The war savings stamp chairman has
checked up the accounts with the post
Office and finds that the drive was an UNI
qualified success in the village and union
school district comprising the north part
of the town, in which there are ~
families numbering $40 persons. The
pledges in this district amounted to
$G225. The amount bought is S6.I4O, to
which should be added 1923 bought prior
10 the drive, showing the total amount
81 90. an average of S23.4O per capita.
Pledges amounting to about 5000 have
not been kept. but it is expected they
will be redeemed in 1919 Ii the south
part of the town makes rs good Il report
relatively it having pledged considerably
more than the north end, Ncwfanc may
take a just pride in her record.
