Every day, in every branch of every bank in Canada, cheques are being scrutinized,, stamped and recorded. During the war years, this daily flow of cheques through your bank has swollen to a torrent. Deposit accounts are more numerous and active than ever before. This increase re- flects the tremendous activity of Canadian life and business. Production, purchases and payrolls have all reached record levels. In addition, three-quarters of a million men and women in the armed services must get their pay, and their dependents receive allowances regularly. The handling of this wartime volume of cheques is quite apart from numerous special services which the banks have undertaken—the delivery of millions of Victory Bonds and the sale of countless War Savings Certificates; ration coupon banking; subsidy payments to producers; foreiin exchange operations. Yet all this extra work has been carried out at a time 'when new help has had to be trained to take the place of more than 0 8,500 bank -workers now in uniform. This Advirit oaf is Sponsored hy your Book His Red Cross Mother FIGHTING through the mud and icy slush of flooded battlefields, our boys in the front line have learned to bless the tens of thousands of devoted women who labor as volunteer workers for the Red Cross. Through five years of war, "these Canadian "Blue Smock" workers have knitted hundreds of thousands of pairs of socks .. made mil- lions of other comforting articles cif clothing -packed millions of Red Cross food parcels. Other specially-trained-volunteer women serve as drivers, as nursing aides, as office workers and dietitians. Freely giving their time and labor, these hard-working volunteers make your Red Cross dollars stretch farther. Thanks to their efforts, each dollar you give is multiplied three time in the value of food, clothing and medical supplies it buys. GIVE-and give generously, to support their selfless work. Let your contribution to the Canadian Red Cross be the token of your thanks to these devoted women who serve in very truth, as '`another mother" to your boy, or your friend or neighbor in the fighting line.

When the Huns had control in Belgium the black market was about the only method that the people had of acquiring sufficient food to keep them in a healthy state, Those who could not afford to pur- chase in this.expensiVe way were forc- ed to steal or colaborate to insure the keeping of body and soul togther. The black market .was a very profitable business and now that the Hun has been driven out the operators of these markets are making efforts to continue their evil ways. What was a god-send for the people during Hun occupation is now the direct opposite. Inflation process of the black markets has a very adverse effect on the normal life of the people and all should shun procuring anything- in this manner. * * * * If April showers bring May flowers what do March thunder storms bring. * * * Giveto the Red Cross.
