Hfiron&Erie MORTGAGE CORPORATION 3 to 10 years $100 or more and the peace. That is the aminous probability of a head-long plunge into a period of wartime pleasure spending. A greater degree of saving is an ur­ gent need of the moment. The cry from all lips that speak to us across the no-man’s-land of the Atlantic Ocean is for more and more materials. Our ability to produce the materials uf war in limited by time. Our peace-time quirements. facilities is of two way satisfactory quantity is our physical capacity and only hope lies in diverting operations to wartime re- . Diversion of productive effected in either or both ■s, voluntary and otherwise. Financial measures, such as by ation and burrowing, are useful play an important part, but the they play is dependent upon measure of public support they ceive. In the Victory Loan drive, Can­ adians added to their laurels, and the measure of their effort in this direc­ tion will make pleasant reading when the tinal figures are issued from Ot­ tawa this month. That, however, is water over the dam, and War Savings is now in need of support. That is the movement in 5 which the greatest number of Canadins can put their shoulders to the wheel. War Savings is a twice-blessed effort in that dollars invested in War Savings Certificates do doubles the service; they do not compete with Lhe war efofrt and they stand ready to take up the slack for the peace-time readjustment. Dollars diverted from the non-essential spend­ ing at this time leave room for the expansion of production needed for men overseas. 99th BBATTERY NOW RECRUIT­ ING Wingham has been honored by the calling for Active Service its own ’battery, the 99th Wingham Battery, R.C.A. The history of the battery is not a very long one, but it has been > an active one. From scratch, the battery has in a little over three years, become an active service unit and will take its place in the fighting forces of our army. During the time since war was declared the battery as a re­ serve unit has carried on drilling and training so that when the call would come they would have a goodly crop of trained men to start with. This was a difficult task as during this time about 150 members of the battery went into active service in other units. If these men were still with the bat­ tery it would be up to strength, but as it is-the battery requires about 200 men. This district should be able to raise that number very easily.
