It is imperative that the members of our fighting forces retain the ideal of peace and a readiness to shoulder the great responsibilities of civil life. It is to foster this ideal that the Canadian Legion War Services have undertaken the task of preparing the boys for the final cease fire. The mistakes of the last war must be avoided and we must make Dur soldiers into citizens with the same. smoothness and efficiency as we are now making citizens into soldiers. They are the cream of young Canad- ian manhood—the priceless material of Canada's great future. This is one of the big tasks taken over by the Canadian Legion War Services, composed of men who them- selves have passed through the bitter experience of war and its aftermath. With approval and full co-operation of our federal government, the Red Cross and all kindred organizations, the Canadian Legion are making a national appeal for $500,000.
