a
NATRIUM, W. VA.—In this section noted for its wealth of natural
resources, a new chlorine plant—the largest ever built as a single
unit East of the Mississippi River—was constructed on schedule with
Defense Plant Corporation funds and has been in operation for more
than two months. The announcement was made recently by Columbia
Chemical Division of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. Other large
plants East of the Mississippi were expanded over a period of time
rather than having been designed as a single unit. In addition to
manufacturing liquid chlorine, used for hundreds of industrial appli-
cations for war materiel, the plant also produces caustic soda as a
co-product.

ger, said he had not received the
list giving the total amount paid.
Further payments are expected, as
it is not believed the entire a-
mount was sent from state head-
quarters.
Payments covering 138,804 ap-
plications have already been made
to over 195,000 producers, and the
pay off program is just getting
under full headway.

tatoes; $250,000 for fresh vege-
tables; and $14,547,000 for soil-
Ibiulding practices.

taling $480,280 have been made to
34,745 dairy farmers in Texas

GILBERT TURB IS ENSIGN
IN U. S. NAVA RESERVE
With 29.50% of the county’s
quota assigned to White Deer and
. Skellytown, ’ $130,602.50 worth of
War Bonds are expected to be
purchased in this area before the
15th of February.
This is the biggest war job we
have yet undertaken, but we will
not belittle urselves by saying it
cannot be done. Our fighting men
are doing all that is aske of them,
even to the sacrifice of their lives,
and we cannot, must not, fail them
in this time of need of more money
than ever before.
Panhandle has a 33.50% quota
of $147,065.00 and Groom 16.25%
quota of $71,337.50 with the rest
alloted to the various common
school districts.
Carson County has a quota of
$439,000 for this War Drive This
quota is less than the Call of $580,-
200 assigned in the October drive.
We are getting off to a slow
start. The money needed by the
government to carry on the war
must be supplied through the sale
of bonds and taxations. If we fail
to buy as many monds as asked,
it simply means that we will have
to supply the deficit fin more tax-
es. Which do we want, bonds that
we ean later cash after the emer-
gency is over or taxes that are,
once paid, forever gone.
The Drive will continue until
Feb. 15, although all E, F and G
bonds sold until the end of Feb-
ruary will count on the Drive.
There are no monthly quotas for
January and February.
Every individual in the United
States is urged to “Back the At-
tack” and buy all of the War
Bonds that they possibly can du-
rng this Drive.
If those who expect to buy War
Bonds during this campaign, will
make a bee-line for the bank or
post office and buy the bonds they
expect to purchase there will be
no doubt of the success of the
drive. We know our duty just as
well as our soldiers and sailors
know theirs. Will we do it?
