ORONO WEEKLY TIMIES 'I'H1JRSDAY, OCTOE IM143________ TO THE PEOPLE OF DURIAM COUNTY: I notice that the objective set for the 9th Victory Loan is $2,050,000. It would ap- pear at first that this objec- tive is high, but again, when we consider that there is just one loan to be fioated in the coming year instead of two, it makes a consider- able difference. I believe that this coming Loan is the most iiportant that we have ever had, and I have no sympathy with the people who are talking dis- couragingly of it. I think we should not forget so soon our promise to the men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces and our obligation to those who have returned, and to those who have yet to re- turn home. Everyone must realize t h e enormous amount of money it will take to pay gratuities, Ser- vice Pay and the cost of re- ehblishing in civil life as well as hospitali-zation and nensions for, those who have sacrificed so much for us and made it possible that we may stili continue to live in this grand country of ours under democratic rule. If there is any message that I might communicate to the members of the 9th Victory Loan Committee and to the good citizens of Durham County, it would be this: Let us all in Dur- ham County support the 9th Victory Loan- generously, and in this way prove that we will keep faith with those who sacrificed so much for us. Yours sincerely, Chas. E. Stephenson, Member of Parliament, County of Durham ________________________E October 15, 1945 We have stood the test of war magnificently, suffered hardships and made sacrifices. Can we now stand the test of peace ? We have assumed responsibilities and obliga- tions. Are we going to meet them when the cheering has ceased and the bands stopped playing? .These questions will be answered in the affirma- tive by the people of Canada and of Durham if we put this Victory Loan over the top. Your committee re- LE TS T minds you that this loan covers a period of one year and not six months and ,we are very confident that the people who have carried the ball and played the game niagnificently for six years will not now throw; it away. Our objective is large, but with the support of every one, Durham County can retain its place in the vanguard of Ontario municipalities. ROSS STRIKE, Chairman, County of Durham FIS JOB The County of Durham has established a grand record in past Victory Loans. The Minister of Finance has announced that there will be no loan in the Spring of 1946, therefore the Ninth Victory Loan is a Two in One operation., A large percentage of the money to be raised in this Loan will be earmarked for the work of Rehabilitation and the cost of caring for and re-establishing those who suffered wounds. -The enthusiasm of V. E. Day and V. J. Day must not be allowed to diminish. We still owe a debt to those who, through their sacrifice, valour and suffering, brought us the day of Vic- tory. Therefore, more than ever before, this is THE Victory Loan. get behind it and People of Durham County, let's "Sign Our Name To Victory Town of Bowmanville G. E.

National War Finance Committee W. R. STRIKE, Chairman DURHAM COUNTY W. E. HENDERSON, Vice Chairman I The war is not over. Only one phase has been complet- ed. The guns are silenced, the carnage is finished, the enemy has been defeated on the battlefield, but the war goes on at home, and it is not finished until every last one has done his share to clean up the mess, and make this country suitable for a lasting peace. We have to beat our swords into plough shares, fit our hands so that they are capable of performing peaceful tasks, and in so do- ing give our best for the wounded, the bereaved and the perplexed. Canada bas a big and grand job to do and we can- not afford to quit now. Invest your money to the limit. Put your name to a Victory Bond. Do it cheer- fully and so help finish the job. J. J. MELLOR SOUND AT HEART The other day an obser- ver in England remarked, "The British came out of the war tired, cross and im- poverished." He was referring to the people of the British Isies, If he were doing his ob- serving bere he might use a current wise crack and say, "the Canadians came out of the war tired, cross, per- iod". Such an observation might be justified. Located far from the scenes of bat- tie, Canadian homes, fac- tories, public services, re- mained intact throughout the war. Thus this country was able to satisfy the de- mands of a war-hungry ma- chine. Right now, in addi- tion to holding several bil- lion dollars worth of Vic- tory Bonds, Canadian citi- zens have a total in savings banks accounts which is the highest in the history of Canada. To provide for the civil re-establishment of our men who fought, our people will buy bonds as enthusiastical- ly in the Ninth campaign as they did in the previous eight Victory Loan cam- paigns. October 15, 1945 The greatest Victory Loan of them all, the 9tb, will start on Monday, October 22nd. The 9th loan, greatest in the amount of money required, namely 1,500,000,000, is also greatest in the purpose which it hopes to achieve, namely the, rehabilitation of the many thousands of men and women in the services who are being given a fresh start in civilian life. The Tovnship of Clarke, with an objective of 00,000, and the Village of Newcastle with an objec- tive of $40,000, expect to play a large part in helping the County of Durham maintain the excellent record which they have had in past loans. The Township is again headed by J. J. Mellor, and the salesmen will be W. E. Davey, Arnold Wade and D. Found. The Village of Newcastle will be head- ed by Warden C. R. Carveth, who will also act as salesman. C. W. McBRIDE, Organizer, County of Durham VICTORY LOAN
