Ten days are left in which we must secure the balance of our objective. It. means a hard fight. Yet it is the hard jobs that has always developed the big men.. It is now the. time for these big men to come to the front. Every plant in this district has gone over the top. Each of them still expects to have further returns in beâ€" fore the week is out. Will our farmâ€" ers do likewise?â€" This is the question that the farmer must answer themâ€" selves. If they desire to furnish the Empire with the most effective means of closing the war they will respond. We have been told for a long time that it would be the last dollar and not the sword that would win out. Has this not been the case? Is it not the money that is behind our boys toâ€"day that has given them the vicâ€" tory? Withdraw that money and you immediately take the props from unâ€" der our victorious army. In the early part of the war it was this very fact that kept us tied up. Again, who or what is responsibte for our present prosperity ? / Is it not the fact that the money has been kept in cir/qulation? It has been making more money. This same circulated money has paid the high prices for the grain and the proâ€" ducts of the land. It has made it possible to market the returns from our labor to the source that will keep it in circulation. We will get the benefit of all this money. When we think of it, we cannot let it be said that West York failed to do her duty.. It will not be written down in the pages of history that our manufacturers did their part, but the farmers did not do theirs. We need the greatest coâ€"operation ofâ€" everyone to put over this big amount. $1,314,000 is what must be raised in the next ten days. This amount has to be the reâ€" sult of the canvassers‘ work. It me,éns that we must raise $131,400 per day if we are to reach our objective. It means that we. will have to dig down deep into our accounts fto raise that amount. "Don‘t pass it by.

First to Reach Objective The first industrial plant in the Weston section to go over the top in the Victory Loan campaign and win the coveted honor flag was the Toâ€" ronto Structural Steel Company, Limâ€" ited. This end was achieved by an orâ€" ganization which aroused enthusiasm and rivalry among the men. f Five teams each with a definite obâ€" jective, captained. by Messrs. Smith, Hisson, Walton, Stone and Stewart, were organized to cover the shop and office. The desire of each team to obâ€" tain and surpass its objective, as well as: hold first position in the list, reâ€" sulted in subscriptions coming in quickly, so that at present the average subscription per man equals $123, and 95 per cent. of the employees have subscribed. It is hoped before the end of this week to have this percentage changed to 100. > The honour flag was presented on Friday, November ist, by Mr. Gibson, Manager o Canada Cycle and Motor Company, and chairman of the Indusâ€" trial Committee of this section, who delivered a splendid address on the occasion. Mr. Pardoe, . organizer for . West York, was also present and gave a short address, which was well receivâ€" ed. Victory Loan Honor Flag Won by C. C. M. Employees _ , To secure the Honor Flag it was neâ€" cessary that 75 per cent. of the emâ€" ployees should subscribe a total of not less than 10 per cent. of the annual pay roll. By the end of the first week this mark was passed, over 117 per cent. of the objective set being secured, and considerably more than 75 per cent. of the employees having become purâ€" chasers of bonds. . In the two weeks before the campaign closes on Noâ€" vember 16th these\figures will unâ€" doubtedly be increased. General Manager J. W. Gibson and Mr. E. C. Roy, with a committee reâ€" presenting the factory and office, put in a great deal of hard work on the campaign. No outside canvassers were employed.. This. work â€"was ably perâ€" formed by‘Messrs. B. B. Halladay and C. Watson and Missâ€"C. R. Duff. The Directors of the Company have subscribed for $100,000 _ worth of bonds in addition. 141 C. C.

Mr. Pardoe, General Organizer of the campaign; Mr. Palmer, of the Canadian Kodak Co. and Mr. Gibson, General Mangger C. C. M., made the presentation of the Honor Flag.

