The industr-ial community of Whit mire moved out ahead in the 6th War Loan Drive and quiclky raised its quota of $250,000. This is the third drive in which Whitmire was first to reach its alloted amount. Not only has this community raised the amount allocated to it but has far oversubscribed it. Elsewhere in the county the drive, which started Monday is lagging and unencouraging. Chairman Ned Purcell is concerned over the atti tude of the public toward the vital 6th War Loan and he urges every one to remember that the war is far from over and that even billions more than called for in this drive will bq needed before the war is end ed. Mr. Purcell calls upon all work ers to renew their efforts to get as many individuals as possible to buy bonds in this drive. The govemment has placed emphasis on the E. Bond series in this drive hoping that in dividuals will secure themselves against an uncertain economic future by saving a part of their earnings by means of these E. Bonds.
