Now, for one month, it has become necessary to ask that every person dig as deep as he can. “It is not an impossible msk; that Alaskans now are being asked | to perform. If everyone who has been purchasing bonds regularly would double and, wherever pos- sible, ‘triple their usual allotment, we can exceed easily the quota,” Ayer said. The goals set for individual com- | munities are as follows: Anchorage, $350,000; Fairbanks, $250,000; Ketchikan, $250,000; Ju- neau and Douglas, $200,000; Sew- ard, $100,000; Sitka, $100,000; Ko- diak, $100,000; Petersburg, $75,000; Whitehorse, Y.
