SPIRIT of PLAINVILLE MASS.
Plainville Does It Again
For some time the pupils of Plainville Junior-Senior High desired to sponsor the purchase of a fighting plane by the sale of War Stamps and Bonds, but the amount necessary always seemed too great. Early in January the Treasury Department approved a plan for the sponsoring of fighting ships by the municipalities of our country. The Board of Selectmen welcomed this opportunity and appointed a committee to organize and direct the sale of bonds and stamps in the Town of Plainville.
The drive was scheduled for March 15 to May 1. The goal set was $30,000, the purchase price of a landing barge with ramp. The response by the people of Plainville was tremendous. No sooner had the announcement of the goal of $30,000 been made than one prominent family guaranteed to purchase an additional $30,000 if the town reached its goal.
The drive was organized on three distinct plans. The first was a personal canvass by the pupils of the schools. A War Bond was offered to the pupil who earned the greatest number of points according to a schedule which attempted to consider both the size of the bond and the number of sales. The pupils proved to be very fine salesmen. The War Bond was awarded to William Norwick, Grade 10, who completed ninety-two sales totalling $15,000.
The second plan was a canvass of all the business institu- tions of the town by the members of the War Bond Committee. Each business house cooperated to the fullest extent, and the success of this part of the drive matched in every way the success of the first.
The third plan consisted of a monster bond auction, held in the Town Hall, April 21, 1943. Mr. Earl Thompson was auc- tioneer. Articles of all kinds, from pigeons to sugar were given to each purchaser of a bond. When the last article was bid in, a total of $50,000 in bonds had been sold.
With the total sales growing each day, arrangements were made to sponsor a fighting plane in addition to the landing barge. Both machines of war have been delivered to our armed forces and no doubt have seen service against the enemy. The picture of our plane, a P-51 Mustang, is the frontispiece of this year's town report.
