Ingersoll Kiwanis Club member*
heard an interesting talk on the work
of the British Empire Air Training
Plan by Sergt. Pilot Ivan M. Weis-
brod, one of the Instructors under
this plan at the Crumlin Airport, at
their regular weekly meeting on
Thursday evening at the Ingersoll
Inn.
The Club president, W. A. C. For
man was 'in charge of the meeting
and guests included Howard S.
Wright, formerly of Ingersoll, who is
the Chief Instructor at the Crumlin
Airport and IMr. B. B. McCarty of
Ingersoll, an uncle of the speaker.
The speaker, who was introduced
by Kiwanian Royden G. Start, out
lined the plan of training under the
British Empire Air Training scheme.
The first aim was to get the finest
type of young men possible to train
for pilots and because of this the
educational standards were set quite-
high. About ten per cent, of the pilots
who enlisted ifcere from the United
States, the speaker mentioned, and in
addition to the Canadians, there are
many from the British Isles, Austral
ia, New Zealand, South Africa and
other British colonies. The speaker
also mentioned that one of the latest
recruits at London was a young man
from Peru.
The Air Force recruits first go to
one of the various Manning Pools
throughout Canada from where they
are sent to an initial training school
for several weeks. The next step
is the intermediate school and from
this they either continue their course
at one of the advanced schools in
Canada or are sent to the British
Isles for " their final training.
A review of the schedule followed
by an Air Force man was given and
the speaker emphasized the fact that
all are taught to do the little things
as correctly and as perfectly as pos
sible. “I have yet to find,” said Mr.
Weiabrod, “any better rules and in
structions than those laid down in
the instruction books of the R. A. F.”
,The percentage of students who are//ced to discontinue flying because
of sickness, inability to learn to fly
in the required time or other reasons
figured between ten and fifteen per
cent, the speaker said. He stressed
the fact that it was necessary to
inforce strict discipline in the train-
ing of pilots, and strongly emphasized
that there was no room in.the Air
Force for the student who, when he
acquired a high degree of skill, took
advantage of It to do away with the
sense of discipline necessary to‘carry
him through successfully.
* He paid particular tribute to the
enthusiasm and energy displayed by
the young men he had tome in con
tact with, who are training under the
British Empire Air Training Plan,
and said it spoke well for the ulti
mate success of the venture and
would lead to Britain's eventual mas
tery of the air.
The thanks of the club were extep-
ded to the speaker by- Major J. C.
Herbert. During the meeting enter
tainment was provided by Mis* Lonnie
Love and Bruce Armstrong of Lon
don, a nephew of Kiwanian J. M.
'Wilson, on their “singing” guitars.
Their following numbers were great
ly enjoyed. “Across the Be*,”, “King’s
Serenade,” “Hilo March” and “On
the Beach at Waikiki.”
The Cook's Corners’ Literary So
ciety Keld their regular meeting
on March 6th, 1941, at Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Bowman’s, which was well at
tended^' Miss Helen Stover presided.
"O Canada” was sung with Miss Ina
Banbury at the piano. Mr. Walter
Wilson, Jr.,’ssyas appointed critic for
the evening.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read by Mr. Ken. Foster and
approved. The roll call, “My favorite
winter pastime,” was given and tome
business discussed after which Reta
Amos favpred with a very ppBtty,piano solo. A. splendid JournalXvas
written and >read by Ken. Foster.
Rev., Cumming gave the topic,
"Winter sports, in Canada,” passing
some poems to be read by some of
the members. This was very interest
ing, educational and well worth
hearing. A sing-song conducted by
Rev. Cumming was enjoyed, as were
also two contests arranged by Ina
Banbury and Bruce Amos, the com
mittee in charge.
The finished “Fin Wheel” quilt
was on display and much admired.

