With preparation for a funeral service scheduled to take place in Toronto, Wednesday of last week, the body of a Grand Bend resident was identified and the funeral ar­ rangements were changed. Visit­ ing the funeral home, after reading of the death, a former resident of Grand Bend, William Baker, now working in Toronto, identified the body as that of a former resident of Grand Bend district. Mr. Baker communicated with T. Harry Hoff­ man, of Dashwood, and relatives were located. The service sched­ uled for Toronto was then cancell­ ed. The body of the victim, Adol­ phus Desjardine, aged 59, was brought to Dashwood Wednesday night and the funeral service was held from the T. Harry Hoffman funeral home at three o'clock on Thursday afternoon. Burial was in the Grand Bend Cemetery.

Mr. Desjardine is survived by a bro­ ther, Placid, near Dashwood, and a 'sister, Mrs. Olan Truemner, also of near Dashwood, as well as rela­ tives in the West. FOURTH VICTORY LOAN IS EXPLAINED TO LIONS AT REGULAR MEETING (continued from page 1) amounts will have to be subscribed. The deposits in the bank this time are 13 per cent, larger. than they were at the beginning of the last loan. The slogan for the loan is “Back the Attack”. The sooner the Allies are supplied with the re­ quirements of the war the sooner will, our boys be home again. Bonds that are bought now can be con­ verted into cash on very short notice should the money be requir­ ed. Arrangements for buying bonds to be paid within six months are much easiei’ this time than last time. Dollars are needed to “Back the Attack.” Bruce Fisher, of the London and Western Trust Company, was also a speaker and he gave a very en­ lightening talk on the making of a Will. With income taxes and suc­ cession duties' to be paid when winding up an estate it is impor­ tant that the assets of an estate be distributed in such a manner as to effect the greatest savings possible. Mr. Fisher, by way of illustration, took the case of a $50,000 estate and outlined the amounts to be paid out for income tax and succession duties. Various ways in which the estate could be administered would mean a considerable saving in tax­ es. He emphasized that where there was a fair amount of life insurance this might profitably be paid to the beneficiary in monthly instalments until the money is exhaused. He advocated that all persons should see their lawyer and have a will properly drawn’ up and he gave numerous reasons why a trust com­ pany can serve to good advantage. HARPLEY Mrs. W. H. Hayter, who has been spending the winter in Detroit, re­ turned to her home here oil Satur­ day.

Mr, Ross Brown spent the week­ end With friends at Toronto. RETURN FROM CASABLANCA t A young Canadian warrant of­ ficer in the R.O.A.F. has just come home from (Casablanca. Outward­ ly, there is little to set him apart fro'm the thousands of other clear- eyed, stalwart young Canadians wearing Air Force blue on the streets today, but there the simi­ larity ceases. This lad is suffering from malnutrition. Ris impressions of Casablanca were gained long before that his­ toric conference which made the name a byword the world over, but that town will always stand out in his memory for two othex" reasons. It was at Casablanca that he was shot down by anti-aircraft fire and it was there that he got hfs first real meal after five months in a German prison rcamp 200 miles deep into French Africa. Soon after the landing of Ameri­ can troops at Oran, this young Can­ adian flyer was released, along with other Canadian’and British service­ men, and made his way back to Can­ ada via Gibraltar, England and New York. One of the first things this lad did on his return was to visit the Toronto “packing centre of the Canadian Red Cross so that he could personally express his thanks for the prisoner of war 'food par­ cels which, he claims, saved the lives A sure way to save money is to save it in small sums—as you get it. Victory Bonds —which can be paid for in small instal­ ments covering a six-months’ period— provide a convenient methods of carrying out a savings programme. Your Victory Bond salesman will tell you all particulars. WHAT IS A VICTORY BOND? A VICTORY BOND is the promise of the Dominion of Canada to repay in cash the full face value of the Bond at the time stipulated, with half-yearly interest at the rate of 3 % per annum until maturity. A Victory Bond is the safest investment in Canada. The entire resources of the Dominion stand behind it. Canada has been issuing bonds for 75 years, and has never failed to pay every dollar of principal and interest. A Victory Bond is an asset more readily converted into cash than any other security. 'LAST YEAR ? One of these days a man will call on you to talk to you about saving money. The caller will be one of your neighbors, or a man from your nearest town who is likely well known to you. He is asking you to save money when he asks you to buy a Victory Bond. He is not asking you to give money to anybody or anything. You save money when you buy a Victory Bond . . . and you lend your money to Canada to help win the war. The money you save is yours. You will get it back later on, and have it to do anything you wish with it. And Canada will pay you 3 % interest on your savings every year until the loan is paid back to you. TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU ARE GETTING ALONG This is something that every man should do now and then. You will see how you are getting along by comparing savings with earnings. It’s what you save that counts. Perhaps you will say you saved all you could. Did you? "Remember you are asking yourself questions. You are not getting figures to show anyone but your­ self. Can you figure out how you can save more? of 300 prisoners at that particular camp. To use his own words; “Our daily diet of lentil soup and black bread wasn’t very nourishing. Without the Canadian Red Cross food par­ cels, we would certainly have starv­ ed to death.” Providing food parcels for pris­ oners of war has become the great­ est and most appreciated function of the Canadian Red Cross today and, at the same time, the most ex­ pensive. CREDITON EAST Mr, Alvin Flynn, of London, spent the week-end at his home here. Mrs. Harold MacDonald and Mar­ cia have returned to Exeter after a week’s visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Baynham. Mrs. Sam Baynham spent last week in Exetei’ with Mr. and Mrs. H.

Howard and Mrs. Truemner and son returned to London on Sun­ day after two weeks’ holidays with Mr, Dan Truemnei’ and Mrs, Aaron Wein and at Exeter with Mrs. Truemner’s parents. POTATO SUFFLY AND PRICES Ontario potato growers consider­ ed many important phases of their business at the recent annual meet­ ing of the Ontario Crop Improve­ ment Association, held recently in the King Edward Hotel, Toronto. Potato supplies on hand and prices for the ’future were not overlooked. To assist in clarifying the present situation in consumers’ minds, it was explained that apparent short­ age of potatoes on several OxHario markets was not due to any fault of farmers themselves, but largely to very unusual seasonal weather conditions. Growers unanimously expressed their willingness to do everything 'possible to relieve any shortage of supplies. Growers were urged to market a 11 available supplies wherevei* possible without delay, as a means of relieving the present scarcity, and assist in providing suf­ ficient quantities to meet constant demands. The unusual unfavorable weather conditions' were 'given as the most important reason for delay in market­ ing. Regular deliveries during re­ cent months have often been delay­ ed‘because of storms and exception­ ally bad roads. The 1942 Ontario crop was about one million bushels less than the year previous, and Bray Chick Hatchery Exeter, phone 246 Alvin W. Kerslake, Hdnsal! or N. M. Wiley, Co-op­ erative, Ailsa Craig there were unusually heavy market­ ings during the early fall and win­ ter months from Ontario points. In considering that Ontario potato producers are being requested to increase production by 10 per cent during 1943, a resolution was pass­ ed, requesting the Dominion Gov­ ernment to give some definite as­ surance in ample time previous to planting by way of establishing satisfactory floor prices as an in­ centive to production, Follow the Classifieds—they save you money.
