Canada has reason to count her blessings in these days of trial.
Canada is three thousand miles away from the sound of guns
which are devastating Europe.
The broad Atlantic Ocean rolls between us and the ruthless
savagery of the German Armies.
The strongest fleets in the world — British, American and
Canadian—patrol the sea between us and the enemy.
We have a great friendly nation, probably the richest and most
powerful in the world, at our side.
CANADA CAN. AFFORD HER SACRIFICES
THERE
This war is a mechanized war.
We have the nickel ... copper ... lead ... zinc and other metals
the war industries need. We have access to the iron. We can
make the steel.
We have the organized industries to fabricate these metals and
make the trucks, and tanks, and guns, and planes, and the ships.
We have skilled workers and the plants for mass production.
Canada has the wheat and the food supplies.
Let us count our blessings, and tighten our belts.
Canada is rich—one of the richest countries per head of popula•
tion in the world. Let us lend our strength to the utmost of our
power. Our national future depends upon Victory.
We must win to live.
WILL BE FURTHER CALLS
There have been many calls upon the people of this country
for money since Canada entered the war at the side of
Great Britain.
'here will be further calls.
Let us face the future unafraid.
Canada can carry the load.
But every Canadian must shoulder his and her share.
This is the most critical hour in our history. Let the future
historians say of Canada, as they will say of our Mother Country:
"This was their finest hour."

REAL TESTING TIME

The real testing tine for Can-
adians is drawing closer and close-.
It won't be long before most citi-
zens will be called upon for financial
and physical sacrifices far beyond
that asked for up to this moment.'
Heretofore Canadians have ben
asked to tighten tthelr belts, to roll
ftp their sleeves. Soon the formality
of a re(puest will be dispensed with
The struggle for sell -preservation
Will loom so big 'IbM the course of
the average citizen will beobvdouo.
None who know thte baste char -
actor of a Canadian doubts tit he
wilt foil in the time of crises, Whott
Me inner and 111e mother and the
grown-up children wholly realize
that they must do Certain! things to
Save their home 'from destruetto'o,
no job, no sacrifice will seem too big.
