Dear Sirs;-- It irstIt would be appreciated, if you would give valuable space in your paper for 'a few observations on the Second Victory Loan. In aid' •of thin Loan a number of matteas of public interest have been undertaken. A Sacred Service was held in: the Town Hall on Sunday ev- ening, the 15th instant, and while the attendance was not large, we believe that those who attended, were deeply,, grateful to Rev. W. A,. Beecroft .of Wingham for his enaauraging and stimulating message. • Unfortunately, the weather was very bad' at the holding of "The Tor- ch" etremonies in front of the Town Hall on Friday, the 2Oth instant, but again our thanks aro dtte to Wing Commader Cocks for his interest and cooperation in malting these cere- monies se. c:ssf.,1. The presence 01 the school children' gave additional interst in these ceremonies. On Saturday evening a variety show was put on in the Town Hall. We de- sire to make it clear, however, that this entertainment was iii no way fin- anced or sponsored by the Govern- ment. The idea of sending a travel-' ling show through the Country belong to a number of Toronto fines, who' have undertaken this plan at their own risk. These firms are British American Oil, Canada Bud, G.C.M., Canada Packers, Canadian Acute' Screw & Gear, Canadian General E1-' ectric, Chrysler Corporation of Can- ada, Coca-Cola of Canada, Cosgrave's Dominion Brewery, Dominion Stores, T. Eaton Company Limited, Imperial Oil limited, John Inglis Co. Ltd, John Labatt Go.

Ltd., Silverwood's Dairies, Simpson's' Ltd., Standard Fuel of Toronto, Toronto, Daily Star, To- ronto Elevators Ltd., Vi -tone Sales Ltd. Don't forget the School Concert on Friday night the 27111 instant, hi the Town Hall, Messrs. Jefferson are) Durin advise us this promises to be one of the finest concerts ever put on by the seehool children. Let us en- (courage •the youth in their endeavor by being present at their concert. • The response to the appeal for the, sale of Ronde by the factory employ- ees in Town has been very gratifying. Arrangementes were made by the ma- nagement of each firm for the em- I ployees tq hear a specially well in- Formed speaker. Our thanks ate clue all those who so wholeheartedly made these successful. The response to the appeal to buy bonds far the Sand Victory' Loan has been very gratifying to date. In the First Victory Loan floated in June last, the people of Clinton subscribed just over $130,000.00. Our quota on that occasion was $65,000.00, so that there was subscribed just slightly ov- er 200% of cur quota. This time the Clinton quota is $1161650.00 We can- not afford to fall below the: amount subscribed last June. The need for money is ever greater .and greater se our Country gathers its. strength for war. Our fighting Forces must be adequately equipped— as good or better than the forces of the enemy. Many of the finest of our Canadian manhood have, and wl'1 make the complete sacrifice. Many will have their lives spared if they are equipped with the bent that scien- ce can devise and, money, can produce. It is na sacrifice to buy Dominion. of Canada Bonds. But we should• all sacrifice luxuries, comforts. and even some necessities, so that. the fruits of these sacrifices may be put at the disponi of the Govern -- mend and so that it in turn may ad- equately equip our Forces, who, in turn are prepared to the end that the war may be kept from our shores. Help tis to be sure Clinton is at least as good as in June last. We have quite a way to go. Buy more Bonds. today. Signed' on behalf of the Local Com- mittee. F. FINGLAND. V COLTS WIN BUT OUT OF PLAY-OFFS The Clinton. Colts defeated the Goderieh Fliers stere last night in the last scheduled game of the season. This game had no bearing on the play-offs as the Colts had no chance of entering the finals -despite their winning 9-5. The game was unevent-• ftil with no fights and enly two pen-• alties going to Young and Davidson of Goderich. Play seemed to drag throughout and the Colts were minus. Punch McEwan, Ken Pickett, Bola Draper and Red Rath. Ed. Stevenson of the R.C.A.F. played, goal and Neil- ans on defence an arrangement which worked well. Izzy Powell was back. in centre again.
