The showmen to be chosen from among more than 10,000 contestants who will be named among the "honored hundred" will comprise an Advisory Committee for the industry in the Fifth War Loan Drive and will be awarded all-expense trips to Washington. As members of the Advisory Committee they also will be given tribute scrolls on illuminated parchment and sent personal letters from Secretary Morgenthau.

By their acceptance each has bestowed an unusual tribute on the motion picture industry and the men and women of it." Completing Final Checking State exhibitor chairmen and State War Finance Committee chairmen throughout the nation and the two territories are completing the final checking of entries and results in their respective states of contestants. One winner from each state will be named by the state exhibitor and war finance chairman jointly and they will also send their State nominations for winners in each of population classifications. All selections of winners will be made on a basis of actual individual "E" Bond sales in ratio to the number of seats and will' be supported by certified audited reports. No one person, it is pointed out, may win two awards. State exhibitor and War Finance chairman will send their nomination of winners in the population classifications to the three national judges in New York. When all state nominations shall have been in, the judges will select the winners on the basis of the certified audited sales reports only. An exhibitor who has a 1,000-seat house and sold during the Fourth War Loan 1,000 Bonds is given a rating of 100 per cent. If the same exhibitor had sold 1,045 Bonds, his percentage ratio would increase accordingly and so on up the ladder. Those showmen who have sold a minimum of "a Bond for every seat" during the drive are eligible for the committee.
