, indicator.! Instead of-the ;£80,000 originally aimed at, there seem distinct prospects of a total In the region of £300,000, which would be beyond the expOctatlons of the most sanguine prophets when the week opened. There were some who thought a quarter of a million not, impossible of achievement, but there were more who-thought w6’ should do very well to get £200,000. Clitheroe borough and rural district, together withi Rowland, have never fallen short in any demonstration of loyalty, and, working together in this remarkable campaign, the triumvirate has found | new enthusiasm which has swept! War Weapons' Week, to triumphant success. Perhaps the finest feature


. has been!the determination of the so-called Ismail Investors worthily to play their part.' Together, these small investors become i very, b^ Investors, and the chief value cu War Weapons Weeks may be found in! the impetus given to systematic saving and lending. Emphasis in our own campaign has rightly been placed upon the vital importance o f continuing the saving, and the establishment of many new;groups, In- town and country, will lead to financial help being perpetually afforded. The bigger Investments are extremely welcome, but In the nature of things these cannot be repeated with anything likd .the frequency of the substantial group


.contributions which gojon, veek after week, providing a stead)! stream of money foij the! courtry’s purposes. We write before the end of !t|ie campaign, but we.have no hesitation In declaring War Weapons Week j a | very notable success, justifying: all the thought and energy put Into it.

= New hats for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hltchln, the Hon. Mrs. Assheton,. and Mr. James Qreen were assured yesterday, when the War Weapons Week total rose'to £200,597. The unveiling ceremony was performed by military officers, the first of whom told a large'concourse about an officer-who, after a long spell .of shelling practice iln peace time, turned away with the remark, “ There goes my income tax.” No doubt he would halve regarded the matter: very differently [today, had h$ known that the shells were land­ ing amongst the Nazis.


,iThe officer then read a telegram


which the Mayor had received from Mr. Lewis, Commissioner of the


Natlofial Savings Atooclatlon (N.-W- Region), which read:


H^btlest congratulations upon winning hats for .the'Mayoress and yourself. Clltheroe’s effort magnificent. May your hopes


- for- £250,000 be realised. “Mostiof us In the Army find! We


have not as much money as weiiad before the war, but we,get it fairly regularly,” the officer continued, adding: “ I suggest that, the best


,way to save is regularly and In small sums. Anyone can do that, In fact, I have determined to do it myself.”


Unveiling the figures, a second


officer said that hairing bought a number of bombers, the public


.might very well see If; they colild not buy a few bombs for the same. For those who felt they could not afford a bomber, which only cost' about £20,000 they might like to buy an anti-aircraft shell, costing £4, or a hand grenade,' which could be procured for four shillings. All the same, the people of Cllth'bro'e


.and the surrounding district Were doing very well indeed, and they had until Saturday noon to set up a record, which would be difficult for other! places commensurate In slsje to surpass. CUtheroe took a justi- able pride In being the second oldest borough In. Lancashire, and he hoped Its citizens were out to set up a financial total which would prove to be historic.
