Generous Response
To Penny-a-Plane
Effort, Say Redmen
Response has been generous
so far to the "penny-a-plane"
plan being sponsored here by
the Redmen and Pocahontas
lodges, a lodge spokesman said
today.
Under this plan the public
Is asked to drop in tins placed
around town the same number
ot pennies as enemy planes shot
down by Americans the previ
ous day. A sign on the can tells
the number.
The lodges today expressed
thanks to firms that helped
them prepare for the "penny-a-plane"
plan. These included
Kay Lithographing, Inc., and
the Klocker Printery, which
supplied labels and cards, the
Rogue River Valley Canning
company, which furnished the
cans, Hubbard Brothers, which
provided the lids, and Hunt's
specialty ice cream shop, which
fupplied the wooden sticks hold
ing the cards.
' The pennies thus collected
are to be sent to Washington
where a fund, similarly collect
ed throughout the nation, will
be used solely to build p'anes.
