The • people of .efuron Conety.

cellent way they have respOndedby

the first week of the present cam
paign. It is an achdevementethat is
greatly. appreciated
However. there. is still -CarivansIng
to be done, e'specially in the town-
ships where a. number of calls have
yet to be made, and when the cam-
paign closes on June 21st no reaident
of Huron County. should' feel content
unless it may be said that, all Who
could have subscribed to this import-
ant war effort by purchasing Victory
Loan. bonds.
When it was announced that the
present Victory Loan was' for $60.0e
000,000, it was believed by many that
that amount is allthat is required-
and that once each individual quota
has been passed no more need be sub-
scribed. However, nothing % could be
more false as 'the Gavernment needs
over a billion dollars and no just six
bendred'millions for 'the Army, Navy
and 'Air Farce.
Most quotas for the Victory Loan
. were set low on purpose in the belief
thatthe people of Canada :Would sup-
port this loan with their whole heart
and that it would be heavily over -sub-
scribed. The effect of this on. the
British people would .obviously be of
very great importance and would
hearten and cheer them greally;
whereas, on the other hand, it would
have aui opposite effect on the Ger-
mane and would "serve to illustrate
the determination of all Canadians to
conquer -the German nation. s •
Here in 'Huron ;Csountia quota of
$1,400,000 was set which is cOmpara-•
tively leer-

as they are understood to be maty
times the quota. Much more , than
this quota is wanted and. urgently
-n'e'eded and the objective should be to
see how much 'above the quota can be
subscribed and not to consider; now
that the, quota leas been passed, that
the job is done.. • „ "
The life of each indivichtai Cana-
dian than, woman and' child is in ex-
treme danger this very eninuta and
it is only by sweating • and
sacrificing now that we 'will ha:-Ve any
chance of .avol:ding the biciod and'

the Germans are beaten decisively and

Many people have already- subseelb-
ed to this Victory. Loan and it is very
creditable. that Huron County 'should
be the second to reach its .quota. but.
much more than the quota is needed
