Interior Decorating
Many homes in the post-war

advice of a. well-informed, and cap
able artist of London—Mrs. Cryder
man, who visited this station last
I Her pleasant discussion of color. ' vibrancy of surroundings, and their
effect on the happiness of the in
dividual, was appreciated by the
personnel of Number Nine who at
tended the discussion.
The W.D.’s, who, no doubt, will
be ^decorating their own surround
ings in the not-too-distant future,
learned that a happy home can be
both pretty and practical with the
use of ordinary materials. Questions
concerning the type of floor and
lighting of kitchens were asked by
the men interested in the construc
tion of better homes, and they were
given professional advice, tempered
with sincere interest, which, we
know, added to the faith and -hope
of better homes for a better world.
Our sincere appreciation goes
out to Mrs. Cryderman for this in
teresting and timely address.
“Why has Helen broken off her
engagement to her R.A.F. friend?”
“She found his plans for marriage
were all in the air.”

Our men on the fighting fronts have weary, trying
days ahead of them. We, on the home front, must
not waver nor falter. Our duty is clear, we must
keep faith with our fighters. On Canadian farms we
must maintain our efforts to produce the foods our
fighters and our allies need. That work will
reward us with increased incomes.
And we must sate... to have money to lend to our
country to pay the increased costs that this war
continues to pile up.
Money invested in Victory Bonds will help to buy
the tools of war. They don’t last long in action.
They must be replaced. It’s our job . .. the home
front job ... to see to it that our fighting men have
everything they need.
Victory Bonds yield a double harvest. They pro
vide our country with money to carry on the war.
Later, they will provide money to buy things we
will want and need, and which we have done
without during the war. Victory Bonds will pro
