OVER THE TOR 160 Per Cent or Over $1,500,00 Raised tor War Spryies Fund Nearly “Everybody Loves a Sailor, Soldier, Airman,” That was what the people of Exe­ ter said in a short, sharp, enthus­ iastic campaign for the Canadian War Services Fund, Every last one of the canvassers deserves credit for the promptness and thoroughness of his work, for his carefulness in going back over the ground, to see people who were not contacted on the first or second round, for his ability to present the matter to the people in the most favorable light, and, lastly, for the care exercised in filling out the report cards, Al­ so the team captains for the excel­ lent way* they prepared their tripli­ cate sheet reports, It was the Writer’s duty to inspect and initial all card and sheet reports, and he never saw work better done. It was a pleasure to inspect the work. Those canvassers certainly earned themselves a permanent joib, and we know that they and their captain, Elmore Harness, will not fail when called on again. As for the people contacted, well, they just did their part freely and generously and very few people, who were able, failed to contribute. Exeter was asked for $1,000. Four days after the campaign start­ ed that figure had been reached. Three days later (Monday evening, •when this was written), the total was over $1,600, and this will be considerably increased before the end of the week. While we all feel like congratu­ lating ourselves, let us remember that what we are. doing is only a little thing compared to what is be­ ing done for us overseas, and that, after all, we are only doing a little part of our duty. Let us go from one job to another with equal prompt­ ness and success. R. N. Creech, Sec. of Publicity I.O.O.F.

Lieut. duBois was introduced by Lion Thos, Pryde. With the aid of a map Lieut. duBois outlined the physical features of Holland, stating that the country was very flat, a icountry of dykes and bridges; the people peace-lov­ ing and industrious. For size it could be set down in Lake Huron. There wefe about 550 people to the square mile. Holland had tried o remain neutral. When invaded by Germany they had put up a stiff re­ sistance against tremendous odds. After bombing and machine-gunning of the civilian population toy Ger­ many, Holland had capitluated. Lieut. duBois was in the heart of the fighting and saw his own regi­ ment reduced to a small handful of men. Among- the first of the troops to enter the Netherlands were Ger­ mans dressed in the Netherland uni­ forms and singing Netherlands songs. Another troop train trying the same ruse was blown up While crossing a river and 3,000 were drowned. After leaving Holland Lieut. 'duBois joined the Belgian army, then the French and finally escaped from France at^Dunkirk. His country wanted freedom and peace and would fight until justice, peace and freedom were restored. Lieut. duiBois was roundly applaud­ ed and the President, O'. V. Pickard extended the thanks of the club and presented the speaker with a gal­ lon of maple syrup to take back with him to cam®.
