The Parliament of Canada meets on January 21st. The'most momentous session in Canadian history begins in a. f?w short
days. It is your Parliament. The members are the servants of th<e people, not pf any patty. They represent every one in the
constituency which elected them. Each one of them needs your help as never before. Assert your democratic right to govern.
Tell your member what you think should be done and do so without delay. <
There is one issue which overshadows all others. The Prime Minister of Canada has told us what that issue is. Theseiare
his own words: “There is only one way to meet total war, and that is by total effort.”—“We must maintain the Canadian army at
full fighting strength.” The Leader of British democracy told the people of Canada what total effort means. These were Winston
Churchill’s words: “In this strange, terrible world war there is a place for every one, man and woman, old and young, hale and
halt. Service irk a thousand forms is open. There is no room for the dilettante, for the weakling, for the shirker or the sluggard.
The mine, the factory, the dockyard, the salt sea waves, the fields to till, the home, the hospital, the chair of the scientist, the
pulpit of the preacher—from the highest to the humblest, the tasks are all of equal honor. All have their part to play.”

To fulfil that description of total effort is the first and foremost duty of the Parliament of Canada. The people of Canada
must be told what part they are to play. They cannot guess. Every man and woman, strong or weak, old or young, must be
guided by the Government to the post where they can contribute most to victory. We are ‘ conscious of the substantial efforts
made throughout the war by the Canadian Government. We are anxious to assist them in making the vital decisions forced upon
them by the events of the past few weeks, We, do not believe that the people of Canada consider that their Government or its
leader are in any way bound by undertakings, given before the United States entered the war. This is no time for a referendum.
The responsibility rests squarely on Parliament. The war will not wait.

LETTER BOX
Queen Alexandra, Sanatorium
Stamp Club,
London, Ont*
Majh St. Sunday School,
Exeter, Ont.
We were very glad to receive the
large box of stamps you sept to
us two weeks ago, by Rev, Linden
Harvey. We have delayed reply
ing to your letter and gift sq that
we could bring you. a report of our
club activities as presented in the
secretary’s annual statement at our
meeting yesterday.
In the autump of 1940 we held
a stamp exhibition at which Can*"
adian and British Empire stamps
were featured. One of the doctors
loaned a "penny black”, the first
postage stamp used in, the ^world,
issued in 1840 in England, Be
cause the name of the country was
not necessary on the stamps of
that day, England is one country
today which carries no identifying
name on her stamps.
In March our club organized a
War Savings, campaign which net
ted $2QJLO'O for the cause, .In Ap
ril we were able to distribute 6,000
stamps to opr 24 members (350. to
each, All .these had been donated
by, thirty-four friends of the club,
some of whom sent several lots dur
ing the year. The, stamps are sort
ed when received. Those suitable
for club- members we set aside for
later distribution, the others are
turned over to the Red Cross. Dur- -
ing the year we have arranged for
an exchange of stamps between
members of our club and a stamp
club
New

idea
and
There is only one way to meet total war—by total effort'—'that is to mobilize all our manpower and material resources under
a plan, of universal compulsory selective service. Those who can serve best on the farms must work on the farms. Those who
can serve best in the factories must work in the factories. And those best 'fitted to serve in the armed forces must be trained,,
equipped, and available for service in Canada or overseas anywhere at any time. That is the only way that our farms, our factories
and our armed forces can wage total war. No half measures are consistent with national honor.

If you agree with that opinion then it is your duty to tell your member NOW that you want him to insist upon the im
mediate adoption of such a plan. Tell him that you wanLthe business of government brought into Parliament where it belongs.
Tell him to inform Parliament, and through Parliament the whole of Canada, that the people of his riding advocate and will sup
port any measures, however drastic, which will assure the last ounce of effort of which they are capable. To Canada’s Parliament,
which meets in a few short days, Mr. Winston Churchill said this: "The enemy has asked for total war. Let us be sure that he gets
it.” Tell your member in the short time which still remains that you want to be sure that we do wage total war and that you
want him to say so in your behalf on the floor of Parliament. _

There is an added reason why you must act immediately if you believe that democracy is government by the people. Last
week, President Roosevelt told one hundred and thirty million people of the United States where their armed forces are going to
fight in this war. “As our power and resources are fully mobilized, we shall carry the attack against the enemy—we shall hit
him and hit him again, wherever and whenever we can reach him.” We are partners with the United States in this struggle. .We
signed a pact binding us to a common effort. National honor ahd the safety of our people demand that every man who wears the
uniform of Canada be ready at all times to go overseas to hit the enemy wherever and whenever he can be reached. What a
shameful travesty of justice it would be if we approved of unity of military command and failed to establish unity of sacrifice be
tween nations. Canada’s honor is at stake.

The Committee for Total War urges you to act without delay. Send your member a telegram, a letter or a”
postcard at once. This is your most important task. Your member represents you no matter what your party may
be. He is your voice in Parliament. When you put down this newspaper, act at once. If you agree with the opiniop
supported by this Committee, say so.

SPACE DOES
TOTAL WAR ■ffe'I
Flames that early Sunday morn
ing swept the main business build
ing at Holmesville, three miles west
of Clinton, forced the owner, Mrs.
Laura DeBeau, and her three child
ren, who were sleeping'Iif qirarters
above the store, to flee into zero,
weather dressed only in their night
attire.
The century-old frame * building,,
thfe largest structure in Holmes
ville, was burned to the ground with
^gn estimated loss of $7,0'00, par
tially covered by insurance. The;
one building housed a public gar-,
age,' living quarters,' ’ a general
store and the Goderich township
municipal hall.
The four members-of the DeBeau
family would likely have died in
the blaze, had it not been for the
family dog, which barked so fierce
ly from the ground floor that he-
awakened them in ‘time to escape/
With no time to dress, they were
•forced to leave after throwing
wrappers over their night apparel.
As far as is known, an automobile
that was housed in the garage was
the only thing saved.
As a result of tlfe fire burning
down a high tension hydro pole-
that ..carried 22,000 volts to Goder
ich from Niagara Falls, service
interrupted in Goderich for
hours. Holmesville is 10 miles
of Goderich,.
