Morris Township JOINING THE ARMY
Barn, Crop Lost
(By A New Recruit)
Fire broke out Wednesday about
6:00 pm. on the farm of Albert Nes-
bitt, concession 7, Morris. Mr.
Nesbitt and his son evere plowing on
the larnn• when .a neighlbor noticed
the blaze coaulhtg from the barn.
The blaze started on the inside of
the barn but its ,origin is uuknown.
All the seoson's crop was lost be-
sides a hay -loader, wagon and cream
separator. Loss of stock included
about 200 pullets which load been
recently moved to the barn, and a
nvanber of pigs. Fortunately the
wind was in the right direction
allowing the house and drive shed
to be saved. No esttbnate of the
damage has yet been made,
Thousands of men in civilian
clothes have; since the start of the
present war, walled through the
gates of Wolseley Barracks, London,
to eventually march Out in the
Icing's uniform, yet few if any of
the men knew beforehankl the
various twits they would go through
before being accepted into the army.
Frequently filled with weird tales
cf the "horrors' 'and "ordeals" they
would have to pass through before
they were finally allowed to don the
khaki., Many of the recruits faced
enlistment with a certain amount of
fear. Fear that is not unlike that
experienced by some men about

bought the new Victory Bonds:
When you buy Victory Bonds you are laying
up for yourself the best of all investments, for
back of each one is your country's solemn
promise that every dollar you invest in Victory
Bonds will be repaid to you in full, plus a
fair rate of interest. You can borrow against
them, and they are readily saleable when you
need the cash. And that solemn promise of
repayment in full is backed by all the vast
resources of the Dominion of Canada.
When the war is over, you will want to buy
all the things we must deny ourselves now.
Then, your Victory Bonds will give you the
money to buy all these — and your purchases
will provide new employment for our boys
when they come home again.
What's your share of the savings job? Well,
