AllTo Blood Donors
Thank Y u
2,347,000 blood donations were made in Canada, 1,423,000 in
Ontario, through the volunteer Blood Donor Service of the
Canadian Red Cross Society since the first clinics were estab-
lished in January, 1940. The lives of huudreds in the army, the
navy and the air force were saved through this service.
This record was only made possible through your donations of
blood. We wish to thank you sincerely for your generous •help
, at a time when the need was so great. Special thanks are also
given to the doctors, nurses, transport drivers and all other
'volunteers who gave so generously of their time and talents.
The Volunteer Blood Donor Service is now closed as a war
measure. A new challenge is presented, however, for many
deaths occur in Canadian hospitals each year for lack of an
adequate transfusion service.
To meet this need, the Red Cross is making a survey with a view
to providing all Canadian hospitals with blood for transfusion
purposes. To our thanks, then, we add an invitation to help
us as we continue our humanitarian work. When the time
comes, and plans are ready, announcements will be duly made.

It's your safety we mean; when we speak of the
Treadmark of Safety. The basic pattern of the Goodyear
diamond tread has remained the same year,after year ...
unchanged for 37 years. Other tread designs are always
changing . always "startling", always 'marvellous
. . . but never quite good enough to survive.
The simple truth is that no tire maker . . .,not even
Goodyear . . . has been able to improve the non-skid safety
and traction efficiency of that basic diamond-block
pattern. The diamond tread continues through the law
of "Survival of the Fittest".
Of course, there have been changes in detail to meet
progressive changes in motoring conditions; but the basic
diamond-block design survives ... and wherever you have
seen it, you have seen the mark of a Goodyear tire.
The diamond tread is only one of many reasons why
now, as for 30 years, "More People Ride on Goodyear
Tires Than On Any Other Kind".

VICTORY LOAN DRIVE
OPENS IN OCTOBER
Will Be Canada's Greatest Victory
Loan
Canada's ninth and biggest Victory
Loan will open October 22 and no
loan campaign will be staged in the
spring of next year, Finance Minister
Ilsley announced in an appeal to Can-
adians to continue their savings cam-
paign for another year.
The finance minister said that the
Ninth Loan would really be two loans
in one and no new loan would be
launched in the spring ,of 1946, but
the sale of war savings stamps and
certificates would continue,
He did not indicate whether further
loans would be floated after the spring
of next year, but set the minimum goal
for the Ninth Loan at $1,500,000,000.
Canada's biggest loan to date was the
Eighth when the minimum objective
was $1,350,000,000 and at that time
Canadians subscribed a record of $1,-
568,927,350.
Mr. Ilsley said because of wat- •
end reductions in Canada outlays it
was possible for the ninth loan to meet
the Dominion's borrowing needs for
a 12-month period, Up to now each
Victory Loan aimed to cover needs of
only six months, so that the ninth
loan was really two loans in one.
Despite the end of hostilities Can-
ada's borrowing requirernents contin-
ued to reflect the costs of was and its
aftermath, he said, The maintenance
and pay of Canada's armed forces
awaiting -demobilization, the costs hi-
volved in their return to civil life, the
need far Medical care for wounded
and the support of forces rem aining
abroad as occupation otitt were major
items reflected in the large goal which
had been set for the ninth loan.
The United Nations, including Can-
ada, were making gifts of -essential

Curb on Inflation
"War production has come to an
end. Production for civilian use is on
the way up. But, the supply of new
things to buy at current prices is still
very much less than the amount of
spendable money in the hands of Can-
adians. As long as this condition re-
mains, there will be upward pressure
on prices, pressure which could lead
to inflation, then to mass unemploy-
ment, misery and hardship.
"Spending increases this pressure.
Saving reduces it. So continued sav-
ing, by the purchase of Ninth Victory
Loan bonds, helps to keep the costs
of living under control and to maintain
the buying power of our money. By
helping to maintain stability, it will
help us to win the peace."

RESEARCH AWARD
Toronto Man First to Get Fellowship
in Food Distribution
Lawrence J. Martello of Toronto, ax
graduate of the department of busi.-
ness administration at the 'University
of Western Ontario in 1945, has been
awarded the first J. William Horsey
graduate fellowship for research in
food distribution, it was announced by
Dr. K, P. R. Neville, dean and regis-
trar of the university.
Mr. Horsey, for whom the fellow-
ship is named, is President of Do-
minion Stores Limited. The fellow-
ship, the first of its kind in Canada,
is valued at $1,500 per year and is
awarded for a two-year period.
The first year of the program will
involve graduate work at a university
to be designated by the committee of
selection of which Dr; Neville is
chairman, The second year will be
devoted to projects of research in the
field of Canadian food distribution.
Emphasis of the research will be
placed on the efficiency of food distri-
bution to promote the narrowing of
the margin between producer and con-
sumer.
Mr. Martello, first to be awarded the
fellowship, was graduated from Wes-
tern in "May. He attended. Vaughan
Road Collegiate, Toronto. At Wes..'
tern, he acted as president of the New-
man' man' Club. In his final year he was

Also there were outlays of various
kinds to clean up the war program
and start Canadians on their way to-
ward normal peace-time living.
"These tasks and these needs, are
reasons why Canada's borrowing re-
quirements for the next year will re-
m main at a high level even through
direct war costs have declined with
victory in Europe and in the Pacific,"
Mr. Ilsley said. "They are reasons
why Canadians are being asked to con-.
tinue their present savings program
for another year.
"Plans to win the peace — plans
for high employment and prosperity in
the days to come — are now being
laid. Continued savings over the next
year will help these plans succeed.
