Counties of Northumnberland and Durhamn, I urge" that we, the people of Clarke Township, give the 8th Vîctory Loan our maximum sup- port. The record of this Township, in past Loans has been excellent, and. at this time we must, if anything, do an even better job. While the fight in Europe is drawing to a close, there is much that stili has to be done. The war in the East, will sti'Ili be a part of our responsibility, and that will cost money. The care and hospitalization of our wounded will have to be looked after as will the rehabilitation of the many thousands who' will be coming out. of the Forces. To those who have made the Supreme Sacrifice, and. to those who have won the fight for Freedom, we owe our ever lasting gratitude.
