April’s Bond Quotas Reached
Alaska War Bond purchases
during the month of April ex
ceeded the quota set by the War
Savings Staff of the U. S. Trea
sury for the current month,
Fred W. Ayers, Deputy Admin
istrator of War Savings, announ
ced today.
Sales of Series E bonds last
month, on the basis of reports
from eighteen communities, to
talled $352,759.00. This com
pared with $355,960.75 ia Jan
uary; $305 813 25 in February,
and $432,729.75 in March. The
quota for the current month of
May is $350,000.00.
"The Territory has been fair
ly consistent in its support of
the War Savings program” Mr.
Ayer said today, "but while the
April sales exceeded slightly the
quota set for May, the June
quota will more nearly approx
imate the sales during March,
when the ‘Spirit of Alaska’
bomber campaign, coupled with
the highly successful Defense
Sports Festival at Fairbanks,
sent sales to ' heir highest peak.
“In the month of July, Alaska
is asked to attain the half mil
lion dollar mark in bond pur
chases, and from that point on
ward, for the duration of the
war, will be expected to main
tain that figure as a minimum
monthly average The Treasury
Department cannot put too
much stress on the absolute nec
essity for the setting of these
quotas. Time is short and the
ever-increasing demands of our
war machine create an urgency
that we cannot escape or evade.
To raise tht billions which we
need to win this war, and to do
all in our power to check infla
tion, we must raise our sights.
Alaska not only must meet the
quotas which have been set; it
must exceed them.”

New Restrictions
Apply To Mail
Washington (^P)—Because of
“military necessity and the need
for shipping space,” the post
office has restricted the mailing
of parcels which require ocean
transportation outside the con
tinental United States.
Persons will be prohibited
from sending a parcel if it ex
ceeds 11 pounds and is more
than 18 inches in length and
girth combined. This does not
apply to parcels mailed from the
Territory to the outside.
Other restrictions which are in
cluded are that not more than
one package will be accepted in
any one week from the same
person or firm for the same ad
dress. Perishables will not be
accepted for mailing either to or
from the Territory.
The principal articles which
are affected are second, third
and fourth class mail.
Postmaster General Frank
Walker said that the War and
Navy Departments have inform
ed him that such mailings are
“seriously interfering with and
delaying the expeditious move
ment of vital war supplies and that
merchandise and printed matter
which is not absolutely essential
to the war effort and was form
erly transported by other means
is now being placed in the mails.”
