Exeter has done splendidly in the
of blood donations. Her record and the
of the district she serves is altogether
able. These who have opened their veins in be
half of freedom may well have happy moments
as they realize that men who never would have
returned to father and mother and sister and
sweetheart are to return to the land of the
maple and beaver because Canadian blood was
given in no stinted draught or scanty tide at
the local blood clinic. And the end is not yet.
Smuts has told us that the hardest and blood
iest part of the struggle over there in Europe
is yet to come. The supreme high command sus
tains his every word, No one can tell how awful
is the fighting that is yet to come. The German
tiger is baring his teeth, He will be relentless,
remorseless, murderous in his death agonies.
Our armies will require blood transfusions as
never before. May they look to Canada in a
hope that is being ever more and more fulfilled
beyond all expectation on their part. Everyone
who can will do his part at the nearest blood
clinie.
Get Behind It * * *
Canadians are asked to subscribe to an
other Victory Loan. The request has behind it
the drive of stern necessity. Hopefully do we
look to a happy consumation of the war. It must
be remembered; however, that wars are not

which we may do so, is to support this present-

Canadians have suffered little in the way of

Moving Forward
“We have reached our last frontier.” we
were told a few years ago. That was an old
story. Some people always are seeing limits.
Well, we are finding we have still another fron
tier that is beckoning to the adventurer. This
call is to the North. That Alaskan Highway is
one of the fingers pointing to new possibilities
of national growth. The pioneer in what is now
Old' Ontario, one hundred years ago looked
with awe to the regions south of Georgian Bay.
Sixty years ago it was thought of as the home
of the deer, of the fox and of the bear and
wolf. James Bay and Hudson Bay were the
last word for desolation except for the huntex
.and self-enforced exile from human society. In
the early days of last century Colonel Talbot
was regarded as an eccentric hermit. All that
as past. A new day has dawned and with its
coming we find the geologist and the chemist
showing the world undreamed of resources
where wise men said there was nothing to be
found but the stunted poplar. What is to bo
done about it ? We must find the answer or see
our opportunities for wealth" and progress seiz
ed by strangers who have a proper sense of
values. The schools and homes and the uni
versities, as well as business men and genuine
statesmen; can and are solemnly required to
show the way to the new day of development
and freedom. Nor can the church afford to
trifle in a day so fraught with destiny. The
church was asleep when Lenin and Hitler and
Stalin were very much awake.
* * * #
An Old-fashioned Gentleman
Moscow people, naturally, were anxious to
have a good opportunity of seeing and showing
their high sense of the worth of Mr, Churchill,
both were afforded them at a ballet entertain
ment provided by the rulers in Moseovp When
the entertainment was over and the moment
came for the expression of Moscow’s liking for
the British prime minister, Mr. Stalin retreated
from the side of Mr. Churchill and left him
standing alone in order that there might be no
mistake as to whom the approbation was ex
pressed. The outburst of Russian feeling for
the British prime minister was thunderous, tre
mendous. As the cheering died down Mr. Stalin
once more took his place beside his British
friend and again the cheering rose and fell
■only to be renewed again and again. Was ever
there an act more courtly, more well timed or
better performed than was the dignified with
drawal of Mr, Stalin as he went into the back
ground till his fellow citizens let the British
Prime Minister understand that Russia and
Britain are one and indivisible in the appalling
struggle for freedom that now convulses the
•world ?' A man may be as mighty as we know
Htalin to be and yet as considerate of the feel
ing of other people as only a strong man. may
be.

Word has come of the discovery of a large

So far, the appeal is largest in behalf of the
