The Spirit of
he Pioneer
Mother
F1aineSAnewT0'Y'
THINK 'BACK. to the old days — when Canada
was young..
Think of the high courage, the indomitable will of
those pioneer women. Within the stockade or in
the open field, they toiled—Yes, fought -by the
side of their men for the safeguarding of everything
they held dear.
In the hearts of the women of Canada, thisold spirit
flames anew today ! Gone are the heavy muskets,
the log barricades— but the love of freedom, the
stubborn resolve to win through at all costs — these
things remain unchanged, -unchangeable !
Grimly quenching their tears, mothers say "God
bless you' to their fighting sons—everywhere young
women are serving where duty calls—the women of
Canada are bound together in one common cause.
In thousands of Canadian homes, women are revising.
their family budgets, planning new economies, mak-
ing
aking extra sacrifices—so that more and more money
will be available for the purchase of Victory Bonds.
They know — these women of Canada — that every
dollar loaned now means more tanks—more guns—
more planes—more ships—more of everything which
is needed to smash Hitlerism and bring Peace to all
the family' hearths of the world.
