LAUREL — The next big war job facing the home front is the raising of some $14,000,000,000 in the Sixth War Loan, the drive getting underway next Monday.
Take a look at that figure again. Long one, isn’t it, but that many dollars worth of war bonds must be sold if we are going to back up our fighting men all over the world and you can bet we are going to do just that.
Cedar County has been assigned a quota of nearly half a million dollars; $494,000 to be exact. Laurel has been told to raise $32,000 and we’ll do it.
