I have Although rnpre p,nd more Can­ adians are becoming regular inves­ tors in War Savings Certificates, and although large numbers are in­ creasing the size of their monthly War Savings investments as a re­ sult of the current war weapons campaign, there is an astonishing total of people who are failing to grab their share of just about the best investment Canadians are of­ fered in these unsettled days! There^are even a few people here and into the belief that money which goes ‘ ‘ may how or other they fail to grasp the obvious fact that the whole of Can­ ada’s immense resources stand be­ hind every certificate; that the certificate has first call on those resources; that the only threat against the cashing of War Savings Certificates is the possibility of Hitler taking over the country. It is a pity too that most of the victims of traitors’ propaganda are wage-earners who never before had the opportunity to “get in on” a there who have been duped into War Savings Certificates never be paid back, Some- her appetite was gone. And an­ other family from Unoccupied France ate nothing but potatoes for their first few meals. There is even a stately English woman who crawled out under barbed wire en­ tanglements to get to Portugal and so on this ship. In such a crowd as this, eleven Canadian editors may seem rather i good investment. As a rule in years' gone by, ‘good money investments could only be made by citizens with some reserve capital. Never before , has it been so easy for everybody to buy gilt-edged security out of his weekly income, The smart business people of Canada of course are buying War Savings Certificates. The same in­ sight and foresight which has en­ abled them to become a little better off than the average taxpayer prompts them to buy.all. the War Savings Certificates the govern­ ment will allow them to buy. They know the interest rate is much higher than it might be; consider­ ing the tremendous security behind them,- and they know the certificates are tax free. That is the reason why the government will not permit an individual to buy more than $480 every year. It would seem that the misin* formed citizen who believes that the purchase of War Savings Cer­ tificates is a duty, or constitutes a sacrifice, is missing the boat. If all Canadians were as smart as the well-to-do persons who purchase the limit each month, there would be no need for canvassers to cir­ culate among the people. Instead, there would he queues of purchasers lined up in front of War Savings Certificates’ offices.---------y--------- Weight for weight, bread con­ tains three times as much starch as potatoes. DR.

He loves I boats and all things connected with them, and he jumped at the chance to come by ship. All the rest of us would have preferred to travel by air. Four days before we left Lisbon, the papers of that city were all. ex-| cited because a Portugese ship had been sunk by the Germans, appar­ ently because of tungsten ore 'on board, destined tor the United States. Two days later, they were mourning the deaths of two British families from Portugal, returning to England until their ship was tor­ pedoed off the -coast. On the way to Lisbon, this same steamship Excambion was met by a German bombing plane which circled around it, mast-high, and then flew away again. On the day we ©ailed from Lisbon, news came that mans had torpedoed the destroyer Kearney. Two an American freight boat in the Atlantic, straight where we were. This very morn­ ing, when We awoke, it was to see another ship coming closer. As it drew near, we could see that it was not the merchant vessel it pre­ tended to be, but had businesslike guns fore and aft, It had no flag, nor ghve any signal, but crossed our bows and went on. Wd all realized '’these dangers, but as the days pass­ ed and o,ur boat continued on its way, the tension relaxed.
