It was a call from Kindersley, Sask., and the voice of Roy, her son, greeted her, What a surprise on such a day! Mrs. Quickfall writes: teWe like to pass on to other sons and mothers the value and satisfaction to be obtained through the medium of telephone contacts, particularly so when the dear ones are scattered over the country." • Why wait for a Golden Wedding?

EDITORIALS 111114144 THE SUGAR CRISIS The patrioti0nt and common sense o lithe Canadian people are to be tasted during the next two weeks by the sugar situation. The facts as set forth by the War- time Prices and Trade Board are simple, Briefly, tbere is just enough reserve stock of sugar in the country at the present time to take care of the norma; wants of the Canadian people for two weeks, ,By the end of that t.tme it is expected. that the arrival of raw Sugar supplies from outside and tate coming on the scene et the first Canadian beet sugar of the year will end all danger of a shortage. The critical period is the coming fortnight. There is ample sugar ' to carry the country over so long as the Canadian consumers are con- tent with a sugar supply on a day- to-day basis. As the Board points out however, ' if they start another buying panic of the Labor Day week -end kind, they will succeed in a short time in precipating an acute shortage that for a brief period at least will cause considerable distress. There is no need or any such *shortage emir/ping. The whole thing r'eeta on the shoulders of the people themselves, 11 they are satisfied to buy merely enough sugar to carry them along until the supply ha$ been replenisbed there will not be the slightest dirnculty. On the other hand if they start madly running around to all the grocery stores trying to Stock up at this critical moment they will make the situation awkward far every one.
