Appeal for Honest Redemption
of w. S. S. Pledges

The County Central Committee
of w. S. S. is making a final APP
peal for the honest redemption
Of War Savings Pledges.
Chairman Pond is In receipt
of a letter from State Chairman
James w. Collins who urges, in
the strongest language possible,
that the citizens of Box Elder
county do their duty and redeem
every pledge made to purchase
War Savings Stamps. The anx-
iety Of Chairman Collins is eq-
ualed by Chairman Pond who
feels 1t will be q crying shame
for this great county to fail In
this matter. Some people have
been met up with who frankly
declare that since the war Is
over they don't see the necessity
of purchasing War Stamps de-
spite the fact that they have
signed their names to the pledge
card. This attitude is most
reprehensible. for the govern
ment has long since contracted
to spend the money to be raised
by this means. The army must
be maintained In France; the
boys must be brought back
home: the various departments
of the government must con-
tinue in operation and It all re-
quires money. II we refuse to
lend our money at q good rate OF
interest, the government has the
authority to levy a tax and II
that is done, our money will 60
and never return and there wont
be any interest coupons either.
The people of Box Elder coun-
ty will be blessed just to the ex-
tent that they invest In these
government loans. Many mer
have saved money this year by
purchasing stamps and bonds
who never saved before In al
their lives. No man needs
sympathy for investing in these
loans; they are the best In the
world and a blessing to him.
But Box Elder will never be
satisfied II she fails to go lover
the top" In the redemption of her
w. s. s. Pledges. BY the same
promises, no single individual
will feel comfortable In his con-
science II he excuses himself
from fulfilling his pledge. Every
man must come through and
make a clear record.
Those of you who find II diff
ficult to meet the obligation of
redeeming your pledges, may go
to the bank and borrow the
money. giving the stamps as Sc
curity, and at the end of ten
may cash the War Savings Ger
tificates at the Post Office. This
is permissible and entirely hon
orable, but the suggestion is Of
fered only as a final means to
get the county "over," for the
County Chairman and HIS COM
mittee do not desire the humili-
alton of having to report that
Box Elder county FAILED.
This the final appeal to work.
ers and citizens alike. We want
our county to be In the honor
column. It's up to you.
