LOCAL  WRA  STAFF  SETS  WAR
LOAN  DRIVE  GOAL  AT $14,234
  With the slogan "Over
for Top for Invasion” the
Fourth War Loan drive of-
ficially began yesterday
for the WRA staff, reports
Project Director James G.
Lindley.   The goal of
$14,234 - 35 per cent of one
month's  gross  payroll	
will be surpassed,he says.
   A total of $9,600 of the
quota represents the staff's
present payroll deductions
for War Bonds for the two-
month period of the drive .
The balance $4,634 is to
be met either by increased
payroll bond deductions or
by extra cash purchases
during January and February.
At present the staff is put-
ting more than 12 percent
of its gross payroll into
War Bonds each month.
   "We are proud of our
present Bond-buying record
and of the cooperation of
the staff in the Third War
Loan last fall," Lindley
states.  "But we know our
efforts are small when com-
pared with those of the men
on the fighting fronts,and
we expect every staff mem-
ber to meet and if possible
surpass his quota in this
Fourth War Loan."
   Opportunity for center-
wide participation in the
Fourth War Loan will be
given all Amache residents
in a program to be announ-
ced soon by W.Ray Johnson,
assistant project director.
