8,000 WAR ST1P
n
Eight thousand slutlons for the
sale of War Savings Thrift Stamps,
In addition to regularly authorized
Individual salea agents, are to be
established in Oregon within the
next month.
National Chairman Frank Vandor
llp has wlrod Thrift campaign head
quarters at Portland to the effect
that one million such stations are
to be established throughout the
country during the month of Janu
ary and Oregon will lose no time In
doing her part. The plan Is to have
sales station for every 100 of
papulation and to make "War Sav
ings Btamps For Sale Here" signs
so common the "dropping In" to buy
a atamp and help win the war will
become a matter of daily routine
until the habit of "Thrift" becomes
a national characteristic, just as It
is In France.
French statesmen, moreover, de
dare that it is In tact the thriftiness
of the French people that has made
possible the Republic's stand agalust
the inhunmnnnoBS of the Hun.
Charles N. Wonanott, associate
director of the Thrift Campaign In
Oregon, declares himself well satis
fied with the way things are moving.
"Every man, woman, and child In
Oregon," said Mr. Wonacott, "must
help us 'put over' Uncle Sum's new
two billion dollar 'baby bond' issue.
Oregon's share is $17,000,000 and
It means an average dally Bale of
$50,000 worth of stamps to meet
the requirement. That means a
good many 'two-bit' plecos, but we
have them and If they go for Thrift
Stamps Instead of for wasteful ex
travagances, we will come out with
flying colors."
No compilation of state figures
has been received but latest reports
on the larger cities show Portland
.In ninth place In amount of sales.
' New York City Is first. Then comes
Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Kansas
City, Pittsburg, St. Louis, Mllwaukie
and Portland. Seattle Is twenty-
ninth, Los Angeles tenth, and San
Francisco, thtrty-seoond.
Mrs. Laura Casey, of Powell
Butte, who underwent an operation
Monday, Is rapidly recovering at the
Home Hospital. Dr. Horace Bel
knap, of Portland, was the attend
log physician.
