Where Is My Bond? . . .
I
The question, “Where is my Bond? that has been
h
■ asked a few weeks ago on the front page of the
I SENTRY has been answered this week by the War
Department in a complete overhauling of the method
of the issuance of WAR SAVINGS BONDS in the
Class “A” Pay Reservation Plan. Because of the tre
mendous and “truly American’’ response to the War
Bond campaign throughout the country, a long un
desired delay had been necessitated in order to safe
guard both you and the Government. However, it is
now the chief concern of the Government to relieve
this situation and the following system will bring your
bonds to you when they are due:
PROUDLY/GIVEN . . . PROUDLY RECEIVED
1. Comencing with the allotments made on the payrolls
of January, all CIVILIAN employees possessing Class “A” Pay
Reservations will receive their bonds direct from their section
heads here at Camp Adair. These bonds will henceforth be
made up at the Post Finance Office instead of being mailed
from the Treasury Department in Washington. D. C. However,
al) bonds paid fon-prior to January 1, 1943. will continue io be
sent as soon as possible from Washington.
2. ALL MILITARY personnel who hold Class “A” Pay
Reservations will continue to receive their bonds from the
Treasury Department in Washington, D. C. As a result
of the Department’s release from the issuance of bonds
civilian personnel, the military personnel are thus assured
a more prompt receipt of the bonds due them.
To all personnel, both military and civilian, who are
faithfully sharing in the War Department's Bond Campaign,
the Post War Bond Office desires to remind them that their
bonds have been drawing interest for them even though many
have not yet received the actual bond. It is a great testimonial
to the American way of life to find that throughout all military
installations in the country both Generals and Privates, civilian
bookkeepers, electricians. P.X. workers, laundresses, warehouse
workers, etc., hold faith in their Government’s purpose to win
the war .... and win it soon. It is a proof that with every bond
we purchase we are “UNAIDING the Axis.”
