Huron County Victory Loan of- ficials are confident that the county. quota of $1,900,000 'will be oversub- scribed. The sales in eaeh-municipal- ity are' mounting bat more people will have to buy bonds if we are to give an effective answer to Hitler, Musso- lini -and Hirohito. The canvassers -are working long hours and already.stor• ies of real sacrifices by many pur- chasers are being made known. Two striking examples are the response of the R.A.F. and R.C:A.F. men and officers at Clinton, Centralia, Gode- rich and Port Albert and isa ex-mer- chantnow employed chant marine aned at p Y Goderich, The boys in blue axe serving the Empire by their serivces but they are also subscribing thousands of dol- lars in Victory Bonds to help, fin- ance the Canadian war effort. Isn't this an inspiration to the civ- ilian? Are these men not setting a worthwhile example to all of our citi- zens? . The Clinton Royal Airforce Station has already. raised $14,000 and the canvass is not complete, The Centralia R.C.A.F. • station has, raised over $25,000 to date. Sky Harbour at Goderich and the Port Albert R.A.F. Station are doingia fine job: It is now up to all .of us in Huron Countx to show the boys in rue that we are wil- ling to rally to tlae .country's call for more anon'ey by buying bonds.' to the limit. The time is shirt. Huron's war Ce - cord 1914-1918 and so far in this war must be maintained. It is now up to every individual to come forward and invest his or her surplus money in Victory Bonds. Another story that should be made known comes from Goderich. The Do- minion Road Machinery Co. took on some new men recently on war pro- duction. One of these men formerly served on a merghant ship. His boat was torpedoed oh the Atlantic and he landed on one. of the islands of the British West Indies, He lost all his clothing, money and possessfvns• The only clothe: he had were the ones he was wearing. After a long period of time, )re arrived back in THE HOME PAPER at Goderich. • When the Victory loan' canvasser came around, you can iina:gine the reception,he received, However the story of this man's family was told. His motheir bought Victory bonds dur- ing the last war and found them mighty handy during the depression; His brother is in the army serving with distinction; so to make a long story short, this man bought a $50.00 Victory Bond on the installment plan. Was this not a sacrifice? This man had suffered already as a result of the war, but when the call came for money to help finance our war effort he responded nobly. Surely ex amt pies of this, man and the wholeheart- ed response of the R.A.F. and R.C.A. F. men at Huron Air Stations should spur us on in our campaign to over- subscribe the County quota of $1,900,- 000. Christmas is drawing near. . The giving of gifts Is an old custom.

It isgratifying to know that this campaign is meeting with success. This money is very ne- cessary to keep our Armed Forces supplied. The necessity to have all scrap Iron and Steel collected is just as vital as the collecting' of money, for, without this material, the necessary war machinery cannot be manufactur- ed. anufactured. The Steel Controller, realizing that tons of scrap area lying: around throughout the entire Dominion, past- ed an order makingit an offence to retain more than 500 lbs.
