Late reports received from the waT savings trenches bring the*total sales for the week ended March 30 up to $80,394.25. the thrift anpy through out the State is bringing up its re serves and going over the top for large gains. The week of March 30th shows an increase of 86 per cent over the previous week and sets a pace which promises to bring South-Caro lina out of her humiliating place as the lowest State in war savings sales. Positions are nbw being consolidated and a big drive is expected during the coming weeks. In spite of the fine record last week, South Carolinians invested a little less than 6 cenU a piece in war savings. Realizing how inadequate this is, the thrift soldiers feel confident of mak ing s still better record next week. The immediate objective is $100,000 per week. Total sales now amount to $488,- 169.76, or a little km than 90 cents per capita.
