The first message to Kingstonians in a visable way, other than by the process of newspaper and bill board, came on Sunday at 7.30 p.m. When the electrice lights flashed off and on for four times signifying "Buy a Victory Bond." It was most effec- tive. It halted the church services j for a minute and many of the pas- tors told the message the episode conveyed, It was a thrilling scene as the lights passed from silver -to goid in hue, then to violet and into blackness. The electric engineers worked with a will and handled the switchboards magnificently. Down at the Victory Loan Head- quarters everything was in a bus- tle.
