PHYSICIAN AND SUROgON Phone' 150 Winghant Make this Pledge Today! I pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation: By observing rationing and avoiding black markets in any shape or form. By respecting price controls" and other anti-inflation measures, and re- fraining from careless and unneces- sary buying. I will not buy two where one will do, nor will I buy a "new" where an "old" will do. . . By buying Victory Bonds and War Savings Stamps, supporting tax- ation and abiding by all such measures which will lower the cost of living and help keep prices at a normal level. YOU & Co. ., "U"'OU AND COM' PANY—you and 1 that family you work and plan for! A small boy you'd like to send to college—a little girl who's going to have "the very best her old Dad can give her!" it's the most im- portant thing in the world, isn't it— planning for their future! And NOW is the time to make sure those plans come true by putting up a strong, steady fight against inflation! You and all of us must fight for that future by fighting to keep Can- ada's dollar sound. Unless we can keep that dollar worth a full dollar, You & Co.—along with. "the rest of Canada—will face inflation! That's v,,hy it's important NOW—more than now—to fight for a dollar that's worth a dollar. Why NOW especially? Because new civilian goods are scarce, and . money is plentiful. Now is the time trs) FIGHT to maintain price con- trols and price ceilings. We must support and urge the support of rationing. We must buy only what we need, and only at fair markets. If we' do this, we can make plans for the future as part of a Nation that is economically sound. If we don't, we're going to find some day that our dollar will buy only a quarter's worth of goods. And that means that dollar is only worth a quarter. This is inflation! Up to now, Canada's controls have really worked. We've been able to prevent inflation. But we must fight now to keep those controls working, until the supply of civilian goods can come up to the demand! What happened after the last war must not happen again! For the sake of our children, for our returned soldiers, for ougselves let's keep up the fight against inflation.
