IV VICTORY LOAN ¥ BROAD t would H3 OUTLOOK NEEDED a / seem that many of us have such a narrow outlook that we hardly ever look beyond our own home or business or farm. In other words, we are self-centred— not thinking of the other fellow------not taking an interest in Municipal, County, Provincial or Dominion matters, except only as they affect our own home or business or farm. To-day it has become necessary that to be a good citizen one has to take a Broad Outlook—beeause there is only One World—not our little world—but one that takes into account the whole Globe—all the continents and peoples of the earth. War has taught us this lesson—that what affects other parts of the earth affects us. While we may not be directly attacked by fire and sword, we must realize that we must do our share to help to bring peace to the world again. Our present duty is clear. We have a Victory Loan to put over.We’ have to back up the fighters.We simply have to win. Only 3 days left Make these days count by investing every dollar you can in the Loan.
