T BOND APPEAL
IN ROTARY TALK
An appeal for "E" war bond
buying to put Jackson County
and Oregon over the top in uic
Seventh War Loan was voiced
by E. 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.

OREGON needs the State Building Fund to take care of new con
struction, repair and renovation at all of our state owned building

income tax funds. It can not be used, however, until the people
vote the amount as a tax. These funds can then be used to cancel .
this tax. ' v
