Multiply that fact by five hundred re facts nf the same kind, add the efefogy crowd* and mass v:ix'nts and yt.'u have the not of trouble.” As we said this is only of the ddvertLement, that part; about Wlnglnm. We quote only that part t.s we do nfo intend to write ab mt bevereee r j.mis in Teeswater or di.— except for these distorted so- ia.'t-. article >ays Wingham ha- hklrtv b- Ptlcggers. Before now much ha- been said :n this subject, but from information we can gather this figure is greatly exaggerated. True, we have -ume places where a litter can be purchased, but net thirty nor not many, many times less than thirty. « hir t> nvn here is a very fine and de cent place to live and shop. The ah »ve would make one surmise that we were aB drunken tot. This is hot so. The article says that Wingham is gring wet in the near future. This news to the people of Wingham as _ no effort is being made at present to ' | have a vote. This is a method to trj- jand scare people into voting as the article would wish them to. _The article says that a man who is Teeswater minded spends $800 a • year in Wingham and that this amount is 500 times greater. They infer that Wingham gets the business ? because Teeswater is dry. We are dry i here also. So this is a silly argument. J The reason people make their pur- . chases here is because there is no | town in Ontario, in fact in Eastern , Canada if we judge aright, that has such splendid stores and merchandise. That is why people travel to Wing ham to shop. Jji sjt | ARE YOU A SHREWD | INVESTOR | Although more and more Canadians I | are becoming regular investors in | War Savings Certificates, and al- jjtnougti large numbers are increasing [investment. As a rule in years gone i by, good m mey investments could only be made by citizens with some» re-erve capital. Never before has it been so easy for everybody t-.» buy a I gift edged security out of his weekly income. i The smart business people of Can- i ada of course are buying War Savings’ Certificates. The same insight and | foresight which has enabled them to ! become a little better off than the 1 average taxpayer prompts ‘ them to ’buy all the JIVar Savings Certificates , the government ■will allow them to buy. They know the interest rate is much higher than it might fo. c :.- sidering the tremendous security be hind them, and they know the certif icates are tax free. That is the rea son why the government will not per mit an individual to buy more than $480.00 every year. It would seem that the misinformed citizen who believes that the purchase of War Savings Certificates is a duty, or constitutes a sacrifice, is missing the goat. If all Canadians were as smart as the well-to-do persons who purchase the limit each month, there would be no need for canvassers to circulate among the people. Instead, there would be queues of purchasers lined up in front of War Savings Certificates’ Offices. s 3 f NEWS of the DISTRICT FACTS DISTORTED IN TEESWATER ADVT. An advertisement in the Teeswater j though 1 * ‘ ‘ paper on November 13th, which was | me size of their monthly War Savings published by a committee who call | investments as a result of the current themselves a Citizens' Committee, was j war weapons campaign, there is an headed, i4Wake L*p, Teeswater! Face These Facts” made reference to Wingham. First lei us explain that this advertisement is one trying to persuade Teeswater voters to vote tor a beverage room in that village. In J and there who have been duped into part this article says “Teeswater is the belief that money which goes into being bled white financially; its com-' War Savings Certificates may never petitors derive the benefit. Even be paid back. Somehow or other Wingham, a dry town, only proves they fail to grasp the obvious fact that the rule; for Wingham has many.the whole of Canada's immense re bootleggers—-there are thirty of them' sources stand behind every certificate; whose names were known a year ago —and Blyth, a wet village, is only a few miles further on, and the “Wing ham habit’3' has become very strong.