humored .report and. Bruce Amos

Help Him Carry On To Victory
He’s just a lad as years go, and he’s full of the
joy of living—even in this mad, grief-stricken world
that has forgotten how to “play the game." We took
him from schools, shops, farms, factories and offices.
He laid down his fishing rod and tennis racquet and
skiis, and donned a uniform and shouldered a rifle—
without’ a murmur, without a complaint.
He did these things willingly, proudly, because he
knows that he and his pals, and older fridnds, have
a mighty important job on their hands right now.
He knows the meaning of war and sacrifice
heaven knows that’s been drilled into our children
since the last show—'but he also knows the meaning
of Nazi bestiality and slavery. , And he’s determined
that it will never overcome England, will never find
its way to this side of the Atlantic to destroy the
freedom and security of those near and dear to him
—and the Canada he loves.
This boy is somebody’s son, somebody’s brother. ■
He could be yours . . .
This lad, this youth of high ideals and principles,
is our hope of the future. We rely on him—and
thousands of others like him—to carry on where we
leave off, to make this nation fill the high role of
leadership in the new and happier world of nations
that is to follow.
His King, his Empire, is proud of his unselfish re
sponse in this hour of need. And we—his folks
back home to whom he has waved a “cheerio" and
‘thumbs up”—are we proud of him? Words, mere,/'
words, cannot answer that.
To-day, we who hold the home front are being
challenged—challenged by a conscience that will not
let us be. For to-day we have the one and only oppor
tunity that will come unthin the next 12 months to
show our love, our gratitude to this youth who stands
for all Canadian youths.
Perhaps he is still among us. Perhaps he is “over •
there" in that Island Fortress we call Britain But
wherever he is, he ip counting on YOU to continue
for his benefit, education, entertainment, recreation,
a«d personal assistance—services that only YOU can
provide.
You won’t let him down. He’s confident of that
And because he has faith in you, and faith in the
cause for which he is fighting, he’ll never let you
down.
He’s asking you—his mothers, fathers, brothers,
sisters, sweethearts and, friends—to give now, give.
generously, to the Canadian War Services Fund. For
he knows that if you fail him in this cause, the things
that have helped to make his life on active service
happier, more purposeful, will not be there to help
him carry on to victory.
. The Campaign opens March 24 and the participat
ing organizations are the Canadian Legion, I.O.D.E.,
Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, Y-M.C.A, and
Y.W.CJL
Not “Made In Germany”
We wonder if it has ever occurred to you to weigh
the relative merits of the Dictator states opposite the
Democracies in the matter of contributions of major
improvements to modern living. A little thought
will demonstrate vtry clearly that the scientific genius
in the Democracies not only can but always has out
stripped that of the Germans, or the Italians tpr that
matter.
, Insidious German propaganda over a long period
■of years has contributed to the popular belief that as
a racf they possess superior inventive ability, whereas
the truth shows they have very largely taken the in
ventions of other counties and adapted them to their
own commercial or nefarious ends.
With few exceptions,- the label “Made in Germany*’
has proved its own worst advertisement. . >■
Let us look then at some of the more outstanding
developments of the past century that have been
responsible for modern world progress and present-day .
industrial expansion. All of them contributed by the
Democracies. In the realm of power, Watts, a Scots
man, gave us the steam engine; Faraday, an English
man, the dynamo; Lebon, a Frenchman, the internal
combustion engine. Modern trarmportatioi^ is indebt
ed to Stevenson for the locomotive and to Fulton and
Wright brothers of the United State* for the steam

