The town of Bennington is within
striking distance of remarkable
record that of doubling its quota for
the Fourth Liberty Loan. The total
OF sales and subscriptions today is
S672,000. To double the towns quota
additional contributions OF only S32.-
600 would be required during the re.
mainder of the week.
Bennington has made a wonderful
showing in the present campaign and
the community has every reason TO
be proud of the result. The commit.
tee would feel just a bit happier, how
ever, If the number of subscribers
could be increased In this respect
. Bennington has not equalled its re-
cord in the Third Liberty Loan drive
If that remaining $4,000 required to
secure double quota subscription
could be obtained in $50 and 800
pledges and sales, it would make the
towns record complete and satisfac
