HOW MUCH AND HOW
Gwendblen Massey
We are 'asked to give to our utmost
limits; we shall be asked again, and
again. How do we give?
We attended a concert last week
"in aid of" the Victory Loan Camp-
aign, We sat among friends in a well-
heated hall, enjoying an evening of
entertainment, our admittance fees go-
ing to the good cause. Yet in oar
hearts many of us felt ashamed to be
there .The nature of the giving this
time is so serious, so vital, that to
temper it with song and dance is to
acknowledge our own :,weakness of
character, to acknowledge that our
generosity must be induced. We have
been so used to evading realities that
even this our fight against Slavery
and death has to 'be a small degree
sugar-coated.
This appetite for inducements is, an
old habit with us. For generations we
have attended charity balls, spending
as much, if not more on dress, enter-
tainment and transportation than the
sick and needy received as the result
of our efforts. We have roared with
laughter at,the funny man in many a
concert got up for the purpose of sav-
ing little children from starving. We
are very inconsistent. The argument
is bound to be*raised, however, "There
are those who will never give a cent
without being coaxed; flattered and
entertained." Can this be said of any-
