MORE BRITISH PEOPLE-
EXPECTED
New reports from Great Britain
during the past few weeks indicate
that there is a tremendous increase
in the number of people who intend
to emigrate to Canada as soon as
posSible. • Frankly, it sounds like
()food news to us.
Our country has benefited vast-
ly because of the, newcomers who
have arrived here froni Many of the
countries of iurope. Most of us
,are becoming quite familiar wittrthe
fine qualities of citizenship to be
found in the Nev -Canadians from
Holland, for example, It seems quite
apparent that the average neWscpim
er from Hungary will add much to
the richness, of Canadian life and
culture, MA to mention the dozen or
so other nationalities represented in
the great annual flow of immi-
grants to Our land. .
Being,, as we are, Anglo-Saxons
by inheritance and culture, we do
welcome more people from the Brit-
ishIsles, one of the main reasons be-
• ing, of course, that they can be more
(wieldy assimilated into our daily
lives because there is no language
barrier to. surmount., Generally
speaking the people of Britain -have
proven to be of the finest possible
calibre as Citizens of the many lands
they have populated Over the centur-
ies. In the face of a tabor force which
has been, totally inadequate for. our
needs, Canada may be thankful that
so many Britishers plan to come to
our- shores.
BEWARE OF VETERANS
CALENDARS
• (Aurora Banner) —
Before so very long the firSt
robin will ina.ke its appearance. And,
around about the same time, the
first of the crowd of gentry intent
on making an "easy buck" will hit
the road, looking for suckers.
This year will be an exception if,
included among that group," there
are not individuals posing .as ex-
service men, offering 'so-called "Vet-
erans' calendars,"
The racket is one of the most
vicious of the "easy trioney" projects
because it relies on public sympathy.
Few are the people who like to say
'no to men who, presumably, are not
in a position to make a living
through ordinary means because of
their service. ,
'Generally speaking, there is little
need for such sympathy. Searching
investigations in the past have prov-
ed that few of those offering the
tavvdy calendars are entitled to con-
sideration because of their service.
'Many are not — and this has been
disclosed beyond doubt — men who
have seen any service at alL The
so-called 4i.veterans calendars" are
ptoduced en masse by firms which
sell,them to racketeers, -who in turn
trade on 'public gullibility and sym-
pathy. Generally speaking, the cal-
endars themselves are of poor qual-
ity, cos.ting only a minute proportion
of the quartets, and half dollars
which sympathetic Canadians pay
to those who peddle them,
The, Canadian Legion, which ,has