CAPACITY CROWD ATTRINITY CHURCH FOR
WORLD TRAVELOGUE
Premiere of Douglas M. Carr’s
'‘Thirty Moons Around The
World”, Acclaimed As One
of Finest Illustrated Lec
tures Ever Given In Inger
soll.
An audience, representative of the
town And district, filled Trinity Uni
ted Church, Ingersoll, to capacity on
Friday evening, March 7th, for the
premiere presentation by Dooglas
M. Carr of his Illustrated Travelogue,
“Thirty Moons Around The World.”
So large was the crowd that it was
found necessary to provide extra
seating accommodation by placing
chairs in the aisles. The attendance
was a tribute to Mr. Carr’s popular
ity in his home town and a desire on
the part of the people of this com
munity to see and hear of the trip
that took this Ingersoll young man
some seventy thousand miles, through
forty-five countries, on a two and a
half year trip by foot and every
known means of transportation.
From his collection of nearly three
thousand pictures taken on the trip,
Mr. Carr presented over one hundred
and thirty still views. Each picture
was beautifully colored and was the
work of one of the best recognized
lantern slide artists in Canada.
For over two hours the speaker
hjtld his audience spell-bound with
an intensely interesting account of
some of the world's famous places
and of her most beautiful and fascin
ating sights. He related how a six
months' holiday visit to the British
Isles in 1937 to attend the Coron
ation of King George VI and Queen
Elizabeth turned into a thirty
months* trip, to nearly all of the
countries that are making the front
page news today.
Mr. Carr opened the travelogue by
tracing on a large map the route of
his 'round-the-world tour. The first
scene was the peaceful city of Dover,
England, that, since the. outbreak of
war, has been repeatedly attacked by
the enemies of Britain. Many views
of the British Isles in all their gran
deur, Their Majesties reviewing the
fleet, the changing of the guard, soup
box orators in Hyde Park, were fol
lowed scenes in France, Holland,
Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Switzer
land, Italy, .taken as the traveller
cycled throughout Europe during the
summer o{ 1937.
Crossing from Palermo, Sicily, Mr.
Carr arrived in Tunis and cycled
eastward over the now famous coast
al road across Libya through Si^loum
and Sidi Barrani to Alexandria in
Egypt. He then made his way to
Cairo and Capetown. Hitch-hiking to
Durban, he “signed on” as the purser
of an English trampship that took
him to the Philippine Islands and
later to Saigon in French Indo-fhina.
By bus, train and -boat he visitgd
Bangkok, Singapore and Colombo'
before crossing into India. He spent
nearly three months in this, strange
and interesting land, seeing it from
Madura in the south to the Khyber
Pass and kashmir in the north, and
from Bombay on the west to Calcutta
and Darjeeling in the eakt.
Heading west, he told of his, trav
els in IriRi-(Persia), Iraq, Syria and
the Holy Land to Egypt. Crotang theMeditersknean Sea- again, he made
his way back to • Germany from
Greece, having travelled by boat up
the Danube from Belgrade to Buda
pest.
With great difficulty he said he fin
ally secured the required pampoit
visas.to Leave Germany for China.
Departing from Redin, July 14th,
1939, he expn "ed the belief thu. he
was probably the last Canadian tour
ist to have made this trip by the
Trans-Siberian Express ^across Pol
and, Russia and Menchukuo to
Peking before war declared.
Arriving in Vancouver from Jap
an, he visited the Canadian Rockies,
hitch-hiked down the coast tc^jxis
Angeles and saw the World's Fair
ih New York before returning home
in October, 1939.
High lights of the travelogue were
comparisons of conditions in a num
ber ot countries with those of Can
ada, and Mr. Carr declared with em
phasis that his audienee should be
glad that they were Canadian* and
had such a grand country to live in
*» Canada which was really a heaven
on earth.
The applauw that greeted the
, speaker throughout h . talk and at
the <*<>aeluBkm of his remarks, were
steady ipdicativr that the travelogue

illustrated lectures ever presented

The British Ministry of Food has
asked. Canada to supply the United
Kingdom in the 12 months beginning
April 1, 1941, with 112,000,000
pounds, of Canadian cheddar cheese
‘land* as much additional as can be
spared, also 48,000,000 one-lb. tins
of evaporated milk of a 9 per cent i
fat content per tin.
To supply these orders will require
Canadian milk production in 1941 to
be increased by more than 6,000,000,-
000 pounds—an opportunity and a
responsibility on -Canadian dairymen.
Milk production per cow during
the spring, summer and fall can be
| substantially increased by condition
ing dry cows now-. Cows that are
thin at time of calving must use
parfe, of their feed to regain condL
tion at the expense of milk product--
ion. Spring calving cows should be
fed sufficient ^-ougfiage and grain
now to "improve, .th^ir coijdftichj be

PROHIBITION DEMANDS ON *
GOVERNMENT
There are many demands, empha
sized by letters, petitions or dele
gates, being made upon the authori
ties in the capital for severe restrict
ions, if not complete prohibition, on
the import, manufacture or sale of
alcoholic beverages in Canada for
the duration of the war, with the
argument being tendered that the
annual sum of $130,000,000 now
spent for such purposes could be
turned over to the- war effort. How
ever, in high circles on Parliament
Hill it is pointed out that the Do
minion Government does not import,
nor sell these commodities becausethese are under the direction of the

though the Federal Government does
receive about $40,000,000 each year
from this source, made up of $13,-
, 03,631 from hard liquors, $13,-
844,051 from beers, and the balance
from sales tax. A recent survey dis
closed that 35 cents of every dollar
spent for such purposes went to the
Dominion Government, 35 cents to
the Provincial Governments and 30

