A chance to Go 'Fishin' 'DES, and the right to go fishin', ; .1 the right to enjoy the simple, pleasant things of life! Picnics by the river—week-end trips in the old family jalopy—these are some of the' things that your boy is fighting for today! And he won't be able to enjoy those things, unless we at home fight for him against inflation—unless we make sure when he gets back his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his 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 with black markets. If we break - the :rules, our country—the country he's fighting for—will start on that spiral of prices known as inflation! Remember! Every time ONE of us breaks ONE of these rules, were lowering' the value of our soldier's dollar. We're helping to shoot prices sky-high . ; and sky-high prices mean inflation. The value of every dollar in Canada goes down, and when the men overseas come back their dollar might buy only a quarter's worth of goods! We can prevent inflation! Vile can give our fighting man his "right to go fishin' ", if we make sure his dollar will-be worth a dollar, when he Mlles home. We can't give back to him his lost years, or his lost youth. But if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living the Canadian way of life! 111,061111.4ed -bytlig .(ONTARIO) to reveal the dangers of inflation: Make this Pledge Today!
