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.” Stockade, and Post Provost Mar­ shal.
