I. therefore, as the governor
of the state of Oregon, take this
occasion to hereby call upon the
citizens of this state to devote
the period from June 27 to July
4, 1930, to Oregon's first annual
community thrift campaign.
I dedicate the period to the
proposition that the thrift level
of any community Is most prop
erly an object for the organized
attention and effort of that com
munity, just as poverty and need
and want, which bespeak the ab
sence of thrift, are now combat
ted by communities through var
ious relief organizations and
measures, both legislative and
social.
I call upon the mayors and
city governments of our various
communities to take appropriate
action during this campaign to
ward organizing their Jurisdic
tions for the positive pursuit of
thrift. I ask the county chair
men of the savings bonds organ
ization to organize a community
thrift campaign within their re
spective counties in cooperation
with all other thrift media. I ask
all employees within the state.
Including state and municipal as
well as private payrolls of what
soever size, to offer to, and ef
fectively promote among their
employees at least one form of
thrift.
I ask all civic and service
clubs to prevail upon their em
ployer members to that end.
I ask organized labor In all of
Its branches to take suitable act
ion in acquainting its member
ship with the community thrift
campaign, and to assist employ
ers in the promotion of thrift.
I ask all citizens of Oregon to
make the Oregon community
thrift campaign a time of per.
sonal rededication to the cause
of thrift and security in their
dally lives by resolving to:
Save regularly in a savings
account;
Protect themselves and their
families with life insurance, or
Buy United States Savings
bonds regularly.
Let us each and all be started
on our way to financial inde
pendence no later than Inde
pendence day, -
Given under my hand and
seal at Salem, Oregon.

Governor of Oregon
Brannan Charges
'False Impressions'
Oklahoma City, June 27 (U.R)
Secretary of Agriculture Charles
Brannan charged today the
American farm bureau is attack'
ing the Brannan plan by throw
Ing up a smokescreen of "false
impressions.
Brannan made the accusation
in a letter to Homer Duffy, pres
ident of the Oklahoma Farmers
union.
The farmers union supports
the plan, while the farm bureau
opposes It,
The farm bureau has created
the impression that the plan pro
vides new and drastic penalties
and regimentation, Brannan
charged.
The secretary said the refer
ence obviously was to penalties
provided for selling commodi
ties in excess of the farm mar
keting quota. He said these "so
called penalties have been in the
law for six basic commodities
since 1938," and would not be
changed or increased by the plan.

"LET'S BUILD
OREGON TOGETHER''
Nothing can equal the feeling of security that
comes with having money in the bank... money
you can count on for the "extras" in life... money
to meet an emergency, should one arise.
Notice from the chart below how a small
amount saved out of every paycheck soon builds
into a sizeable sum. Governor McKay has pro
claimed the period of June 27 -July 4 as a time for
Oregonians to observe COMMUNITY THRIFT.
Open a First National Savings Account during
this week and start saving for your independence.
