To All Unit Commanders,
Camp Abbot, Oregon:
1. I wish to commend ail per
sonnel, Military and Civilian
alike, for their outstanding
achievement in the purchase of
$50,000 in W ar Bonds for Cash,
during the first half of the
FOURTH W AR LOAN DRIVE.
2. Although cash purchases
are necessary and helpful, a sys
tematic means o l purchasing
W ar Bonds through the Class
"B " Allotment Plan is highly
recommended. It is my desire
that all officers and enlisted men
of this command, except those
barred by personal obligations,
initiate or increase their Class
"■B" allotment to equal at least
•10 per cent of their gross pay.
3. I feel confident that, with
