As your member in the Ontario Legisla- ture and a member of the Gov- ernment of the Province of On- tario, which stands pledged com- pletely for prosecution of the war until victory is achieved, may I again speak to my constituents, as a duty and a privilege, on behalf of the success of the present Vic- tory Loan. In the past, the people of Dur- ham County have responded mag- nificently in contributing to all former loans. There is every reason to believe they will main- tain their splendid record as have their sons and daughters in the armed services. Since war broke out and particularly within the past year those who have gone from this County on active ser- vice have acquitted themselves with valor and heroism. Increasingly among our neigh- bors we learn of sons who have paid the supreme sacrifice, some who have been wounded, and others who have been posted as missing.

M bore Dlood Donors Needed1 Though Bowmanville has creat- ed for itself an enviable record in the contribution of blood plasms to the war effort, many more volunteer blood donors are needed and records show that only a very small percentage of eligible local residents have seen fit to volunteer for this most im- Portant branch of activity in the aew Great Wan. It is true that our record here compares rather favorably with that of other townsvof Bowman- ville's size but cecking ofreports on regular visits to, the Oshawa clinic reveals quite clearly that donations are confined to one group of war-minded Bowman- ville citizens. There is no reason why this small section of the community should be called upon to bear the brunt of the burden. Donating blood involves little inconveni- ence and no pain whatever. Your donation may be the means of sav- ing the life of a Canadian soldier and it is not beyond the borders of possibility that this soldier might be someone near and dear to you. The call for more donors has beer' issued time after time by the ocal committee but results have been rather disappointing. If you have not registered as yet, isn't it time to consider your esponsibilities in this period of tress when all avenues of service hould be directed towards thati all-important objective of winning this war.

There seems to be, in this success story, therefore, not only the remarkable success of one man but of a household which has earned the respect and com- mendation of the whole commun- ity and all will join in wishing many more years of cheerful ser- vice at the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gunn of Bowmanville. l.O.O.F. Celebrates 125th Anniversary Local Lodge No. 66, Independ- ent Order of Oddfellows, to- gether with other district lodges of the order, gathered at St. Paul's Churc, Sunday morning, for services which commemorat- ed the 125th anniversary of the founding of the I.O.O.F. in North America. Assembled at the lodge room were members representa- tive of lodges of Orono, Port Hope and Oshawa and headed by the Citizens' Band, proceeded to the church where the members, seated in a body, heard an clo- quent sermon by Rev. Dr. W. P. Fletcher who, spoke in tribute to such associations for the welfare of man and the need for human beings to, follow the precepts of Christianmty and observance of the Word of God. Following the service the units marched to the Cenotaph where a wreath was placed in memory of the fallen in the last war. Marshal of the parade was Past District Deputy Wm. Corden, with Noble Grand Lester Highfield in charge of Local No. 66. The wreath was Laid by William Riddle of Orono de.. hFraternal greetings were ex- cbanged when members later foregathered at the Lodge Rooms. Sixth Victory Loan Service Attracts Large Crowd Sunday Despite cold and rain Sunday afternoon, a large assembly of citizens gathered at the Town Hall for the dedication services which were arranged on a national basis as prelude to the opening of Cana- da's Sixth Victory Loan the fol- lowing day. The local committee, under chairmanship of W. Ross Strike, joined with civic officials and the military, together with the Ministerial Association to create a most impressive service. The speaker of the day was Lieut. Commander W. J. G. Carr, R.C. N.R., and veteran of the last war. A military parade formed up at the Armouries and the order of march was, Camp 30 Veteran's Guard bugle and drums, follow- ed by two platoons of tbe Guard withbrifles, and in succession, the Bowmanville Band, the Mayor and members of Town Council, the B.H.S. Boys' and Girls' Cadets, the Girl Guides and Brownies and the Boy Scouts. Forming left in review order at the Town Hall, the ceremonies opened with the National Anthem. Prayers were read by Rev. J. E. Griffith and Rev. W. R. Fletcher and Adjutant J. D. Hart of the Salvation Army led in the massed singing. Major, the Rev. Canon C. R. Spencer conducted the responsive reading f the Declaration of Purpose. Lieut. Comm. Carr spoke elo- quently of having before im the veterans of the ast war and con- gratulated citizens for such a splendid turnout in such inclem- ent weather. He warned that the war was not yet over, that those in the services were fully aware of it and realized that there was a great task ahead. It remained for those on the home front to dedicate themselves to the task of providing funds and materials t0 vitally needed for the final victory. This was no time to slacken. Those in the services ad stood the test for more than four years of constant training and the difficult task of waiting. Only one thing could dampen their ardour and that was any faltering on the home front. The speaker deplored such things as strikes at home.

The fact that, on the welcomed him as a Rotarian Of home front, very few have suffer- ed from the effects of war was partly responsible for the neces- sity to whip up public support for Victory Loan drives. Only those who hâve lost loved ones on the battle fronts are keen- |]1y cognizant of the job that re- mains to be done. The Club mem- bers as businessmen had a respon- sibility to see that everyone with whom they came in contact should be influenced to buy bonds if they were to do their share to win vic- tory and build a better Canada for the boys when they came home. The importance of enlist- îng the support0o the wage earner was stressed. In the last Loan the factory workers of Ontario subscribed for $79,000,000 worth of bonds, enough money to build 79 corvettes. This was a magnifi- cent contribution.

McLaughlin, C.M.G., D.S.O., with other officers and officials grouped about him. At the Armouries, the various units dis- banded after an exceptionally creditable display of military marching. The Declaration of Purpose as read by Major Spencer in unison with the assembly, was as follows: A Declaration of Purpose In the presence of Almighty God, and in loyalty to our men and women overseas, who loving life, risk death for us, we citizens of Canada reconsecrate ourselves to the noblest of causes. In this crucial hour we at home pledge ourselves to maintain our best efforts to give the utmost support to our loved ones striving and suffering on the battle front of freedom; to speed the victory by putting into our tasks all the vigor they rightly expect of us. Resisting all temptation to slacken, we dedicate our work, our money, and ourselves to a vic- torious peace that will lift the tyrant's yoke from tortured na- tions, set mankind on the road to moral and economic betterment, and bring our loved ones rejoic- ing home. Supported by faith in the righteousness of our cause, and conscious of our responsibilities to God, to our King, and to our fel- low man, we will not weary nor weaken till our goal is trium- phantly reached, w PU' VICTORY VOLUME 90 BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, APRIL 27th, 1944 là m i - m-M--9mK A-om -- _m_ 1 ý à VEST IN VICTORY ,qww m m ý MW
