LOAN OFFICES WILL
Be CHANGED JAN. !
THRIFT HEADQUARTERS WILL
BE MOVED TO RICHMOND, VA,
ON JANUARY FIRST.
NORMAN ISSUES STATEMENT
Director Of Fifth Federal Reserve
District Explains Why Change
Is Necessary.

IAe Stdle HtduuuhIlSiS VI tht NSSt
Virginia War Loan Organization will
be moved on January l from Hunting
ton to Richmond, Va.
This announcement was made Dec.
9th by State Director John e. Normal
in letter to all school teachers, bank
ers, school children, manufacturers and
and county chairmen.
The change was made necessary be-
cause of a limited appropriation grant
ed by the Treasury Department here
after the work will be conducted
through the Richmond offices.
Thousands of school children viii be
interested in this announcement. West
Virginia now has $500 school savings
societies organized and functioning.
Hundreds of more will be organized
before the end of the school year.
The campaign will be waged N 1920
the same as during the past year, bur
the officials at Richmond Albert s.
tombstone, director, will have charge
instead of John f. Norman, of Hunt
ington.
Mr.. Norman has expressed to those
of the state who have been identified
with the work his regret that the of
flee can not be continued in this state.
He also takes advantage of the oppor-
tunity TO thank those who so nobly as
sisted him In the great work.
He realizes that at first ii will be
somewhat unhandy to continue the
thrift campaign, but after those who
have helped throughout the war and
up to the present time have become ac-
quainted with the new director and his
assistants, the thrift education in the
schools as we'll as the plants and
mines of the state, can be carried for
ward 10 successful end.
Mr.. Norman also expresses the wish
that those who can will continue their
efforts, because the work that is done
now will be harvested in good results
in the years to come.
His statement to the workers OF
West Virginia is as follows:
War Savings Office win Be Moved.
The Savings Campaign win con-
tinue during 1920 and it is hoped
that every one will put the same eff
fort into the campaign next year
that they have this. If you could
know the collective good that has
been done, l am sure that you would
be proud of the part you have play
ed in it. Each small bit of co-opera-
ton has perhaps seemed insgnifi-
cant TO you, but If you could have
been in the State office and seen ali
these small bits come together to
make up the whole, you would have
been surprised at the wonderful re-
suits.
The future citizens of West Vir-
ginia are going to put into practice
those Thrift truths you have taught
them today. They are going to
thank you for your efforts. You
have helped build better West vir-
ginia.
Beginning January, 1920, all the
workers in West Virginia will trans
fer their allegiance from the Hunt
ington office to the Richmond, Vir-
ginia, office. 1t has become neces-
sary to link West Virginia directly
to the War Loan Organization of
the Fifth Federal Reserve District
and discontinue an office In this
State.
May l ask you as a favor to me
and for the pride of your State to
continue in the work and make
West Virginia the best State in the
district. ~ s.a ia
