Adults 24c Fifth War Loan Opens In County The Fifth War Loan campaign, long and carefully prepared, was launched in McCormick County this week, and under the inspira tion of the new battle for Europe, started with the invasion of France, leaders predicted a suc cessful drive. Chairman G. J. Sanders, Jr., said the start was promising and that the organization had begun a widespread canvassing of the county, which has a quota for the campaign of $103,000.00. Reports from over the state in dicated that many were buying earlier than in other campaigns. In Columbia, State Chairman Christie Benet, said the buying of bonds, in the light of the momen tous new developments in the war, should be “beyond the point ever thought possible.” In his campaign-opening state ment, Mr. Benet said: “Our Government is calling up on every loyal citizen to go into action. Our men and our allies are hitting the enemy with un precedented power in all parts of the world and these attacks must be sustained and increased in strength until victory is won. An enormous amount of food, muni tions and war material is being consumed every day and must be replenished. “Landing on the beaches of Normandy is the initial stage of unparalled military operation that will grow day by day in intensity and fury “To properly support our armed forces we will have to supply more and more of those military necessities that make for victory and the retention and regaining of freedom for the peoples of the earth. This means money and more money must be spent, and the home front must furnish all that is needed. “The call to each of us is clear; Buy, buy and buy war bonds beyond the point thought possible. “Freedom is a precious pos session and it does not mean somebody else’s freedom—it means yours. To keep it is costly in blood and money. “Our part is to furnish the money and do it NOW. Buy Bonds TODAY.” Plum Branch Plum Branch News School CloSCS Mrs. J. M.

P. Bowers, Collector of In ternal Revenue, announced today that $5.00 Auto Use Tax Stamps were placed on sale in all Post Of fices and the offices of the Col lector in Columbia, Charleston, and Greenville, South Carolina, on June 10, 1944. These stamps must be purchas ed on or before July 1, 1944. and be affixed to the lower lefthand corner of the windshield and it is suggested that, when affixing the stamp, the automobile owner should dampen the windshield rather than the stamp, as by us ing this method the stamp will remain intact upon the wind shield. As an additional precau tion, it is suggested that each motor vehicle owner make a rec ord of the serial number which appears on the stamp for protec- ticn in the event the stamp should become lost. Only certified checks, money orders, or cash will be accepted in payment of the Use Tax Stamp and Post Offices will sell only the $5.00 denomination stamp. Motor vehicle owners liable for payment of the Use Tax Stamps for periods of less than the full year will be required to obtain such stamps from the Collector of Internal Revenue. Mr. Bowers stressed the fact that the stamps must be affixed to the vehicle and owners who fail to purchase and display the new Use Tax Stamp on the ve hicles using the public highways Bettve Wil- will ioin relatives for a vacation at Dr. J.
