WAR SAVINGS SECURITIES
IN CELINA KATITER LIGHT
Believing that it might be a mat-
ter of interest to print the total in-
vested in Defense Bonds and stamps
at the post office and the First Stat.
Bank and probably a matter of pride,
the Record checked up at both place?
this morning and found the total in
vested for bonds and stamps to be
$556.85.
The record is nothing much to be
proud of, but maybe it will shame us
into doing better. This money, re-
member, goes to keep Hitler on the
other side of the Atlantic.
