DISTRICT ORGANIZES FOR WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN A meeting of those interested in promoting the sale of War Savings Certificates was held in the Library on Friday evening last. Represen­ tatives were present from nearly^ all the district coming under the jurisdiction of the Exetei* District War Time Board, Grand Bend, Dashwood, Shipka, Crediton, • Cen­ tralia, S.S. ‘Nos. 4 and 5, Usborne, Hurondale, Thames Road, Elim- ville. The War Savings Committee, a branch of the War Time Board, was in charge, with Fred A, May in the chair. In the temporary ab­ sence of Thos. Pryde, president of the War Tim,e Board, R. N. Creech, the secretary, was called „gn> an^ he gave a talk on the need of a suc­ cessful -drive to enlist the co-opera­ tion of 2,000,000 Canadians to in­ vest regularly in War Savings Cer­ tificates so that through-out Canada $10,000,0.00 a month may be in­ vested for the duration of the war. In Erigland, $55,000,000 a day is being -spent on war effort. < Men, women, boys and girls are all do­ ing their part, while in Canada, though not on the firing line, we may soon be, if England does no-t win the war. This? we must never allow to happen as the cost of de­ feat would be infinitely greater than the cost of war. He gave a re­ sume of the ..work of the General Canadian Campaign Committee as outlined at a District Meeting in London a week previously, which several Exeter people attended. The committee is putting on the most extensive advertising cam­ paign ever attempted in Canada. Twenty-six advertising agencies are engaged in preparing every kind of advertisement — radio, newspaper, magazine, bill board and poster— -some of which are already appear­ ing in the daily and weekly news­ papers. The purpose is to con­ vince the people that this is a life and death struggle, not only for the people of Britain, but also for the people who live on this continent. The money invested in these Savings Certificates will not -only help to fi­ nance the war but will create a valuable backlog of savings for the people in the years following the .war. He drew attention to the need of canvassers for the whole district and outlined the iBank Pledge Plan, The Honour 'Pledge Plan and the kit each canvasser would be supplied with. At this time Mr. Pryde arrived, and he gave a pep talk on the needs and purposes of the campaign, in which he stressed the fact that 'confidence in our -cause and energy in the cam­ paign were what was needed to make it a success. General discussion followed and -many questions were answered and explanations made on various phases of the work. It was agreed that the -territorial or­ ganization of the various units of the Exeter Red Cross Branch should be utilized fof the canvass. Sever­ al members of the County Council, wiho had just returned from a meeting at Goderich, were present and enthusiastically endorsed the work and volunteered their assis­ tance. In Exeter the Employer- Employee, the business and profes-*' sional canvass, will take place early in February. About the middle of the month, as proposed by H. C, Rivers, -a frolic 6r stunt of some kind may be put on in town, and this will be followed by the general can­ vass. As soon as the advertising matter and the canvassers’ kits ar­ rive district workers may secure a supply from Fred May. In case they are not called for they will be sent out to the surrounding units early next month.

Caution was thrown to the wind and the two teams played a wide-open rousing game. Two new faces appeared on the local line-up in Lawson and Ferguson and both gave a good account of themselves. Twice in a row the -Lucan line of the Paul brothers and Chown bored in on Ford before the locals got or­ ganized in the opening minutes. Chowen had nice chance on the play but his 'd-ose-in shot missed the net. Creech and Moore made, a break for Exeter’s first thrust but Creech lost control of the puck when right in on Hudson. Ford made a spectacular save on Chow- en’s drive after the ’latter had grab­ bed the 1-oose puck at the -defense and rushed in on the goalie. Lucan broke into the scoring at the nine minute mark. Reg. Paul broke away fast and was partially blocked at the defence by Creech but Chowen managed to -get the pass and beat Ford with a high shot from the left boards. Stire for the locals missed a nice , chance but his shot hit the goal post, While Shier was in the cooler foi* tripping Exeter staged .a power play and it nearly backfired. Chowen and Hammond- broke away from their own end with only Ryckman back and Ford had to be good to stave off their drive. In the dying minutes of th© period Lawson just failed to score on a scramble in front of Hudson’s cage. Macdonald netted the equalizer early in the second semester. Moore laid down a nice pass to him and while almost on a straight angle with the net his accurate shot caught the corner of the^cage. Ford took Chowen’s knee-high shot on the pads when the -Lucan winger bored in on him. Stir© put th© homesters into the lead, skating in on Hudson with Ryckmafi’s pass, aftei4 the two had combined on a njee play through the rival defence. However, the home team didn’t maintain their lead for long. The Paul brothers, staging some bril­ liant playing, split the defence and Reg sifted in on Ford with Gerald’s; pass to beat Ford and make the score 2-2. Ryckman was banished for tripping but the locals staveci off the Lucan attack. Creech mad** a brilliant solo effort, breaking from his own zone to drift through the defence and heading goahvafd. lit trying to draw I-Iu'dson -out of posi­ tion, however, he lost the puck. Oho weft put the visiters Into the , lead early in the third frarhe, G. Raul laid down a nice pass to hhn at the blueline and his chest high (Continued, on jiage 4) Renew Early as Subscription Draw Closes Feb 15th.
