The Lily
Tall and stately it stands, a gem among the
flowers. Colorless-/ yet the purest of white. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
