APPEAL FROM SKIES

CANADIAN WAR SAVINGS LEAFLETS FALL IN HAMILTON “Suppose a death-dealing high explosive bomb had dropped where you picked this up—right here in Hamilton! It’s happening every hour in England; it’s war! And the people there are right on the front line with all its horrors and suffering. They need, they must have, your help. Euy war savings certificates regularly for more guns, more ships, more planes, more shells, more tanks!” Leaflets bearing this inscription and with a representation of a crashing bomb in flaming ink on the reverse side fluttered down in Hamilton, not the Waikato towns but its | namesake in Canada. One fell into the garden of Mr Henry Bertram, president of a large machinery manufacturing company at Dundas, Ontario. Mr Bertram is keenly interested in New Zealand and recently spent some weeks at Rotorua on a health recruiting visit. Thinking the Canadian publicity methods would be of interest to New Zealand he sent one of the leaflets and other matter to an Auckland friend, Mr Rollo A. Ramsay.
