EDITORIAL NOTES In next issue we are commencing a series of articles on the Royal Can- adian Air Force and the Common- wealth Air Training Plan, written for the members of the Canadian Weekly Newpapers Association by Mr. Hugh Templin, editor of the Fergus News- Record. Mr. Templin was chosen by the editors of the Association to cov- er the work at the various training camps and schools throughout t country and tell about them to the rural people of Ontario. A better man fr>r the task could not have been chosen, as Mr. Templin's literary talents arc well known and apprec- iated. We have much pleasure in presenting these articles to our -ead- ers, one of which will be published *ach week. The Canadian Red Cross Society is doing a splendid work in war torn Enpland in supplying assistance for many of those injured in i,he bomb- ing r a ids. They also supply clothing, socks, etc., to the army, navy and air f^rcc, and equip hospitals for the care of the sick and wounded. All these services are supplied from con- tributions from the- ciiizens of Can- ada in various ways subscriptions, teas, donation? and various othei means. They have to rely on the generosity of the public in order tr carry on their work. There i? .- p"-rr>t jioeH for knitted poods for the various services for use next winter and the h?ads of the Red Cross are urging that this work be commenced at once in order to be prepared for demands on their supplies which will be made later. To do this many more knitters are needed to tarry on and any per- son who can use knitting needles are urtred to contact their local Society which will supply the necessary yarn for the socks, mitts, scarves and other woollen goods. Don't lose sight of the fact that to supply the yarn the Branch needs money to buy the sup- plies for the work. The funds of the Fles-herton-ArVmesia Branch are low at the present ti-ne and the noed of donations and gifts is urgent. This Red Cross work is of the greatest importance to the fighting man in the field of operations, carrying comfort and ease to the wounded and dis- tressed. Your interest in this work is needed at once. Over the topi That was the news received in town Thursday morning from the Victory Loan committee when the results of Wednesday's canvass was phoned to district head- Quarters at Owen Sound and it was announced that the Flesherton, Arte- mesia and Oaprey (part) district was the first in Grey County too reach their objoctivo. It was a fitting climax to thi- great work of the can- vassers who labored night and day that the alotincnt would he vcnchcd in the shortest nossible time, and n credit to the people of thp district for their supjxirt of the Victory Loan campaign. The canvassers have not yet completed their tour of the dis- trict and it is expected that the total subscription will be one quarter over the alotment. If any person who has already taken out bonds could see fit to increase their subscription it would be appreciated by the local commit- tee compoaed of Messrs. H. W. Ker- Tiahan, J. A. Richards, G. McTavish and T. Fisher. Just get in touch with them and they will do the rest. All the money that can be secured will be taken, as tho need is great. If you hnvc not yt been approached by any canvasser jusit get in touch with the above named. You are not giving this money to the government, you are just loaning it to make sure that the tools are given b,j Britain so that the job of defeating Nazism and slavery can be comph-ted.
