Fayette county war bond chairman 3 F Miller reports May sales totaling 114 014 from nine banks with four others expected to bring total to 143 614, below the monthly quota of 152 642 but considered reasonable for a light month. Cumulative Jan–Apr sales reach 1 090 383 or 59 percent of the yearly quota of 1 830 500. bank purchases explain April’s shortfall yet county banks bought 500 000 while non bank totals show 410 000 above quota. Plans for June target 209 940 in E F and G bonds, with special bond drive events and Flag Day as possible rally days to meet the over 57 000 monthly average above. Miller urges continued push as war progresses and soldiers fight.
