IN TRAINING
FOR A COMMISSION
"We have a thousand, soldiers in
training for, a commission," grave
authority infer= us. That's the
talk. " E]very French soldier has a
marshal's baton Inc kis' knap sack,"
Napoleon told his soldiers. "I'll work
you!" was the curt cam -lent made
when a soldier did e. bit of particu-
larly fine work for ICitchener, And
now the king .is telling his Canadian
youth that he has a thousand men In
the ranks who are being -trained for
commissions. And a bitof real
training it 'will he. There will be
hard study, bard drill and long
marches and a bit of wholesome
fatigue and belly pinch and some en-

will learn what to do !with black-

duct. But they will come cut of it

NO TIME FOR
PEACE TALK
Advocates, of peace negotiations
at this time assuredly are not in
touch with the realiites of the situ-
ation, Anything short of a com-
plete victory over Germany and the
orushtng of Naziism would be
merely to bring about an armed
truce which would give the enemy
an opportunity of consolidating his.
poistion and strengthening his
forces for the final test of strength.
Nobody wants peace more than
Hitler; but so long as, he is the.
clerninlant figure in, •Germany tiny
peace with him. would be but a
mockery. He would be confirmed
in the idea that the democracies can
be diverted: with empty promises,
and in another year or two, perhaps
in less time, he wouldrenew his ag-
gressions..
ggressions.. It has taken years for
the democracies to make up their
mind's to fight him, and if they
should back down now it would
probably be imiposcsibie to arouse
again the spirit which today ani-
mates them. Taxpayers would not
submit to another war levy if the
billions. already spent had no effect
other than to renew the conditions
of the last few years.
Having girded themselves for the
fray, there is nothing for the demo-
cracies, to do but to go ahead and
fight to a finish. There can, be no
truce with Hitler. there can be 'no

Have you ever been astonished?
Really assionisbed, I mean, So often
we use this word and that without
paying particular attention to their
real meanings. For instance, we
sometimes call attention to their
real 'meanings. For instance, we
sometimes call things 'astonishing"
just because they happen to be a
little outside of our customary
orbit.
This -Mme, though, I use the word
astonish advisedly. I was astonish-
ed: the other day to hear a woman,
whose opinions, I have long valued,
state quite earnestly that she thinks
men are more patient than women.
To be fair I should point ant that
this, was not an unprovoked state-
ment. It was an unexpected and
really astonishing agreement with
me.
Until then I had notbeen, sure,
myself, that I really believed myself
when I claimed that men are more
patient than women. Now, astonish-
ed to fined that she agrees with me,

Somewhere in Ontario, before this hour has ticked
away, a little child will be stricken or injured -Pneumonia, Poliomye-
litis, an automobile accident. or one of a hundred or more diseases or
accidents will have found a victim.
The life of this little child may depend on the
PROMPT ACTION of The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
Centralized here under one roof is every facility
known to medical science for the effective prevention and cure of
childhood disease and deformity.
More than 9,000 little children were treated here
last year. ONE-THIRD of these children came from Ontario
Municipalities outside the City of Toronto.
Most of them were children of parents unable to pay
the low Public Ward rates. But they were not denied any treatment
or care that would assist in their recovery.
This humane policy resulted in a deficit of $90,000,
last year.
We appeal to responsible, charitable Ontario citizens
for donations to help us meet this deficit and for practical encourage-
ment to continue and expand this work next year.
Please , the life of a little child may be saved
because you were kind and benevolent today. Send your donation,
large or small ... NOW.
