THE WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN EXTENDED y For several reasons the Wai’ Sav ings Campaign for the signing of pledges- to buy Certificates con tinues into the month of March. The bad Weather held, up the work’ in some districts; a lack of suffic ient supplies early in February was responsible for some delay. Can vassers have-been unable to make all contacts .in their territory. For" these reasons the campaign goes on until the whole district has been covered. Many people have agreed, to make quite large purchases of Certificates through their Bank in a few days dr as soon as they can get to the Bank. If the canvasser oh his contact with these people had made proper use of the Bank Pledge form lie could save the pur chaser the trouble of going to the Bank, and the campaign would pro ceed more rapidly. It is not so en couraging to the canvasser to re ceive a promise as it is to receive a signed form.- When he meets with success he goes right on to finish his territory. The Committee would respectfully ask those who have promised to purchase Certifi cates to visit their Bank'at an early date so that we can lessen the num ber of people to be contacted. There is considerable work for the main committee to keep tab on the pro gress of the Campaign when un necessary delays are* evident over the district. Results in the distfiep^utside of Exeter have not been tabulated yet, .so We can give you no summary. We do know that in certain parts of the country progress has been rapid and is nearly completed, with very favorable results, while in other* parts the weathei* and the condition of the roads has held up the campaign. Canvass has now commenced there, and with better weathei’ will go on with full force. In Exeter there are many loose ends to bn still picked up, and we hope the workers will finish the job this week. Please remember this. All work ers should take all pledges or pro mises to the chairman, Fred A. May, not to the Banks, Mr. May then lists them aud sends all Bank Pledges or Honour Pledges to the various Banks oi’ Post Offices as designated on the pledge forms. This is important. Mr, May can not make^a proper summary 'unless this is done. The objective in Exetei* is $2,000 in monthly pledges, apart from cash purchases. At this writing, March 3rd, it stands at 270 pledges for $472, while the cash purchases amcmn't to $4,850, which, when broken down means the odhivalent of 00 pledges of $4 each for $362 monthly or a gvand total of 360 pledges for . $1834'a month. The Committee would be pleased if local canvassers would complete their work and make returns to Mr. May at an early dato,; Crediton Wins Over Lucan in Last Game It took the squad from Crediton to win the only decision of the Cyclone schedule ovex’ Lucan. The handful of fans saw one of the best games of the season in the local arena on Wednesday evening. With ovex* half of the third period play ed and the score tied at 4-4, Referee O’Brien awarded the game to Cre diton when Cluff refused to serve a penalty. The big defenceman was thumbed to the box for slashing and began to argue with O’Brien, who promptly meted out a majox* sen tence. At this Cluff attempted to hit O’Brien and refused to leave the ice. The Lucan squad retired to the dressing room and forfeited the game, Crediton at one time had a 4-2 lead over the Irish and had outplayed them -most of the way. It was Crediton’s best showing of the season. First Period The first period was sort of & brotherly affair. All the goal-get ters were assisted by their brothers. Austin Fahrnei’ got two on plays from Wally and Gerald Paul scored Lucan’s only tally of the first canto on a partnership with brother Reg. Early in the game Smith made a spectacular save on Reg Paul’s short •shot and cleared nicely as Watson came in to get the rebound. Smith saved again on Zurbrigg’s drive. Fahrner then opened the scoring. Wally slipped a pass to Austin in centre and rounding Cluff, he let drive with a low shot. The puck deflected in off Howe’s skates. G. Paul evened matters on a smart play. Reg. Paul laid a pass on his stick as he crossed the blueline, Gerry stickhandled around Hicks and went in alone on Smith. He drew Smith out and backhanded the disc into the cage for a really smart goal. With his second goal Fahrner put the Crediton. team into the-lead. Wally sent his brother clear, of the de fence with a well-timed pass and Austin weht in alone to draw out Howe and slap the puck into the twine. Second. Period Watson levelled the count as Lucan came from behind for the second time. Reg Paul handed the puck from the corner to Watson who was camped in front of the net. Bawden went off for tripping Reg Paul but the Crediton gang staved off the Irish. Stew Morton put Crediton in front on a pretty •solo effort. Snatching the puck in. centre, he skated around Hammond and slipped the puck by Howe as he rode in on him. The goal came on a nice stickhandling effort. Wally Fahrner-made it 4-2, slipping the puck into the corner of the cage af ter grabbing a loose puck near the boards. R. Paul cut down the lead from a face-off in the corner of the Crediton. zone. The puck flew into the air and dropped in front of the Crediton cage as Reg batted it into the net. Third Period G. Paul tied the count early in the period. At the Crediton blueline he grabbed the loose puck and swung in on Smith. Smith sprawl ed too soon and Paul flipped the puck over him. Howe juggled A. Fahrner’s shot as Crediton put on the pressure, When Cluff was serv ing time. Latei’ Referee O’Brien thumbed Cluff to the cooler for slashing and Crediton was awarded the game.
