The figures on the War Savings
Stamp Drive for Paw Paw township
are not available. Returns are COM

should and will purchase stamps
have not as yet done so. The COM

no question but that Paw Paw will
reach the quota when the returns
are all in. We hope to give the
figures for the entire county in the
next issue.
