They buy only for their im- mediate needs. They cheerfully adjust their standard of living,- realizing that their country's needs must come first. They , do not try to gain unfair' ad- vantages over their neighbours. Are you a hoarder or a loyal citizen? Are you hampering Canada's war effort by necessary buying? Or are you co-operating to the best of your ability to save Canada front such horrors as Hong Kong? If Canadians do their duty, there will be no more hoarding. Everyone will get a fair share of the goods available. More food eon be sent to Great Britain. More raw materials — more manpower — will be available for making guns, tanks, planes. and other armaments to back up our armed forces.

AIDS TROOPS • ON A WORLD FRONT A noble cause does not always in- sure victory for an army. France fell because it's army's morale had been destroyed, For that reason, the Y. M.C.A, has specialized in morale-build- ing activities in its service to the young men fighting to save democ- racy. The lack of supplies of all kinds in China has called upon the Chinese V, M.C.A.'s for a multitude of services to the troops moving to the front, fight- ing on the battle fields, and returning wounded to hospitals. Seventeeett days after war broke out in China in July 1937; the Y.M.C.A, Emergency Service to Soldiers was in operation With a handful of men, Today this Tittle group of workers has become 400 operating in some 50 units and serv- ing 6,000,000 Chinese troops, These war service units comprise trained nurses, first aid workers, en- tertainers and teachers.
