Slogan of This Campaign Is
" '• Freely - Give Now”
During the Great War it
have been of great .benefit to

iety or organization such as the new

educational and,personal Services to
. the men in the Canadian Active ?Ser-
i vice Force; ' v .
During the last war there\vas little
or no opportunity for the men to bet
ter themselves along educational lines.
The men did not have at that' time a
system whereby personal difficulties
could be looked after, When the war
was over Inany wandered aimlessly
for some time bec&use th^'re was no
One handy, to advise them. „
J Such a: condition as this will not be
present during this ’ war as the Gov
ernment’ have given approval to the
Canadian Degion War Services who,
with the experience of soldiers’ in the
. Great War; will be able to help the
soldier comrades of todays
Y/e say such a condition will not
