Em- Hematin? of Easter the sacred feast day that cele­ brates life’s triumph over death. Its very per­ fume radiates the house of mourning to remind us there is no death, And yet we are in the midst of the greatest human slaughter-house the world has ever witnessed* We read of not a few but thousands every day being killed and of as many more being maimed and injured for life and because they are our enemies we rejoice. Easter for another year is behind us but what of the future, the near future at that, when the day of invasion comes—-the beginning of the end of war we hope. The lily. When hearts are sore may the lily remind us that there is hope beyond the, grave; that mortal man is still laying down Ins life to make a better world for those who follow after. THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1944 * * * * Working Under Strain Within a period of seven days there were eight deaths in this community, This solemn fact impresses us of the tremendous strain un­ der which the members of the medical profes­ sion are laboring to alleviate the suffering and preserve life in the community they serve. There is no such thing as a 48-hour week for the men who have the responsibility of caring for the health, of a community* With the number of doc­ tors who have entered the armed forces a bur­ den of responsibility now rests upon the shoul­ ders of a few and judging from the calls now being placed upon the shoulders of the local doctors that burden at times almost reaches the limit of physical endurance. Not 48 hours in a week but at times almost 48 hours at a stretch has been the burden placed upon these men. The public can render some assistance by mak­ ing such calls as seem only to be absolutely necessary and if possible to make these calls in the daytime. Under the present circumstances any contcmpated legislation that will increase the demand upon an already burdened profes­ sion would have the opposite effect for which it was intended because the strain is already at the breaking point. ♦ * * * The Coming Invasion There is no secret about the coming inva­ sion of Europe. It is no secret that the invasion will be in the not distant future. But the exact date and place where the invasion will strike is known to only a few. Dieppe may have been a dress rehearsal and Cassino and the beachheads preliminaries from which the Allies have gained much useful information but the fact remains that in all cases the enemy has proven a stub­ born foe. But there is one sure thing these battles have taught and that is that nothing is sure. However, we can be assured that in so fa. as the Allies can be sure they have and are making the preparations to assure a final vic­ tory. Judging from the position of the Allies to­ day as compared with the position they were in a year ago they have come a long way and the next move is enemy territory. A War Bonds in Wai* Bonds” said a young man the other day. “How is the govern­ ment going to pay back the money?” he asked. ‘‘There’s what I’ve saved from a good fat pay check/ and I’m going to hang on to it while I have it” he said. “Can you read wliat is on that bill?” we asked. “That twenty dollar bill is made of a particular kind of paper with printing on it. On. it/ it says the Bank of Canada will pay bhe bearer twenty dollars. A bond is another kind of paper that says the Bank of Canada will pay the bearer whatever denomination the bond happens to be. The dollars you carry in your pocket are no safer than the bond you your possession. Buying a bond to help your country is loaning^ your money at .to protect the things that you possess. 4Tm not investing have in protect interest A A Public Service When McLean’s Magazine in its issue of •February 15. published an article., “V.D., No. 1 Saboteur/’ it was not with the idea of providing some spicy reading but was a bold attempt to render a service to Canada and Canadians. That in some measure it has had. good results is evidenced by reports emulating from some of the larger centres that at least some action is being taken to wipe out these cesspools of ini­ quity* Along with the increase in the use of al­ coholic beverages there is an increased lowering of moral standards and likewise an increase in social diseases. With the question of V,D. now being brought out more and. more into the open public sentiment is being aroused to a greater extent than ever before and when sufficiently aroused us to bear pressure upon those ixx auth­ ority action will no doubt follow. But the pub­ lic also have a duty to perform in exposing where possible the source of this iniquity* When a middle-aged maxi was accosted in London the other day by a rather attractive woman and in­ informed that she had a i?oom in the hotel that information might well have been turned over to the police. The situation as revealed by McLean’s is too serious to be trifled with* Me.* Lean’s substantiated the claim that the press .stands for the enlightenment and. betterment of the people it serves* i Note and Comment There might be such a thing that the few War Bonds we purchase now may be the shock absorbers we will need in the readjustment per­ iod. At any rate, judging from the radio spon­ sors, there are going to be a lot of things we will want to have, after the war is over. * * * * Seed catalogue display the wonderful re­ sults to be reaped from seeds sown in the spring, but it is beyond human ken to picture the results now being reaped from Hitler’s seed sowing in Europe. * The cutting off of communications with Ireland; the determined effort to cripple for good Germany’s proud battleship the Tirpitz, are signs that the preliminaries are now being staged and that the main bout will follow. Cana­ dians are being groomed to show the way. What flther Editors Say Stay in School (Listowel Banner) The boys and girls of Canada and Allied nations are the hope of the world. These young people have every advantage that civilization can offer to prepare them for the future—and there is a big future ahead for these young men and women, if they are educationally prepared. It will take thinkers and doers to fill the places of leadership in the postwar world/ for children are running wild over many parts of the war- torn countries today. Every normal child in Canada starts school when about five or six years of age, We take this as a matter of course. Children are not al­ lowed to grow up without an education/ simply because they may not want to go to school. A very young child would much rather stay at home and play, than go to school. Our education system provides for’ a cer­ tain number of years in public school/ followed by high school. Generally speaking this educa­ tion is free. Today a great temptation is facing young people to leave school and take a paying job in industry. Even some parents are being tempted to misrepresent the ages of boys and girls in order to have them earning money. Mon­ ty cannot buy happiness. Money earned at high school age can never take the place of a high school education. Life is more interesting, fuller/ richer when you have an education. A good education pre­ pares the way’for you to earn a living if neces­ sary. It gives you a good background for. getting the best out of any walk of life. ■»** «■ Shovels Across The Sea (Penticton Herald) KX£TB ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 13, DOMINION OF CANADA —DEPARTMENT OF NATIONAL REVENUE INCOME TAX DIVISION COLIN GIBSON Miniitor of National Revenue GET YOUR "T.4 SUP" FROM YOUR EMPLOYER To get a record of your 1943 earnings and tax deductions, ask your employer for a copy of the "T.4 Slip" he filed with the Govern­ ment. Do this. It will save you time, and help prevent errors. C. FRASER ELLIOTT Deputy Minuter of National Revenue for Taxation Sometimes by scraping about in the small stuff of day-to-day news., we find an apparently small happening that shines out beside the glar­ ing headlines of other more ouwardly significant events. We came across one such item the other day. Boston newspapers recently reported a snow blockade in that city’s terminal. Something of an emergency had arisen. A number of British ships were in port. One of the railway companies was offered/ and ac­ cepted. the services of one hundred British sail­ ors to shovel snow. At a time when all over the United States workers in many industries were lust emerging from or about to threaten strikes of various colors/ those malcontents might well have turned their attention to the lads from anothei* land-— lads who make very slender money/ who brave dangers and hardship/ who might be expected/ more than all others/ to amuse themselves in port before making what could be another and their last trip. The answer is a simple one. Those same navy boys were men of a different experience. They had been close to the grim realities of what affects their homes overseas, They knew that what ’counts most these days is setting to work. We can rest assured that United States railway company never had better*snow shovel work done foi* it. WHO MUST FILE RETURNS?
