SALVAGE EGG CASES Due to some neglect in the return of egg cases to wholesalers, some careless handling, a shortage of lumber and other incidental causes there is now a definite shortage of egg cases in Canada, states the Dominion Department of Agriculture. This shortage threatens not only to handicap the movement of eggs into the domestic trade but also to egg drying plants where egg powder is made for export to Britain. In view of the fact that it is difficult to obtain adequate supplies of new cases, the Department makes a special appeal to everyone handling egg cases not only to return them and the accompanying packing material promptly to the shipper but also to avoid damaging them in any way.

SAVE PAPER Life-giving plasma journeys to the fronts in fibre shipping containers made from waste paper. NAMES MAKE NEWS • The names in this newspaper that interest you most are names of boys you know who are on active service . . . boys from this community. You used to read their names in school reports, in church and Sunday school items, in news of sport. You read these names today in news from the fighting fronts. So often now these names make sad news. Let's do all we can to hasten the day when our newspapers can tell of happy things. Yes, we can do something to hasten that glad day. When we do this job we help to win victory sooner. We help to end the war sooner. And we do something to benefit ourselves. The job that we are asked to do is to save our money and lend it to our ' country. As each new fighting front is opened more money is needed. More people must be ready to furnish this money. More Victory Bonds will be issued. Those who have not bought Victory Bonds before must buy them. Those who have bought bonds must buy more. We are not asked to give ... we are just asked to lend. We will have money for things we plan to do, after the war. Dedicate yourself to this war effort . . . something you can do . . . one thing you must do. Your help, is urgently needed. *(A Newspaper saying--"Names Make News") /t/0*fV\CTOfCt BONOS National Wax Finance Committee
