What It Means To Belong To A Reserve Unit In times ,of national emergency there comes to every individual a maze.ef conflicting thought in relation to his or her part in the countrys program. Thousands of women throughout the land have found expression of this inner consciousness by their support to the Red Gross. They feel to be a tangible part of a great army, dedica- ted to help the suffering, the wounded, the distressed, the under- nourished, all as a result 'of the ravages of war. And so a measure of relief is afforded them, in the actual knitting of socks, sweaters, the packing of boxes, the sorting of blankets,or preparing of .bandi- ages.: All this adds up to, "My Part," "My?;Contribution.". 'In spite of all the things that 'may haves een done. wrong, allthe=mi's- takes that have occured, the mass of conflicting opinions, parliameri- tary debates and discussions; our ,nation as a whole, is playing a magnificient part as a sister Dominion in a great Empires, whose flag has flown os a symbal of freedom and justice for over seven hundred years. Hence to each one must come the urge to play some part ,outside the daily routine of business or factory. The Reserve Army .of Canada offers the opportunity to. thousands .of men who cannot join an active force or place their full tune • in a military 'capacity,' to prepare -themselves for the crisis if it should come to these North American shores. It is the personal satisfaction of a voluntary contribution that cannot be measured in terms of motley or material wealth. Many are serving fail time on the land, our older children have ,oragnized into groups and. are sacrificing their precious holiday periods to gather in the vital crops, so badly need- ed at this time. Youngwomen are enrolling with various corpsand auxilliary forces to play their part in the nation's contribution. And so the record is being written in countless homes across this Do - .All represent sacrifice in time, education and material gain. Today, tomorrow and in the years to come; the knowledge that duty was placed before personal convenience and comfort. will be a sustaining satisfaction to the individual who will live in community '"with his fellow men. CANADA'S RESERVE ARMY NEEDS MEN AND NEEDS THEM NOW. This is a simple statement of fact, without a play 'on words or the coaxing skill of an advertisement. The result .of your decision can mean a great deal to your personal satisfaction in the years that lie ahead.
