Comment On
7th Loan

Ill GVNIl
With the near approach Of the
Seventh War Loan, News reporter
has interviewed several Lincoln
men and women, asking them to
give in few words, special mes
sage to our readers regarding to
coming loan.
County chairman, Jessie S. Fag-
erberg remarked:
There are a lot of lazy dollars
in America. Some of them are neat
ly folded in safe deposit boxes.
Others are stuffed in old cans or
slipped into the mattress. And
some are represented by big check
ing accounts that the owner doesn't
need for his regular business.
Wherever they are these lazy dol
lars are not helping win the war.
They are not earning a penny in
terest for their owners.
"A recent bulletin from the State
War Finance Committee shows that
Lincoln County has sold Is per
cent of its quota during the first
month of the Seventh Drive. You
can help the local committee by
being ready when called upon, or
better still, save them the time
by going to them. Let's have our
quota made by June 6, the Ami
versary of D Day in Europe"
]. A. Krall, chairman for the
city of Libby was next interviewed.
His statement follows.
