Let's Get Behind
This Idea!
More :than one hundred Ontario
municipalities are going "all out"
•this Suananer in connection with the
Homecoming Week, idea whe• h bad
Its genesis a short time ago )n
Orillia. Hach municipality of • the
hundred, •through a 'committee of
leading citizens and the direct effort
o itudividuals, endeavours, to get ln
touch with former residents now
living in. the 'United States. An in-
vitation is matended to them—end
to their Erten& as well—to come
home to Ontario, during the first
week of July. ;Mils particular time
was decided upoa for two reasons:
Canada's national holiday, the first,
and America's meional holiday, the
fourth, fall in the sane week—in the
laeter case on a Friday. It is also a
period; when Ontario endoyis its most
favourable weather of the year fram
the standnoint of out-ofeloore recrea-
tion. 1 711Yrigni
Stressed in these invitations is
the opportunity Homecoming Week
will provide to meet old friends, to
see the old, once-famillar places and
to enjoy a grand Ontario vacation.
Iffcalt toevat, village and hamlet in,
Ontario has its quota of former
citizens who now live in the Cutter'
States; it is estimated that in the
Detroit area alone there ere today
MOM tban 200000 former Orsterians
and their families. In the past we
used to be able to visit back and
forth at will, but the war has Chang-
ed all that. To -day, Canadians must
stay at home conserving American
funds for war purchases across tha
border.
If every Ontario citizen were to
write to six friends or relatives le
the United States extending an In-
vitation for a visit this Summer, this
country would benefit to an incalcul-
able extent, tar and above any Int-
-mediate monetary considemtion. We
need missionary work done over
'there. ,Sinister Perces have been
aot0ve in the U.S. to discourage
travel in Cendada and 'sad to relate,
they have met with much success.
Stories have been spread—and be-
lieved—that Americans cannot enter
or leave Canada wibhout passports
that they are liable to internment
once here, that their personal ef-
feots, cameras, etc., are subject Le
confiscation that gasoline is either
nnobtainialbile or strictly rationedi
that food is poor and scarce, that
Candad,a does not want visitors
'while she is at wan No amount paid
advertising has been able to .remove
into the fill effects a this
•campaign upon the mind of the
mospeotive visitors But your letters
can help tremendously.
Whet better way to set these
-stories, at rest than to play host to
as mealy a our Americancousins
as !possible this summer? Show
Ahem that .Canada at war is still a
denrocnacy and a mighty pleasant
vne.to live in that we are, above all
friendly neighbors whose interests,
aim, hopes and fears are commoll
with their own; that we want thelr
friendship and their help and that
-we deserve it,
Bach Americanwho comes
'home', this Summer is going to be
a missonary for :Clanada—and for
• 13ritaln—when he returns. He'll be
-telling his friends about our fine
vacationland, our friendly people,
our grand fldhing and hunting, our
'natural. 'unspoiled sceftery, our mag-
nificent highways. And he'll be
Sprea,ding the idea that a Canada at
'war is still, a Canada where the
derinonferfaitic ideal lis funittbnlng

So lets get, ,behind this Home..

tleocls acquaintances and relatives
In. the United States. Tell them
limit yeti want to see them this
'Summer, Let them know that they

or restriction of any sort, that their
Americandollar will buy more than

FOR EVERY CANADIAN who sails the deep, for every
airman who flashes through the skies; and for every
other man in the fighting forces, the prayers of
the nation "rise like a fountain, night and day."
In times of crisis our people stand steadfast. In
daily devotions they renew the flame of faith and
arm with unseen powers their warriors in the field.
Oftentimes they discern the Unseen Hand.
Witness the miracle of Dunkirk. Witness, too, in
the darkest hours the emergence of great inspiring
figures to steady the ranks of Democracy and fire
its courage and confidence.
Church bells are ringing throughout Canada
calling men and women to worship and sacrifice
in defence of our freedom, the sanctity of our
homes and the future of our children.

Bonds.
