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. Savefor (4aioy THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA CLINTON BRANCH - - E. E.

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.

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.

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.
