Combined operations:: in - dude you, too. Despite the shortage of help and equip- ment, Canadian farmers have responded nobly to demands for increasedproduc; tion of foods.' But there is one thing on which a better job can still be done, MORE MONEY is needed to fight a more intensive war. All Canadians will be asked to furnish this money. It's a duty that we who are at home owe to the men on the fighting. fronts. Yn these days most farmers have higher incomes: money to save. And thatis the job thatthey are asked to do ... save money and lend it to Canaria. You are not asked to give money .. just to. lend it. When the war is over you'll have this money to "plough back" into your Tarin. So save now to lend to your. country. Save to have money toim- prove your farm; money for new stock and implements; money for more land or new buildings ..... for a new car for new furnishings and conveniences for your home. All you can lend is little enough for a cause so vital for a need so urgent. And the more that you can save and lend to your country now, the more you will have for your own use when the war ends. 1 CLUDE YO 79 6.40 .-...1 r,,;-..

C.M.F, Dear Mrs, Prentice;' Well, here goes a few lines to lee you, know that 1 received your most. welcome letter and I sure was glad to hear from you and also to get the clipping out of the paper you sent.. I also got the parcel you sent and the cigs. They always some just in: time as the ones you get down here. aci a no good at all. I think if I had to, smoke them all the time I -would: Bait. Well, we have had no snow yet but we get a little rain now and then and it is quite cold at night but the ' days are very nice. I have never seen any o£ the boys from back there yet, i hada letter from Joe Wild the. other day and he is still in England. I sure would like to be back there too.. but I don't think it will be long till we are all back home again the way things look. And we will soon all be back there tp go to, the dances. By the way are they having many and how are the crowds? Are there many at them? When we all get. back we will have forgotten how to dance. Oh yes, you were asking me what kind of a Christmas and if I had a good dinner. Well, it was not too good. For dinner we had stew and it was kind of hot that night at times and not much sleep into the bargain. But it has quieted a little from that day. Well I am just about stuck for- something orsomething to say and it is getting• around to bed: time, so I think I will sign off for this time. So Cherria• for now. • As ever, yours. Walter Tpr.

Feb. 10 1944., Dear Mrs. Prentice: I thought that I would drop you a: line or two to let you know that I! received your Christmas pareel two• clays ago. It came through wonderful-• ly considering the time it took. It was: especially welcome because we had: just come in from • a long, trip and it, was raining and snowing at the.. same time and everyone was feeling,' rather down in the clumps so it cer- tainly helped to cheer things up. By the way I saw Lloyd Westlake about a month ago. He was stationed quite near us then. He looked very well and we had quite a chat about old: times. I haven't run across any of: the other boys, though, but I suppose: most of them are somewhere around' Stere, I was very sorry to tear about Toni Scotehmer and John Armstrong, but perhaps they will turn up again.. at least I hope so. I have also re - delved two lots of cigarettes from you since I left England about throe months ago, so they are coming through fairly good, anyway. I think I will -close for this time as there: isn't any news that I can think of at. the present time. Give my best re- gards to everyone. Yours sincerely. • Bert.

THE HAPPENINGS IN CLINTON EARLY IN THE CENTURY Some Notes of the News in 1919. THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD April 10th, 1919 This week the News -Record enters upon its fortieth year, the paper be- ing first published in Blyth and known as The Huron Record. . The first publishers were R. Wrighton & Son of London, the son assuming management. The paper was started as an independent journal but during the Provincial elections of that year it supported the Conservation opposi- tion, led by W. R. Meredith, now Sir' William Meredith. In the fall of the same year, the paper, which had really become defunct through mismanage- ment, was bought by. Mr. Edward Floody, of Goderich Township school' teacher, now of the customs dept. Toronto, who published three issues and then moved the plant' to •Clinton, and launched it out as a straight Conservative paper, with ei ht pages and forty columns of matter. In seven months the paper increased its Hugh Maguire has taken a position sonlof Mrs. E. Herman, arrived hmue i Mr. H. S. Chapman., formerly of B' •t13ff' b d 't' list to over seven- hundred and carried twenty-two columns of advertising. In 1880 Mr. Floody disposed of the paper to Messrs. Blackely and Haviil of Galt. Mr. Havill- doming from the Galt Reporter, and in November of the same year the paper again chang- ed hands, Messrs. Blackely and Havill disposing of their interest to Mr. N. H. Buchmer of the Hamilton Times. Mr. Buchmer soon became discourag- ed with the strong opposition it had to meet and a mortgage on his hands and the business again came into the possession of Mr. Floody, who resold it to Messrs.. Whitely and Todd. of the Goderich News. The News then. merged in The Record and it became The. Clinton News -Record. It was so continued for a number of'years, un- til 1888 when it was' purchased by 1 Mr. W. J. Mitchell, who has previous- Iy published the Durham Chronicle, and he continued its publication until 'his untimely death in August 1916. In. October of the same year Mr. G. E.
