THE BRITISH NEED YOUR HELP!
The United Emergency Find for Britain, sponsored by
many public -.spirited people throughout Canada, has
as its objective aiding the millions of people of Britain
who never have received parcels of food and clothing from
this country. ,
Many of these people still are in need of food and
clothing. Gash donations received from the Canadian public
will be used for hulk purchases in Canada of food and other
supplies and •shipped in bulk to United Emergency Fund • for
Britain warehouses in the United Kingdom for general distri-
bution under supervision of our British Advisory Council with-
out charge from Canadian ports.
All shipments will be sent to .Britain free of ocean
freight which, will be paid by the British Government. Dock
handling charges, inland freight to individual welfare assoc-
iations located anywhere in the British Isles, also are looked
after • by the British Government.
We Canadians would do well to remember that while
we eat three meals a day, the people of Great Britain 'don't
eat one good meal a month. Just because they put up with
their privations with dignity is no reason for us to forget them;
when we can help from time to time at very little expense
to spread a little joy in an English family by increasing their`
meagre pittance by means of our gifts, w•e,should do it.
• The Committee feel that you would like to share
in this work, and your subscriptions may be left for forward-
ing to headquarters at the Bank of Montreal, The Royal
Bank of Canada, the. office of the Town Clerk, or any of
the committee in charge: A. J. McMurray, chairman; George
Jefferson, T. Gordon Scribbins, J. George Mcl:ay, W. H.
Robinson, Frank Fingland, and G. Ralph Foster.

THE FAMILY AND ITS PROBLEMS
lthough the family is the smallest of social institutions,
Ait occupies first rank in importance, points out the
Monthly Letter of The Royal Bank of Canada for
December.
It is the primary unit in every civilized community;
it is the first place of instruction in matters spiritual and
material; it is the most closely -knit centre of social activity;
it is ,the basic buying unit; and it is the stage upon which
are played out the greatest joys and sorrows of human life.
Improvement of family living is not merely senti-
mental. i't is a necessity for the smooth -running community,
the sound nation and the vitality of democracy.
But the family is not escaping, any more than other
treasured things, the turmoil of the age, Some disturbing
influences are 'hold -overs from pre-war days. These have
been intensified and new ones have been added by the ex-
periences of the past ten years. Even in Canada, with all
its resources and liberties and opportunities, there is an in-
creasing tenseness in family relationships.
In the opinion of some observers the fostering of
romantic dreams by movies, radio, magazines, advertisements
and newspaper strips is chiefly to blame for a lowered re-
sistance ho family difficulties, "More and more," said life
in a recent issue, "as the result of such highly coloured
suggestion, young people have tended to rely impulsively on
physical attraction and love at first sight."
Fainly life is not tirade up of romance, although that
is one of its most important ingredients. There are hundreds
of small, realistic problems to be faced every week, and
both senior partners in the family must be prepared for patient
and self-denying hard work. It is necessary to have compan-
ionship and friendship alongside the romance.
The Archbishop of York said at 'fhe marriage- of Prin.
cess- Elizabeth and Prince Philip:
• Love must always be unselfish, and unselfishness
is the true secret of a happy married life. it must show
itself not only in a great moment of heroic self-sacrifice
but continually in all small problems and incidents of
everyday life. it means thoughtfulness and patience,
ready sympathy and forbearance, talking over and shar-
ing together the special interests and cares which each
of you will have,
