an opportunity to aid in financing
Canada’s war effort by purchasing
War Savings Stamps and Certificates.
The objective for Canada is $10,000,-
000 monthly, $7,000,000 more than has
been raised monthly up to' the end of
the year. Help in this great task to
back our men in the Active Service
Forces and also prepare our country
for proper defense against our enem
ies. The information has been supplied
to you by various means and the pup
ils of the High School are doing the
collecting. Many have not as yet giv
en a definite answer as to what part
they will play in this great campaign.
If you are one of these, make a gen-
teous decision at once. Plan to buy
stamps or certificates as often as pos
sible. Regular investment is hoped for
and our objective is $2000 monthly,
so all will have to participate if we
are to go over the top.
