Graettinger War Bond Drive Aims For 10 Percent Savings
Graettinger comes under a national appeal as Treasury urges every wage earner to invest at least 10 percent of earnings in War Savings Bonds by New Year’s Day. The community is expected to meet the goal as locals praise workers who already contribute 10 percent or more. Local news notes include Marilyn Torenson’s visit and Mrs. Joe Swift’s Los Angeles trip. An American Weekly color feature by Henry Clive celebrates patriotic bond support.
