As free citizens we are facing' our greatest crisis. Many of our people are offering their lives in the battle for freedom, and now we are asked to lend our money to back them up. There is no doubt in our minds a- bout the worthiness of the cause for which we fight. We all know that the men who are in the front lines of our battle have to be supported. We must give them tanks, planes, guns, ammunition and all the technical eq- uipment necessary to enable them to stand up against the long prepared armies of the dictators. This takes money which we on the home front must supply. Every Canadian has to. face the personal responsibility of subscribing to Canada's Victory Loan. Canadians can be counted on to put their shoulders to the wheel when they understand the need. n is a. need not only to help in the defense of Britain but to stop the aggressors. before they reach across the ocean.. Make no mistake about it, if the dic- tators are not stopped. then all that we hold dear in life will go down be- fore them. The .success of this loan is not only to be measured by the amount of money subscribed, but also by the 'large number of individual invest - meets by the people of modest meane and modest income. By subscribing in large numbers we demonstrate hoer solidly Canadians are behind their sons and brothers in this war. The larger the number, the more widleY will Purchasing power in the form of interest be distributed among ev- ery day people in all provinces. The. Imre widely the Victory Bonds are spread among our people, the more easily we shall meet any problems of the future. Here in Huron County we have been asked to raise $1,300,000.00 as our quota, Dig deep into your savings and buy Victory Bonds. Wear a. Victory Loan button to show that you are not just looking at the war but that you are right in the war.
