official the selection Of John e. Norman,
his successor.
Mr.. Archer sent the following letter
from his headquarters at Huntington:
To the People Of West Virginia.:
Because of the pressure Of my own
business and my duties in the bank or
which I am cashier and the fact that
my physician insisted that my activities
should DO somewhat curtailed. I have
been compelled to retire from the post of
state director of war savings / did
SO with regret on shall continue TO be
deeply Interested in the success of the
var savings movement in West Virginia
and throughout the land.
Early in my experience as state
director OF war savings, 1 associated
with myself, Mr.. John L. Norman. who
came first in the capacity of educational
director. He proved an invaluable aide
throughout 1918 and since the first OF
the year he has been in charge OF the
detailed affairs of the organization as
assistant state director. II Is matter
of sincere pleasure to me that he has
been appointed as state director In my
stead. / feel that no better choice could
have been made and that the thrift
campaign will flourish under his hand
MY sentiments arc shared by Mr.. Al
bert S. tombstone Of Richmond. director
Of the war loan organization, who has ca
pcctations of the highest order for West
Virginia's war savings campaign under
the management of Mr. Norman.
In closing. I wish to thank all the
loyal and efficient workers who assisted
me in the war savings campaign. especi-
ally the county chairmcn and the loyal
mon, women and children of their or
CARNATIONS. 7 feel that good seed has
been sown in West Virginia in the thrift
campaign and that by no means all of ii
has fallen on stoney ground. l bcspeas
for Mr.. Norman the continued cn-opcra-
ton of the workers. and urge upon the
people my firm belief that the future
greatness Of the nation depends largely
on their intelligent practice of thrift.
They will. l know. contribute their past
toward tho payment of the great war
debt; I hope much OF tho contribution
may be made through the practice ot
thrift and tho purchase of war saving
stamps which have always held TO he
the most acceptable form Of government
security for the savings investor
With renewed thanks for the loyal
support accorded me during my service
in this work. I remain
Yours very truly.
