North York as a whole exceeds its objective by $233300 which too was in- keeping with the.spirit of all Canada in over-subscribing the counâ€" try’s appeal for financial backing for the war effort. North York’s 0b- jective was $1,900,000 and subscrip- tions totalled $2,133,300. Congratu- Lations are due Capt. Aubrey Davis of Newmarket, chairman of the County Committee and H. L. Trapp, the efficient organizer who was in charge of the campaign. Bad wea- ther and poor road conditions com- bined to make the‘ going somewhat hard in the campaign and no doubt but for these features the over-sub» scription would have been much greater. Vaughan Township was $7,400 over its $200000 objective, King Town- ship over by $29,500, Woodbridge over by $20,400, thitchurch includ- ing' Stouffville over by $44,450 and Markham Township subscribed $173,- 350 of its $200,000 objective.

North York figures, while very satisfactory would have been much larger but for the fact that many living in the district made their sub- scriptions through their plmes of employment in Toronto. This was particularly true in the scuthern section of the county and had quite a bearing on the results in Rich- ‘mon-d‘ Hill, Vaughan, Markham and Woodlbridge. Monday morning a pennant flew in the breeze below the Victory Loan flag on the municipal Sag pole to tell the world that Richmond Hill has reached its objective in the Loan campaign. The local objective was $75,000 and subscriptions totalled $90,400. This was a splendid show- ing and reflects credit on the citi- zens of Richmond Hill and the cam- paign canvasser Mr. J. R. Herring- ton who made a thorough canvass of the village. The war has taken a toll in the Sinclair family at York Mills. Word was received recently that two sons have been killed in action.
