Majesty.
We assured her a thousand times
of our fealty and devotion. We
showed them in every way we could
think of, as long as she was with us;
and when the time came for the de-
parture, and the school -children of
Halifax sang "Better lo'ed ye canna
be— will ye, no' come back again?"
we would have asked nothing better
than tomakesome great and costly
gesture, to prove our chivalrous eag-
erness to serve the Queen.
Within six months our loyality was
put to the test, and we can proudly
say it was not found wanting—the
more proudly that we did not see
then as clearly, as we do now that it
is Canada itself that we are fighting
for. And now in the midst of . our
war effort there is a direct appeal to
our chivalry, made by the Queen her-
self—an appeal precisely on behalf
of the weak, the helpless, the un-
protected, whom chivalry delights to
succour—who are to be helped by the
Queen's Canadian Fund for Air Raid
Victims,
If there is one thing that has int -
pressed us in this war it has been the.
mass heroism of the English civil-
ians. The parent separated from
their children who are put under the
car of strangers—the men women re-
turning from work to find their
hones wiped out and all their posses-
sions destroyed. --the long and desper-
ate
hours in factories folloWed by
,c.mra01.10.0ue
nightsof fighting fires or disturbed
sleep in. fetid shelters—all this mis-
ery and anguish have been beating
now for months on the nation of
men and women sustained only by an
iron will to victory, And it is in our
cause. as well as their own, that
theys
are suffering; £eying; but for an accid-
ent of geography it might be on us
that bombs are raining down and des-
truction spreading on our cities and
our 'homes. We may well be thank-
ful for our immunity; we should be
callously selfish if we did not sym-
pathise with their distress. To al-
leviate that distress, as far as it is
in our power, is the object of the
Queen's Canadian Fund for Air Raid
Victims.
The Queen speakes as one with ex-
perience, who has been— and is now
—in the front line of the Battle of
Britain. She has walked over the
battlefields that once were streets
and homes, she has talked. with the
survivors—women and children who
saved their lives but nothing else—
and knows how urgent is their need.
And in her name the Fund is appeal-
ing to the Canadian public, in spite
of all other demands of wartime, for
a helping hand to these heroic eas-
ualities of Britain's fight for freedom.
They do not want our pity; they do
need our help. What shall our ans-
wer be?

tions may be sent to the Royal Trust
