THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD
PAGE'S
With grim determination this young and virile
nation dons her armour buckles on her sword.
Frorr coast to coast the tempo of Canada's war
effort accelerates. Tanks, planes, shells, foodstuffs'
and equipment of every kind are being rushed
and massed for victory. Canada means business.
Personal sacrifice must match this national
effort.
Yours is the duty of providing the dollars so
vital to Canada's war needs. Yours is the duty
tosave that you may be ready and able to
lend your money to the nation when the call for
money comes.
Money, no less than men and machines, is a
decisive factor in this war. Thrift is a national
necessity.

The Penny Bank in the
Schools of Canada
CLINTON: weekly percentage of
pupils depositing during September
and October for 1940 was 73.
Total amount on. deposit at end of
October, 1940: $825.99.
Comparative figures of a year
ago: $1099.40.
DOMINION OF CANADA: Total
amount on deposit at end of October,
1940: $1,203,421.62; number of school
depositing: five hundred and twenty-
eight; comparative figures of a year
ago; $1,398,521,52; number of school
depositing: five hundred and twenty-
two.
To The Teachers: The practice of
having Bank Day on Tuesday and the
sale of War Savings Stamps on Fri-
day has been adopted in a great many
schools. This permits the two activ-
ities to function side by side, and thus
accomplish their two -fold purpose.
(a) School savings is used to ac-
cumulate funds for personal needs in
the near future — clothing, books,
Christmas presents, etc.
(b) Car Stamps are used for more
permanent savings, and when ex-
changed to War Savings Certificates
yield a good interest return for the
7% years investments,
In both cases—School Savings and
War Stamps — the Government has
the use of the money for the prose-
cution of the war; and in both cases
the practice of thrift is fostered.

ELECTION RESULTS OF
DISTRICT
COLBORNE TOWNSHIP
Willianf Thom was elected reeve of
Colborne Township in Monday's elec-
tion. He polled 162 votes to Nelson
McLarty's 91, gaining a majority of
71.
The councillors elected by acclama-
tion recently were Alex Watson,
James Feagan, William Clark and
William Marsh.
According to township officials the
vote was a poor one due to heavy
roads throughout the district. The
snow fell heavily throughout the day
and late in the afternoon many of the
roads were becoming blocked.
ILLY TH
Electors of Blyth went to the polls
in large numbers Monday and elected
a complete new slate, a reeve and
four councillors.
W, H. Morritt was returned reeve
with a majority of 117 over W. J.
Putts, the former getting 201 and the
latter 84. Mr. Potts held the office
for 1940.
The new councillors and their votes.
are: W. H. Lyon, 104; Absolom Tay-
lor, 187; Chester Morrison, 144, and
Stanley Sibtho'pe, 103. The defeated
candidates are: DeLoss Taman, 83;
Francis Slorach, 78; R. R. Robinson,
76; J. Cook, 73, and George H. John-
ston, 64. Messrs, Daman, Cook and
Johnston were members of the 1940
council who were defeated.
The voters came out well despite
the weather. There was one big issue
in the campaign and it was the ques-
tion of the revaluation of the town's
assessment by a firm of experts, the
electors apparently showing their dis-
approval of the 1940 council's decis-
ion to have the work done.

BAYFIELD
Despite the storm and deep snow
a goodly number of citizens turned,
out on Monday to vote and pay then'
taxes. The result of the poll to elect
three Trustees for the Police Village
of Bayfield was as follows: W. L.
Ferguson, 70 votes; James Robinson,
63 votes; Leslie Elliott, 57 votes and
J. E. Howard, 40 votes. The first
three have been declared the Trustee
Board for 1941. There was only one
spoiled ballot and across it was writ-
ten "No—good." How about trying
it yourself, Mr. and Mrs., or Miss
Voter? If you don't think those
nominated are capable of running the
affairs of the Village satisfactorily
why not take your share of the re-
sponsibility and get yourself propos-
ed for a Trustee next year. Think
