lors warning against personalities we are going to break loose long enough to thank a few of our many friends who have been very kind to and flt dr paul who pulled us back from the brink a couple of times last winter and whose gift of a thousand of his alaska glad bulbs a couple of years ago enabled us to purchase more victory bonds this year lion we ever hoped to own to john tmnyti who allowed us to dry those rameoaked bulbs at the alliance mills when that worthy bachelor musters courage enough to take unto himself a life partner we will be delighted to say it with flowers to them to our old neighbour bill cromer who came to our assistance with his manure spreader and made a good job of spreading a big heap of mush room compost that was too much for us to handle but the rascal went en strike when we wanted him to dig a flower border for his wife that he wanted to fill with iris and peony roots to our friend dan wright who shared his fine crop of sunflower seed with- us that our cardinals mght fare well when winter comes and if we can read tbe signs aright it is com- on we heard the wild geese going south some time ago indicat ing that their feeding waters in the north must

against the cold to come but hold on we have not space to complete the list here are those weither records we bad almost for gotten about all the superlatives in the book courld be used to describe the final results of the 9th victory loan in georgetown district the original objective of 385- 000 was passed early in the campaign and when final results were tallied it was learned that 945000 in bonds had been sold 243 of the original objective and a new alltime high in the district and jjje county for the third time georgetown has topped the county and again will be the proud possessor of the plaque emblematic of this distinction the total amounts to something more than a 200 bond for every man woman and child in the district it will be recalled that in the 7th loan georgetown ted the whole dominion in per capita sales of 150 a person and it is expected that this time the same record will be set the loan committee salesmen and the people who subscribed their savings all merit a word of praise for the grand support of the 9th victory loan it has been a relatively easy job to sell bonds because we in this district do not have to be reminded of the need for the loan with its theme sign your name to victory it is but one phase of a war effort which saw george town men flock to the colours local manufacturers pour out war equipment farmers increase the produce tion of livestock and produce and citizens generally help in every way possible to bring victory now in peacetime results of the loan conclusively prove that georgetown is just as interested in winning the peace and in restoring a balanced economy to canada firstrate entertainment provided at lions amateur show 30x10 644 684 welcome home lao wof lederman returning to his position aa man ager of the glen
