Mr. Curnow, working energetically en Bancamerica Company: executive of San Francisco was more than gratified to learn recently that the efforts of both men to ‘bolster the Nevada County bond buying fund through local allocation by the Bank of America has borne fruit. The Bank of America a prominent buyer in each of the four war bond drives, deviated from its previous policy of purchasing through. two centralized sources——Sacramento:and San. Fran¢isco—and have. apportioned purchases through cities wherein it haz representative holdings. The $50,000 which will be’ credited to Nevada City’s war'’bond “account” is not only an excellent boost for the local campaign effort but may be accepted as a re“i :>°al gesture on the part of the Bank of America; attesting to ‘he interest taken in the community. The anno: day by Curnow boosts Nevada City’s war bond marker ‘to, ‘better than $100,000. However, Chairman Shetdon warns this sudden “enrichment” does not mean that* Nevada City may be expected to go over the top shortly. He points out that: this community still has-a long way to go to accomplish the drive goal. METHODIST CHURCH Sunday school at 10 ai’ m. We service: at. 11 a: m. Organ’ prelude, iMys: ‘Chas, Kitts.