TRUTH of CANADA’S. ROCKET | will have to be brokenRIDE INTO ASTRONOMICAL u------------jL
DEBT FIGURES
Although it may not be known to
the average Canadian, yet it is a
fact that history is made not in Par
liament but rather in lobbies, in
caucuses, in private members’ rooms,
and elsewhere in the capital, with the
natural result that right now some
appalling statements are being made
about the meaijwg of plans and pro
grammes irf^anada’s war effort dur
ing this coming fiscal year that are
often not contained ■ in the regular
reports or despatches from the na
tion's capital. If the average Canad
ian could be informed of all these
statements overheard in the capital,
he or she would soon fully realize
that it will require absolute patriot
ism and complete intelligence, great
fortitude and mighty courage to face
the^truth which is that though ,a
large part of the population is now
living at such a level of living stand-’
ards that they feel Htat they can
bear very little- of the increased bur
dens or that they-feel that they have
been asked to bear quite a tremen
dous burden so far in the war yft,
the terrific speed of this rocket ride
into astronomical debt, figures Joi
Canada's war effort is due torincrease
steadily in the coming months to
such an extent that the present pos
ition may appear to be pusillanimous
in comparison to what the future
may bring and which no one can fore-
tell’accuratefy,-entailing quite frank
ly the most astringent forms of econ
omy and the most drastic changes*
in the moUe of living, or habits of
life of the average Canadian in the
entire history of this country.
This is no attempt to scare anyone
but it is an attempt to tell the truth
•o that fiscal sanity may exist and
public opinion may be prepared to
face the' war bill that must, be paid
not.-only, by the present citizens of
Canada but also by their children.
It trades upon that’ trait of human
nature which makes a dime a day
■eem so much 1c m than $36.50 ■ a
year. And the bill must be paid by
]»isoned condition of the system.Thoqf who know Dr. Chase’sKidn^-Uwr Pills appreciate thevaluv of a real medicine whichnot only effects a thorough cleansing of the colon or large bowel butarouses the liver and kidneys

Canada's war conscious population
because if this war should be lost,
everything will be lost
It must be bom in mind by the
average Canadian that it is absolutely
fundamental to national defense, in
ternal security and the war effort
that the credit of the Government at ;Ottawa should be maintained on an
even or. proper keel to avert disaster
or to make a suprement effort
against the dead]/ enemies, with all
citizens of the land contributing to
that structure in one way or another
and no temporary stop-sign possibly
interferring with the glaring head
lights of full speed ahead. While in
the last W&rld War Canada spent less
than an average of $8,50,000,000 .a
year, yet for the fiscal year of 1941-
1942 alone its war machine requires
$1,300,000,000, for the repatriation
of Canadian securities in London to:facilitate British war purchases in
Cantada $400,000,000, for routine
administration purposes $433,000,-
000, and for-the probable cost of
Provincial and Municipal Govern
ments $575,000,000, making a grand
total of $2,700,000,000 which is
more than half of the national in-
i come for the fiscal year that is es
timated to be no more than $5,300,-
000,000. Then.i additional monies
will be tiedi up in wheat financing
operations. This is a situation which 1
j has never arisen in all the long his- <
' torv of this country, and precedents i. _ -- . M we]| M
changes made in the standard of liv- 1
ing, regardless what measures are i
taken by the authorities to raise this i
amount So far as it can be determ- i
ined along Parliament Hill, the j
Government plans to get the money ;
by raising 60 per’cent of the needs I
through taxation and 40 per cent by 1
various kinds of borrowing, with the I
whole plan entailing a policy not to <
cripple industry, not to ruin busi- 1
ness,, and not to raise unreasonably t
living costs, though there will be en- i
tirely new sources of taxation, price r
control, saving to the bone, elimin
ation of “luxuries” or .high life from <
the nation’s standards, possiUly ra
tions, and other exactions imposed bythe war in the "pay-as-you-go”-pro- ‘
gramme. These are inevitable hard
ships of this war.
The average Canadian still remem-
bers the last Wqrld War and it is ,
phenomenally true along Parliament
Hill that the authorities have failed j
to convince the people that thia w
an entire!/ different kind of struggle
than the last .world conflict in face
of the weak efforts of official public
ists. Without adjusting inflated price
levels as they existed during tisat
last u*ar, it had expenditures of about
$277,425,000,000 for the nations in
volved and it. took a toll of about
10,000,000 lives. But in this war so
far the cost has not been so much in 1
human lives as in monies. It is a
war of machines more than men.
More and more machines are ased
that are more and more expensive as
time marches on. War planes cost
now many times over what the/ did
in the last war and (o train a pilot

