Huron County Goes Over the Top; Exeter in Second Place
v
i
Huron County went over the top
and raised $28,529.00 in the Huron
Wai’ Services campaign, the execu
tive committee learned at a meet
ing in Clinton Monday evening. The
amount raised is $8,529,0'0’ over the
quota, or 142 per cent of the money
ashed,
The Huron campaign was so suc
cessful that the executive advised
Warden Leiper that while Perth was
still canvassing, the results were be
yond question that he would he
quite safe in ordering a new hat for
his wife. Warden Leiper early in
the ' campaign challenged Perth
County Warden McCallum and wag
ered that Huron County would' ex
ceed its quota by a greater percent
age than did Perth.
, A large measure of the success of
the campaign is due to the unique
cash or,?produce feature which re
sulted in vast quantities of goods
being donated.
Included in the produce donations,
Agricultural Representative James
C. Shearer, who was in charge said,
were apples, vegetables, grain,
field beans, wool, loads of hay, cow
hides, calves scrap iron, cutlery,
fowl, eggs, baby chicks, tile and
books.
In officially closing the cam
paign the executive committee re
corded its appreciation of the splen
did .support and assistance given by
the people of Huron. Special men
tion was made of the canvassers
without whose assistance the cam
paign could not have been com
pleted.
The results, by municipalities, are
follows:

sembled here tonight to honour
you, Mary, one of our highly-esteem-
•ed young girls. Great days and
great friendships are few in the
lives of most of us. You have ever
been one of our truest friends, so
we feel your approaching marriage,
the greatest of all days, merits an
occasion such as this. For some
time you have taken ,a responsible
'place in our community’s life and
• work in the ’ Young People’s So
ciety, Sunday School, and espec
ially as pianist of our church. We
realize this has meant sacrifice of
both time and talent but you have
always cheerfully and Willingly
given of your best. We will miss
you but we realize what is our loss
is another community’s gain.
So, this evening we gladly avail
ourselves of the opportunity which
this happy occasion affords to as
sure you of our deep appreciation of
your .splendid worth to our church.
We wish to congratulate your
husband and to extend to you both
our sincerest wishes for a long un
ited life of .happiness and prosper
ity. - , .
So, Mary, we would say in the
words of this poem:
Who went to Zion Sunday School,
And sat on the piano stdol, •
To play church hymns just by the
’rule?
’Twas Mary!
Who always helped with everything,
And in the choir for years did sing
Until you got a diamond ring?
’Twas Mary!
In matrimony, may' you sail
Your ship, and never meet a gail,
Nor out in Exeter see a whale,
Deai‘ Mary!)
a hundred names were inscrib-
Shower, for Bride-Elect

address and Irene Brock present
ed Mary with cream and red gran
iteware. Mary then thanked her
many friends in a few well-chosen
words, after Which a dainty lunch
was served.
Following is the address:
We, the Zion ladies, have as-
We always did enjoy your fun,
Until Howard came with love by the
ton,'
And coaxed you from you'r friends
to run,
Oh Mary!
■A.
Our friendship ne’ei' has had a rift,
So please accept this little gift.
May it from you all Sorrows lift,
■Dear Mary!
We,.wish you joy through all the
years,
With more of sunshine

And happiness instead of
Our Mary!
With best wishes from

This is a war for existence. It is war to the death. It is a war to win or to lose.
There can be nd half way—no compromise. It is a war to WIN.
Money is the fourth arm of the service.
Whatever you are called on to pay or to lend, it is little compared to the lives
that our sons offer.
✓
There have been many and heavy calls upon Canada already.
There will be more.
Let us face the truth and the truth will make us free.
It is freedom we are fighting for, British freedom, the freedom of body and
spirit that makes life worth living.
If we fail, we fall.
Be prepared for sacrifice.
Great Britain has set us an example on a scale, of heroic magnificence history
doesn’t record.
Let us FIGHT!
Canada has the resources. Let us spare nothing. When our soldiers offer their
lives;, let us be willing to share our livelihood.*.
Presently the Government of Canada will call for money.
The money is here.
We are spending billions. We are already heavily taxed. But most , of these
billions and those taxes are being spent in Canada. That money comes back to
you. Keep it rolling. Keep putting it back into the war effort* so that it may be
spent again and again and again until Bight prevails and the world is free.
