Winsham Is Asked To Biiyf A Naval Gu One reason that the War Savings Certificate Campaign here is getting along well is due to the fact that four factories are pledged 100 per cent. They are Western Foundry, Lloyds, Fry and Blackhall and Howson’s Mill. This means that every employee is doing his or her share to put the Campaign here over the top and more important still do their part to help defeat Hitler. With what these factory employees have pledged and what had been to date pledgee} on Main street amounts to $15,000 a year or 5 naval guns. Our objective here is a Naval Gun a month and the committee are sure that when the campaign is well under way this objective will be reached. Of course they are counting on alb doing their share in this great opportunity to supply guns for our active force men.
