It is essential we give our forces the backing that will help them march right in to the last enemy stronghold, to claim a complete, lasting victory. It is up to each of us to do our utmost, 'til these footsteps turn toward home without delay, to help our men achieve the goal we have all dreamed of now so long — unconditional surrender It’s time to act! Every bond we buy in this Seventh Victory Loan hastens the day when the boys come home! That is why it is vital each of us buy one more bond than we bought before* The Village of Exeter Sponsored by Utilities Commission Lucan went over its objective in the (Seventh Vlvtory Loan, on the morning of the opening of the loan. With 600 population, 117 Lucan residents subscribed $80,050 or 166 per cent of its objective, the objective being $61,600. The vil* Iago council proclaimed a public holiday in recognition of the record bond-buying campaign, Which was conducted by the Lucan Service Chib. A Bit Of Luck When the name of a was called out in court, everybody’s amazemtn, he in the jury-box. “What doing there?” snapped the clerk, “I was called to serve on the jury,” was the meek reply, “But yon must have known you couldn’t sit on a jury and try your own case?” "I suppose not,” admitted the plaintiff ruefully, “I did think it was a bit of luck.” SHIF^KA Tho Ladies’ Aid meotig will be held Thursday of this week at tho home of Mrs. M, C.

Urgent General McNaughton, who knows, says: “For the few months the kind of war is that it is a guestion of lives munitions.” The battles are tinuous and terrific in their inten­ sity. The toll of lives of our boys Will be heavy. The only way we can lighten that toll is to supply them with an abundance of fighting material. Which do we want—more boys killed or more munitions bought? Victory Loans buy munitions. Our attitude on buying bonds reflects our desire as to whether the boys lives are saved or not. Have you done your full share? Are you one who only buys a little bond when you could buy more? Are you one who will not even let the salesman into your home to discuss the matter with you? We have such people, but, thank God, they are few. Let everybody get behind the boys, and “Invest in Victory.” man next such and con- Mrs. Valentine Mackey .
