5th WAR LOAN
UNDER WAY
Special Events Planned
for State

Maryland's Fifth War Loan, sched
uled to open officially on June IL and
continue through July 8, is well under
way with all erganizational plans
completed and committees at werk on
a Statewide basis. w. Bladen Lown-
des, Chairman of the Maryland War
Finance Committee has announced the
names of State regional and county
chairman and the quotas which have
been accepted by the various counties
and Baltimore City. Maryland's share
of the national quota of 16 billion dol
lars is 228 million-an increase of 81
million over the Fourth War Loan
goal. Mr.. Lowndes pointed out that
while Maryland's efforts would be di-
rected toward making the overall
quota, special emphasis would be laid
on increasing purchases of the sc"
Bond. He explained that $49,00O,00O
of the 1928 million must be raised in
"E" Bond sales exclusively. 'This
particular goal" Mr.. Lowndes added,
sis a matter of individual participa-
ton, pure and simple. The "E" Bond
is the peoples Bond, and each individ-
ual Marylander must accept this re-
sponsibility to meet the "E" Bond
quota. Maybe this is a tough job for
us, but we must realize that this is
the toughest and most critical stage
of the war;"
Louis F. Calm, State Publicity

way to send a travelling army show
throughout the counties. Colonel
James P. Wharton, Public Relations
Officer of the Third Service Command
