IN EVERY city, town and village throughout
Canada today there are gaps where once were
young men. They heard a call and put on navy
blue, khaki, horizon blue, and they have gone,
answering a call
They are missed —missed not only in their
homes but also'in.the business places which once
they filled.
They have gone from every institution in Canada;
but from none more than from the chartered banks.
There is hardly a branch office from coast to coast
which is not today the poorer—and the prouder .
—for those who thus laid down their pens.
But every branch manager, as he shook parting
hands, had this consolation: he could say to every
regular member of the staff of the bank, "We'll
hold your place. It will be waiting for you when
you come back. That is a pledge."
So it is the part of those who remain to serve
their country insuch a way that the promise may
be kept: 'We'll hold your place."

NAAFI 361.0SA organization and only
men in uniform are admitted. An

we were given seats in the front

This theatre seats 1,400 people and
in the four ni4).ts a. week that 11 is
