ICE fellow, George—one of the lads from the office. Remember, you had him out for dinner one night. He made a great fuss over your kids—and your wife was very pleased. And then, all of a sudden, he slipped away and joined, up. Left his good job, his girl and his future. And he was at Dieppe, slogging up the beach into a murderous rain of steel—fighting for you and your wife and those kids of yours he played with. And that same night you slept well, didn't you ... in a soft bed. You had an egg for breakfast too. But George didn't. And you've still got a good job and you wear good clothes. And being conscientious, you worry about these things a bit. But you just haven't been able to push yourself into doing much more than pay your taxes. Well, those taxes -aren't enough. Think of what George gave up, and then sit down with your wife and ask yourselves, "What else can we do ?" Sure, you've given up a few little luxuries. But there are lots of things yet that you can cut down. on. Do it gladly. Because you'll really get a, kick out of investing the money you save in Victory Bonds, and in knowing you're not letting George do it all. - - - Just keep thinking about George and what he gave up. And remember, those Victory Bonds you buy aren't giving—they're lending your country money to help protect you. That money will come back to you with interest. - - - WORK -SAYE ANA GENA FOGY I1ICTORYF from George Laois and Son of Clinton It has just been discovered that stink weed, so common in the West- ern Provinces, has made its appear- ance in Huron County.

Excellency the Governor General of Canada, the week of October 4th, to 10th, has-been set aside as Fire Pre- vention Week. Why a Fire Prevention Week? Fire Prevention is a matter which needs attention fifty-two weeks in a year. It has been found ' desirable, however, for thepasttwenty-two or twenty-three years to designate a week in. which the- public conscious- ness may be impressed with the enor- mous cost of our:waste in the hope that conditions may be improved and carelessness reduced., Canada's fire waste in 1941 amount ed to more than $28,000,000 in prop- erty loss and 323 lives lost. If we are to give' of our best in this war against Naziism, -Fascism and Jap- anese Imperialism, we must reduce our fire waste by many million doll- ars. We must realize that every fire is a national - calamity, something that eats into our.reserves of much needed material or • slows down pro- duction. Fire is one of the means by which the enemy hopes to defeat us and it doesn't shatter whether it is of - accidental origin or set by a CHURCH ce 't 'of Mrs. 8 p.m. _Wp Serowe at BayfieldProctor of Holmesvrllq , bought a number of ponies. 'To these desboro has been the goes Mr. Lewis Carelessness is the greatest sabot- eur of date in Canada. We can eliminate that threat to our war effort by being more careful - with. fire in our daily life. All fires are sniall in thea beginning but they may develop into conflagrations. Our duty is to see that they don't start. Fire Prevention is really an appli- cation of comomn sense, such as for example, being sure that your cigar- ette is out before you throw it away, examining your heating applicances for defects before starting up, the winter fire, seeing that there is noth- ing near your stoves that could catch fireinyour absence. There are many other ways in which fires start but my being careful we can remove the conditions which so often result in tragedy. Let us resolve to be careful not only in Fire Preven- tion Week but during the other fifty- two , weeks of the year. ' Your local fire chief can help you. Co-operate with him in removing fire ` dangers from your home or factory and there- by add one more to your effort to win the war. - - - Hunters' Group Asks that May 1st be Reforestation Holiday.
