Page Four THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 10th, 1945 Another Opportunity To do something for Canada As loyal Canadians we welcome the 8th Victory-Loan ... another opportunity to do something more to help our country's war effort. Buy an extra bond. It is the "extra" bonds that help to make each successive Victory Loan a home front Victory. Our money is needed. We cannot let Canada down. To do something for Colborne We know that Canada cannot get the $1,350,000,-000 which is the objective of this loan unless each community gets its local objective. Let's show our pride in Colborne. Do your part to help Colborne attain the $80,000 which is the community's share. To do something for yourself All we are asked to do is to save our money and lend it to our country, and when we save money we do ourselves a real benefit. Take advantage of the threefold opportunity which the 8th Victory Loan offers BUY Victory Bonds LEONARD GORDON, Chairman Local War Finance Committee, Division Street, Colborne, Phone 65 A BANK CLERK IS REWARDED A Toronto bank clerk, Mr. Douglas S. King, recently was given by the Police Commission of that city a reward of $200 for his brave part in resisting three robbers who held up his branch a year ago. Mr. King, in his letter of thanks, told what had been done for him by the Bank of Toronto, his employer. "I have been excellently dealt with," said Mr. King, and he explains: "After the hold-up in which 1 was injured my hospital was paid by the bank, I was given an extended leave, and my expenses paid on a holiday trip covering some three months. On my return the bank compensated me to the extent of $2,000 in cash. Following this I was promoted and my salary has been increased." Some time ago there was criticism of the banks because the Bankers' Association had resisted in the courts an attempt by a former clerk to collect from a fund out of which sums can be paid to members of the general public who may come to battle with bank robbers. That fund, it will be recalled, is not available to employees of the banks. The Toronto case-- and there is no reason to suppose Mr. King had exceptional treatment-dicates that the banks in their own way are fair and indeed generous in these matters, and should go far to remove misunderstanding in this connection.--From the Ottawa Journal of April 25th, 1945. CASTLETON WOMAN HAS LIVED 92 YEARS On April 30th, 1945, Mrs. Ida Andrus, widow of the late Benjamin Andrus, attained the great age of 92 years.

Though blind for many years, she has done a share of the house-keeping duties. She is a valued life member of the W. M. S., to which she contributes generously. Some of the older members of the society well remember her i talented reader when she was able to attend the meetings. On her birthday she received congratulations from many friends and box of fruit from the W. M. S., also box of good things from the Women's Institute. the S H O U T that became a whisper We've looked forward a long time to celebrating the installation of our millionth telephone. Now the great day has come gone, with only a brief press notice to mark its passing. There are more important things to do just now. Besides, we can't forger that 70,000 further applicants are today waiting for telephi It may surprise you that 215,000 more Bell telephc now than when war began. With telephone manufacturers practically 100% on war orders, it was done by (1) using up reserve stocks and (2) reconditioning used equipment. We have thus been able to meet -- fully and on time -- every essential war demand for tele-phone service. Only materials left over after these needs are met can be used to look after our "waiting list". These unfilled orders concern. Filling them calls for additional wire, and cable, and intricate exchange apparatus, and all the other elements of a complete telephone system. And this, in turn, is just one part of the whole construction program once men and materials are available.

USE OF SULFA DRUGS MAY BE DANGEROUS Live stock owners who have heard of some of the benefits from the use of sulfa drugs in treating livestock ailments have been reminded by the veterinary authorities that there is also a dangerous side to the use of these drugs. Through their improper use, the following are some of the results--degeneration of liver cells, damage to kidney tubes, depletion of bone marraw, necrosis of muscles, and in some instances hemorrhages. The authorities point out that these are not common occurrences but they may result when sulfa drugs are used by persons who do not know their proper application and limitations. The only safe way is when the drugs are used under the direction of a veterinary officer. Mennonite Brethren In Christ Church Rev. H. L.

WAY A Chance to Go Fishin . . . ! YES, and the right to go fishin*... the right to enjoy the simple, pleasant things of life! Picnics by the river--week-end trips in the old family jalopy--these are some of the things that your boy is fighting for today! And he won't be able to enjoy those things, unless we at home fight for him against inflation--unless we make sure when he gets back his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his dollar, we must realize NOW the dangers of careless, unnecessary buying! We must buy only what we need--never buy two where one will do! We must not evade rationing or price control, or deal with black markets. If we break the rules, our country--the country he's fighting for--will start on that spiral of prices known as inflation! Remember! Every time ONE of us breaks ONE of these rules, we're lowering the value of our soldier's dollar. We're helping to shoot prices sky-high ; ; ; and sky-high prices mean inflation. The value of every dollar in Canada goes down, and when the men overseas come back their dollar might buy only a quarter's worth of goods! We can prevent inflation! We can give our fighting man his "right to go fishin'", if we make sure his dollar will be worth a dollar, when he comes home. We can't give back to him his lost years, or his lost youth. But if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living -- the Canadian way of life! Make this Pledge Today! I pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation: By observing rationing and avoiding black markets in any shape or By respecting price controls and other anti-inflation measures, and refraining from careless and unnecessary buying. I will not buy two where one will do, nor will I buy a "new" where an "old" will do. Savings Stamps, Published by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) to reveal the dangers of inflation.
