Just a year ago a very generous response was made by the people *3 Clinton and surrounding territory ire the War . Savings Certificate Camp- aign, but unfortunately the subscrip-• tions are falling off. Thie seems,. however, not to be entirely a local: condition, and a National -effort xs.. to be made to revive. interest in this form of savings. • This :centre has been asked to raise each month, sufficient money to buy•. a Navval Gun. This will mean rais- ing a sum in excess of $2400.00 per month. At tine time of tine campaign a year- ago ear-ago this amount was reached for a;'. short time but according to figures released, by Headquarters the aver. age monthly subscription for the lash, four months has fallen to $1567. The local Committee in charge of this campaign believes that this. • Centre, because en the better times., enjoyed by nearly all, can easily raise.
