FLESHERTON OVER TOP IN VICTORY LOAN "In this wealthy County, where we stAnd first in the province in the production of cattle and horses, first in sheep and swine, first in hay, oats ami barley, surely we are not going to be satisfied to stay i.i 57th place in Ontario in our pur eha-se of Victory Bonds" said 0. E. .Manning, chairman of Grey County Victory Loan Committee on Monday. Of the 62 canvassing units m On- tario, Grey County was verv near the bottom of the list. On Mondav mth 38.8 per cent, of the time of the loan gone, only 27.6 per cent of objective had been obtained. Saies amounted to Sl,240.&50, against a quota of four and a half million dollars.

Loan officials expressed the hone that the people of Grey County â- would not allow the heat of ap- proaching elections, nor the excite- ment of the possibility of Victory in Europe to make them forget the grave obligations yet to be freed. •'We must remenjber there is Japan to beat". Mr. Manning said. "Tnere are hundreds of thousands .^ of our boys who have to be brought home. They must be fed, housed and cared for ' in a hundred different, ways The wounded and sick must DlfcTe- stored to health. The maimed must be taught new ways of life.
