HE. ,TORC
OF FREEDOM
TORY
Nothing short of victory over the powers of aggression
will ensure a just •and peaceful order after the war.
There can be no compromise with international bandits.
In that victory all of us wish to share.
Victory's price is high.
Some have the privilege of fighting; all have the privi-
lege of saving money to supply our fighters with
modern engines of war.
Enormous sums of money must be raised for ships;
planes, tanks, guns, bombs, shells and bullets.
Have a share in the victory by saving to—
Buy Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates
and Stamps—.
Pay the necessarily heavy Income Taxes—
IN ADDITION TO
Keeping up your Life Insurance and Providing
for your Future Independence—
Such a programme of determined, systematic saving is
part of the price of VICTORY.

Alfred Asquith
The passing of Alfred Asquith at
his' residence in Auburn marks the.
loss of a son of a pioneer family of
Hullett township after acompara-
tively short illness. Mr. Asquith had
enjoyed excellent health up until two
years ago when he suffered a slight
stroke.
He was the son of Margaret Pea-
cock and Robert Asquith who came
to Canada from Dalton, Yorkshire, a
century ago' with several small child-
ren. They first settled in the Gore of
Toronto, later moving to Hullett town
ship and purchased' the Fear farm
south 'of Londesboro where Mr. As-
quith was born January 8, 1859.
As a boy Alfred Asquith attended
S. S. No. 9, Hullett and Clinton high
school. He came to Auburn with his
widowed mother in 1880 and opened
Auburn's first butcher shop. He later
started packing. and exporting .green
apples: At this time all the shipping
had to be. teamed. to Blyth, a distance
of six miles. Later Mr. Asquith be-
gan manufacturing evaporated apples
and wa9, senior partner of the firm,
A. Asquith and Son. who at one time
operated plants at Alvinston, Londes-
born Ont. When the grist mill here
was destroyed by fire in 1903 he star-
ted a flour and feed •business. which
he continued until his retirement 13
years ago.
On October 22, 1883, he was mar-
ried to .MaryRye.' Up to the time of
his passing, Mr. and Mrs,. Asquith en-
joyed the •ciistinetion of being, Au -
burn's oldest married couple both in
years and length of residence in .Au-
burn. They tided for nearly 60 years
in their cottage on the south side of
Auburn's main street. They would
have celebrated their diamond jubilee
in October of this year.
In religion 1V/fr. Asquith was. a Bap-
tist, being ,a. member of the board of
deacons. In politics he was a Conser-
vative. He was the last license in -
.Spector for West Huron, to which
position, he was appointed by the
government of. Sir Joseph, Whitney
in 1905.
Besides his widow, he is survived
by one daughter, (Gertrude) Mrs, F
..0. Mcllveen of Bowmanville, and
one son, Charles E. Asquith of Au-
burn two granddaughters and eight
grandsons, four of whom are in ac-
tive service.
The fiuneral service was largely at-
tended on Sunday afternoon at the
Baptist church, Rev. A. E. Silver
chose his words of comfort from
John, 11th chapter, 25-26, taking as
his theme, "I am the resurrection and
the life." The pallbearers were Wil
' liana J. Thompson, Alfred Rollinson,
Ezekiel Phillips, Ephriam Ball, James'
Robertson and George Raithby. The
lovely floral tributes were carried by
