C. Sammons, Portland, president of the U. fc. National bank and stale war bond chair man, at a luncheon meeting of the Medford Rotary club Tues day at the Hotel Medford. Sup plementing this appeal, Capt. Robert F. Augur, veteran of Cor rcgidor told of the hardships of Bilibid prison at Manila and ask ed citizens here to speed the res cue of 10,000 moro Americans still held captives by the Japs, by buying bonds. After reviewing Oregon's "championship" record in pre ceding war loans, Sammons said 17 million dollars are needed to meet the state's goal of "E" bonds ln the current drive. Cor poration buying is excellent, he said, and Oregon will exceed her over-all quota. The buying of smaller "E" bonds is lagging here and throughout the state. One-half of Oregon's allotment is in the form of "E" bonds. Savings Grow Sammons , pointed out . that, during 1944, savings accounts in Jackson County boosted $1,706, 000 and other accounts $4,728, 000. If only a portion of this money is invested in safe govern ment bonds this county will step from a place near the bcttom of Oregon counties to first place. He emphasized the need for all- out support with war spending exceeding $250. million a day, and the cost of war reduced very little since the fall of Nazi Ger many. "America has already Invested $275 billion, a quarter million lives and three-quarters of a mil lion casualties.in victory," Sam mons declared. "We simply can not let down with only half the job done." In E, F, and G war bonds more than 82 per cent are still held by Americans, the speaker told Rotarians. With $500 million in bonds and $300 million in sav ings accounts Oregon citizens face the post-war era in a strong financial condition. Two Great Foes Japan and distance were cited as our two great enemies today. Sammons, a veteran of ' World War I and with a son who served with Patton's army in this con flict, has headed bond buying ef forts ln Oregon since the war be gan. He was Introduced by Allan Perry. Captain Augur emphasized Sammons' appeal with vivid de scriptions of rugged fighting at Bataan and Corregidor, and a first-hand account of the famous March of Death." The horrors of Bilibid prison were vividly re viewed. Members of the Medford Ro tary club are joining in a sweep ing campaign to sell "E" bonds in tills city.
