ONE TEAM
* Nearly a million Canadian men and women
in the armed services of the Dominion, more
than a million in war industry, and all the
others on the home front —have onei goal in
sight, a complete and speedy victory.
Teamwork counts as never before, for now
the game is in its final, crucial stages. We must
all put forth extra effort, Use even more of our
resources, to make the finish swift and sure.
It is urgent that in this Seventh Victory Loan
we each buy at least one more bond than we
.bought before. It Is our duty to our team
mates; our duty to our children who will enjoy
the fruits of victory. Let us do our duty gladly,
ithat we may earn our place onour winning team.
INVEST IN VICTORY
Do Not
Lag Behind
What right have we civilians to
lag behind? When Canadian fight
ing men are facing possible death
every day—in more danger each
day than we would be in a whole
lifetime—how can we keep money
in the Bank rather than invest it
in Victory Bonds to help these
fighting men? How can we refuse
to help in the only way open to us
—by buying bonds? Is a man jus
tified in refusing to buy bonds just
because he pays an income tax?
Would a soldier refuse to carry a
bayonet just because he carried a
rifle?
Fairfield Farm Forum met at the
home of Herman Powe on Monday
evening. “Why farmers leave the
land” was discussed. It was decid-
ed that farmers leave the land be
cause of financial difficulties, bet
ter opportunities elsewhere, some
not fitted for farming and some
having retired because of age or ill
health. Mrs. Ted Lamport was ap
pointed Secretary for the ensuing
year. Games were then played and
lunch served. The next meeting will
be held at the home of Joe White.
Everyone in the section is asked to
attend.

A POEM FROM OVERSEAS•
The following poem has beep re
ceived by Mr. and Mrs, Hector N.
Heywood, of Exeter, written in
France by their sop, Sgmn. Calvin
Heywood while the Canadians
fighting at Caea;
Twenty-nine years fo this very
My father dressed in this same
his comrades and they too
khaki-clad, like me and you,
too, were here to win a war,
of them knew not what for.
They
Some
They fought and died in this game
way,
Like some of these who died to-day.
They crossed a river, took a hill
And shot the pants off Kaiser Bill,
But alas, alack, Twas all in vain,
For that same war we fight again.
It’s not for us to look ’round in vain,
And try so hard to fix the blame
On any person, great or small,
The fault is in us, one and all.
And if we had really tried
To help the man we lived beside,
I’m fairly sure there’d have been no
war,
Like the one our fathers fought ,
before.
I only hope when all is through
That these my friends
too,
Will rest
And the
war.
were
Every one of us... proud
at this hour to be a Can
adian ... should support
Canada’s 7th Victory
Loan by buying Bonds to
the absolute liinit. Only
in this way can we help
repay the sacrifice of our
fighting lads and crown
theit' heroic advances
with final victory.
