WAYNE CHIEF ISSUES
APPEAL TO CITIZENS
TO PUT LOAN over

An urgent appeal to citizens OF
Wayne county to keep on buying Vic.
tory bonds until the county is absolu-
tely and surely victor in the Victory
loan campaign, was issued Saturday
afternoon by County Chairman Lewis
G. Reynolds.
DO not get the idea that this cam
paign is closed" said Reynolds. THE
latest county totals, corrected to Sat.
urday morning, show a total Of only
$1,339,650, actually and absolutely
subscribed. Wayne county is still far
short of her quota.
Many of the counties of the state
have finished their campaign, gone
into the victory column and gone back
to their usual pursuits. Wayne Is one
of the richest and most prosperous
counties in the state, and there Is nc
reason why she should remain back
while counties far smaller and poorer
have raised their quota.
Keep on buying! Buy until II
hurts. This loan is just as necessary
as any of the other four, and we can
not stop short of complete victory"
Reynolds said that his township
committees reported satisfactory pro
gress Saturday, but would not make
any report until late in the evening
He gave the city total as $7S9, 400, and
the county, outside of Wayne town
ship, as having raised $550,250.
