Went. in his shop and said, 10,gelly!,
Tha,t's great news about thkOvar e -
lug over, Phil. I wais just picking UP
the off leg of Joe /Mane aorrel.rnare
when One of the kids came dashing
cut from the house. He was so ex -
Cited I couldn't make hien out. I
thought, Maybe something had bap-
Pened at the boUse and then. I heard
the fire siren blow and the church
bells start ringing, so I just took off
my apron and got out in the middle
of the fun."
Everybody hadt to tell you how it
happened. Even the local clergyman
said, "I had finished breakfast and
taken a short walk. Climbing back, I
went into my study for a little medi-
tation and work on a sermon. The end
of the war in Europe seemed at hand,
so it was appropriate that I should
work on a special sermon. My wife
came to the door and told me.„that
the war was over. I said a prayer
all by myself."
Why do people tell you where they
were when this happened? We all
do the same thing. If there's a fire,
we tell about it, but first say: "I was
feeding the horses when I heard the
yelling +aoross the -fields." if it was
an accident, we say: 'f working
in the front field. Just finished a
round with the mower and the horses
were resting, when I heard the.
smash."
Oh, well . . . I guess it's just one
of those things about human actions
for which there doelt„ seem to be
an answer.

rIARDENING for the fun of it—
week-end trips in the old family
jalopy-7lazy days fishing by, the river
—these things still stand for a pleas-
ant way of life—a way of life our men
overseas have been fighting for!
They won't be able to come back to
these sitnple things, -unless we get
"down to earth!! in our thinking, and
make „sure when they do come back,
their dollar will be worth a dollar!
To protect that dollar, we must
realize now, the dangers of careless,
unnecessary buying! We must buy
only what we need—never buy two
where one will do! We must not
evade rationing or price control, or
deal in black markets. if3(ive break
these rules, our country—the country
our soldiers fou ht for—will start „.
on that spiral of prices known as
inflation.
And inflation affects everyone ;
wage-earner, pensioner, small-busi-
ness owner, returned soldier! That's
why it's important to take a stand
against it now. If inflation starts in
this Country, this is whafwill happen.
Prices will, rise. 'Wages will try to
follow along—and will never qu'te •
our
catch up! Soon your dollar—
soldier's dollar—may buy onl
of the things it used to! Th
his happened in man
countries of ,the world
hat is ormal livi
25%
As what
of the
today,and
for anyone
is impossible in thos countries!
So let's make e our soldier's
dollar, when h gets back, will be
worth a full °liar, We cannot give
back to m his lost years or lost
you But if we keep up the fight
a nst inflation'the man who is
overseas Can look forward to
pleasant, satisfying living . . . to the
Canadian way of life!
Published by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) toreveal the dangers of inflation.

,Make this Pledge Today!
1 pledge myself to do my part
in fighting inflation:
By observing rationing and avoiding
black markets in any shape or
form.
By respecting price controls and other
anti-inflation measures, and re-
fraining from careless and unneces-
sary buying. I will not buy two
where one will do, nor will I buy
a "new" where an "old" will do.
By buying Victony Bonds and War
Savings Stamps, supporting tax-
ation, and abiding
by all such measures
which will lower the
cost of living and
help keep prices at a
noimal level.
