Lethbridge Reaches Victory Loan Top in Canada
Lethbridge topped the Fourth Victory Loan with over 1 million dollars raised by Thursday afternoon and a final tally above 1 250 000 after a 100 000 gift from the Sick Memorial Fund. City officials aim for 1 500 000 as canvassing continues with plans for a recreation hall. The Sick trust funds were temporarily invested through the British Canadian Trust Company and directed to the loan. Emil Sick Jr led the committee in announcing the milestone as Lethbridge becomes the first city of its class to exceed the top in Canada.
