After the first World War. vast numbers of Canadâ€" ians had reasons to be grateful that they had been pre- vailed upon to invest a part of their augmented war-time earnings in defence securities â€" for the sound investment represented by these bonds availed to carry them over a difficult period.

V Farther, the new Victory Bonds are so arranged that they are inviting to those who are interested in the pro- tection of their personal security. _ _ is not sufficient that the Government obtain money by exacting it, through tax collections, from a people made up of those who give willingly and those who surrender cash grudgingly. The new Victory Bonds are available in such denom- inations that few of us can plead inability to become in- vestors in defence and contributors to the protection of our beloved country. force. We must provide the moneyâ€" We all produce some defence money through taxes and We know that we will have to produce more and more through this medium. But this is not enough. . We can assist in providing the most important of all the raw materials which go into the creation and main-ten- ance of an adequate system of national defence. Money is the most vital defence essential. Money buys raw materials. Money builds machines. Money pays those who are operating the machines.

What Can We Do To Help? This week in the face of the gigantic challenge of Canada’s Second Victory Loan we have but one editorial message. A We commend those who are serving in the various military branches, realizing the sacrifices that they are making and the further sacrifices which they are willing to make if such is demanded of them. But What Are We Doing To Help? ENLIST NOW AS AN INVESTOR IN THE FUTURE OF CANADA AND DEMOCRACY. We are proud of those from our County who serve in the various branches of the fighting services. We must back them up with dollars to provide in ever increasing quantity the tools of war. Singapore has fallen, and the general war situation throughout the world must be serious enough to convince even the most idly complacent that VICTORY is going to demand every last ounce of effort by the free people of the world. EVERYONE must do a part. North York has an objective of $1,600,000 in Canada’s second Victory Loan and this objective must be reached. It can be’reached if every citizen subscribes to the limit of his and her ability. It will not be reached if some fail in doing their full duty. Established 1878 Advertising Rates on Application. J.
