Clinton, Fust Municipality in Huron to Reach its Quota On Saturday night it was announced from Victory,' Loan ,headquarters in Goderieh that Clinton had reached its quota, of $174,000 and was the first municipality in the county to attain their' objective. One week ago today Clinton had Only 57.6 per cent of its quota but two days later had reached the $174,000 mark, Much credit should be given to Mr. A. M. Knight and his canvassers, Mes- srs -H. E. ,Rorke and Gordon Seribbins; whose untiring efforts have done much towards reaching our objective. The citizens of Clinton never faltered and as always are standing behind their boys in. the service. The objective is reached but they are still subscribing and want to see it go as far above the 100 % nark as possible. Thanks are also given to the man; advertis- ers in the News- Record who donated their space in. the interests of the Fourth Victory Loan, Fourteen of the twenty four munici•- paiities in the county are running be- hind schedule, but the fine showing of the remaining ten has kept the cam- paign on an even keel. If .the fourteen lagging municipalities bring/up. their ,average in the remaining two days, as they undoubtedly will, the county should reach the objective. The. lead- ers are maintaining the rapid pace set at the beginning with only two more days to go. The four county air schools have subscribed 111.9% 'of thein• quo- tas. The figures of the municipalities will be found opposite. • AMONG THE CHURCHES Salvation Army Thursday, May 13th, at 8 p.m. Wel- come meeting for Captain Davis..
