 l As result of this town .yoinn, o,c, 1 it's assigned quota in the Nictor,. loan l drive, the town now boasts a Victor, loan flag which flies from the uac. nole 1 at Central square. The flag was re- l ceived this morning and was ra aisnd l imm ediately by tho assistant post. master. The postoffice will care for the banner from now on. The banner l is similar tn the other loan flags awarded. 1t contains a large letter Y in the middle of the field of whit c. The banner is very attractive and at trartcd much attention and comment from passerSbN.
 The town will also have the priyi- leCc of flying the banner of success which is being given to every town and city in the country which cxcecd- ed it's quota in all five loans. This town mas no indeCsion in regard to that banner, as the other four loans were lar oNersubscribed and the fifth is at lhc present time far over it's quota.
 hlS town has reason to be proud of ltSelT as a united community. If the war taught nothing else it taught the people of this town what unity would do. Manufacturers stood shouI- der to shoulder with the Workingmen and one was as good as the other when it came to a question of aiding the government. In all the campaigns for funds that same spirit of unity was ever present and it was due to it that the town won it's success.
 It is probable that the flags gained by the town will all be included in the collection Of war relics which will be the permanent manifestations in fu- turc years of what the town did in the world war
