Mayor A. J. McMurray, introduced Sergeant Grant, who conducted the choir and acted as Master of Cere- monies. Before the final selection, the Mayor called on Fit. Lt. Britton, president of the association, who spoke briefly, saying, that since they felt so far removed from the activities in Britain, in Port Albert. they wished to do all that they could to f u ether the world •of the Red Cross. The general concensus of opinion is that it was one of the best musical :entertainments heard in Clinton for some time. It is to be hoped that they give a return concert. 'Proceeds, which went to the local Red Cross, amnounted to $57.50.

" Why Canada Must Borrow $600,000,000 Proceeds of Canada's 1941 Victory Loan will be used for two purposes - to help finance Canada's war effort. and to render financial assistance to Great Britain. Hon. J. L. Relay, Minister of Fin- ance, in this recent budget address, estimated that in the current fiscal year the Dominion Government would have to raise about $1 billion by way of borrowing. Of this amount the major portion will be for the purpose of financing Britain's deficit in her balance of payments with Canada, arising out of huge purchases of supplies and znnnitions in Canada. For the current fiscal year British purchases in Canada will reach ap- proximately $1.5 billions. On this. basis it is estimated that Britain's deficit in her balance of payments with Canada will total approximat- ely $1.1 millions. In order that there may be no stoppage in the shipments of vital supplies which Britain is buying from Canada. the Dominion Government has undertaken to fin- ance such proportion of deficit as Britain herself will be unable to meet by the transfer of gold or United States dollars to Canada. "The deficit in the balance of pay- ments," which Canada has undertak- en to finance, means very little to the great majority of Canadians, To put it simply, Great Britain has in- sufficient Canadian dollars with. Which to pay fog the supplies she wants from Canaa and the Domin- ion Government has undertaken to provide those dellars. By buying Victory Bonds Canad- ians will be providing aid to Great Britain over and above the assistance being given by the Canadian Navy, Army and Air Force. They will be• giving Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill "part of the tools" he requested and which have been ordered from Canada, The Cost of Canada's war effort ire this fiscal year is estimated at about $2,600 millions. Of this amount, $170 millions has been allotted to the navy, $667 millions to the army, 6387 sailllons to the air force. In ad- dition, financing Britain's require- ments in Canada will take $900 mil- lions to $1,150 millons, It will be noted that the biggest individual itean is financing British purchasee. This made up of re- patriation of securities and credits. These represent the method whereby Canada enables Britain to secure goods without having to pay Canada any cash. By this means Britain ie able to buy from Canadian factor- ies war goods, made by Canadian workmen, Every bond purchased will mean more wheat, bacon, cheese, flour, guns. ships and mechanized equip- ment for the Motherland. The quota for the County of Hurn on is $1,300,000 but that is the min - mum and it is felt that all quotas hould be over -subscribed by at least. 100% and a result the objective for the County of Huron should be considered as $2,600.000. Neat week all Canadians will have 'eery real opportunity of demonstra- ing their loyalty and it is believed that came aea'in all Canadians will prove willing to make saorificee. rather than submit to defeat and slavery, Neat week every Canadian will be. asked to lend to our Government ev- ery dollar available and this plea must be answered' fully and quickly. Engagements Announced Mr. and Mrs. John Kersey of Wat- ford, announce the engagement el their , daughter, Mary Josephine, to Mr. Frank Edgar Taylor of Clinton, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs, F. B, Tay- lor, Watford, the marriage to take place quietly the second week in June. Airplane Contest Austin.
