WHILE we celebrate this Season of Goodwill in comfort, our
brothers, sisters and comrades across the sea live 'neath the
shadow of death death let loose from the skies by the monstrous
hordes of Nazidom and Paganism.
At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to
those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our
Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents ...
those valiant men who patrol the skies, man the ships,stand by the guns,
and place their all — even unto life itself, between us and the enemy.
How can we pay our debt to them?
The least we can do is to Save every dollar that we can and lend it to
Canada, so that Canada can provide everything in munitions and
equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our
civilization.
Our savings should be invested in War Savings Certificates, and we
should continue to save and invest in War Savings Certificates until
Victory is won.
The widow's mite counts as much as the more fortunate ones' plenty,
as evidence of service, sacrifice and determination.
So then, whatever else you do at this Christmas season, save and.
invest in War Savings Certificates. The very consciousness of your
service in the Defence of your homeland will make greater your
personal enjoyment of Christmas.

BRITAIN'S FLEET AIR

The crippling of the Italian fleet at
Taranto is the second important.

Major 10, A. del'. Robertson,
the authority on 'termlantics.
"The first:" he says, "was the ,i

to combine the duties of fighter and

ship -borne aircraft (with the escep•
tion of the Sea Gladiator) have to

are other 1requirements which detract

them, class for class, inferior to

son the Italians have never built

bombers with bases of Sa'dinia. Pan.

cover the whole Mediterranean,
"However," says Major Robertson,
"the Fleet Air Arm has recently
acquired a specialist .lighter. the

altogellier better than any other
