As one views this display of fine looking, well respected and loved boys, it strikes in us a chord of pride to know that they have deemed it their rightful duty to leave their home to fight for us in order to bring about a lasting- peace for tlle world. Although some of these boys have had very dangerous experiences and in some cases have been wound- ed, all latest letters from them, in cheerful note, state that they are en- joying excellent health. The safe and" early return of these boys to their homes and loved ones depends large- ly on our regular purchases of Bonds and Stamps and the curtailment of needless expenditure. The Victory Loan Committee sinâ€" cerely wish to convey their thanks to Mr. Robinson for the use of the window space and to the families of the boys for the loan of the photoâ€" graphs for the display. The Com~ mittee realize that these photos are nrertious and highly valued by the holders and for that reason they more than ever appreciate the as- sistance they have been in making the window the Botnd'Salesman that it has proved to be.

UP g’ 6' Mhirmmlk magma: Half A Million In Three Days North York Aim North York, is still half a million dollars short of the objective of $2,- 150,000 in the Fourth Victory Loan drive. Headquarters reported sales up to Wednesday night of $1,660,000 Which means that if the objective is to be reached heavy buying must feature the remaining three days of the campaim . Municipalities Short Stouffville village was the first North York municipality to go over its objective. With an objective of $90,000 bond sales in Stouffville alâ€" ready, are over $1;1§,000.4 Richmond Hill still is far short of its objective, and the same is true of Vaughan, Markham, King and Whitchurch Townships. However many have put off until the end their purchases of Victory Bonds and it is hoped that this last minute drive will put municipalities in this district at least close to the objec- tives set. v The North York Victory Loan» or- ganization this morning made a most earnest appeal to every citizen to make every possible effort to put the loan over the top in this dis- trict. If you haven’t already bought bonds, buy some before Saturday night. If you have already purchas- ed some bonds, buy more if at all possible before the close of the cam- paign. NATIVE Robert W.
