Th© Mayors, Reeves, Cler­ gy and various chairmen were all present and the meeting was a great j success. Mr. McMurray, Mayor of Clinton, was Chairman of the meeting and the Rev. Mr, Beecroft opened with a very stirring speech- f Major Knowles discussed the organization and Peter 3affray reviewed pub­ licity. Mr. E. E. Patterson, of Clin­ ton, assured the. organization of as complete co-operation as possible from the banks. Mr, R. K. Wurtele, of Goderich, explained the Special Names List and the “B” List pf pros­ pective subscribers fpr the Victory Loan. Mr. J. C, Shearer, of Clin­ ton, outlined briefly the job of Can­ vassing District Chairmen and.can­ vassers and Mr. J. D. Thomas, chairman of the County of Huron Victory Loan Organization, review­ ed the responsibility of the County and mentioned that the organiza­ tion should aim at obtaining the quota of $1,300,000 by the end of the first week of the three-week campaign and that the objective should be three times the quota, The County of Huron has been divided into quarters by the Execu­ tive Committee and . Mr, J, C, Shearer, Chairman of one of the quarters, challenged the others, namely Mr. Herb Campbell, Mr. W. L. Whyte and Mr. Thomas' Pryde and stated he would obtain a iarger amount from his section than any other single quarter. The Boy Scouts have been very helpful in Goderich and at the pre­ sent time are filling sand bags to be used to decorate the front of Headquarters Office. Mr. A. R. Scott, principal of Goderich Collegiate Institute been very helpful and has lent organization much equipment. The Lion’s Clubs are also being of great assistance throughout the County and have agreed to super­ vise the decorations of the towns of Wingham, Seaforth, Clinton, Exeter ' and Goderich. A contest will be run whereby a prize of $5.00 will be paid for the best decorated store in each of the above five towns and in Blyth, Hensall and Brussels. There will also be a County prize -of $10.00 for the best in the County. The organization is nearly com- > pleted but the names , of some can.- . vassers and publicity men are still • lacking and they should be sent in as soon as possible. Mr. R. K. Wurtele, chairman of the Special Names Committee states that he will make the total of spec- ■ ial names subscriptions here in Huron County first in the Province• j and as it is understood savings’,ac- _ counts in the County of Huron are The , many times the quota of ($11,300,000, in fact, many times double the quota, there is every reason why the total subscriptions obtained by the County of Huron should be first in the Province. A publicity booklet will be mail­ ed to all Publicity Chairmen short­ ly, and commencing at 10 a.m., Thursday, May 29 th, a Canvassers’ Convention will be held in Goderich. At this Convention final instructions will be given and Mr. Sutherland, has been kind enough to loan the movie for the occasion. Publicity in a campaign such as this is of great importance as only with much out­ standing publicity will it be pos­ sible to make Huron County the first in Ontario, rather than just another County reaching its objective* HEIFER GOES WILD A heifer belonging to Wm, Frayne that was being delivered to the Hurondale beef ring went wild while being weighed at R. G.

We mean just what we say. The sky Will reverberate with the sound of a bursting bomb. Whistles, bells and sirens will announce the fact that the war loan drive is on. Huron County is out to be the first coun­ ty in the Dominion of Canada to announce that their objective has been reached. Everything possible will be done to impress upon the citizens of Huron the importance of participating in the lend for lib­ erty campaign, On Wednesday of next week an official car with scroll and torch will leave Goderich for a tour of the county and the loyal support of the municipalities will be pledged by the various mayors and reeves. As the procession proceeds it will be added to by representatives of these municipalities. This proces­ sion should, reach Exeter about seven o’clock in the evening and will likely go from here to Oredi- ton, Grand Bend, Dashwood, Zurich and Hensall, before concluding its itinerary at Clinton.
