get-together a Contact Club may be
formed and tfcat Service men’s

O.’s, airmen and airwomen are all
eligible to attend and as many civil
ians as like to come from Exeter,

come. The Station Orchestra (with

some new top numbers) will be in

anteed for all. Tickets will be 25
cents a head and the proceeds will

for the Recreation Room at Grand

to run a dancing class and the first

quite surprised at the number of

cannot dance and miss all the fun
at our regular Tuesday evening
’hop’ and we are sure that now they
have the chance they will quickly
remedy the situation.
Picture shows last week were

DUTIES
Be loyal, obey the laws, pay
ordinary taxes, provide for self
and family, save something for
future independence—these
are the relatively simple duties
of citizenship in peace-time.
But in war-time things are dif
ferent. Even though he may not
have the privilege of
joining the armed
forces, the citizen has
arduous duties, which call on his great
est resources of character, industry and
financial means. Added to the normal
IZENSHIP
requirements are the obliga
tions of extraordinary taxes,
Victory Bonds and war charities.
So great are the financial duties
imposed by war that the citizen
must resort to unusual, drastic,
systematic, determined saving
to meet them.
The Bank of Montreal offers
you the service of a Special Sav
ings Account, in which you can
deposit every pay-day, or other income
date, the right proportionate amount to
cover your war obligations when due.
