The Wingham Advance-Times, 1945-11-08, Page 2,:9s,;;;;;;:k3,14. • ",•:• 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.

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.

As has'been stated indications point to a successful Onclusion of the campaign, Every week since V-E Day Canadians have- been coming home from overseas, They are the boys and girls who risk- ed their lives so that we should not risk ours. They are not boys and girls any more. They are men and women of dburage, of spirit„ and of great deeds, We must keep our pro- mise to them, The best that we can offer them in job training, in educa- tion, in the development of their nat-' ural talents must be provided for them, A Ninth Victory Loan Bond has more than a momentary value. It is a Bond guaranteeing our gratitude for services rendered. It is our way of keeping Faith with those who have kept Faith with us.

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.