The postoffice at York Mills has been closed owing to the resignation of the postmaster, who stated that the salary, which amounted to about $100 a year was not enough for the work. This means that the residents in that section,have two or three miles to go in order to receive their mail. . W. F. Maclean, M.P. for South York, interâ€" viewed the postal authorities on the matter and an investigation into the matter with a view to reâ€"opening the office at an early date was promisâ€" ed. : wWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1918 â€"Buy Victory Bondsâ€" LAMBTON MILLS Great was"the joy on Tuesday night when the train pulled in to North Toâ€" ronto station at 11 o‘clock.. It bore the remaining son of Mrs. Robt. Allan of Maria Street. As Lieut. Jack Allan stepped from the train it was a true welcome home that he received from his mother, who was there to meet her only boy. During this cruel war no home has given more than this home. With three boys of military age, all went to answer the great call of the Empire. Two will never reâ€" ceive the great welcome that awaited Jack. Leonard and Bob, after winning distinction on the field of batâ€" tle and promotions, gave up their lives in the great cause of humanity. During the past few weeks her husâ€" band has been called to that long last rest.â€" Her sonâ€"inâ€"law, Mr. Daines, also enlisted and did his duty, but has been invalided home ‘after his efforts in France. Yet the spirit that is exhibitâ€" ed in this home is one of great loyalty. It was a true welcome also to the home when they arrived in the car of the Rev. Hughes Jones, who had takâ€" en Mrs. Alian to the station, Lt. Jack Allan joined the 48th Highlanders on September 5, 1914, and volunteered for active service on October 19, 1914. From that day\till his return home, his story is one of the greatest interâ€" est and full of excitement. He crossâ€" ed to Francee and received his first wound on July 4. This wound was in the left eye. It did not keep him out of, the trenches long.. All the pieces of shrapnel were removed and the eye soon healed. He returned to France on September 14, was promoted to L. Corp. on the 30th and to Corp. on the 25th of December.. He won his commission after receiving. his serâ€" geant‘s stripes. He got his commisâ€" sion on April 28th, 1917, and returned to France on May 25. He was woundâ€" .ed again on the 1l5th day of October; 1917. The back tmuscle of the right leg was blown off, the arteries were cut, and the case looked very bad. After first aid in stopping the artery had been administered, the, doctor thought that an amputation was neâ€" cessary. This was avoided, and through splendid treatment and to the wonder of the doctors Jack was able to walk about again and step from the train, He is the picture of health and has very good use of his leg. He states that the hospital system and the Red Cross work in the war is wonderâ€" ful. Nothing could be better. Every attention is given to detail. . All life that is lost is beyondâ€"all recovery if this great systemâ€" cannot reclaim them. He expresses great appreciat’ion for the many little kindnesses that he has received from the town. He states that the Canadian soldier has made a name for his country that will never be forgotten. On Monday Weston was again sadâ€" dened by the news thatâ€"another boy who had left home and friends in anâ€" swer to the call of duty had fallen on Flanders fields. Pte. Allan Wade, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wade of Coulter Avenue, was killed in action on October 11. His parents received a letter from him written on October 5 saying he was well and prospects for peace were good, just a few hours prior,.to receiving the sad news of his death. He was 21 years old last August and had lived the greater part of his life in Weston, reâ€" ceiving his education at the local schools, and upon leaving school had worked with his father, running the express and cartage business of the town. He attended St. John‘s Angliâ€" can Church and had many friends, both young and old. He enlisted in 1917 and after training at Exhibition Camp for some months went overseas and for a period of some months was stationed at Witley Camp, England, leaving for France in September of 1918. His father and mother, four sisters and two brothers, survive him. Another Weston Boy Makes Sacrifice Pte. A. G. Fall, whose name apâ€" pears in the recent casualty list, adds one more to the number of Weston soldiers who have counted life itself none too large a sacrifice to pay for freedom." He leaves a wife and two small children to mourn the loss of husband and father. Hassen Neby, the Albgnian who was charged with the murder of Geo. Tucker at Weston on May 19 appearâ€" ed before Chief Justice Falconbridge on Wednesday, â€"October 30. â€" W. _A. Henderson was the counsel for the acâ€" cused and Crown Attorney A. G. Agar conducted the prosecution.. This was a most peculiar case in many respects. By a chain of unmistakeable evidence it was proven that the murderer was traced to the spot in the car at the time of the crime and his return home was also noted. The accused had cerâ€" tain articles found in his grip at the time of his arrest that belonged to the car and the murdered man. Still, in the face of this strong evidence Hasâ€" sen denied the whole affair. # After forty â€" minutes‘ deliberation the jury returned a verdict of "guilty‘" and the presiding judge pronounced the death sentence, which will be carâ€" ried outfon January 3rd.
