the council in connection with the present victory loan campalrn mr paul fisher chairman of county committee mr l c amys county organizer nnil mr a s auld ac- corlnk to mr fisher ottawa thinks rightly or wrongly that farmers have money nnd that n greater effort hould bo made by them in this vic tory loan campaign than has been dono in the past ottawa also asks ald mr fisher that rural com mittees be sot up to help canvassers in their work as to the flnenclnl standing vef tho farmer i was asking n bank official the other day if far mers as n whole had more money in the bank than formerly his answer was no they havent more money but their credit is better solt just comes touils farmers will have to buy bondsand if uioy havent the cosh then they must buy to tho kill limit of their credit mr amys as mr fisher has told you n request has come from ottawa for local committees to back victory loan canvassers in every way pos sible ottawa is asking that a spec ial drive be mode in rural areas and the reason they give is this 1 that there have been good crops nearly everywhere in ontario 2 that farm prices have improved considerably 3 thnt in recognition of the fact that tho farmer does not- pay income tax nor does he come under tho compulsory savings plan therefore ho should be able to give greater support thqn formerly nrid where ready cash is not available he should be ready to buy to the full limit of his credit mr auld was the next speoker and suggested that the county c urull consider the purchnso of victory bonds amounting to j50000 this am ount to be shared by the munlcipall- tlesaccordlngto their assessment the matter was threshed out pretty thoroughly in open council and while members were unanimous in tbelr decision to help rural canvassers they also felt they had neither the right nor the available funds to purchase bonds for the county which even tually would have to be paid for in direct taxation said mr macdonald the govern ment has the power to impose direct taxation why pass the buck along to us mr kerns formers hove had u continued on page elffhn norvnl speaker addresses knox wms meeting mrs leggelt of norvnl was the guest speaker for the
