WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN- Exeter and District, in the recent campaign to secure pledges to buy War. Savings Certificates, should be fairly well pleased with the result. The whole territory, with the excep­ tion of a icouple of spots that seem to have been neglected up-to-date, enjoyed the free services of a, mighty fine lot of canvassers who went out to do a good job and they did it, and did it well. Owing to the difference in population of the various Villages and territories surrounding them it is, perhaps, hardly fair to compare the results, but it can be said that the central committee acknowledges with grateful thanks that they all went well over the top—not quit© up to the very high objective the community set, but 50 per cent better than the quota set for us by the five-county president. Many people went to the post offices and banks and voluntarily (purchased cer­ tificates and made pledges. Un­ doubtedly we are missing many of these in our summary so that the ac­ tual results are considerably greater than we are able to show. In Exeter, •263 pledges were received, for $1865 per month, besides cash purchases of $4500. In the surrounding dis­ trict 371 pledges were received for $105-3 per month besides $6658 in cash purchases. The total of both town and country was &34 pledges for $2918 per month for the dura­ tion of the war, and $11,158 in cash purchases. In other words, the people engaged themselves to pur­ chase, during the year, no less than $46,174 worth of War Savings Cer­ tificates. This amount will increase as time passes, as many people who did not pledge have been buying "certificates for months . and are continuing to buy regularly. The committee again thanks all who had a part in the campaign, workers and purchasers, the advertisers who gave space and not forgetting the Times-Advocate for all the heading space that the committee require^. R. N. Creech, Sec. of FubliMty The pupils of the Exeter public school have purchased $607.50 in' War Savings Certificates since the beginning of the war and also have Quite a collection of magazines, books and other articles distributed by the to the various army, navy and air force camps to Canada.z
