These deposits are held in aver 4 million accounts, which (probably means that one out of about every three people in Canadh has a savings ac- count. By converting real savings Indio war loan bonds, the individual can make a vital contribution to Canada's' war scout, and at the same time secure far hi'ndsel'f a safe and profitable {nrvestmrent. This is a democratic war by a democratic country, and the war effort in every phase is organized and condancted, on a d,eanocratic basis. This shows up clearly in the financial pokey alt the Govern:- metre overn~mere ini aiming to prevent shifth g at actual wealth and income to par- ticular groups or sedtionle of the countr,p, which would. be an nude- eirabie'feature of other methods of fnancina the war.

AN IMPORTANT ROLE Howl, 3, G. Gardiner, Demin'ion Minister of Agrioutiture, stressed the important part Canada ie Playing in the war in a recent address' as tot - "Britain has for at least eight years been giving a demonstration ot 'the tact that she realizes theft when armies marloli they still 'march on ,their stomachs,,' The morale of the deft population, of any country remains high only when the people are well housed and ted. It is a well known fact that the German. armies of the. lest war, the best trained and equipped, at the beglam{mg 'which the world had seen, only wavered and retreated when the British blockade prevented supplies getting to the civilian: population. Britain has, therefore, been giving greet, ,atten- ders to the encouragement, of food peoduoblon at home and' food pro- duot4on in countries, easily acnes Bible during time of war. Canada oe- capdes' an 'enviable position in, the early etagee of this war because of the service she 'an give Britain and France through the fact that: (1) she is one of the great surplus food producing countries of the world; and .2) she 1st no !oersted, as to be comparatively sate from attack and yet is 'within easier distance of Britain than' any other ot the sur- plus teed) producing countries," Li'STE'N TO THE VOICE OF YOUTH On' pre'vioua occasions the Bays' Parliament has a spreeased disap- prove! of cadet training in Ontario elehools but this year it was approv ee ed, The feeling of the members was,that the youth of the country should have some military training, but that such training should be entirely voluntary. Pt is rather interesting each year to hear of the doings in this, parlia- ment to get an idea of the minds at the youth. of the eeevince. These boys; were c'hosen, to represent their respective distelets and they were choice young men and their eiders would do well to hearken to what they say. They did not speak on the 'spur of the moment, but only after careful deliberation and con- sideration. Let ue look briefly at some of their dec'isionla; they voted in favor at conscription of man power, as long ay it wile accompanied' by con soriptiom of wealth and industry; they 'urged that careful sex instruc- tion should be given in the schools as it was of vital importance to Physical! and moral aspects orf adol- eacends; liquor we severely scorned ands the earlier closing of beverage rooms urged'; it was agreed that selected 'group." at imenigrants should be ai'to;wed to enter Canada, not only to relieve suffering and persecution in Europe but to brinlg in intellectual and cultured; people; more religious training should be given in High' School, as new it was conspicuously lacking. From, the above citizens Ban, again some idea of what ie. inn the minds ,of these young men who seem anx- ious to improve conditions and to put living on a higher level. Canada's greatest heritage is its young people, and we need better mem and nobler men. This group are seeking to this end and older citizens, should heed their voice. e.
