engraved fountain pen, the presen
tation being made by Mon Sandy
Elliot, who spoke of the fine ser*;
vice he has rendered the club both
as its first president and secretary.
He said that if Monism meant any
thing to Exeter we have Dr, Weekes
to thank f-or it. Dr. Weekes thank- ■
ed the club, expressed appreciation
for the assistance and co-operation
he had received and said that as a
member at large he would, attend
Lions Club meetings whenever pos
sible.Lion T. Pr^de outlined the cam
paign for the Canadian War Services
Fund. The campaign is known as
the 6 in 1 and, is in support of the
various -organizations that are doing
auxiliary work for the department
of National Defence in providing

first book printed was the Bible,
printed in Latin, and pictures were
shown of these first pages and some
of the early work done, Printing
was introduced into England by
John Cax-ton and. early specimens
of English printing were shown. Mr.

bottle. His address was well re

ASSOCIATED WAR
CHARITIES FUND-
-Qp Monday night, MWh 24tlh
the one great campaign for 1MI
commences, in which we Will be
asked to give 00-0f0 in
Canada to assist the CanMto Le
gion, the Y.M.C.A., the Y.W.C.A.,
the Daughters of the Empire, the
Salvation Army and the Ol^htS Of
Columbus to make If easier for tihe
soldiers, the flyers and the sailors to
carry on the work of defending the
Empire, It is a big step for the
young men to step out of civilian
life into the fighting life. He
misses his home life, the company
of old friends, the sports, tihe par
ties, his school work, Ms business
life. Then we must take all those
things to him in his camp life. That
is what those various organisations
are doing in a grand way, That is
why we have to support them- -That
is why we in Huron County are
asked to raise $20,000 by public
subscription in a. very short time.
In this effort why can not-we, the
people, give our money without be
ing canvassed, even before tihe cam
paign begins, Let us go to the of
ficers or canvassers and present our
money—not wait for them to .come
to us. Any bank manager or mem
ber of the War Time Committee will
accept your gift, and give you a re
ceipt for the same.
“CARRY ON! CARRY ON!’*
This is not merely a catch phrase.
It is an order—an order from the
boys overseas and in the Empire’s
forces everywhere—to you and. to
me, “Carry On” you people who
cannot fight. “Carry On” by dig
ging down and. buying War Savings
Certificates, Exeter needs only $150
in monthly pledges to put the town
over the top. Pledges -already re-,
ceived, amount to $1,850.90 a month,
May we not get your dame on a
pledge? Will you not sign for an
additional amount? Help to make
up that needed $150 a month. You
are only loaning your money, and
.surely you dare not -disobey that
command of -those fighting boys on
land and sea and in the air. “Carry >
On”. ’
The rural district around Exeter
has pledged to pay $750 -everyt
month for certificates and several
communities, have not vet reported.
