PUBLIC NOTICES XHE VICTORY LOAN, 1944 Events of recent days bring back to our memolies a Speech by the Ht. Hon. Winston Churchill in the House of Commons on September 8, 1942 (all but two years ago). “ SIR, WHEN THE HOUR OF LIBERATION STRIKES IN EUROPE. AS STRIKE IT WILL. IT WILL ALSO BE THE HOUR OF RETRIBUTON." That hour, prophesied by the Greatest of Great Statesmen, has struck. The future of the world is now in the hands of those who, through the dark years of disaster and defeat, have paved the way to the Final Victory now in sight. The people of New Zealand have promised unbounded support to their men and women in the Services, those men and women of whom the late Patrick Hore Ruthven, on 6 of their own number, says: "FROM FIELDS AND TOWNS AND VILLAGES WE COME, DESERT OUR LOVES FOR THIS NEW CHASTITY, LEAVE HOME BEHIND AND CALL THAT SHAMBLES HOME WHERE BURSTS THE BOMB. WHERE BLOOD SHALL STREAM, WHERE REEKS THE GAS, WHERE BULLETS SCREAM. FOR THIS WE WERE ORDAINED LOVE’S BEAUTIES LIE ALONG STRANGE WAYS THAT WE AT LAST SHALL ROAM. TRUE TO OUR LAUGHING GODS WE YOUNG MEN DlE.’’ Let us be True to them. Surely, then, this Appeal to SUBSCRIBE TO THE VICTORY LOAN is a CLARION CALL TO EVERY CITIZEN OF THIS DOMINION TO DO HIS OR HER DUTY TOWARDS THOSE WHO HAVE MADE THE SACRIFICE THAT WE MAY REAP THE FRUITS OF VICTORY. NORTH OTAGO’S OBJECT IS £304,000 Can we, out of heartfelt gratitude for the Victory that is now in sight, make this NORTH OTAGO’S GREATEST EFFORT, BY OVER-SUBSCRIBING WITHIN THE ALLOTTED TIME?
