On Monday next all across this Do-
minion. Victory Loan salesmen will go
forth znerchandizing Canada's most
important commodity, Seventh Victory
Loan Bonds. One often wonders why
it is necessary to' have this great staff
of salesmen but when one gives proper
thought to the matter the conclusion
can only be that these stout fellows,
or ladies, are carrying on a service
second to those who fight for us or
those who make the munitions of war
for our lads at the front. The follow-
ing poem is from the current issue of
the Blue Bell, the Bell Telephone
magazine, It was written by ICay
Terrell of the central district plant of
the Company at Toronto.
Our boys are fighting our battles
On land, on the seas, in the air.
We ask that they come back to us
soon:
"God keep them safe", is our prayer.
Can we ever repay their bravery—

The loss of limbs,. maybe of sight?
They fight for their way of living,
For they know that their way is right.
By buying bonds we can help them
And hasten the end of the strife;
We're only asked to lend dollars and
cents, •
They're not much—compared to life!
For this is war to the death, men,
No one stops it by waving a wand;
They're giving their youth and their
lives for us,
It isn't much to just buy a bond.

ONE'HISTORY BOOK
FOR CANADA
A committee appointed for the
study of Canadian history has recom-
mended the adoptir'i of a single his-
tory textbook for Canada. The chair-
man of this committee, Abbe Arthur
Maheux, said that it was not essential,
but would be extremely useful to
national unity, Canada has a back-
ground which can be told to the
people of all provinces in a way to
bring the factions which now do not
appear to understand one another, to
a much closer and happy relationship.
There, is no reason that we in this
country cannot live together in a more
understanding way. We can talk all
we like about unity but there is a great
cleavage betWeen certain races and
groups. If we are to be a successful
country that can take a proper place
in the affairs of the world we must
have a complete understanding at
home. If a historY textbook for all
would assist in this objective then an
effort, to have it in use soon should
be made without delay.

It is said that the Germans have as
many planes as when they started the

campaign is now in full swing here.
The people of this community have al-

International aviation is the concern
of all countries just now and two very
important conferences will be held
shortly to discuss this matter. Can-
