To The Citizens of Plainville:
During the year 1945 two War Loan Drives were held. In both drives the solicitations were made by the school pupils under the guidance of the committee. A prize of a Bond was offered for the pupil bringing in the greatest re- turns and War Savings Stamps for the succeeding prizes. During the Seventh War Loan Drive the State Committee offered an hour's airplane ride in a Northeast Air Line Main- liner to twenty-one super war bond salesmen in the schools of the state. Plainville was favored with one seat. This was won by Natalie Grant, winner in both the Seventh and Eighth War Loan Drives.

To The Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
On September 30, 1945, the long awaited day, the Plain- ville War Price and Rationing Board was discontinued and the remaining items of rationing transferred to a central board at Attleboro. The Plainville Board had been in operation since January 5, 1942. The original board was composed of Ralph Crowell, Arthur W. Washburn, and Rufus King. Later, Leslie G. Young and Henry S. Tamblyn served as members. The board wishes to thank Henry S. Tamblyn, who, after being forced to relinquish his membership by the Hatch Act, con- tinued to serve as adviser to the board and rendered invaluable service.
All the members of the Plainville War Price and Rationing Board, past and present, wish to extend to the citizens of Plain- ville their appreciation of the splendid co-operation and spirit of fairness in enabling the board to discharge its duties. The rulings sent us from Federal sources many times were far from pleasant and difficult to administer. The very small number of complaints was a tribute to the understanding and fair- mindedness of the citizens of Plainville, and a demonstration of their desire to do their part in prosecuting the war.
The Board wishes to pay special tribute to Mrs. Lillian Bennett, who acted as clerk of the Board. She attended to all the clerical duties, received applications and complaints, and accounted for all negotiable items of rationing. It was a pleas- ure to learn that the Federal auditor found that every account balanced and every item checked. A difficult job well done.
In 1945 no appropriation of money was requested. The Board, on behalf of the United States Government, wishes to thank the citizens of Plainville for use of its offices and equip- ment for the transaction of Rationing.
Respectfully submitted,
F. SUMNER TURNER, Chairman, LeROY WILSON, HOWARD BIGELOW, DOLIVER WHITE,
CHARLES F. BREEN, JR., WALLACE H. PECKHAM, JR.,
Plainville War Price and Rationing Board.
