Washington. d. c. ULNS).-A high
ly commended plan by which each indi-
vidual can establish his or her own
personal War Sacrifice Fund" to fur
ther help to win the war, while at the
same time relieving the nations eco
nomic situation, was announced here by
A. ID. Willard, Jr., manager of Radio
Station WJSN of the Columbia Broad
casting System.
Although simple in its operation, the
"WJSN Plan For 4 Personal Sacrifice
Fund" has been carefully developed,
so as to be effective both in results
for the nation and in providing a de-
finite means for patriotic individuals
to 20 beyond the normal line of duty,
voluntarily, to help win the war.
Highly placed officials of the Federal
Government, of labor and of business,
have commended the War Sacrifice
Fund" plan, which does not require
additional staff or expenditures by the
Government, existing facilities in each
local community being ample for its
successful operation.
Secretary of Labor Approves
Each person can establish his or her
own personal War Sacrifice Fund
only with sacrifice savings, beyond
legal requirements, such as taxes, and
beyond normal duty, such as investing
ten per cent of income i'm war bonds.
This can be accomplished by doing
without certain goods and services,
many of which are becoming scarce
anyway, and will become still less OBJ
tainable in the future. All money thus
saved by sacrificing normal indulgenceS
and convenienceS, would go into the
individuals own War Sacrifice Fund
for the sole purpose of investing in
additional war savings stamps and
bonds, and for contributing through
established local channels to other es-
sential war activities.
The War Sacrifice Fund" plan was
cials of many groups of citizens before
it was released, universal approval by
all people being indicated.
Speaking both as Il Government Off
cial and for the wage eurners of
America, organized and unorganiZed
Frances Perkins, L. S. Secretary of
Labor, said:
The War Sacrifice Fund offers an
opportunity for patriotic Americans to
contribute further to the war effort.
AS such ii should and will have the
support and cooperation of wage earn
ers all over the country and will be the
means of raising great sums of money
SO much needed for total war"

Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, expressed the viewpoint of the
nations business interests, when he
