The initial step can be modest, the speaker said. A landing strip where a plane can sit down in bad weather. Be suggested a landing strip of 200 feet by 1000 feet, an area of .about eight acres, The field at Mt, Ali, one of the busiest in Canada, is only thirty -ave: acres, Barker field, 'which did one of the biggest training jobs at the start' of the war, had only 35' acres; • A possible' site should`be pur- chased or optioned tow, he said. At the end "of the War development cam commence, It would mean jobs for' then from the services to do a little. fencing, grading, lay a few hundred feet of the, place a few boundary fences and markers, These are jobs "host wan Plans are a victory in- done for wages—not dole.

Only that will could keep the Nazi troops charging again and Mr. Patterson said he had been again. Only that will could keep the Soviet soldiers fighting relentlessly against superior advancing num- bers,' Only the selfish desire for something you want more than life itself causes people to put up that kind of a fight. "The Jap fights because he wants to own and rule Asia, if not more of the world. The Nazis are fighting to get the kind of a world they want, a slave world over which they shall be masters. The Russians must have something really worth fighting for, worth living for, worth dying for; something in the Russian plan for the future that is worth more to the Russians than life itself. "What is the incentive for which our men and women are fighting? Is it because of the glorious conditions they have enjoyed for the past ten years? Is it because of a future so bright, so full of opportunities that they are willing to sacrifice their lives? No! They fight to prevent you and Inc and themselves from becom- ! Ing the slaves of the Germans or the Japs. Is it not time then that we give our fighting forces a real incentive for an early victory? "Half of this war is being fought at home, here in our own Canada. Are we fighting with all we have? Have we a burning hunger for what we believe Victory will bring? Ask the man on the street. Ask the man in the shell factory. Ask the man in the aircraft factory. If he's honest with you, he will tell you that he's scared stiff of what is going to hap- pen when this war is over. Why? Be- cause he has already had a taste of depression, and he didn't like it. Thousands upon thousands of Cana- dians have, for the first time in years, been able to holds their heads high because of the .false prosperity that war has brought. They are sure of food, clothing and shelter, so long.1 'Let us, therefore, do some post -1 as the war lasts. war planning as a Victory incentive. Let us give our fighters, both mili- tary and civil, something beyond a mere existence for which to fight. I Let's show them a future worth fighting or. There are many post- war plans being developed and many of these . are practical and workable plans that will only re- quire a little co-operation to assure their success. "My personal appeal to you is in behalf of Aviation, the future indus- try of this great nation. Before vic- tory is won, we will have some two hundred thousand men and women in 1 the RCAF and another hundred thou- sand in the aircraft, industry snaking weapons of aerial warfare. A large percentage of those under thirty years of age will still want to keep 'em flying.'I 'In our war effort we are creating two gigantic reservoirs of education, The aircraft -employees and the per- sonnel of the RCAF. In the factories we are spending millions in the training of aircraft mechanics in the construction and servicing of air- craft. In the air force we are spend- ing billions for the training of rigg- ers -and fitters, administrative and air persomel. Let us plan now so we can use these reservoirs of education, which will give us the use of an in- vestment said to equal $15,000 per • "I l 1 1 k to quote part of an (that may save a lifp e sometime m Miss Margaret Dot 'rens telm Strat- ford, with Mr. and Mrs. A.

In times of War there would be no way;of knowing what had happened to men missing in battle ... no way of telling men in enemy prison camps that they were remembered by loved ones at home.
