Vietory Loan opening on October 19. The County quota has been set at $1,900,000. which in turn has been. broken down for eaeh Canvass- ing District on"a per capita basis. The Municipal Chairmen generally agree that the quotas are equitable and will be reached, if not exceeded. The Canvassers have been selected with great care. These are the men who will make a thorough canvas of their territory. Everyone will be con- tacted. Every citizen will be expected to purchase Victory Bonds to the lim- it of his or her resources. Nothing matters now but Victory. This' is a total war. It calls for an all-out war effort :for everybody. No alibis are legitimate now. A, complete regort on each citizen will be made by the canvasser. These reports will he checked by the Muni- cipal Chairman, If deemed i wise, a call back will be made. The reason for this thoroughness is the urgentneed for a complete sales -coverage so that all available surplusl money in town, vil- lage `andcountry will be secured to purchase vital' supplies of war for our gallant boys in khaki and blue: Many a parent Yuts sent a son, many a wife has sent,: a husband, many a child has seen a father go overseas to protect Canada. What are the rest of us going to do? We are Canadians but have we done anything to prove it? It is the duty: .of every citizen to support the 3rd Victory Loan, It isn't possible to hide behind any smoke- screen any longer. It every citizen co- operatates fully in Huron County, the quota of $1,900,000 will be oversub- scribed in ten days following the op- ening. of the Loan, on October 19. Every dollar subseribed to the Third Victory Loan. is a dollar invested in (continued' on page 6) RED CROSS NOTES If there are any ladies in town who would like to sew for the Red Cross the workroom' is open every Tues- day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day afternoon.

V To Water and Light Users For the benefit of our light- and water consumers, we would like to inform them of the law regarding more than no householder using water or light off the same service. Quoting waterworks rules end re- gulations—"each separate tenant or sub -tenant of a single dwelling or building,or tenement house taking, water, will be charged the s checlule rates for water as if each were a separate consumer." "That no person being an occupant tenant or inmate of any house, build- ing, or the place supplied with water from the .waterworks system, shall Iend, sell, or dispose of the water thereof, or give away, or permit same to be taken or carried away, or use or apply it to the use or benefit, or shall increase the supply of water be- yond that agreed with the Corpora- tion or wrongfully neglect or impro- perly waste the water.". As regards electric serivee and sup- ply— Quoting upply-Quoting from Standard Interpreta- tions of Rules of ,the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario. "No consumer shall sell ,or dispose of electric service or supply provided of leectric service or supply provided by the Corporation, either directly, or indirectly, without consent of the Corporation, subject always to' the discretion of the Commission." "A. dwelling having more than one householdermetered, or one meter, will be billed on the basis of the nun-, her of self-contained domestic • estab•• lishments served." _ ' We trust this will clear up any misunderstanding of the situation.

V The Financial Home Front Last Sunday a high ranking German official announced that it was the first duty of all German occupied countries to supply food for Germany and her armed forces and that policy would bevigorously adhered to re- gardless of who went without bread. In Poland alone two and a half mil- lion people are said to have been murdered or starved to death by the aggressors. Some people still say "it can't hap- pen here," but that is what the Bel- gians, the Norwegians, the Holland' - e said,yet it e• the ..Greeks and others rs did happen there, That is why another victory loan is being launched in Canada by the Gov- ernment. Thistimeit is to raise $750,000,000 an enormous sum, but what use will our money or our homes be if the Germans shonl'd win the war? .
