SITES announces
= the good news that Dauphin
county the past week surpassed
Philadelphia in the sale of War Saw
ings Stamps per capita. But we have
no reason to become "chesty'' over
that. We are still far enough be-
hind in this line of war endeavor to
cause us to blush for shame.
The quota of the county for the
year is s3.000.000 and We are still
beneath the 100000 mark; s2,s0O,-
900 to go and less than FIVE months
in which to do it.
If we are to do our share and go
''over the top" in this movement as
we have in all others. we must begin
to buy War Stamps in three times
the amounts we have been putting
into them and keep it up until the
end of the year.
If we don't do that Dauphin coun-
ty will be classed among those that
have failed to do their part.
