nde- pendence, Izard, Jackson, Lawrence, Marion, Randolph. Sharp, Stone, White and Woodruff counties.
 Among those to assist in this emer- eency work are Geo. R. Wyman, Bruce Ramsey and H. F. H. Eberts of State Director Wright's regula. field force, and R. s. Granger of Har- rison, F. O. Cogbill of Wynne, and J. Walker Morrow of Forrest City, vol unteer workers who have answered the call made upon them because Of the efficient work done by them in their own counties.
 After completing the work in Group No. 1 the flying squadron will be as signed to some other group and the follow-up plan will be carried in to ev- cry county until the states full quota of $35000,000 is raised and the stamps sold.
