Browne, Seaforth. One Person Out of Every. Ton in Canada Bought Victory Bonds The latest returns in the Victory Loan campaign chow a total of 782,714 subscribers, or one for every ten person in Canada. This establishes a new record with respect to the proportion of of the population of a country subscrib- ing to its War Loans. In the Liberty Loan campaign in the United States bonds were sold to one person out of evory twenty- seven of the pbpnlation In Great Britain the previous record was Held where ono in twenty three eubsoribed to. the last War Loan. In many cities, towns and districts in Canada, the proportlou of the pop ulation buying Victory Bonds was even higher than one in tett. Iu a number of oases it was even as high as one in foto•, The achievement in oonneotion with Canada's Victory Loan, while primarly due to the splendid spirit of patriotism that pervades the country. is another evidenoe of what may be accomplished through press advertising backed by an adequate eelling organization, Prior to the Victory Loan campaign there were comparatively few bond buy urs in Canada, The third Canadian Loan of Last spring, which was the most widely distributed bond issue in Canada up to that time had only 41000 subscribers, The Finance Minister ed deemit essential that many times that number should subscribe to the Victory Loan. He assigned to the press the task of educating with ros• pent to the Loan the great masses who were not bond buyere, and in the most oases had only a vague idea of the meaning of the term bond as applied to securities, For weeks before the sale of Vict- ory Bonds commenced. Canada's need for money to carry on the war and ao maintain her agricultural and indnet• rial prosperity was presented to the people of Canada in display advertise- ments in the press. Emphasis was placed in these advertieomenta on the privelege and duty of every Canadian to assist in the war financing of his or her country, and upon the fact that if Canada's financial needs were to - be mot the great masses of the people would have to buy Viotory Bonds. The moaning of a "bond" and the security behind Canada's Victory Bonds ween explained in simple every day language Similar educational work was done voluntarily by almost all the newspaper and other publioations through their news and editorial columns, By November 1211, when the sale of Victory Bonds commenced, the people had been educated very largely to the need of the money, the security behind the Loan and the reasons why every person who could possibly do so should buy one or more bonde.The preparitory educational work in the press was fol- lowed by a personal solicitation a moot efficient and Dominion'wide organic. ation of personal workers, 0onour- rantly with that peraoual solicitation there appeared a series of "selling" ad- vertisements emphasizing the immed- iate privelege and duty of every Oanad• inn to buy Victory .Bonds., and many editorials and news articles along the same tinea were published in every newspaper. The press publicity 'created en atmos pliers sf knowledge of the situation that in addition to obtaining largo'' 1n bete of subscribers without, pet effectively and with infinitely grouter results than could have been obtained without the educational and eelling advertisements in the press - The Holy Night The operetta ''Holy Night" pit en by the 5t Joseph Music Club on Thurs- day night was one of the moat pleasing eutertaittmontegiven this season.
