Mass Meetings to JJe Held In Every
Schoolhouse in State Jane
28 for Purposes of Sub
scribing Quotas.
A small square of perforated Breen
paper is pre-eminent in the public in
terest of Oregon today. It is the thrift
stamp, backed by the pledge of the
United States and to further its wider
circulation the Oregon War Savings
Convention assembles this morning in
Elks' Hall, Broadway and Stark, streets,
with several hundred delegates In at
tendance from all Oregon counties.
Today's sessions are the finale of
the Oregon educational campaign, car
ried on for the war savings stamps and
mark the beginning of an active cam
paign for the sale of the state's quota
f $ 17,500,000 in the stamp securities.
- School Meetings Planned.
Delegates to the convention will dis
cuss and ratify the plan to pledge Ore
gon's allotment in a half hour on June
28, when mass meetings will be held
. In every schoolhouse in the state and
when individual quotas will be appor
tioned to each citizen.
The same plan Is to be observed
throughout America, by proclamation
of the President and is an amplifica
tion of the original plan drafted by
Oregon promoters of the war savings
tamp sales. This plan was to conduct
an-educational campaign of six months,
during which stamps would be sold to
all applicants and to follow the infor
mative drive by an active campaign for
the completion of all quotas during the
remaining six months of the year.
"Now we've got our goods out among
the people," said C. N. Wonacott, as
sociate state director, commenting yes
terday on Oregon's tactics. "They
-understand that a mere two-bit piece
puts on overalls and goes out and
builds great seagoing ships, that it
harvests our crops, drives our traffic,
and manufactures munitions. In a word,
all that has gone before has been a
passive retail campaign. Now we pro
pose to sell war savings stamps by
wholesale and to clea .-up the state's
quota In half an hour.
"This is a vital and tremendously
important phase of Oregon's patriotic
activities. If the plan is successful,
as we have every reason to anticipate,
it can readily be seen that there will
.be no more need for long and tedious
drives that each individual henceforth
will realize his or her duty to the Na
tion and will respond when the hour
strikes."
Nationally the war stavlngs stamp
campaign calls for $2,000,000,000 for
the current year. It has a larger pur
pose than the mere gathering of funds,
though the total will be of powerful
influence in the war budget, for it is to
brinir home to the mass of American
people a realization of what war securi
ties signify and what the war aims of
the United States consist of.
Stamps' Minnlrtn Manyfold.
"Through the medium of the 25-cent
security, and of the $5 stamp, it is pro
posed to- bring an understanding of
what war securities are," explained
Mr. Wonacott. "The little stamps teach
not only patriotism, but they incul
cate, thrift and. character.
"In the reconstruction period that is
to follow the war, the importance of
this campaign will be felt. For the
boys and girls of today will be heirs
to th- greater part of the reconstruc
tion era. Today we are reaching them
thrOUCTh tllC. Hl-hflols With lAactna
thrift as shown in the war savings'
stamp, we or America today have one
great fault we are thriftless. But
the younger generation will have been
taught the lesson of thrift and the
Influence of that lesson will be marked
for good in the years to come."
Today's convention will be attended
by delegates from all Oregon counties.
With approximately 300 delegates In
attendance from outer state points, the
delegation from Multnomah County
and Portland is counted upon to swell
the total attendance to at least 500.
Sessions will open at 9:30 this morn
ing and adjournment will be taken at
