ZI 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.

KELLEY Chairman Ontario Committee Blood Donor Service 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". • swoop to de-Na?ify Ruhr industries, the British Control Corninission an- nounced, Will Urge Congress.

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 J 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." be punished, The report, covering part of the 240 protests and appeals sent to japan through the Swiss Government, reveals how the demAds for ordinary, civilized, decency to help- less prisoners fell on indifferent ears, right up to the time of the Japanese surrender, Allies in Singapore Singapore, — Wary troops of the Oth Indian Division, cheered lustily by thousands of Allied war prisoners, gan the reoccupation of this key bas- tion of Great Britain's.

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.

"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.
