Up Tilt& the lacework of the trees About the sugar camp, Syrupy vapors slowly rise, Like Mist from out the swamp. The soft brown earth lies bare and free Front winter's melting snows, The old dog sleeps upon the porch, And Puss plays with her tos.

S I • I ei The names in this newspaper that interest you most are names of boys you know who are on active service . . . boys from this community. You used to read their names in school reports, in church and Sunday school items, in news of sport. You read these names today in news from' the fighting fronts. So often now these names make sad news. Let's do all we can to hasten the day When our newspapers can tell of happy things. Yes, we can do something to hasten that glad day. When we do this job we help to win victory sooner. We help to end the war sooner. And we do something to benefit ourselves. The job that we are asked to do is to save our money and lend it to our country. As each new fighting front is opened more money is needed. More people must be ready to furnish this money. More Victory Bonds will be issued, Those who have not bought Victory Bonds before must buy them. Those who have bought bonds Must buy more. We are not asked to give . . . we are just asked to lend. We will have money for 'things we plan to do, after the war. ' Dedicate yourself to this war effort something you can do . . one thing you must do. Your help is urgently needed. *(A Newspaper saying—"Natnes Maki News") '.:NittigakOilt!;`,43014.t.‘&4,:i?, 6.39 4 Ar010411 War PitUktloO eoriimitide a WINGHAM ADVAi\TCE-TIME$ PAGg MOM illtursclay, April 6th, 1944 HON.
