M. Rea, State Vice-Director, of War Savings, on returning from a convention of State Directors, held last week at Birmingham. Mr. Rea stated further that in in the matter of county organi- zation v South Carolina compared very favorably with aiiy of the Southern States. While Mr. Rea wag at the convention, the' news reached him that South Carolina * had at last passed the $100,000 mark in weekly sales of' War Savings stamps and it was very cheering news. Mr. Rea I found thAt .the War Savings - organization of South Carolina was superior to several of the Southern states, and from the views and experiences aired at the meeting, it was agreed that effecive county organizations were needed above all other things by the Southern states. Several of the county War Be r ing!? eomm-ittees in -the state are. in* splendid shape, ‘ but others are defective. It is hope:? that in a short while every county in the state will have an aggressive, efficient cmn- mittye. “The signs in'South Carolina arp very encouraging,’' Mr, Rea stated. “ We have nyo big goals: first, to got\evefvjh(idy started in the purchase of War Savings stamps; second, to remind them to purchase constantly^ This is absolutely necessary iT^Soutli Carolina is to absorlj—its (juota of $3-2,000, 000 worth of stamps. Commencing • Mav‘ 1, the price of War Savings stamps will be $4.10 each, 1 instead of $4.15, the price during April. The price' advances one cent each succeeding month during 191S, This ia because the stamps increase in . value, 'j^nd while they cost more, thev-can like wise be redeemed for niore.
