people in acton and erin and show bal hnafad that we appreciate their efforts half a carrier 48 t of the objective for georgetown and dis jnct has been reached this week in the war weapons drive with two weeks still to go every indication is that the campaign will go well over the top and that this district will be sending at least one universal car rier each month to the nation s fighting forces it must be emphasized that the war weapons drive is a continuous one not like the victory loan which had the object of raising a specific amount of money in a given time the purchase of war savings certificates and stamps must go on and on so that every month large sums of money will be put at the disposal of the government to supply the tools of war to our army navy and air force the georgetown lions club are to be comph mented on their support of the campaign whereby they will place the last stamp on a certificate for each public school pupil in the district the money realized from the salvage for victory campaign will be used for this purpose still collecting salvage in connection with this may we remind our leaders that the lions club is still collecting salvage of all kinds and a call to president dick licata phone number 71 will bring the salvage truck to your door total proceeds to date amount to about 75 00 and that s only a start it will be a big help if bundles of papers etc are brought directly to the salvage shed in j j gib- ben s garage behind silvers store collection is al ways a problem in any salvage drive and the less col- ecting that has to be done the more profit there will be from trie salvage and the more money there will be available for lions war work limehouse young peoples society was or ganlzed by rev c c cochrane at the prestoyterlan church on
