Appreciation Given
For Publicity Aid
Appreciation for publicity co­

ton ccunty “over the top" in the
5th war loan was expressed in
a letter received by the Argus
this week from. E. C. Sammons,
chairman of the Oregon war
finance committee. The letter
delcared:
“Wilbur Carl of the War Fi­
nance staff has called my atten­
tion to the great publicity job
you have done for the Wash­
ington County War Finance
Committee in connection with
the Fifth War Loan.
“I take off my hat to you!
It is one cf the best jobs in the
entire campaign and that's say­
ing a lot for we certainly have
had marvelous cooperation all
over the state. You, however,
arc right up there at the top
and Ihe results are evident.
“Oregon is again over the
top with a marvelous record.
Many, many thanks to you
for your grand service!—Sin­
cerely yours, E. C. SAMMONS,
Chairman Oregon War Finance
Committee.”
