and the Matinee Musicale, of which
she was one time president and
chairman of the scholarship fund

FOURTH VICTORY LOAN
The new Victory Loan Drive com
mences on April 26, just six months
after the third Victory Loan. The
minimum Canadian objective
1,1.00,Qoo.ooo, while the lust miu*’
imum objective was ?750,'000,000.
That means that the Canadian Gov
ernment js asking for at least al-
most one and one-half times as much
as asked for six months ago. The
people of each province, each coun
ty and each municipality will have
quotas set that are much larger than
before—-on an average probably
one-third higher. Consequently each
person concerned with the effort te
raise the loan will have to work
much harder than ever before. They
are willing tO’ do it and are anxious
to get at the job. All their efforts
would be in vain, however, if the
general public does not make up its
mind to invest to the very last dol
lar possible. Do not forget this fact
—it is up to the public to invest to
the limit of the money they have on
hand, and the money they may re
ceive in the next six months. Buy all
you can for cash, then buy all you
can on the installment plan. We can
not let the fighting forces down.
Shortly they will be attacking on
land, on sea and in the air, and we
must “back the attack”
Advisory and publicity commit
tees have been set up in Exeter,
Stephen and Usborne to assist in
the work of securing a full effort
in the Victory Loan drive. In Exe

sung by an intermediate choir,
"Lord of Galilee” and “Shine

the speaker.. His text was “Net
My Will but Thine Be Done”. He
said it was a challenge to speak to
youth. He had no fear for the fu
ture with young people trained for
Christian leadership. He spoke of
the great world traveller, Dr. Mott,
spreading Christian influence and
of the work of Dr. Kagawa, of Ja
pan, who had accomplished -marvel
ous things in the name of Christ in
that country. It is tile responsibili

a knowledge of Jesus Christ and his
religion of love and brotherhood.
What pleasures do we derive from
our religion? Does it lift the mind,
help the human body and. enrich the
soul? He spoke of an inscription at

Group Captain E. G. Fullerton
presented wings to the graduation
class at the wings presentation on
Tuesday, April 6. In his address,
Group Captain. Fullerton emphasiz
ed several points necessary for
successful careers in this form of
service. Physical fitness is a vital
requirement so that at all times
and in all emergencies, both mind
and body are alert and fit to meet
all conditions. Loyalty to superiors,
so that unity of aim is unimpaired
is still another pertinent attribute.
Bear in mind that always more can.'
be learned. An unusually large num
ber of relatives and friends attend
ed the reception following the pre
sentation. One feels that each grad
uating class is but another step in
the march of events towards vic
tory. The entire world is deeply
conscious that to the calibre
fitness of our airmen much of
future depends. Well said
these words: “Look upward .
there flies Freedom.”

The regular -monthly dance in
the Drill Hall was an unqualified
success. Music by the Station or

pleasure for all in attendance. Our
W.D.’s have taken over the task of
providing refreshments and, it must
be noted here that they do well with
this task alloted to them.
The London Little Theatre troupe
played to a capacity house in the
Drill Hall Thursday evening, April
8 th. Outstanding was the piano
artistry of Mrs. Ingram and the bril
liant violin numbers of Mrs. Har
ris. Following the show, members
of the cast were served with re
freshments. Dancing then became
the order of the evening.
The International Varieties troupe
under the sponsorship of the Dions
Club of Sarnia gave us a most en
joyable Sunday night show. Mem
