Do you realize that Canadian Red Cross is asking $5,000,000 in these two weeks, they will need $10,00 0,00 0? we sure that we have given or in­ tend giving enough? Could we not do a little better if we tried? Are we pulling our full weight in this cause? The campaign will continue this week, and, if necessary longer, until everybody has been given a chance to help. The canvas for funds is now in its second week in Exeter and Dis­ trict. Few reports have come in from the outlying units of the Exe­ ter Red Cross Branch, but canvas­ sers are at work at all points. The women workers are now busy in Exeter, following the effort of the men in the business district. The men report very gratifying results in many instances where individuals amounts have been increased in many cases from five to ten dollars and from ten to twenty-five dol­ lars; and others are above those figures but on the other hand too many people have not realized that their contributions should have have been doubled or trebled ow­ ing to the urgency of the need for more money, increase our all endeavor early yet to what the total' may be, but we hope to have some idea by next week.

This is primarily an educational campaign to bring to the realization of Canadians that in buying “Baby Bonds” (War Savings Certificates) in varying amounts from $4.U0 up­ wards they can not only help their country but assure themselves of an attractive interest yield on the bpst security available in the Do­ minion. So in helping the girls’ good cause you serve your own good interests as well. Buy a War Sav­ ings Certificate, and, if you can, “sign U'P for the duration” by in­ structing your Bank to purchase another Certificate for you each and every month. If you couldn’t finance the pur­ chase of a War Loan Bond, buy a “Baby Bond” - one of War Savings Certificates, help your Country and when you fully realize that “You Serve by Saving.” Canada’s You will yourself HURON COUNTY SENDS $10,000 TO RED CROSS One of the first donations to reach the provincial campaign headquarters of the Canadian Red Cross at Toronto', was a check for $10,000 from the County of Huron.
