Every dollar drives the dagger deeper, Huron County Victory Loan officials are confident that'. the county quota of 84900,000 will be over- subscribed. The sales in each munic- ipality are mounting but more people will have to buy bonds if we are to give an effective answer to Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, The canvassers are working long hours and already stories of real sacrifices . by many purchasers are being made known. Two strik- iexamres- ponse of the RAF ands RCAF are tha men and officers at Clinton, Centralia, Goderich and Port Albert and an ex - merchant marine man now employed at Goderich. The boys in blue are serving the Empire by their services but they are also subscribing thousands of dollars in Victory Bonds to help fin- ance the Canadian war effort. Isn't this an inspiration to the civilian? Are these men not setting a worthwhile example to all of our citizens? The Clinton Royal Air Force station has already raised $14,000 and the canvass is not com- plete. The Centralia RAF Station has raised over $25,000 to date. Sky Har- bor at Goderich and the Port Albert RAF Station are doing a fine job. It is now up to all of us in Huron county to show the boys in blue that we are willing to rally to the coun- try's call for more money by buying bonds to the limit. The time is short, Huron's war re- cord 1914-1918 and so far in this war must be maintained. It is now up to every individual to come forward and invest his or her surplus money in Victory Bonds. Another story that should be made known comes from Goderich, The. Dominion Road Machinery Co. took on some new men recently on war production. One of these men form- erly served on a merchant ship. His boat was torpedoed on the Atlantic and he landed on one of the islands of the, British West Indies. He lost all his clothing,money and posses- sions. The only clothes he had were the ones he was wearing. After a lone period of time he arrived back in Canada, penniless and secured work at Goderich. When the Victory Loan canvasser came around, you can imagine the reception he received. However the story of this man's family was told. His mother bought Victory bonds during the last war and found them mighty handy during the depression; his brother is in the army and serv- ng with distinction; so to make a long story short, this man bought a $50 Victory Bond on the installment plan. Was this not a sacrifice? This man had suffered already as a result of the war, but when the call came for money to help finance our war effort he responded nobly. Surely examples of this man and the whole, hearted response of the RAF and. RCAF men at Huron Air Stations should spur us on in our campaign to oversubscribe the county quota of $1,900.000. Christmas is drawing near. The giving of gifts is an old custom. How about buying • Victory •Bonds for Christmas presents this year? Do your Axis shopping early— Buy Victory Bonds.
