We Must Win
WE SIIALL WIN
Today the freepeoplesof the world are
banded together in a gigantic battle to preserve
freedom. The foes of freedom are strong, well pre-
pared, ruthless.
To defeat them we must become stronger, better
prepared. The only way we can do this is to pro-
vicla our fighting forces with stronger weapons,
better weapons -and more of them!
That's the reason Canada is borrowing money
... and that's the reason why you should lend your
money to 'Canada.
So let's "beat the life out of the savage Nazis"
by investing in the new Victory Bonds to the full
limit of our ability.

Colts Outscored the Siskins Sunday Evening Meeting
▪ 6-3
GODERICH AT CLINTON-
TONIGHT
One of the roughest games seen,.
here for a long time was the Clinton-
Waterloo
lintonWaterloo game Friday night in which
the 'Colts outscored the Siskins 6.3.
The ice was' sticky' and the going
tough. Tempers appeared tobe on
edge, consequently penalties were
numerous.
Sixteen minutes of the first period
had passed before Draper opened the
scoring for the Colts in a solo. effort.
Richardson made it a pair in one min -
lite from the face-off. The Siskins
put on a power play and with 30 eec-
ends to go, the Vogt brothers combin-
ed to score their first goal
cod frame, In the se n m Pete G ran tied a e G
thescore after ten minutes of play.
Conney Mr.Ewan put the Colts in the
lead again, with Bartliff getting the
assist. Searrow increased the lead' af-
ter two minutes of play and the last
minute of the period was ticked off
when Cotey scored fortheSiskins.
The third period was rough and five
penalties were earnee. Solomon' was
waved for tripping. Bartliff got a
minor for high sticking. Clair got
rough with Punch McE,wan and both
were sent into the pen. Clair was
again waved before the period was
over and was in wrong with the fans.
The third stanza was only started
when Timmer McEwan carried the
puck from centre ice and in a solo
rush got inside the Siskins' defence
and found the net, giving the Colts a
two -goal margin. Searrow made it
one better in two minutes from the
'face-off.
A regretable incident occurred when
Lang and Scarrow were in a mix
against the hoards, Scarrow received
a blow across the head with the blade
of a stick and was knocked out. Dr.
Oakes rendered first aid and had him
carried to the dressingroom. Lang
was waved to the penalty box for a
Major.

Lack of ice forced the postpone-
ment of Friday night's Seaforth-God-
erich intermediate hockey game. As
a result of their idleness, the Fliers
dropped into the cellar in the Huron -
Waterloo group. Clinton's above vic-
tory over Waterloo lifted the Celts
from last place.
After last Friday night's game the
Colts presented Leading Aircrafts-
man Cecil McConnell ,with a billfold
containing g One Dollar Bill, as a tok-
en of appreciation for the valuable
help he has given the tenni- since his
coining to the nearby Radio School.

Dear Secretary: -
This is just a few words of appre-
ciation from one of the chaps, who
was fortunate enough to receive one
of the scarves and two pairs of socks
distributed by your Branch of the
world-wide oragnization, which is do-
ing so much to spread cheer and com-
fort, and case the pain and suffering
so prevalent in the world today.
Although we ourselves are not,
shall I say, virtually on active ser-
vice, in many cases we are quite a
distance from our homes and families.
Therefore, all such kindnesses shown
by such organizations as yours ,are
very much appreciated. May your
