Please keep this date open. If Germany does not surrender unconditionally, there will be no V- Day proclaimed in Europe until ail Germany has been occupied. For this, we have the word of General Eisenhower. The Commander-in- Chief of the .-VUied Forces in West- ern Europe also declared that sev- eral pockets of enemy resistance. Our troops have already shown ki^n proficiency in the job of clean ins out such pockets. And with final victory all but achieved, they will be ready again to close in on the German,s, fully realizing that they may die just a few days be- fore all will be preparing to come back home and to all the precious associations of home. Coincident with this situation on tht Europeam battlefront, citizens of Canada also face a pocket clean- ing job. To pay f.he financial cost of the European victory which is now almost ours, to maintain Can ada's armed forces nntil such time as they have been demobilized, to divert war materials to the Far East and to meet the financial bonuses which we have promised to our veteraiis of wa- the Eighth Victory Loan objective of $1,350,00- 0,000 must be reached. And to reach it, individual citizens will need to retain all the enthusiasm wliich 'they displayed in previous Victory Loans, ju&t as we expect our boys in Germany to be as ag- gressive in the last battles as they .vere at Caen and on the Rhine. Flesherton has always been a leader in bond purchases. The total bought during the seven Victory Loans was $321,000. and the interest on these bonds amounts to $9,6.30. Artemesia, one of the heaviest buy- ers among the to-w'nships of the County has bought S666.0OO on which the interest is $19,780 annu- ally. Osprey purchases were $421.- 000, ajiii interest in the amount of $12,630 comes in each year from the Osprey bonds.
