Buttonwillow launches its $44 000 Fourth War Loan drive at a meeting led by Judge 4 T Kemp with a plan to assign each volunteer to the area around their home. The quota was cut from 65 000 as the district raised only about half that amount previously. Unofficial reports show about 24 000 bonds sold by week end and officials expect a quick over the top result.
