WEAR A POPPY
Remembrance Day is Tuesday next
week, November 11th, and one can
not think of that day without connect
ing it with the wearing of poppies.
Each year at the time of this event,
the Legions hold a sale of poppies
and the money obtained from this sale
is used for War Veterans. Despite the
fact that many years have passed
since the armistice was signed the
drain on the Poppy Fund here is
always great. The Legion does not go
about telling what this fund is use.d
for as it is kept in a separate account
and is used only for War Veterans
that require assistance and would
otherwise miss this benefit. The pop
pies are made in the Vetcraft shops
and this activity gives employment to
many who are in such shape from
war service that they would not be
able to otherwise make a living and
would become a charge on society. Is
it not much better to have these old
soldiers gainfully employed? The
wearing of the poppy is also a recog-
nition of the supreme sacrifice made
by those who lie in Elander’s Fields.
Today we are engaged in another
struggle against the same enemy. Our
young men are flocking to the colors
and the Legion is making it their
business to see that they are given
the benefit of the experience gained
by this soldier society. The old guard
know that if such an organization had
been ready for their use when the last
struggle was over it would have been
a great comfort. People in this com
munity have always supported Poppy
Day very well indeed. Today the need
is as great as ever, so once again
your kindly assistance is solicited.

WILL HELP
The Ottawa
inaugurated a
in-
for
the sale of War Savings Certificates.
Apart from the patriotic part of the
plan, the buying of these Certificates
is good bifeiness. And, we believe, it
is better business for the smaller hold
ers than for those who can afford to
take them in quantities. The sale of
War Savings Certificates enables all
of us to get into the war—and what
Canadian is there who dosen’t want
to do his bit? Many of us, unable
to purchase the War Bonds in the
larger amounts, can very well afford
to buy Certificates. The investment
will not seriously inconvenience us,
and it is surprising how quickly they
amount up. They will be a nice nest-
egg when they come due, and wilbtide
us over the days following the, war
when jobs are scarce and money
tightens up. They are a good invest
ment and have the whole of the Dom
inion of Canada behind them. There
are some who predict great prosperity
for Canada after the war. Perhaps.
There may be eventual prosperity, but
don’t let anyone fool you into believ
ing that there will not be hard times
for a period after hostilities are over.
You cannot upset the world as is being
done today and expect to return 'to
peace without getting hurt. There will
be dark and dreary days after this
conflict is over, and the person, es
pecially among the so-called ordinary
people, who has the good sence to lay
by a few War Savings Certificates for
this rainy day, will be indeed thankful.
Buy War Savings Certificates, and
buy all you can afford, not necessarily
as an investment, but as your protec
tion when times are not so good as
they are.today.
