Campaign.

Pledges of support from more than
thirty citizens associations were re-
ceived last night by the Central Vic
tory Loan Committee at a meeting
called by Commissioner Louis Brown
low in the board room Of the District
Building.
Make the success of the Fifth LIB
erty Loan a community effort" Com
missioner Brownlow urged the repre-
sentatives Of the various citizens as
sociations, and promised the aid OF
the Central Loan Committee in pre-
pairing programs for rallies and loan
meetings.
Furnish Speakers
Speakers, he said, would be fur
nished at the request of the associa-
tions. but it would be more to the in
terest OF the loan II the citizens them
selves would participate in the meet
ings.
An explanation of the term note
used in this campaign instead Of the
bond" used previously. was made by
Eugene Thompson. secretary OF the
Central Liberty Loan Committee. Mr.
Thompson explained that by a tech
nicality IL the term bond" had been
used the bonds issued in the first loan
at 31a per cent could be converted into
those OF the fifth issue at ~ per cent.
America has done everything in a
big way in connection with the war;"
said Mr.. Thompson. "and this last
war loan must be tackled in a big
way. and the sooner we do il the bet
ter" He urged the associations to
hold their rallies Immediately and not
to wait until the end of the drive.
Explains Issues.
Mr.. Thompson explained that the
securities issued by the government in
the Victory Loan are termed "notss''
instead of bonds" officially. so as
to avoid a technicality Of the law
providing for the first 31-e per cent
liberty bond loan.
That law stated that the 3 1-2 per
cent bonds were convertible into any
future bond issue. II Is the desire
of the Treasury Department that none
OF the former issues shall be con-
vertible into the Victory Loan Sc
curities. which run for only four
years and bear an interest rate Of
4 3-4 per cent.
He told a story of a little boy in
Charles City. Iowa. who died while
the third loan drive was on. He
wanted to do his bit" and he call
ed his mother to his bedside before
he died and told her to feel under
his pillow. He had the money from
his little savings bank there, al
most $50.
Take it mother" he said. "and
add enough to it to buy a $50 lib
erty bond. And. mother. 1 want to
be buried in the American flag"
Can any of US afford to be less
patriotic than that little boy" Mr..
Thompson concluded.
Representatives of various asso-
Citations announced meetings would

discussed plans for house to house
canvasses in their territory.