$25,000 before he ia able to handle

power much* in exeew of that used
in the last war. The same story can
be told about modern naval equip
ment, modern submarine*, modern
coastal defences, airplanes carriers, ,anU-airereft protection, tanks, etc. I
In fact, military operations ara en
tirely different both in scope, nature,
and lethal possibilities, with the ad
ditional statement that to-day it is
just as important to bear mind
that far more men are needed in the
factories than in the fields. Some
how or other the average Canadian
cannot be convinced of this change
of warfare I'equirwneDta Indeed, ^t,
is a change that brings a war more
and ’more back to the people on the

DIVIDED OPINIONS IN PROVIN
CES OVER SEAWAY and
POWER AGREEMENT
In face of all cautious attitudes
by the Governments of Quebec and
Ontario, it is possible to report that
the negotiations for the St. Lawrence
Waterways and Power Agreement
have advanced very far in all direct
ions. Opinions in Ontario and Quebec
are not identical, with the general
trend in the former favouring the
plan but in the latter there is strong
and powerful opposition, particularly
to any ideas that may impair the
Beauhamois development, though the
Quebec authorities are anxious to co
operate with the present Administra
tion in Ottawa which seems inclined
to complete the scheme in full agree
ment with the United States Govern
ment.
CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATION
Notwithstanding all stories to the
contrary, it is understood in usually
well-informed ciroles in Ottawa that
no national convention, of the Con
servative Party will be held for many
months, with the probability that
such a national representative gath
ering would not take place before
next year.

Chapter I
The morning following Ellen’s
departure from the earthly scene,
Mark woke to confusion Then helooked through the open doorwayinto the emptiness that was Ellen's
room, and remembered. But oddlyenough, it was not his wife’s going,that came back to him. It was the
memory of the horridly sweetfumes from hundreds of blossoms—the curious mingling of dissolution
and festivity—that had risen to theupstairs sitting room where he andyoung Valerie bad sat the day be
fore in deference to custom
He was indignant that after submitting to the conventions thrust
upon him. he must br-shut up herein the sitting room as if he were acriminal, while people thronged his
house at will And indignant thatanything as joyous as a rose shouldbe forced into unwilling contact
with what could be at worst only a
colossal blunder —He stirred the logs in the fire
place. When they blazed he satdown on a deep sofa and held out ahand to Valerie. She rose obediently
and sat beside him,, and he put acasual arm around her - He lookedat her almost as if he had never
seen het before, hardly realizingthat in reality he never had. Peoplewho lived with Ellen were barred
from any real knowledge of eachother, since her necessity had beeninterpretation
From below rose the sound ofsinging. Mark had no idea who thesinger was Her voice was smooth
and bland, tuned to consolation Hewanted to get up and shut the sitting-room door, but Ellen’s sisterDorothy, who had taken charge of
him and hii grief, had left it openso tl at he and Valerie could hear
the serviceInstead, he talked softly and incessantly to Valene. About the rose
garden, and the spring that was al
most on them About anything hecould think of connected with fife
and joy. until Valerie’s tense youngslimness relaxed against him. andher eyes like pools in her small
white face lost some of their daze“Dorothy said you would prob
ably sell Wide Acres now.” she told
him. Mark started
“Sell Wide Acres?” The idea was
purelv fantastic.Valeric smiled a little. "She said
you wouldh’t want an enormoushouse- all alone.” • •
But I'm not alone while there's
Besides. I built it when there

