TI- URSDA . -OCTOBER 22, 1942 • THE HOME PAPER Responsibilities GO WITH RIGHTS In no other country in the world do citizens enjoy more wholly the privileges; and rights of free democracy than do we in Canada. But the very nature of democracy that creates those rights, creates the responsibility of maintaining them. Hundreds of thousands of young Canadians have decided. that Canada is worth fighting for; We other hundreds of iho'etands at home MUST decide that Canada is worth WORKING for— SAYING for—LENDING for. Nothing Matters Now But Victory Buy the New VICTORY BONDS Space Donated By W. H. HELLYAR Spendirg.AS IJsuai Just as out-of-date as "business as usual" In these days of higher taxes and compulsory savings, no one can "spend as usual" and have enough money to buy Victory Bonds. The choice is now clear and simple. Either you will continue to buy things; you can get along without -or you will confine your buying to necessi- ties and invest every possible dollar in Victory Bonds. Next time you begin to say—"my taxes are so high, I can't buy Victory Bonds"—stop and think again. Are' you using higher taxes as an alibi? Have you really reached the limit of self-denial? The answer is :up to your con- science. But remember this -- there never again will be "spending as us: ual" unless we defeat Hitler. The .more we , reduce- ,our -spending. _— .the : -. more we increase our lending - the sooner we all can lead normal lives again. Nothing • Matters Now But Victory - Buy the New VICTORY BONDS R...

To- day, as in the past, Canada's fighting , ,men command respect around the. World. Now they are poised ready again, to strike and strike hard, for, the freedom we love—for a free Can- ada. It's up to us, at home bo give them the very best equipment possible to secure, and lots of it, for a mechan- ized war needs a tremendous amount Of ammunition. gasoline, food, cloth ing, medical supplies and equipment; and they- are needed now. Are you proud to be a Canadian? Ave you proud 'of our armed forces? Then show it by lending every dollar you eon possibly spare. Buy the new Vic- tory Bonds to the very limit of your ability. NOTHING MATTERS NOW BUT VICTORY Space Donated By • NCOUNTi L. E. CARDIFF " Canada's Third Victory Loan was introduced on October 19. Six months ago, the people of Huron overseer scribed their objective by $297;250. In the First :Victory Loan, our people gave leadership 'to the Dominion .by raising their full quote in six 'and a half days, Such is the record of Hur- on County, a proud achievement and one that I know will be maintained in the days immediately ahead. In mak- ing' an appeal to support the Victory Loan Campaign, 1 feel that I am en- dorsing the nten of Dieppe, support- ing our grand young men of the Air Force, the Navy and all branches of His Majesty's Forces; ' thousands • of whom have gone from the•County of Huron to take their place in Britain's Guard of Honor, I pay tribute to the Huron County National War Finance Committee for the time and effort they have devoted towards building up a capable and effieienn organization. I appeal to the citizens of Huron to give their full support to Canada's Third • Victory Loan.

Vic- tory Loan will be used to strengthen our position in a military, sense. The Canadian war effort is mounting each month over 800,000 of our people are engaged in war industries. Of the num ber, 120,000 are women. These people are turning out munitions, ships air- craft, military vehicles, clothing, ex- plosives, chemicals, tanks, rifles, Bren guns, sub -machine guns, naval gone, 25 -pounders, anti-aircraft and anti tank guns, ammunition and mili- tary equipment and 'supplies of all kinds. It takes money to. do all this -- end only half of it is being raised by taxation. The balance must be raised by Voluntary means through the sale of War Saving -Certificates and Viet - , cry Bonds. Our boys -have responded to the call of the country 'by enlisting in the army, navy and airforce, These bade are willing to lose their lives to de- fend their loved ones and their homes against the threat of Japanese on the West Coast and in battlescarred Eu- rope against the -goose-stepping Nazis and noisy Wops of Italy. What are the civilians doing to help the war effort? Many have done well Many have sent a son, husband, broth- er, sweetheart or friend to the uni- formed ranks. Many have purchased Victory Bonds and War Savings Certi- ficates, many have suffered already through the ravages of war. More must be done—more sacrifice so that our war effort will be doubled', treb- led, until we are superior to the en- emy in every* regard. Won't you do your part?
