MacMillan, Flesherton. District Well Ahead In Loan Canvass With 44.4 per cent of the time el- apsed in Grey County's Third Victory Loan, the County as a whole has subscribed 47.7 per cent of the ob- jective of two and a half million dollars. That was the report Tues- day evening at Grey County head- quarters. His Honor Judge Mo r ley, County Chairman, and other courecy officials, stressed the urgent necess- ity of every one in the county who has idle money in the bank to turn it into Victory bonds. The County as a whole had subscribed $1,193,650 on Third Victory Bonds up to Tues- day. Concerted effort from all sec- tions of the county will be necessary in the next week and a half, if Grey's section of the loan is to be a success. Flesherton went over the top dur- ing the first week of canvassing and has been adding to th> total ever since, standing now at 133.2 per cent of the objective. The Victory Loan flag is flying proudly at the head of the flag pole on the main square and underneath are two pennants, sig- nifying that the objective had been reached. With each ten per cent above the objective another pennant is given, and now these should be four underneath the tine flag. Truly this is a splendid performance. Art- emesia Township has $47.500 toward its objective of $55,000 on Tuesday niffht and the canvassers have hopes of reaching their objective by Thurs- day nwrht. Osprey Township has 52 : '?r cent of its objective up to Mon- day night's returns. With the basis of the known re- lurns Tuesday night the Flesherton, Artemesia and Osprey district has reached 86.3 of its objective and by the end of the week it is confidently expected that the entire district will go over the top. Sarawak, the smallest township in the County, was the first rural municipality to enter the charmed circle. Tuesday night's report show- ed Sarawak at 103 per cent of the objective set. Sydenham is following close with 78.9 per cent and sale of bonds is continuing strong. Owen Sound has reached 67.1 per cent of the objective set -The large volume of sales, $755-350, to some extent helped raise the county's total to somewhere near the half way mark. The largest subscription yet received in this loan came from the Grey and Bruce Trust and Savings Co. They subscribed $150,000. "Our company has been a consist- ent purchaser of Victory Bonds in each of the Canadian Victory Loans." said 0. E. Manning, Manager of the i Grey and Bruce Trust and Savings ' Co. "We purchased $350,000 in the | first two Victory Loans, and our pre- j sent purchase of $150.000 rounds out our purchases in this present war to half a million dollars. We do nor hesitate to tell clients that Victory Bonds represent the finest invest- ment available, and naturally we follow the same lines in investing funds entrusted to us by our deposit- ors, and as executors of estates." ENGAGEMENT The engagement is announced of Anna Jane Wilson-, youngest daugh- ter of Mrs. H. W. Wilson of Mark- dale and the late R. W. Wilson, to George Earl Akitt, only son of Mr and Mrs. Walter Akitt, the marriage to take place quietly in November. funeral* of ntnl nnt bf tstffn Bot~ * Maddock, offer t am flftt iuneralt (no uddi- lional ekmrg$) prictd mUhht BATES & MADDOCKS FiHiEHAL CHAPEL Flesherton W.

The cost of victory is blood . . .sweat . . . tears . . . and treasure ! But the cost of defeat is EVERY- THING . . . from EVERYONE! Shall it be victory or defeat ? Every Canadian must give his ans- wer in terms of putting every doll- ar he can possibly spare into Victory Bonds. The money you invest in Victory Bonds will come back to yon with interest. Rut defeat would cost you everything you own . . . your savings, your home, perhaps your very life. Nothing matters now but Victory VICTORY BONDS BUY THE NEW This advertisement sponsored by C. J.

This has been done over the head of the Grey County Council, which passed a reso- lution against the opening of Grey County for the shooting of deer this year. Only one deer will be allowed hun- etrs this year. D. J. Taylor, deputy minister of games and fisheries, is stressing this point, because he has received many calls asking if the oVpartment would allow two deer per hunter this year. During the last war hunters were allowed to take two der, but it has been decided that oil one deer can be taken. If a hunter takes more than one he will not only be prosecuted, but he will lose his hunting outfit.

That's bWMM they know thwiwlves too well. HON. F. R. OLIVEK going ahead and forming his Cabinet and will carry on the government for a time at least. Pressure is being brought to bear for an election to be held in the near future, the last elec- tion having been held in li>37. Hon. F. R. Oliver has held the portfolio of Minister of Public Works for almost two years and later took over the Public Welfare Departmen' . South Grey in the Provincial Legis- lature for the past fourteen years and will continue as representative. The letter of resignation of Mr. Oliver is as follows: The Honorable Gordon Conan;, Prime Minister of Ontario, Parliament Buildings. Dear Mr. Premier: On Thursday last, when I as-ked you to accept my resignation as Min- ister of Public Works and Public Welfare, I was prevailed upon to de- lay action for a few days. I must, however, insist upon acceptance now. I find myself completely out of har- mony with the. apparent lack of con- cern as we drift across the line that marks the completion of the Govern- ment's elected term of office. In the 1934 elections, I criticised the Henry Government for extending its legis- lative life and leaving without repre- sentation a number of constituencies for a period beyond a reasonable time. I know the fact that we are in war presents some difficulties in appealing to the people, but they are not insurmountable and shrink in magnitude before my unalterable conviction that the people have the right to determine who shall govern in war-time or in days of peace. Holding these views so strongly, I could have continued my Cabinet post only a restricted period beyond the expiration of our mandate and then only under one who had been ap- proved as leader by the people. My position has been further aggravated by your acceptance of the leadership v:thou: the endorsation of a Provin- cial convention or the sanction of a G -vernment members' caucus. There- fore, it is clear to me that I cannot continue in office. I will not arsrue tl a* the requirements of the faw have not bee n met, but the procedure, in my opinion, falls far short of that which the people have a right to ex- pect from any administration, par- ticularly one whose mandate has ex- >ireu. In addition. I have been per- turbed over certain phases of the re- ionship of the Province with the Federal authorities. [ nave enjoyed my office as Minis- ter, for almost two years, and had plans in mind which would benefit certain services in the Welfare De- partment. Further, we were just ing under way with our War-time y Care plan and it is natural that I should like to have seen those plans thered, but there comes a time wben one's .wishes are completelv overshadowed by the strength of one's convictions. Yours truly, Farquhar R. Oliver. Appreciated Box The following letter was received by Mrs. Alf. Down from Pte. Emer- son Thomson, from .England, who received a box sent by the Soldiers' Welfare Club: Dear Friends; I take great pleas- ure in stating your parcel was re- ceive<l today in good condition and many, many thanks. It is grand to know there are friends at home who are thinking about us and who care. At times we get pretty lonely for familiar faces and scenes, and to- night our thoughts and conversa- tions have been of home and our friends. Have several chunw and we take turns in telling stories on var- ious subjects. Tonight was my turn to hold the platform. Have had them fishing in the Valley, at the sugar bush on Pickle's Hill, swimming ir the pond and ski-ing on the hills. 1 wish you could have seen the wild scramble for hot water when the coffee came into view. \Ve all keep a little store of rare things to eat ami have our little feeds. Everyone shares his treasure and tonight we've had coffee and biscuits from Slim's supply (I get Slim over here), sardines, cake, and someone got fresh tomatoes from somewhere: maybe over a back fence, but we don't delve into mys- teries too deeply. All in all. its been a great evening and many thanks to you. We Pike the country very much, and this part is much like home- low hills, farms and bush. What few people we've met have been verv nice to us. Have had a week end in London and it's really a wonderful city and hope to ff o back again.
