According to the plan foi Com? munity Councils, each school district, each township or each precinct i made a working member Of a nation lighting for a noble cause. The task oi ilu- war needs Hu- winde energy ol every man, woman and child in tIii: country. The Community Council makes personal contact with everj citizen possible, ami its development mean-; the effective mobilisation oi the nation behind the war. The State Councils are operating under the direct supervision of the War Department ami the National Council ami individuals working In Community Councils under the direc tion of County Councils are as much in the service of the country as the SOldlers in uniform and may feel thai the government appreciates all the: do.

To The People oi Sumter County: The following hoe just been re? ceived direct from the Council of National Defense ami the Advisor] Com mitten of tin* Council at Wash? ington Thrift ami lteouomy. The Council of National Defense and the Advisory Commission of the Council believe thol a concerted effort lor economy by the people of the ns tldn will not <tni' go far toward pay? ing America's expense in the war but will also reduce consumption or raw and manufactured materials es? sential to the conduct of the war. The Council in ges all to refrain from unnec essary expenditures of ? v ery kind, and to hear constantly In mind that only one thing Is now of real Importance, ami that is the win? ning of the war. The nation's resources in man-pow? er, money, transportation, food stuffs, row materials and fuel, have already been subjected to heavy strain, and it is tin- clear duty of every citizen to guard against Increasing this strain by a single wasteful act. it is most creditable for everyone ?man and woman, hoy and girl to be economical in die--, food and man? ner of living. Every evidence of help fur self-denial on the port of all in a time like this is most commendable. This war is more than a conflict between armies; it Is a contest In Which every man, woman and child con and should render real assistance. Thrift and economy are not only a itrlotic privilege, they are a duty. ?OUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE The Secretary of War. Chairman.
