It will need the combined initia- tive and imagination of government, management and labour, freed from the menace of fear and greed, Made rich by the special gifts of every race within it, Canada will then demonstrate its answer to the chaos of conflicting races 'which, throughout history, has challenged the peace of the world. Thus will Canada fulfil the vision of our King who said: "With God's grace, you may yet be- come the example which all the world will follow." In the faith that the people of Can- ada are with us, we issue this Call to Action for Total Victory. EVENING AUXILIARY NAME OFFICERS Mrs. A, W.

However, the ex-serviceman and woman will probably make first- hand contact with this department only if he or she is contenmplating starting a small business. In such a case, the WPTB is the authority by which the venture is begun. It supplies the op- erating license, as well as vital inform- ation on supplies and local business permits. The Board also informs the pthspective small business man on matters of price control, rationing, and so forth. In other words, it is his business adviser. * * * "N.H.A.".

OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Marry J. Boyle A kind reader 'has aked me a quest- ion. She has noticed in this column which deals mostly with the happen- ings around Lazy Meadows and some of the other things I write from time to time, that I often refer to the sound of a freight train moaning and wants to know why that is, When I was a very small boy here on the farm, life went on in a more or less routine way. It was a normal farm existence without anything very exciting, ever happening. Across all this there stands out one thing ... the sound of the trains. On cold, fall nights when my father and I would be coming up from the stable, the wind would be lashing at the trees and the sky would be pitch black . . or ,else ragged wisps of cloud would play hide and seek with the moon and then suddenly that long drawn out train whistle would come billowing across the night. My father would stop and listen with the lantern sending out a mushroom of yellow light. I would listen to. It was almost ex- citing to think about the big,, snorting train that tore through the countryside at a fantastic rate of speed. It was so easy to dream with boyish enthusiasm about riding in the warm comfort of the train I used to try and imagine all the places that train would go to. There were other times too when the train sounds came stealing across the farm like soft waves' of sound. In the spring when the air was humid and warm and the world had an air of growing things about it, the sound of. THE LEGION'S CALL FOR TOTAL VICTORY In 1941, when the fate of civilization was hanging in the balance. we ad- dressed to the Prime Minister of Can- ada 'The Legion's Call for Total War," urging the immediate, complete and scientific mobilization of all our resdurces-spiritual, intellectual, finan- cial, agricultural, industrial. Many of its proposals were afterwards carried out by the Government. We now address ourselves to the People of Canada because Total Vic- tory is still to be won. Victory in the field must be matched by victory at home, over .everything that weakens and divides the nation. The things that weakens can be found in every- one; every Canadian, therefore, can start with himself. Every Canadian must accept his responsibility. Our greater task lies ahead. Total Victory demands a total effort for a new world, worthy of the sacrifice our comrades have made. We, as veterans, believe that we must fight for this new world here in Canada. The Legion issues this Call for Total Victory in the name of the hundreds of thousands of Canadian men and wo- men who, in past wars and in the war just ended, have served their King and Country. As Canadians and mem- bers of the British Empire Service League, we are proud of the role play- ed by the British Commonwealth and Empire in the struggle for freedom and pledge ourselves to do our part in creating the great moral forces re- quired for Total Victory. • After the First Great War most of us felt that our efforts were finished with the winning of the war. Now we know that the job is not over because military victory has been achieved. The conflict will continue with the for ces of good and evil arrayed against each other. For Canada, having won the war of arms, has still to achieve the ideals of peace. Total Victory will come only when these ideals have been achieved. Our fathers inspired by a vision of Canada devoted to the service of God, chose as their motto, "He shall have dominion from sea to sea." This is the heritage we have received, and on this heritage we must build our ...nation. The children of our country, who are its greatest poential wealth, must grow up in this fighting faith. They will then respond to the challenge to live to make their country great. This pur- pose will give them the incentive to learn the dignity of work the value of a task well done and the dynamic qual- ities of teamwork. Only thus can nat- ional unity be achieved. Hundreds of thousands of houses will need to be built. Yet homes are more than houses, and Canadians have the challenging task of creating the kind of homes and family life that will make this nation strong, clean, united. To built the Canada we want is an the train whistle Would come. I was boy enough to imagine passengers sit- ting out on the observation platforms smoking and talking and being whisk- ed along by the magical conveyance that was a train. In addition to all this, the sound of a train whistle does have something about it. Possibly it's the strangest combination sound in all the world. There are times when it sounds lonely and lost and it freezes up inside you when you hear it. There are other times when a train whistle sounds frie- ndly as if inviting you to come and. hop on for a trip. There are other times when it sounds like a series of " chuckles, . . .almost derisive. Needless •to say the sound of trains• rumbling along and most of all the sound of train whistles has always fascinated me. It sounds good when a. man stops, cocks an ear for the sound and then checks his watch and, says, "There goes the 3.10 . . right on- time too". ;.,
