Volunteer Women Renter Efforts On Exceeding Goals With just one more week re 7 for completion of E bond “’mas0during the sixth war loan %aign, women victory volun c . salesmen will concentrate tef more earnestly than before e' having their respective coun fs top their E bond goals, it 7 announced yesterday by Mrs. Bishopric, of Spray, chair ha‘n 0f the women's division of North Carolina war finance committee. . A number of counties and re cions have accepted as their ob Ljves the selling of sufficient E, l aI1d G bonds to pay for -B-29 Superfortresses at $600,000 each, Mrs. Bishopric reported. Some oi these have already attained their coal, for others it is within sight, still others will redouble then- efforts to make their goals. A plaque b ering the name of the sponsoring county or group will be placed on each Superfor tress for the Army Air forces thus paid for with war bond sales; and a United States . Treasury certf cate will be presented to the vari ous organizations thus successful ly completing their B-29 war bond purchase goals. In celebration of this achieve ment, a small model of a Super fortress will be' presented by the women’s divison to the State of North Carolina for display in the Hall of History at Raleigh. Plans are being made for a public pro gram for this purpose during the month of January in Raleigh. Although confident that their campaigns will culminate success fully by December 30, the women war bond leaders and workers are taking no chances and will con tnue to push E. F and G bond sales to individuals throughout the next week. Now that the drive to sell bonds as Christmas gifts has been fin ished, attention will be paid to the sale of E bonds as year-end bonus es for employees of business con cerns. All firms willing to cooper ate along this line are being urged to give E bonds to their personnel. V-mail bond certificates for servicemen, bonds for babies and other investments in E bonds will be especially featured, to help put every county in North Carolina over its E bond quota. Women enlisted in the Blue Star Brigade for sellng E. F or G bonds are winning campaign ribbon decora tions by the scores for their sale of bonds to as many as ten dif ferent persons. As their bond sales mount, their rank in the brigade rises from second lieutenant to gen eral. The woman selling bonds to the largest number of persons in each county will be designated as the County General, and the one making the best record in the state will be desgnated as the State General. Indications now' point to the fact that there will probably be more women generals in North Carolina by December 30 than there are men generals in uni forms in this state.
