OUR CANADIAN BOYS are PUSHING AHEAD' WE MUST NOT FALL BACK BUY BONDS AND SPEED THE VICTORY TAKE HEED TO AN URGENT NEED (By Marjorie Foster) An urgent need is now at hand, To help the boys in the air, on sea and on land; Let us lend a helping hand, To help the good old allies stand,.

By a bond it may help your brother; He may be in need of a tank or guns, Or it may even be some poor Mother's son.

And buy a bond, won't you try? Give all you can and then some more, And hope and pray for victories galore. God bless the men who have given their lives, And may millions be helped by these-, victory bond drives; May it give them tine guns and things, they need, And bless the boys for their mighty• deed. There are never words too greatly spoken, To •show the boys and girls out' token, Of love and thanks for the things the,,A• have done, For their country and loved ones..
