This time, the quota for the County has been set at $4,500,000, one quarter of a mil- lion higher. Heavy as this figure may seem, it still falls short by more than $360,- 000 of the $4,866,000 which Grey County citizens actually subscribed in the October-November Loan campaign. Officials charged with running the campaign in Grey Coun- ty state there is no doubt whatever that the county will once again, as in all past loans, rocket far pa.=t the minimum objective. They de- clare that in spite of the four and a half million quota, they will b--- extremely disappointed if the people of Grey do not oversub.scribe by a million dollars. And when one re- members the hundreds of Gr"^â-  County lads serving overseas w' Canada's armed forces whose ''•''• prayer is for the end of ki'.".- : came soon, it is readiW under«too â- : why citizens of their home County will lend and 'nan generously to speed the hour of home-coming.

Roosevelt (By Ceylon Reporter) I think at the present moment, most of our Canadians are thinking of the great loss the world has suf- fered in the death of President Roosevelt of the U.S.A. and the thought that is given to us as we listened to the different programs in tribute to him. What a great sol- dier he was and a friend to rich and poor alike, and even those of us who don't seem to mean much to our country, have a place and must carry on each in our own way to the very best of our ability and in that way live up to the late President's Good Neighbor Policy. As we listened to the new Presi- dent Harry Truman's first words af- ter the President's death, that he would try to carry out the wishes of the late President Roosevelt, is very encouraging to our Canadian country that is a close neighbor o aur American friends.
