Penfound.. HE trail has been a long dark way. At times it seemed we might not see the day; But now at last the rising sun is ours And with it comes new challenge to our powers. Was war naught but a game to win by score And, having won, to cheer, and strive no more? If that be all for which our men have died Then we have lied. O Canada, most favoured of the lands, Review whereon our right to victory stands; Our vow to free and succour those oppressed -- Provide for those who fought and are distressed, Who risked without reserve all they could give To break our foes that we might freely live. If we now stop to haggle at the cost Then we'll have lost. If we play square with those who fought our fight, And work with them to shape our world aright; Postpone our buying things we little need- Prevent inflation growing throughour greed; Co-operate in peace as well as war By loaning to our cause a little more .. If we keep faith until the job is done Then we'll have won. 1V1011i1E, 'VICTORY BONDS 'EWE HYD,R;O,,ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO
