1--WE have set about organizing 3D.
500 or 10000 War Savings Societies
as the backbone Of tho American
thrift movement in this district said
Mr.. Rogers. after a week Of rather
intensive effort, we have organized
probably 1000 societies. This is not
getting results fast enough. and 1t is
not In keeping with the usual patri-
otto response made to Government re-
guests by the loyal people Of this dis
trict. Unless. the organization Of
these societies Is speeded up, we Will
have to resort to some other means
Of impressing upon the people the need
Of thrift and the absolute necessity
Of buying these smaller Government
securities" 49, &EN %4

r A. Must Have Support. r III
"The fact remains. however. that
tho United States Government must
have the moral and financial support
Of all Its citizens II tits to finish Its
war job. Everybody must spend
wisely. save and buy Government Sc
eurities. Reports we get convince US
that men. women and children are be-
ginning to realize this fact and to get
back on the job.
ut Is the business of every loyal
American to do everything possible
Snd cooperate in every possible way
with the local War Savings Organiza-
lion in the work OF organizing societ-
les and selling stamps. This district
will never be satisfied to make a
poorer showing than the people in
other parts Of the country in this de-
partment Of financing the Government
and benefiting themselves by forming
habits of thrift. Our good name and
cur future prosperity depends upon
u. and we know that the majority OF
the people in the Ninth District are
aelther short-sighted nor unpatriotic.
They are not cutters and we know
they will do their share In finishing
the job. The only thing we are anx.
sous to impress upon them Is that they
must begin NOW"
