Bonds bought in the Bank and Post Office to the end of December can still be credited to the total for this drive, so there is still time to buy that extra bond. , Eleanor Bergstrom and Terry Hochberg are winners of bonds for the excellent results of their cam- paign activities. Eleanor will re- ceive a $50 bond for making the largest number of individual sales and a $50 bond for selling bonds with the largest maturity value. Terry Hochberg will receive a $25 bond for selling to the second larg- est number of individuals. Eleanor sold to 95 persons and Terry to 55.
