« With the Washoe-Bearcreek district still in the lead in percentage of sales, the seventh war loan drive completed the first 10 days this week. Sales amounted to $7,112.50 against a quota of $11,500 in the Washoe-Bearcreek community, announced Mrs. H. C. Olcott, county chairman.
“This speaks well for the residents of these communities,” said Mrs. Olcott, “who have made purchases of bonds through the payroll savings plan since the early days of the war.”
The Edgar community under the leadership of J. E. Patterson is in second place with 53 per cent of the $12,500 quota made. Roscoe made the biggest percentage of gain from last week and now stands in third place as compared with ‘eighth place during the first week of the drive. The people in that vicinity, with Dave Branger as chairman, passed the half way mark with 52 per cent of their $12,500 quota.
Other communities in the county are lagging in bond purchases. The county placed second in district seven with 35.2 per cent of its quota reached by Wednesday morning.
“The seventh war loan leaders I have adopted the slogan of ‘finish the 7th by the 7th’ which leaves a little more than two weeks to complete the county quota,” said Mrs. Olcott. “The drive officially closes June 30, but we are hoping to take our place with the other counties of the state in finishing the job by the 7th.”

Five dry-land shelter belt trees are allotted to Carbon county each year under the provision that the applicant makes the application for the trees before June 1, to secure the trees for planting in the following spring, says O. P. Roberts, county extension agent.
