In The Editor's Mail April 7, 1943 The Editor, The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Ontario. Dear Sir: The editorial entitled "Another Victory Loan Campaign" which appeared in the coiumns of your last week's edition has been brought to my attention. At this time when ail our thoughts are turned to total war, the subject of economy and the creating of unnecessary expenses is one which should be given care- fui consideration, however, I do feel that certain of the statements made in your editoriai shauld be carrected as they may give the average citizAn the wrong ideas iso far as the operatian of the Victory Loan campaign bath in Bowmanville and the country at large is concerned. I would like ta point out that in connectian with the "certificates of menit" which you state are mailed ta each subscriber are handed ta the individual buyers by the canvasser when the sale is campleted and therefare, there is na extra mailing charge as in- ferred in your editarial. Secandly, in cannection with the .partfaias" which are distributed ta canvassers, 1 can assure you that the number af these portfolios which are ariginally manufac- tured are just enough ta caver the actual number of canvassers emplayed and can assure yau that there are certainiy flot hundreds a! them stili nat used at the end of the campaign. The "partfalios" are in reality a large envelape made af heavy paper and are nec- essary for the canvasser ta carry his equipment in and alsa serve as his credentials when he cails at the individuai hame. They have been found ta be very necessary in campaigns such as Victory Loans. I can assure yau the ather items which you mention in yaur ed- itorial are manufactured at as little cost as passible and are only supplied because experience has shown that they are helpful in putting the Victory Loan cam- paipns over and creating Victary Laan cansciausness in the minds of the people. In actual fact the total amount spent an ail adver- tising materials warks out at about lc for every $10. raised. I wouid appreciate if you would puhlish this letter in the interest of the Fourth Victary Loan s0 as ta remnove any thought of unnec- essary expense in the ahove con- nection. Yaurs very truly, C. W. McBRIDE, Organizer, County of Durham.
