Recently, he noted, he had met with a government official at Ottawa to discuss certain proposals of the.Association of Canadian Adeer- tisers to aid the war ifffort. In the course of the discussion, he continued, -the 'official had. expressed the view that unthinking emotionalism and waste of energy are deterrent factors' that must be offset, and that "you can't burn yourself out on emotional nonsense and still be effective in your work,' Such a view, ', Mr. McQuarrie. emphasized, might well be .subscribed to the building of public morale.

A dollar bill is like a bond. It's a promise to pay to the man who. has it, You get bills. when you sell things and pay them out when you buy things. A Victory Bond is "a bill" intended to be saved. When. you keep a $100.00 Victory Bond for a year you receive an additional $3.00. (3% interest). Buy all the Victory Bonds you can -- lend money to Canada to help to win the war. Save your bonds to have money for things you'll need when the war ends. National War Finance Committee ez with Peoddce Farm folk can' pay for Victory Bonds in another, convenient way—by using the "PRODUCE FOR VICTORY" TICKET. By simply signing a "Victory Ticket" you can authorize those who buy produce from you to send all or part of the proceeds to the War Finance Committee to buy Victory Bonds for you.

As Mr. McQuarrie said, this meet- ing at Haddon Hall, 310 Bloor Street West, ;Toronto, was not the preten- tious affair of other years, but was a get-together to recall the old days and history of Huron County and to stress how in these changed times the uppermost objective of each aandi•- Vidatal must be to help win the war.
