PTIHOUSANDS of men and women, who
I- gave the best years of their lives fighting
for us, are now going out into the world as
normal, peace-loving Canadians.
But the road back to civilian life is long and
hard. The transformationi of a man, trained
in the science of killing, into a peaceful citi-
zen cannot be accomplished overnight. The period of
re-adjustment and re-establishment is extremely difficult.
That*is why Canada is carrying on an extensive re-
habilitation programme. It will' better equip our returned
men and women to open the doors to opportunity in a
world at peace. But our rehabilitation programme costs
money — a lot of money.
Canada must borrow this money from people like
yourselves—loyal, hard-working, patriotic Canadians—out
of incomes and savings.
Your purchase of bonds carries with it the highest
prestige. It places you alongside the fighting men who
have "Signed Their Name For Victory". So buy two
instead of one and put your dollars to work to help our
fighting men along the long road back.

1885 SIXTY YEAR'S OF, PROGRESS
•
gieerm dame ed-Aue
When, on November 7, 1885, the last spike was
driven linking the rails of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way, developments only dreamed of that day were
to follow.
Soon• ships flying the red and white Canadian Pacific
house flag were plying the Pacific . .. then the Atlantic,
There followed a chain of hotels . . . resorts and lodges
; . coastal and inland steamships express and tele-
graph services—the whole forming an all-Canadian
system stretching more than half way round the world.
In 1939, this vast system was dedicated to the win,
ning of the war. Since then the Company's rail lines
alone have handled more than .128 billion ton miles
of freight—and 11 billion passenger miles. All ocean
steamships have been on active service—many have
gone down fighting.
Now the Canadian Pacific faces the future. Plans
have been completed for the construction of new, im-
proved locomotives and coaches ... sleeping cars ;
parlour cars ... diners; for the renovation of stations
and hotels; and for the building of a new fleet of
ocean vessels.
In a world at peace the Canadian Pacific Will do its
part in providing Modern, efficient transportation by
land and sea.

'71:1E HORSE. :SHOW
Those who were privileged to see
,the Horse Show either Thursday af-
1,Orn9Qn or evening were delighted
with the splendid class of entries and
the way the show was managed. Each
'CUSS. was well filled and competition
was keen, The best horses in the pro-
ifirkee were on exhibition and this third
annual show was up to the high stan-
dard pet in previous years, many, con-
sidered it the tops to date, The events
were run off with clock-like precision.
As soon as one event was over another
class was ready. The directors of the
fair and those who so ably assisted
them are deserving of great praise for
.the efficient manner with which the
show was conducted, It was a job
truly well done, * *

A Column For Service People

The first concern of the newly dis-
charged man or woman is raimetit.
After five or six years of being decked
out exclusively yn blue or gray or,
khaki, the vet finds it most pleasant
to be able to cut his own slice of the
rainbow.
A tie which features seven or eight
different pastel shades and socks
With plenty of zing to their design
are a welcome change from the black
or khaki neckwear which the uniform
featured eXclusively, or those gray,
one-size affairs worn under the boots,

Vets Appreciate Haberdashers' Good-
will
A suit, of course, is the prime nec-
essity of/tale man returning to civilian
status, but a coat and vest would be
something, less than elegant if the
Wearer lacked a shirt, Consequently,•
the veteran 18 grateful for the policy
adopted by many clothing stores across
Cattada of setting, aside out of each
shipment of haberdashery a large as,
sortment of accessories to be sold only
to demobbed personnel, This is purely
spontaneous gesture of good-will.

More Than Law Provides
The law says that newly discharged
men must be given priority rating
when it comes to the purchase of a
new suit, but no mention is made of
any other articles of apparel. There-
fore the storekeeper would' be- quite
winthin his rights in ignoring the vet's
need for any of the other attributes
of the well-dressed man. That such a
course is not followed is appreciated
very sincerely by the man trying to
prepare himself for Civvy Street.
As George Price of Halifax (late
Corporal Price, Royal Canadian Eng-
ineers , expressed it; "A lot of us* fel-
lows have to start from scratch in the
matter of getting a wardrobe together.
In my case, for instance, I told mother
to give my clothes to the Red Cross
when I went Overseas. So I -have
practically nothing. It certainly helps
a lot to find • a shopkeeper who goes
out of his way to provide the necessary
clothes."
The veteran is, of course, permitted
to take his priority clothing slip •to
any merchant he chooses, Some wish
to renew acquaintance with an outfit-
ter whom they patronized before the
war: others have no one in particular
in mind when they Set out to spend
their clothing allowance.
It is this latter group which finds
so helpful the courteous attitude of the
stores and clothing departments.
