TERRILL Representative COLBORNE - ONTARIO Graham Towers, Governor of the Bank of Canada, visited Victory Loan Headquarters in Cobourg last week and spoke to Victory Loan workers and many citizens of Northumberland County last Wednesday. Following his address to hundreds of people in the Cobourg Opera House he met many people who had gathered to hear him make his first address in this county. Mr. Towers made it clear to all why Canadians should do their utmost to make the Eighth Victory Loan a great success and his remarks regarding our ibility to handle the country's debt were enlightening. He pointed out that a Victory by the Allies this spring will not be followed by a wholesale reduction in costs of war. Mr. Towers brought out the following points. 1. Hundreds of thousands of men must be brought home from o they must be fed, housed and cared for. Then the wounded and sick must be restored to health. In addition many millions will be paid out in gratuities and for rehabilitation FUNERAL DIRECTORS E.

The Japs remain to be beaten and Mr. Towers stated "The Pacific War is a huge business." Canada must play her part. There will be huge outlays for supplies, etc. 3 Our country will have to finance the sending of vast quantities of supplies to other countries particularly to the people of former occupied territories. Mr. Towers made it clear that government spending for these supplies provided a large income for Canadian farmers and workers. Ve can readily understand why the need for money is still great and urgent--why there is no early prospect of an important cut in the amount of government outlays, even if hostilities in Europe cease this spring." As to the public debt, Mr. Towers made it clear to his listeners that national debts--such as Victory Loans --are owed by the nation to itself. He discussed the rise in our national debt and also told his audience that our external debt had been greatly reduced. The great amount of Canada's debt is really owed to the people of Canada themselves. Over three million Canadians have bought Victory bonds. Mr. Towers concluded his remarks by urging everybody to buy Eighth Victory Loan Bonds. By doing so he said they "Invest in The Best." By so doing we back up our country, which to-day faces the future with the best prospects of any country in the JUNIOR FARMERS Northumberland County Junior Farmers are planning a young people's rally at the Grafton town hall on Wednesday evening, April 25th, 1945.

Several British war brides in Toronto and a number from outside have contacted the Red Cross in an effort to get back to England. This causes all departments a great deal of unnecessary work. Apart from the fact that it is unfeasible because of present shipping conditions, each of the brides who made application to come to Canada also signed at that time an undertaking promising that she would make no application to return to Britain until after the war.

No, not e one' on your newspaper, we mean here to warn you that you should keep all your clothing labels. They i guarantee of protection to both you and the retailer from unlawful price increases and lowering of quality. If your purchase does not give satisfaction, you stand a better chance of having an adjustment made if you have your label. The Eighth Victory Loan campaign opens on next Monday, April 23rd and a hard working team of cat sers will start calling on every person in this County. The record objective of $1,700,000 will likely mean that over 6,000 people will have to scribe. To reach this figure, subscriptions per day will have to average almost $95,000. At Victory Loan Headquarters a spokesman urged people to buy when the salesman called. In past loans the necessity of "call backs" seriously delayed the course of the campaign. In many communities, subscriptions have already been entered, and bankers report many enquiries regarding the new Victory Loan Bonds. Victory Loan officials expect a good campaign but at the same time they warn that there is a widespread feeling of complacency. This is probably due to the realization of an early Victory. However, even if Victory comes soon, there are still huge outlays ahead. Amongst these are the cost of bringing the troops back to their homes, the care of the sick and LAKEPORT April 17th, 1945 L.A.C. Gerald Irvine, R.C.A.F., of Hamilton, spent the weekend here. Cpl. and Mrs. Leslie Jones, Toronto, spent the weekend at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Fagg. Bdr. Alex. Kells spent the weekend here. Mr. Neil Stevens, Toronto, was here for the weekend. We are pleased to report that Pte. Harry Warner has returned from service overseas. Harry served in the Italian campaign, was three times wounded and is at present here on furlough. Since price control was adopted in Canada the cost of living has advanced little more than 3 per cent, as against 33 per cent during the corresponding period of the Great War. wounded, gratutities, etc. A well known steady buyer of Victory Bonds told a Victory Loan work-that he felt people should buy •e bonds this time than ever before. He said "Victory is close, we must be thankful. Let us show thanks by supporting the Loan as it is truly humanitarian effort. Also, he who saves to-day will have more to buy with later. And I think tliere will be real things to buy when this s over." HE HAS, YOU HAVE, • You have reason for just pride if you have done all you could do, on the home front, to support the gallant effort of our men In active service. If you have denied yourself pleasures and comforts to buy Victory Bonds 11 i you, too, have played a part in helping your country's war effort. You have worked and saved and lent your savings to your country. Without this help from you : i; and from millions of her citizens, your country could not have maintained the prominent place she now occupies among the freedom-loving nations. Canada has the use of your savings to help to win victory; (You will have this money to use for your own needs later.) Perhaps you wish you could have done more. Well, you will be asked to do more. Men who have come back will tell you that there is lots to do yet Canadians are on active service, on the fighting fronts; More money is needed to support their effort. You are asked to keep on working and saving and you will be asked to put more savings into Victory Bonds. They are the best investment any Canadian can make; an investment that every Canadian should make; (fet neacUf U fay VICTORY BONDS 8th Victory Loan Opens April 23rd NATIONAl WAR FINANCS COMMITTEE
