By it, all Governments, ♦— Dominion, Provincial and Muni­ cipal—are enabled to work more effectively and econ­ omically in the interest of every resident of the Dominion. In these days of increasing Govern- 23 ment responsibili- ties, no Government can give the best service unless it has _ detailed and accu- 1 rate knowledge of the people and their varying circum­ stances. That is why we request the co-operation of all Canadian citizens in the taking of the Census. When the Government’s Enumerator calls at your door, re­ ceive him courteously and give him all the information for which he asks. Remember that he is in your ser­ vice. Accuracy and despatch in your replies will promote good administra­ tion in your country, now under stress of war and facing crucial post-war reconstruction. ALL INFORMATION SUPPLIED HELD STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL <• You can place absolute trust in the official Enumerator, who is sworn to secrecy. AU the information which you provide will be held in strictest confidence both by him and the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and can never be used against you by- any tax-col­ lecting, 'military, or other agency, or in any court of law. It is compulsory by law to answer the questions, but you will be assisting your Government in these difficult times by giv­ ing the information readily and accurately in the spirit of good citizenship.

PLAN TO INVEST IN VICTORY LOAN BONDS (Continued From Page One) 'and will conquer us. “WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE WAR?” We can and must, but only if we are willing to make sacrifices to­ day will we be able to look forward to tomorrow, with confidence and hope and the inner knowledge that we, the present citizens of this great country of ours, and those who -follow after us, will be dictated to by only ourselves. Total war means total war every­ where and one element necessary in order to wage war totally is money. We are shortly to be asked to lend our money to our Government and it-is up to each individual one of us to res­ pond to our fullest extent. Chairmen of Municipalities The organization necessary for the successful execution of this loan is be­ ing set up rat the present time in Hur­ on County and the Chairmen for the different Townships and Towns in this area are as follows: Ashfield Twp(, Mr. Alex. Hackett, Lucknow. West Wawanosh, Mr. Thos. Web­ ster, R.R. 2, Auburn. East’Wawanosh, Mr. Alex. Porter­ field, Belgrave. Grey, Mr. Harry Fear, Ethel. Turnberry, Mr. Benson Cruikshank, R.R. 2, Wingham. Wingham, Mr. J. W. McKibbon, Wingham, Howick, Mr. K. J. Hueston, Gorrie. Morris,.Mr. George Martin, R.R. 4, Brussels. Brussels, Mr. Robt. Bowman, Brus­ sels. Blyth, Mr. Leslie Hilburn, Blyth. Each of the above chairmen will be responsible for his territory and it will be his responsibility to obtain as large a total of subscriptions as possible. The major objective in the forth­ coming Victory Loan will be to se­ cure as large an army of small sub­ scribers as possible. With this end in view, the Victory Loan Campaign will be a house to house canvass and an official prospect­ us and a letter from the Minister of Finance will be mailed to every home in the Country. ’Every householder will also receive an illustrated booklet describing Can­ adians at war and in addition the banks and Trust Companies are co-operat­ ing to their fullest extent by sending letters to all of their depositors, urg­ ing them to buy Vicory Loan Bonds. Most recent figures show that the- savings accounts in banks at the pre­ sent time are tremendous and this loam should be an overwhelming success, .q In is understood that the bonds will be issued in $50.00 and $100.00 denom­ inations as well as the larger denom­ inations and they may be paid for ov­ er a period of from 3 to 6 months. During the first Great War each township in the County of Huron ably demonstrated its loyalty by well over­ subscribing its allotment for War Loan Bonds and it is to be hoped that this reputation will be maintained.
