Certificate Lines Canadians of modest means, many of there unable to invest in the first loan of the second Great Wa'r because of the heavy over -subscription, are going to get a chance to play their financial part in the Dominion's war effort, Finance Minister Ralston, in thank- ing Canadians for the over -whelming support given last week's $200,000,- 000 loan, gave small investors this assurance. He was not sure just what Reim the new program would take, But he said the flood of small orders for war loan bonds that rolled total subscrip- tions to $374,576,850 showed the need of some plan in which the -small in- vestor "could at any time put his savings into seine sort of a war loan security or suitable small denomina- tion," "It has been decided to institute such a program," said Col. Ralston. "What the plan will aim at is to encourage regular savings by giving I the citizen of modest means an op- portunity at any time—not just when la war loan campaign is on—to invest those savings in Dominion war sav- ings securities of small denimina- tions." The finance minister said the plan might be along the lines of the war savings certificates of the last war. As soon as detail are worked out they will be announced, Col. Ralston spoke over a national network of the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation and was joined in his thanks to the Canadian people by representatives of the Allied govern- ments and the nine Dominion prov- PAGE 5 ,r kz,•fa enfai »19 nit roti CUT FLOWERS FLORAL DESIGNS For Every Occasion i 3.

TREWARTHA Store Phone 214 House Phone 328 HIGHWAY TRAFFIC RESUMED AFTER WEEK .OF STORMS _ Most Highways Now Open Although most of the main high- ways are now open to motor vehicles-, the farmer en the back concession will have to depend on -Dobbinfor some time as his only means of transpor- tation. A week of wind and snow, almost continuous, has piled snow- banks of huge dimensions in practic- ally all parts of Huron County. Trade has been brought to a standstill un- til snowplough crews after working night and day, battled their way through to opeinup thernain arteries once more. From the surrounding country come stories of huge snowbanks and filled roads. The trill at the north end of Albert street gave Clinton folk some idea of What it Wright be like in the country. All day Sunday one could see groups going to see the hill and many of them were back again in the evening to see the cater- pillar plough work its way through to (pile 'banks on either side any- where from fifteen to twenty feet feet high. Trucks that had been com- pelled to halt were towed through by this snow demon after a tunnel had been. bored through the huge bank. Froin Auburn we learn that for al- most a week no mail has been delivt- ered in the rural district, but no food shortages have been reported. Bay- field was also isolated for a time, but is once more in contact with the outside world. Coining with the swirling snow an icy wind found its way into. many cel- lars Thursday night and local plumb- ers had a land office business Friday drawing out frozen pipes. The Perth Regiment hockey team battled their way to Goderieh Thursday night over roads that were getting heavy, with visibility practically nil. All day Sat- urday and on Sunday morning the storm continued. Then on Sunday af- ternoon the weatherman gave the snow plough. •crews a break. By con- stant effort traffic is gradually get- ting back to normal. Many travellers were marooned for the weekend. James Ballantyne, M.L.A., came by train to Dublin to spend the weekend at the homestead in ()shone township. He stepped off the train, took a look and stepped back on again, came through to God- erich and doubled back to Toronto on the next train. Motorists however were not so fortunate. Many were compelled to spend the weekend with (friends or at hotels. Church ser- vices in many districts had to be cancelled and social activities planned for this week have been postponed. However, conditions are quickly get- ting back to normal and although farmers will be using horses for transportation for some time, they are accepting it all in good spirit. One farmer commenting to another on the unusual depth of snow re- ceived the answer, "Oh well, we can take it. There's always room on top for more." Then there's the weather prophet.. While Huron shivered a student of something or othercarne across with the rremark we would have an early spring. He based his opinion on the fact • that sapis already rising in maple trees. We seem to remember a gentleman forecasting there would- n't be much snow this winter. We'll see how this last prediction works out. A. quiet wedding was solemnized in the parsonage of Egmonciville United Church when Rev. A. W. Gardiner united in marriage Miss Barbara Simpson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A.T. Simpson, Seaforth, to Leslie John Burrows, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Burrows, of Stratford. The bride, who was unattended, wore a float - length dress of cerise velvet on pain - cess lines, with' shirred bodice and sweetheart neckline. Sha carried a bouquet,of yellow roses. Immediately after the ceremony the couple left on a short trip. For traveling the bride wore a green knitted suit, seal coat and matching accessories. On their 'return they will reside in Strata feed at 24 Earl street. • WAY: THEATRE CLINTON • NOW: The 'Three 1Vlesgniteers in "NIGHT RIDERS" "WAY lllon, Tues. & Wed.

Globe & Mail Owner Denies Paper for Sale TORONTO, Jan. 23—The Globe and Mail on its front page today, carried the following: Because of continued circulation of groundless and malicious rumors that The Globe and Mail has been purch- ased by other interests despite the denial by its owner, and owing to the many anxious inquiries received from loyal readers, William H. Wright, the owner, has today issued the following statement: "The Globe and Mail is not for sale to anybody; it was not purchased for resale but rather as a means of rend- ering public service. I might also say that nobody has ever discussed with me purchasing The Globe and Mail, nor would there be any use of anyone doing so. "The persistent rumors having tak- en various forms, I would like also to state that George McCullagh is president and publisher of The Globe and Mail for his lifetime. He is at present, unfortunately, on leave of absence from the Air Force to enable him to recover from a severe bronchial attack. At the end of the war, Mr. McCullagh will return to- his ohis desk.'

Admission 40c and 25e, Estimates Being Reduced During War Period OTTAWA — Estimates for the forthcoming fiscal year are being pared down to bare necessities, and many projects for which money was voted at the last regular session of Parliament will not be proceeded with. No official confirmation could be obtained of reports that certain pro- jects in. Ontario and Quebec, notably the promised $250,00 public building in Peterboro, would be abandoned. But Government officials said econ- omy and restrietion of expenditures to essentials would be the guiding itt- fluenee during the war. "Works essential to our war effort will receive 'first consideration," a spokesman said. "In many cases pro- jects authorized at the last session are more essential now than they, were a year ago, and will be given first consideration.' In the case of buildings for which there is eo urgent need and for which no contracts have been called„ it may be decided in the interests of economy to take no action at present. 130Y SUFFERS INJURIES WHEN DRAGGED BY CAR D•ASHWOOD — Carl, live -years -old son of Fergus Turnbull, of Blue Water highway, Monday afternoon was struck by a car driven by W.
