One day he hit it rich and retired to industrial life. eam was M“Smdy”bonflefl:‘zm and chief gold hunter. "Sandy" and his salesâ€" men did find gold. $265.400 worth of it. They also found courage and determination in the hearts and the minds of Grimsby citiâ€" zens. A determination to buy bonds until it hurt and thus make sure of a successful prosecution of the war. _ C The present loan went over the top by $75,000. This is the third loan and in each of the preceding loans the objective set was passed by a gondly amount. _ In th« first loan the citizens subscribed for $206,000; the second for $220,000, and now in in the third for $265,400. A grand total in the three l8ans of $691,400. Truly a remarkable effort. Add to that amount $67,000 for War Saving stamps; $1,200 for British War Vieâ€" tims ; $248. for Folish and Chinese relief ; $1,â€" 750. for Red Cross Ambulance; $1,200 for Station Wagon:; $1,651, spent for various mmmsnv?: $9,785 in donations received by various War Charities ; $9,270 in Red Cross drives; then the amount of money donated for many miscellaneous “fihs“‘l“fi_c'“pfl-â€"_w must suréely reach the Hundred Thousand DoPar mark.
