QAb VICTORY JAA-M On October the 22nd, tho people of Can­ada are faced vdth the responsibility of raising $1,500?00090003 This is both a responsibility and an opportunity, It is a responsibility because many of our War Obligations have not been net as yete For on© thing, the boys still overseas can’t swin back. It costs the Canadian Govern­ment $67. just to bring on© soldier across the Atlantic, to say nothing of additional expense on both sides of that ocean-. For onjrther thing, th© pay and dependent’s allowances of these nen nust go on as long as they aro in th© forces,, Also, the dis­charge allowances and gratuities, and re­habilitation grants, which are not overly generous nuet be paid to thase nen to help then get a start in civilian lifeo These are only a few of the responsibilities that th© 9th Victory Loan places upon us. As to tho opportunities. This Loan gives us another opportunity to invest in the best. All of the previous Bond Issues are now listed above par^ sone of then as nuoh as four dollars above per one hundred dollars. It is our opportunity to donon- strata to the world that all the spirit of co-operation has not been used up in the War. >e hop© for nany Public Works in the next year or two. These cost money. The Government has only two sources of ancons; ' Najasly, Taxation and Losha. Of the two Loans are th© best received by the public. I have not received notification of the quota for th© Magrath unit but it will be large. But I an sure that ws can nake it with the co-operation of the publice When tha Bond Salesman coils on you, as h© will during the week of October 15th, please be ready to buy end bpy double.
