It may surprise you that 215,000 more Bell telephones are in service
now than when war began. With telephone manufacturers practically
100% on war orders, it was done by (1) using up reserve stocks
and (2) reconditioning used equipment. We have thus been able to
meet.—fully and on time—every essential war demand for tele-
phone service,
Only materials left over after these needs are met can be used to
look after our "waiting list". These unfilled orders are our constant
concern. Filling them calls for additional wire, and cable, and
intricate exchange apparatus, and, all the other elements of
a complete telephone system. And this, in turn, is just one
part of the whole construction program we will undertake
once men and materials are available, It means lots of work
ahead for every Bell employee, whether at home or lit A

"An army can move only as fast as its
supplies." That truth is well established.
Engineers and infantry need artillery
support. All need ammunition . . food
. . . and they need moral support . . .
proof that we, at home, are doing all we
can to back them up.
Attack wins objectives. Support wins
Wars.
And that is where we, on the home front,
fit into the war programme., We must
furnish support. We must buy more
'Victory Bonds.
Bear in mind that part of the money
which Victory Bonds provide is used
to buy foods which Canadian farmers
produce and which is needed to feed our
fighters and the fighting forces of our
allies.
Victory Bonds are a g‘ood investment ;
the safest place that you can put your
savings. You should buy them to have
money for things you want to do when
the war ends. (In case of emergency
you can get cash for therm) All the
money you invest in Victory Bonds
comes back to you eventually. Mean.
time your bonds earn 3% interest.
Your banker will tell you it's good
business to put your savings into Victory
Bonds.

Mr, Bracken admits that planning
must 'be be undertaken. However, he
says, it must be of a eollective nature,
He specifies the four factors required,
insisting that each is necessary, and
stipulating that all must work • to-
gether, The question arises, how are
those factors, to be brought togetber„
and where. If they are to discuss the
merits of plans formulated will they
be gifted with the, power, if unanimity
is achieved, of seeing to it that the
Plans agreed upon are -carried out.
Mr, Bracken males no announcement
as to that. The fact of the matter is,
he does not believe in the scheme of
planning, that, in his Montreal speeelr,
he recommended, 'We already have,
in our House of Commons, a body,
whose duty it is to plarefor the future,
In that assembly are representatives
of the four factors that, according to
Bracken should make plans. They arc
sent to the lime to do just precisely
that, Before going, they are told by
the electors what kind of plans to
make. Mr, ,Bracken has often said
Parliament should not plan, but only
regulate. Now, he says it should
help to plan and regulate as well. But
he must not be taken seriously, he is

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor Wingham Advance: .
I quote from John Bracken's speech
delivered in Montreal the other Mght.
"Business labor, farmer and govern-
ment together must plan to give snore
people greater freedom,"
Posturing freedom as a good thing
to have, Mr, Bracken stressed that the
expansion of its boundaries is an ob-
jective he condones and favors. Now,
I ask,..if this freedom to plan is a good
thing, why confine it only to those
already enjoying it, plus some more.
Further, whom are the more he speaks
of; how many are included in Ms
classification? If planning is so org-
ently needed, why should any be
tictiied permission to engage in it?
Mr. Bracken speaks scoffingly of the
Planned Economy that the C.C.P. is
oiling adoption of; yet he lament-
ably fails to perceive that he is ^agitate
