URGES CO-OPERATION

Reeve ALEX HOUGEN
of Sumas
Vice-Chairman M-S-A NWFC

“By Monday noon, Victory Loan
salesmen in the M-S-A district
had sold Ninth Victory Bonds
to the value éf $136,100. They
are off to a grand stait, but they
will need the co-operation of
every man and woman in the
area if we are to reach our
quota”, declared Reeve Hougan
as he examined reports turned
in by salesmen. Continuing, the
Sumas reeve said:

“Generally speaking, farmers
in the M-S-A district have en-
jeyed a reasonable measure of
prosperity during the war years,
and in most cases have been able
to put aside a little money each
year to take care of the inevi-
table ‘rainy days’ which are
bound to occur in any trade or
industry. Those who have in-
vested their surplus funds in the
Victory Bond issues of the past
now have money with which
they can erect barns, purchase
new farm machinery and improve
their property in general as soon
as equipment and materials of
all kinds become plentiful. Those
investors can look back and say
‘I certainly picked a good place
for my money that time.’ How-
ever, it is not too late to make
similar investments; the Ninth
Victory Loan offers a_ splendid
rate of interest and as for secur-
ity, the bonds are backed by the
entire resources of the Dominion
of Canada.”

_ Looking back over the previous
Victory Loans gives you a stirr-

ing feeling of things hoped for
and things accomplished. We
gave our money I should
say, LENT our money to the
government for the carrying on
of a war that had many a sad
chapter.

Some of the loans were con-
ducted when the fortunes of war
were with the enemy, and the
future looked black. We may
have been downhearted in those
days, but there was never a mo-
ment for most of us in which
we had any doubt about the final
outcome. We had no fear, most
of us, that the enemy would win
and that the money we were
paying out would be worthless.
So we chipped in each time, and
we put the Victory Loan over
the top with a bang.

This time it is different. Its
a real victory loan. We have
beaten the forces of evil, and

now we are buying bonds to
help with the job of seeing that
the victory is worthwhile. Peace
as Well as war, has its problems.

And if you think that the end
of hostilities means the end of
necessary financing, these figures
Should give you some idea. War
expenditures figures from April
1 to August 31 this year were
$2,000,000,000. War and demobil-
ization figures from September 1
of this year to March 31 next
pear will amount to $1,365,000,-

So let’s put this Victory Loan
over the top too. This time the
gevernment is asking for money
to carry on for a 12-month per-
iod. Previous loans were for a
six-month period.

So let’s all dig deep.

B.C. MAY ATTRACT
LARGE NUMBER OF
NEW INDUSTRIES

Howard Walters, Director of
the B.C. Electric’s Industrial De-
velopment Department, reports
over 150 inquiries have come
in from Eastern Canadian and
American points as a result of
the B.C. Electric’s international
business development campaign.

“During the last month”, states
Walters, “we have received over
150 inquiries from six other pro-
vinces in Canada and eight states
in the U.S. The largest number
of these 58 comes from the Pro-
vince of Ontario while 33 lave
come from Quebec; New York
leads the American list with a
total of seven but we have also
had inquiries from Minnesota, Al-
abama, Washington, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois.”

The B.C. Electric carhpaign,
which features the slogan “Busi-
ness is Moving to B.C.” is spon-
soring advertisements dealing
with the basic industries and na-
tural advantages of the Province
of B.C. The ads are running in
the leading newspapers and mag-
azines in Eastern Canada and the
United States, and the London
(England) Economist. Main in-
terest, so far, according to Wal-
ters, lies in the lumbering busi-
ness. Some 86 of the total num-
ber of replies received inquire
as to some phase of lumbering
or its many allied trades. Fish-
ing rates second on the list with
a total of some 40 inquiries.

Victory Bonds are a splendid

investment at a rock-bottom price.

GIVE THEM THE
TOOLS OF PEACE *

BY BUYING MORE
VICTORY BONDS

Give our returned men at least an even
chance to re-establish themselves in civilian
life. We gave them the tools of war and they
finished the job... now give them the tools
of peace.

Your money, loaned to the government in
VICTORY BONDS, will be YOUR savings
to buy for you the improved homes, stoves;
refrigerators, cars, etc., that you have been
wishing for these many years.

BUY DOUBLE THIS TIME—the same rate
of savings as in previous Victory Loans, will
pay for twice as many bonds as before.
