OBJECTIVE ALMOST REACHED IN WAR SAVINGS DRIVE Chairman Frank Fingland is Satisfied With Local Response Regular Contributors Wanted The War Savings Drive which ter- minates today, November 20th, has done an exceptionally good job in Clinton and the surrounding district. The objective of $2500 per month for the duration has almost been reach- ed; at least it is expected that by the end of this week over this amount will have been subscribed, covering the period Out. 20th, to Nov, 20th. Approximately one half of this amount has come from the regular monthly contributors and the balance through cash sales at the Post Office and the local Banks. Chairman Frank Fingland, K.C., STRESSES the importance of purchasing the Certifi- cates in a regular, consistent manner such as a monthly deduction front the pay envelope or the personal bank ac- count, All those now buying their certificates by a cash transaction are asked to consider the advisability of pledging an amount each month throughout the year. It is not necessary to stress the fact that this is a costly war, as com- pared with the previous one'of 1914- 18. The anted forces need the most modern and efficient equipment. In addition, the manufacturing of aeto- planes, corvettes, minesweepers, de- stroyers, anti-aircraft gums; coastal long-range guns, Bren guns, machine guns, universal carriers, and mobile units of all descriptions, call for huge expenditures of money by the Feder- al Government. The money must come from the people; either through taxation or from the sale of Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates. The people of Clinton have respon- ed well in a financial way to both Victory Loan appeals and the recent War Savings Drive. On behalf of the local committee, Chairman Fingland desires to express sincere thanks for the co-operation and support of the Clinton people. It is desirable that the sale of War 'Savings Certifica- tes be increased as the war proves - es. Will you do your part to the best of your ability? Remember Churchill'„yorclst "We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growir•„ strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be.
