TWO BITS FOR CM LE SAM
Close to seventeen million dollars
was the investment piled up In two
bit pieces and dollars last year in
War Savings Stamps in Oregon. With
thousand dollar limit on certifi
cates the realization grows that little
savings roll up into money. Several
counties did not sell one hundred per
cent of their allotment. In some cases
it wes due to a heavy quota and
changing conditions of population.
After all, failure to attain one hun
dred per cent, was largely due to lack
of energy in local organizations in
pushing the campaign. There is plen
ty of money in Oregon. Allowance,
too, should be made in some places
for the disruption of affairs by the
"On"; otherwise those communities

kighly organized effort.
The test part of the movement is
that Thrift is being taught by exam

when all have been received, passed
to establish their validity and com
plied, will be presented to the Ameri
