RUSSIA NEEDS THE HELP , WE OWF
• The Canadian Aid. to Russia' Fund is ap-
pealing to people in 'Ontario to .share towels,
sheets, . blankets or quilts with the •sufferi'ng "
people • of,, devastated Russia. Such gifts
be shipped to the Soviet Union at .once, so, that
their hospitals, ..orphanages ' and families ,• will
have them before winter.
Eachdonor will -get in exchange for these
articles, if they •:are in acceptable condition,
tickets' for a draw for forty prizesranging in
'Value from a $50 war bond to a $5,000 mink
coat, made to order.
• But if such an inducement be necessary
It ' is of little credit to us who 'owe ' so much
to this heroic ally. The needsof the Russians •
reed hardly be emphasized..Canagans recog-
nize this and have -responded to previous ap-
peals. Doubtless : they will do . so again. But
• immediate 'action is iinportant. Make your
donations. , today.
For almost three years • Russian children
have suffered hunger and misery. They have
seen their parents killed and tortured by the .'
Hun. Countless numbers of young people have
•been used as slaves,by the Nazis. But they have
born every' hardship and fought on for the day
of liberation. But when it does come their:

IS IT NECESSARY?
Until such time as full details are avail-
able one should hesitate to be top critical of
the Dominion Government's family ,allowance
plan. On the face of it, however, we are not
yet satisfied that it willsatisfactorily aecoin-
plish its apparent objective --the improving of
the standard of living of Canadian ;families in
the lower income brackets. Such •a dole system'
appeals to us as h *ing many shortcomings...
What. more should be needed in this coun-
-try than the opportunity to 'work at a living
wage, and the requirement 'that we do so- if
physically able; measurets that will protect
the breadwinner from the spectreof unernploy-
ment; that will assure adequate medical care
for- hisamil
f y, and that will provide the;.op-
porturiities and :the obligations • of obtaining a
proper education.
4 little arribition and initiative on the part
of the individual should do the rest in getting
along in this world and spare us from becoming
Complete puppets of • the state. �-
Eleven thousand tons of waste 'paper
monthly is what- the people " of Ontario are
required to salvage if paper .mills are • to • main-
tain the production of .carton containers so: vit-
ally needed for the delivery of supplies to the
combat areas. The shortage of : pulp makes the
'industry dependent : aliriost, solely on waste

records and files and corrugated' paper. Don't
waste a scrap of it. Save. it for the next waste
paper collection, Or deliver it to your nearest

Sick children -in Russia's hospitals have co
no bedding. Sick, emaciated aged_ _people in an
Russia have no bedding. Russian women are
working till they . drop from fatigue in war
plants and on . the farms,' and manyhave no
beds with sheets 'or blankets 'to sleep on.
That's how much.. the Russians are sacri-
ficing for this, war. Mrs., Churchill has 'said we
must help them in a spirit of thankfulness,
because . we owe .them a debt we can never
repay.,
Many Canadians will want to share some
of the things .theyhave, with .the., suffering
Russian, people who have lost everything in
this war. Here is a chance to do it.

Senator Bouchard reiterates his statements re-
garding the secret Order of . Jacques Cartier,
Which- leaves little doubt in theminds of many
that he knows whereof he speaks. Mr. Bouch-
and defends -his actions as being in the best
interests of a united Canada. 'Re .said ,"I v,ac_
that it was my duty to take the
chance .I took, while there 'was still time to
prevent .a national' catastrophe''. To many it
. appears that the widening breach between
.French-speaking Quebec` and the rest of Can-
ada will sooner or later result In a "national
catastrophe".

by -those within our borders who are prone
to criticize. Canadians . should strive to know
their country better, to be proud of the dis-
tinction she enjoys and boastof her accomplish

In the days of Napoleon, at the Battle of Water-
loo in 1815, the British fired 37 tons of ammunl

the battle of the Moro; River in the Italian
campaign, our 25 -pounder batteries pumped
250,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 3,000

power in Nori iandy these'. days may yet make
that figure look like a country fair fireworks
display.
