In the trenches where men are fighting, and in the hones and in the fields where millions ase starving; in the numbing winds, in the hip -high muck of flooded wastelands, in .the bombed cities and pestilence ridden areas of the inter- iors; in the tents and the caves and the houses, in the .bomb shelters and Mountain paths ;in the river boats and bamboo shacks; the mighty heart of 'China beats bravely for liberty. This is the nation and these are the people who march with Canada on the soul -testing road of war. They're people like us, remember. They make bad slaves but superb soldiers; like Canadians, they do a lot of laughing and a lot of singing; they won't grovel under any man's boots; they believe in individuality and the dignity of man. It's a big country and they/re, a big people. They're generous to a fault and they aro tolerant of „the mistakes, and meanness and cupidity of smaller peo- ple. They are slow to anger and quick to forgive. But don't tamper with their free- dom. Hands off their liberty! For these they fight -at this point they fight furiously and hard and down to the last gasp! A great people and a great gener- ation deserve well of all of us, A gallant Ally who has for five years suffered war at is savage worst de- serves the support of us all. The need is today! The time to give is today! Help China today! The purchasing power of the Cana- dian dollar in China is tremendous. To appreciate what your gift through the Chinese War Relief Fund will make possible, consider the value of Cana- dian money in meeting China's basic needs: • $500 will endow 20 hospital beds for a year. 200 will provide 5,000 days of labor for a work -relief project. 100 will provide emergency treat- inent for 100 air raid victims. 50 will equip a field clinic. 25 will train a worker for active' service. 20 will keep one refugee alive for one year. 10 will provide clinical care for 100 refugees. The News -Record will receive sub- scriptions in support of the China War Relief Fund and acknowledge by pub listhing the contributor's name (unless he prefers to remain anonymous) in our columns. Official receipts would be issued from Headquarters for in- come tax purposes. If you wish to contribute by cheque make it payable to The Chinese War Relief Fund, 24 Elizabeth Street, Toronto, Ontario. V BRUCEFIELD CUT FLOWERS FLORAL DESIGNS For Ever'a'Occasion C. V.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for, ants of kindness messages of sympathy and beautiful floral offerings received from our friends and also those who loaned' their cars during our sacl be- reavement in the loss of a wife and mother. Mr. L. Cree and family. ably enlightened by the reception of a parcel. Do you know, I've neglected also to write and thanks you for the socks which you gave mother to send me. I am ashamed of myself but I suppose itis a case of better late than never Ron Peck and I were fortunate en- ough to have a couple of days to- gether last week. It certainly is good to renew old acquaintances especially so far from home. I've seen Willard Aiken and Fred Ancon quite a bit too and it is almost like good- old days in Clinton when we three are together again. I'm not looking forward to winter again in this country. It feels, so much colder here than in Canada. Although there is a fair amount of snow in Yorkshire it doesn't stay long be- cause the temperature seldom falls below freezing, but it feels like 40 below all the time. I'd better stop complaining and close my letter. Once again Pd like to say thank you so very much, for the gifts and I hope that everything goes well with all of your kindco- workers and you. Gratefully, Gordon Hearn. Note: --The parcel was from the Women's Institute, and the socks from the Clinton War Services Assoeia= tion. "The Cornwallis. Barracks," Halifax January 7th, 1943.
