War Loan Drive
Here $300,000
Shoft of Goal
Only Week Remains
To AMaln Million
Bond Sales' Quota
With nearly $300,000 in bond
sales needed to complete its
quota of $1,00.000 in the Third
War Loan drive ending Sept.
30, the Freeport Bond & Stamp
Staff, Robert E. Patterson chair-man,
has some hard sledding to
go over the top.
As a result of the campaign
dens under the chairmanship, of
Samuel D. Gerber before the
drive opened, and the Frceport-at-
War rally, the village got off
to a good start, and reported
more than $500,000 in sales dur-ing
the first week.
However, since then, though
many people have purchased
bonds, they have not been of
large enough amounts to ap-proach
anywhere near the goal,
with the result that much re-mains
to be done during the
Anal week if Freeport is to at-tain
its quota*

25 Legion Charter Members
Help Post Start 25th Year
Luther Tells of Red Cross Work;
Lt. Irwin Krasnoff Also Speaks
Twenty-five charter members, including several of the
original officers, attended a meeting marking the beginning
of the 25th year of William Clinton Story Post, A.L., Fri-cial
banks arc not permitted to
purchase any bonds in the cur-rent
drive, which was not the
case in the First and Second
War Loans. Then residents of
Freeport working In defense
plants and outside the village,
especially in New York, have
to buy bonds where they are
employed and for which the vil-lage
gets no credit.
This puts it up to individuals
to purchase bonds in amounts
sufRcicnt to pass the $1,000,000
mark.
The Women's Division, head-ed
by. Mrs, Clark I. Scott, put
in a profitable day at the Bel-mont
Race Tra,ck Monday when
they disposed of $18,000 in
bonds. During the present meet
every bond purchaser receives a
ticket to the Futurity to-be- run
on- Oct.- 2, which has created a
demand for bpnds. Mrs. Scott
heir group ran.ouL.oJLbnnds
in the afteniooir~an3 had
.to pu<rin"ah S.O.S. for anpthcr
supply. They returned oh "Tues-day,
when they participated in
^selling bonds with representa-tives
of five other villages.
A recording of the broadcast
of the Freeport-at-War exhibi-tion
over WABC on Saturday,
Sept. 11, was sent out by Sta-tion
WGBB last night*

the organizers, and Past Com-manders
John R. P. Goller and

chairs of the vice-commanders.
From newspaper clippings, Mr.
Campbell gave the early history
of the post and the period be-fore
its organization. He said du-ring
World War I, Freeport sent
500 men into service, about 10
percent of the population. This
he added was approximately the
same total as in the present con-flict
when about 2,000 of the
20,000 population has enlisted or
been called.

Jatcator *or Wax? O6Sc* of, War
I/tifftfes and OfSce of prfce Ad-ministration
in Washington,
"PAW were only interested jn
financial hardship which has
been only part of (he position
taken by the Freeport Village .
Board — the big part is win-ning
the war and Frecport's con-tribution
to the war effort."
"The Fretport delegation was
obliged to defer everything not
pertaining to financial hardship
to an altemoon meeting before
the PAW and OWU," he con-tinued.
"At this hearing we stat-ed'
our complete case in no un-certain
terms again and pointed
out that no member 01 rtprc-*
scntative of any of the PAW,
OPA and OWU had personally
visited Free/port to Inspect our
3Ration here and inform them-selves*
as lo the merits of our.
anneal and alternate source of
power we. might Be obliged to
jiplo'y. We asKed for specific-exception
from_.this directive."
Mr. Ryan said that in the in-terim
local. va.r. plants have in-creased
their demands for power
to the extent that by next win-ter
"our peak will be conserva-tively
5,200KW during January,
February and March 1944. Last
winter they were between 4,000
and 5,000 KW. Our war plant
demand and vital civilian needs
will account for roughly 75 per-cent
of our load."
Tie pointed out that despite
continued negotiations, the or-der
to reduce the monthly al-lowance
to 18.000 gallons came
through, based on "unreasonable^
economic hardship." When it
was called to the attention of
the Washington authorities that
Sthis was not the main basis of
the board's special appeal, he
said, a reply came through that
"full consideration was given all
issues raised by Frceport espec-ially
service reliability under the
revised method of operation."
