The county quota is set at $1,900,000, which in turn has been broken down for each canvass- ing district on a per capita basis. The municipal chairmen generally agree that the quotas are equitable and will be reached, if not exceeded. The canvassers have been selected with great care. These are the leen who will make a thorough canvass of their territory. Everyone will be contacted. Every citizen will be ex- pected to purchase Victory Bonds to the limit of his or her resources. No- thing matters how but Victory. This is a total war. It calls for an all-out war effort for everybody. No alibis are legitimate now. A complete report on each citizen will be made by the canvasser. These reports will be checked by the mun- icipal chairman, If deemed wise, a call-back will be made. The reason for this thoroughness is the urgent need for a complete sales -coverage so that all available surplus money in town, village or country will be secured to purchase vital supplies of war forourgallant boys in khaki and blue. Many a parent has sent a son, many a wife has sent a husband, many a child has seen a father go overseas to protect Canada. What are the rest of us going to do? We are Canadians but have we done any- thing to prove it? It is the duty of every citizen to support the 3rd Victory Loan, It Anniversary services. Rev. J. R. Mutchmor, M.A., D.D., of.

At time of writing, farmers from Hullett and McKillop are busy bring- ing big truckloads of salvage into town, and a group of sorters are un- loading the trucks at Salvage Head- quarters. The National Salvage Committee has suggested that if consumers when purchasing nails would turn in an equal, poundage of scrap metal, as we now have to do with collapsible inetal tubes, it would make one hun- dred thousand tons of metal available for war production. Council To Buy $4000 Victory Bonds Boundaries of Wards Changed —Regular October Meeting Held The October meeting of the town council was held' Monday evening with all members present. An increase in the town's popula- tion was shown by the assessor's re- port, The population was listed as 1711, an increase of 20 over last year. Total assessment showed a slight decrease at $1,105,937. A change in the number of polling divisions is one of the revisions be- ing drafted in the procedure bylaws Of the town. For many elections the six polling divisions have been group- ed, three wards, north, south and east, with a polling booth in each ward. To eliminate the necessity of hav- ing deputy officials for all six divi- sions the revised bylaw will officially adopt the three ward system. One boundary alteration will also be made so that both sides of John street will vote with the south ward.

To date 248 books have been received. Mrs. E. A. Duncan; whose paper the Wiarton Echo took a prize for the best front page at the C.W.N..A., writes concerning the Red Cross: "We hate to say it, but there ars many women who haven't yet made one article or assisted the Red Cross lin any way. Why? Is it because you do not care whether the boys lying on hospital beds have the little com- forts worth living? Is it that you do not care whether British people who have lost their home, their furniture, their bedding, and in fact everything are given a lift with small comforts as they start life anew? Is it that you care not that little children have been the victims of Hitler's bombs and are homeless and helpless? We hate to scold, but really this is as much one person's war as another's. None of us wanted war, but if you had a snake in the living room, you'd just have to get rid of it and that's what happened to tis when Hitler go his armies ready for the war.
