They bought bonds for many reasons — to help the war
effort —to curb, inflation — to build post-war security —
but mainly they bought because, as patriotic Canadians,
they knew that the very least they could do to • help
was to save and invest ALL they could!
They have bought unstintingly and will continue to buy
' just as long as there is the need for their help . . . They
have always recognized and welcomed the call of duty.

A WORLD LOSS
The tragic passing at this time of
the late President Franklyn Roosevelt
cast a gloom over the entire world.
As president during these trying years
he not only discharged his duties to
his country well, but by his wonderful
personality he endeared himself to all
freedom loving peoples, As one of the
big three he had the confidence of not
only those of his own land, but of
those of the Allied nations as well.
Of Liin it can be truly said that he
was the champion of the ordinary man.
His insight into those small things
which are so vital to the well being of
folk of his country,• was never be-
clouded by the heavy burdens of
state. He gave his %life for the "Four
Freedoms", which with Churchill lie
planned, just as much as though lie
passed on the field of battle. The
people of all free nations will long
mourn the passing of this champion of
freedom and history will record him
not only: as 9ne of the greatest Ameri-
cans, if not the greatest, but as one of
the world's finest and best citizens.

OUR EIGHTH VICTORY LOAN
Next Monday, April 23rd, a vast
army of salesmen will commence their
task of selling to the people of Canada
$1,350,000,000 of Sth Victory 'Loan
Bonds. It has been noticeable when
our fortunes of war were in our favour
that the public had a let-down in their
efforts, even .the most optimistic,
thought possible. But these successes
are not a signal for any •let-down but
for greater effort on the home front
so that a complete victory will be the
more certain. The slogan for this
coming loan is "Invest in the Best"
and when you purchase Victory Bonds
you do just that.

FARM HELP NEEDED BADLY
During these war years the farmers
of Canada have increased production
despite shortage of labour and other
factors which are very discouraging.
This year it has been stressed that
help is needed on the farnis of On-
tario as never before. The call has
gone out for all those who can possib-
ly do so to enroll for fa'rm service.
With millions of people being freed in
Europe greater quantities of farm pro-
ducts will be required, .and this de-
mand can only be met if our farmerA
have more help. The situation is
urgent.

Even the Barvarian Alps do not look
good to Adolph Hitler today. The
Allies are closing in for the kill.

The Untied Nations Conference
which convenes next week at San
Francisco will go on as usual. The
people of the Allied Nations are trust-
ing that this conferenec will plan a
formula to prevent wars.
