HOUSE WAR BOND SALES CLIMB TO FINISH DRIVE'S FIRST WEEK

Dunster Leads Other Two Rivals in Total Purchases

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

War Bond sales are climbing steadily as the Fourth War Loan Drive at Harvard progresses under the competitive impetus of Harvard's three civilian Houses. Dunster leads with total sales of $1360. In second place is Lowell House with $881.25. The $252.20 sold in Adams House puts it in the trailing position.

The Funsters in a dining hall selling spree, swept a waitress off her feet to the tune of four $100 bonds. Another resident bought a $500 bond, putting Dunster over this week's quota and this plus other sales equals 45 per cent of her total quota. William L. Sprout '47, is chairman of their drive.

Lowell House, finding the door-to-door technique of salesmanship more effective, has appointed a selling representative in each entry. Richard W. Hall '47 directs the drive there.

Adams House has been hampered by the sickness of David Dorman '46, who has been replaced as chairman by Stephen D. Beeker '47.

The drive officially ends on February 19 with the winner among the three Houses receiving a Minute Man Flag, equivalent to the Army-Navy E, to hang in its dining hall.

Last night all new men who entered the Navy V-12 program at the beginning of this term met in Kirkland House dining hall to listen to a talk on the Navy's plan for the allocation of pay for the purchase of Way Bonds.
