ings bonds and stamps. It was

Latham, circulation manager In
charge of the distribution by the
carriers. Total receipts for de
fense stamps alone were $349.30
for the week ending Saturday.
The carriers today began their
second week of deliveries.
. Bruce McKay, who has route
24, leads the carriers with sales
including three $500 defense
savings bonds, one $100 bond
and one $23 bond. Primary
purpose of the government In
enlisting the aid of newspaper
carriers was to spread the sale
. of defense savings stamps to as
many citizens as possible and
so the carriers are limited to
the sale of 10-cent stamps.
Several subscribers, however,
have insisted on buying bonds
through the carriers and ar
rangements have been Initiated
to procure credit toward the
government's awards of shields
and gold bars whenever a car
rier sells a bond, Mr. Latham
explained.
Othe.- rarrlers who have sold
bonds are Robert Kyle, Jr.,
route B, two $100 bonds; Wayne
Wright, route 1, two $100 bonds:
Leland Dressier, route 22, three
$23 bonds; D. O. LIndsey, motor
route r, three $23 bonds; Jerry
Warren, route 13, two $25
bonds; Lynn Jenkins, route 20,
one $23 bond; and Bill Bauman,
route 8, one $23 bond.
In the sale of defense stamps
alone, Lowell Sorenson, route
10, leads with receipts of
$131.50. Dressier Is second with
$82.50.
Mr. Latham explained that
cash receipts would not tally
exactly with the quoted value
of the bonds as they are quoted
at maturity value and not the
purchase price. A $23 bond, for
example, costs $18.73 but Is
worth $23 at maturity.

other denominations on hand. A
brisk business in the bonds in
