Our marines, soldiers, sailors and air cadets are exposed con- stantly to the ideals and loyalties of the armed services. The uniforms, the flag and the spirit of their'or- gailization; their .ship, their batta- lion or their squadron, welds them into a co-ordinated whole andbuilds enthusiasm for the great' task ahead. 0 This is not true in civilian life. We go about our daily tasks in our separate ways, We may lose sight of the big objective. We must stay forever consciousof the fact we are fighting for worthwhile and glori- ous < principles which are worth dy- ing for. Then, too, we might re- member that every time we do our task well, every time we make the organization in which we -work move more smoothly, every day we stay well, every time we try to lift the spirit of those with whom we come in contact, every time we try to normalizelife, we are contributing to. thenational effort. In the countries that have experi- enced bombing, civilian morale has been no 'problem. C'omnion danger and common hate have drawn the people .close together. Frustration is the ' greatest danger to health and morale. You will weather the days ahead when your resentment will, burn high and your hands will itch to take. some active part in the battle if you will translate some of this emotion and energy into action. It doesn't matter what this ac- tion is.' It may be rolling bandages, giving a pint of blood, opening your home on Sunday to soldiers from near -by camps, or helping at the Red Cross, Do something, not only for the good of your country, but also for the•sake of your own' health and Mental poise. v Presentation to Pilot Offic= er Stanley Yungblutt Relatives and neighbours gathered recently at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Yungblutt to • honour their Son, Pilot Officer Stanley Yungblutt, home on furlough after an absence of two years; during which time he was overseas and made thirty sus oesfful operlational trips over oc- cupied Europe. The evening was spent in playing cards and social chat. Later in the evening an address was read by Ray- mond Snell and Louis Johnston pre- sented Stanley 'with a Parker pen and pencil set and a writing case, on behalf of those present. Stanley replied very feelingly and in a few weII-chosen words, thanked all present for the gifts which were presented to him. Dear Stanley: We, your friends, relatives and neighbours, have gathered here to- night to spend 'a social hour with you before you leave to resume your services for King and Country,. `We were all se happy to learn that you were granted a furlough to Canada. We congratulate you upon your wonderful success on operational trips over parts of Europe and upon the honours which you have won in receiving the rank of. Pilot' Officer. As a token of our good wishes and our appreciation' of your services for us and for our country,we ask you to accept these gifts. As you use them, may they ever remind you of the folks back home. We hope and pray that the time Will not .be long distant before we shall have the opportunity to wel- come you and all the boys of'our community back homewhen peace is restored, tq our land. As you return to duty, we pray 'that God's guardian angels will watch over you and keep you from all ham. • as .they have done in the past. ' Signed on behalf of the community Beth Govier, . Beth.