make room for me. She said nobody could expect you to—to keepme—now—"‘ Let1* get ms some more fire,"
said Mark. He leaned forward,bringing her with him, and hid a
log on th« flames. He had entirely
forgotten for the moment what wasgoing on below. "My darling child,
you re not * piece of furniture I hadsent home on approval You see,the law gave yeu to me. Dorothy
can't take you away—unless, of
course, you want to go”He was astonished that the
thought of her leaving filled him
with sudden fear.Vateri. turned suddenly and
ehsped her thin young arms as hrwound him as they would go. Ashe had an ingrained distrust of too
As a matter of fact, further rites
for Ellen proceeded without eitherof them, for after he had issued this
command, he suddenly folded up on
the rug before the fire in the firstfaint of his life. He dimly remem
bered that Paul said something
about “shock," and that Valerieflung herself beside him stammering
words that sounded like "no food—
or sleep—"After that he knew very little
about anything until he woke in a
flood of sunlight in his own roomthe following morning
Sitting with Valerie over a late
breakfast tarfound himself makingplana“Isn’t n ■ ttmg?" asked Valerie
over thr 1 tall glass of milk.“Wha.“Jusi nere like this—to
gether. N< t-ssons for me and nooffice lor you.” She had apparentlyforgotten for the moment the reason
for all this. Let her forget thoughtMark. He had no intention of turning the place into a house of mourn
ing.“Don't you like your school?” heasked
She hesitated for a long moment,facing him with a sort of shy speculation. “Not—very much."
"Why not?”"Of course, everybody is verynice," she hurried to tell him. "But
you see-— Nobody seems to care.I mean, you feel like a machine—"
Mark nodded, watching her. Her
small face gave him the curious impression of almost visible thought
"Maybe you’d like to change?”
he suggested. “Me, I’m not so crazyabout this school thing rfiyway.""Of course mother is—was—al
ways right, and she said the machine part didn't matter. She said
it was the very best school And
that we ought to be thankful—"Mark finished his coffee before
■he answered "I don’t say she
wasn't right But look at it this
way: we have to stick together.
Who’s going to see that I stay
home nights, if you are off up thestate being educated? So just say
I’m. a selfish guy, and we’ll hunt usa learning factory somewhere intown. There must be one I mean
the kind you should go to. Or maybe you can stay al home and have a

thoughts, don’t you? I suppose—”“What?”“Wd couldn't really start this
morning—”“The reason we can’t go awaytoday," he told her, “is that we have
to hear your mother's will We haveto meet her lawyer here at three.Shall you mind?"
"Not if you are (here.”He looked out over Valerie’s headacross the lawns and gardens.
“Is mother—somewhere?" sheasked suddenly.“Yes,” said Mark flatly. He re
alized that he had been expectingthe question. That he was preparedto answer. “What they put away
was no more Ellen than her sable
coat. I mean, there wouldn’t be anyfun in creating just for the purpose
of extinction, would the’rc? I mean,
they haven’t hurt Ellen’s thought.She’s taken it along with her.
wherever she is. Really, she herthought I don’t want to muddTe
you—" •
“I see—just a little—" saidValerie. Mark wondered if he onlyimagined that the nervous tensity
that always gripped her was giving way. "I feel much better aboutit I only thought—it was such a
sad time—to go away—just wheneverything; is starting to bloom—ifthat was all there is to it"
“I’m quite sure it isn’t If it were,things wouldn't make sense. Everything has to make sense, doesn't
it?"
“Most times." she stood quietly*beside him -for a long time.
He had thought of her during thefive years he had been married toEllen as a small shadow in a state
of perpetual acquiescence. With theglitter of Ellen gone, he was begin
ning to see Valerie.
Ellen had fascinated him at firsthy the very qualities that afterward
proved disastrous: unearthly loveliness combined with an almostludicrous efficiency, and a voracious
capacity for absorbing people. Withthe spell of her beauty on him. fircould forget her capabilities, or he
could escape in work. And now shebad suddenly- apd permanently lefthim. And already he was dwelling
on her imperfections.

