The story of their visit to the Scottish castle of the Duke of AT- gyle at Inverary was told by Do- Minion Vilardi, New York City, on his return from the North Af- rican campaign. He said the four slipped past members r>f the Scottish niack Watch RpginifMit oil Ruai'd at the castle and were Invited In by the Duke himself.

Sir: During th liattle of Bri- tain thfire were five Hurricane* for every Spilfire. and the Hurri- canes shot down more enemy air- craft than did all the other fight- ers ou'- own and the enemy's put together. This is due not only to Mr. ("ainni, the designer, but to Mr. T. O. M. Sopwlth who. whils Ui Air Ministry were wondering whether to order a couple of dozen Hur- rtcanps or a c.oupl r.f hundred, signed an order to the works to produce 1.000 Hurricanes. I believe the Hurricane- saved Britain in her darkest hour and not th Spitfire. HITCH MITCHKI.L.

Perhaps you will say w are dreaming but we know thai we are not. George and 1, like thousand* of newly married couples, always wanted a home of our own, but it seemed to get farther and further away. Our bank account never .seemed to grow now we know why. It was too easy to write a cheque for all the things we desired. But sines we have been investing iu Victory Bonds and War Savings Cer- tificates our savings have grown with remarkable speed. The reason of cause is that we think twice before we "cash in" a hundred dollar Victory Bond for some small purchase, becaus* we know that the rest of the money will be wasted on thing's we do not really need. That is why we will be able to build our dream-house right after Victory m achieved. TO YOU WHO AJLREADY OWN OR ARE BUYING YOUR HOME I !-ii l> What Victory Bond* Mean: A Victory Bond is a promise of better times. It means buying power for you aftew the war . . . real cash to spend . . . for thing* you are now doing without. It mean.s a nast-egg for UM at any time to tide you over sickness or other emergency. It ia the best se- curity for a loan. Any bank will cce-pt it. it means Capital to .start a business of your own, money to learn a. new trade, to send your child to University, to buy the modern things designers ar preparing for you . . . plastic cars . . . television . . . frequency . . . modu- lation radios . . . air conditioning . . , or to buy anything you desire. But above all, it means that your heart w in the right place in this grim struggle, and that you are behind our men BACKING THr: ATTACK. TO CANADA a Victory Bond means the pledge of your wholehearted up- port in the nation's all-out offensive. It ui your personal order to Canad* to go ahead on all fronts. So hold on to your Victory Bond*. Keep your dollars fighting until Victory ia won.