AS A WOMAN SEES IT
— By Arabella —
A UNION OR AN EMPIRE?
Dorothy Thompson, the American
writer, whose comments are. widely
read- in Canada, recently made what
appeared, on the surface, to be an
unsympathetic remark, about the
British ^Empire, when she said that
she would not raise her hand to save
the British .Empire. Those were
strong words to use at a time when
we are apt to be touchy about such
thirfgs, and coming from one who is
, said to be-^ne of Britain’s staunchest
friends, it was decidedly upsetting
Unfortunately it lost readers for her.
Subsequent articles in Miss Thomp
son’s syndicated series clarified her
statements, and showed her admir
ation for Britain to be as strong as
ever,',
She does, however, seein to feel
rather hopeless about Europe with its
eontinukl bickerings and strife. She
would like to see'Britain cut' loose
from it all, joining with the Western
World to form ,an English- speaking
Union. Language, in her opinion, is
the strongest bond between men—
that to say of a person, they speak
our language, is to describe the
closest attachment.
Such an idea, at first sight, appears
more or less attractive, because of
its apparent simplicity and the ease
which it offers. But we wonder
whether deeds as well as words may
not be used to express ideals. Every
one experiences feelings too deep for
words. It has been said, “how can
they know England, who only Eng
land know? To fully know and un
derstand her one must look about the
world far and wide; they must peer
into mysterious corners bearing in
triguing names, upon some of the
fairest parts of this earth. There
they will find those who follow the
Democratic way of life, as citizens of
the world,, turning to good account
resources which Nature has intended
for the use of all, leading those who
have not. as yet travelled so far
along the road of maturity, who are
eager for guidance, while steadily
gaining in stature and independence.
Who would say that is not a worth
while way of life?
Before us as wd wTite, lies a copy
of the London Times, containing a
picture of a group of women in Cey
lon engaged in making comforts for
Britain. It is an interesting group—a
significant one. Some are of the white
race, clad in European garments;
others of dark complexions, are in
the costume of the East. Perhaps
they understand not each others
speech. But their deeds spring from
a mutual ideal—a desire to be of
service in the family effort—-to ren
der gratitude for what British pro
tection has meant to them.
Working Harder—Saving More-
That'* our answer to Hitler’* challenge, and no,doubtit’* yours too. Work and rove. Save all you etn—
and buy War Saving* Certificates rune! They offeryou a prime investment: a real opportunity to serve
your country and, at the Mme- time, protect your
self against future contingencies.
Canada’s 3300,000 small saving! account holder*,
each with less than $1,000 in the bank, together account for over 90% of all roving* deposit*. It ia
they who must make the War Saving* Campaign sac
cess! uL
This Company and it* 10,70* worker* are doing
. their bit. A salary deduction plan ia in effect It*f objective of 100% employe# participation, and 5%of ou* total payroll, is well on the way to being
achieved. All our worker* arenow active in selling War (?>»
Saving* Stamps. Every one ofour office* in Quebec and Onto-
rio is selling War Saving*
Stamp*. Now is the time forall of us to show wbat Canada
means id us. Af
groups are to be found the world
over.
In the same issue are pictures of
mobile canteens sent to England
from some of the colonies. Those
canteens, thirty-eight in number, on
which are inscribed the names of
their donors, St. Helena , Jamaica,
Malta, Nigeria, Barbados, Fiji,
Zanzibar, Kenya, Granada, Maure-
tius, Uganda and Ceylon carry food
to bombed areas, leaving good-will
where Hun ill-will ha* left destruct
ion. In addition Britain's colonies

000,060 for various war’ purposes.

that? Could we desert these faithful
people to be exploited by the hoards

By it s very nature, Life Insurance is an active,continuing force—a living force in the homes
of millions who share its benefits.
Last year Metropolitan visited many homes in
times of family crisis, for a total of over $182,000,000
was paid on account of death claims to scores of
thousands of beneficiaries of Metropolitan* policy-
holders. Dividends, matured endowments, annuity
payments, disability, and health and accident claims,
and other benefits paid or credited io living policy-holders during the year amounted* to more than
$426,000,000. The total of almost $609,000,000 forpayments to policyholders and beneficiaries is a record
high fot the Company.
Metropolitan funds, invested for the benefit of its
policyholders, continued to play a part in the life of
the nation. These funds aided in financing Govern
ment activities, helped to keep industry humming and
men in jobs and the nation strong and productive —
helped to erect public and private buildings, and assisted
farmers to own their farms and keep them in proper
repair. However, the low interest rates generally prevail
ing, continued to have their effect on the Company’s
earnings and consequently on dividends to policyholders.
Moreover, through its Welfare activities, its nursing
service for eligible policyholders, its research, its health
and safety literature and advertising, Metropolitan
again contributed to the task of bringing better health
to the people of Canada and the United States. The
death rate of Metropolitan policyholders as a whole
continued to be low, and mortality among Industrial
policyholders was approximately the same as the 1939
figure, a record low for this group.
Metropolitan is a mutual life insurance company.
This means that the assets of the Company are held
for policyholders and their beneficiaries. The value
of these assets will ultimately be paid out for their
benefit... and for them only.
