Buy War Savings Stamps
The people of Ontario, regardless
of brace and creed, are all united in
the one belief that Britain must win
the war. Azld that the people of this
Province not only must, but are
willing to do their utmost to attain
that end, however near or far off
that end may be.
We are all likewise agreed that the
successful prosecution of the war
means the spending of money, more
money than we have ever. spent. And
that money, must be raised before it
is spent..
The Canadian Government,
.through its issue of War Savings
Stamps, has given the people a sim-
ple as well as a large opportunity of
raising huge sums of money that
could be made available for the pur-
pose of purchasing war supplies; for
thetraining of men for the air, sea
and land forces, and for many •other
things which a ' successful prosecu-
tion needs and demands.
It seems to us, however, that as
yet, our people have in large mea-
sure, failed to realize what a tre-
mendous aid to the Government and
what an immense fund it would pro-
vide, if the people would, only adopt
the buying of war stamps . en masse.
Perhaps the people have as yet
°failed to realize what a two-way pro-
position the ` purchase of War Sav-
ings . Stamps is. Not only would it
prove of immense aid to the prosecu-
tion of the war, but it would prove
to be a methodical and very simple
means of saving money for the peo-
ple themselves.
The opportunity; is not confined to
people of means, or those moderate-
ly well off. On the contrary, it is op-
en to every boy, every girl, every
man and every woman, because the
sum of twenty-five cents — the
cost of a stamp —is at some time or
other, and more frequently, than not
....in the possession of every one of
these Canadian people;
Habits are •, veryeasilyformed.
Why not form a good. habit? That
of buying War Savings Stamps.
There are many ways of doing it.
Form the habit of taking your
change in the stores in stamps. In-
struct your banker to buy a war
savings certificate every month or
every . week and deduct the amount
from your account. You would nev-
er miss the money, and would be a'
larger gainer when 'the certificates
reached their maturity in the course
of a few years.
For youth we know of no better
way of forming a habit of system-
. tic saving. A quarter here and a
quarter there has an amazing way
sof piling up when it is not spent, and
War Savings Stamps would make ' a
private bank that could not be tap-
ped or a youthful bank account that
could not be drawn on—for qu
some time.
Buy these War Savings Stamps
and keep on buying them. It is a two
way benefit. It enables you ' to do
your bit in the war and at the same
time do something worth while for
yourself.
Tragedy Near, Home
Tragedy came to this county on
Saturday afternoon last when two
youryoimg Englishmen, both members of
the itoyat •Air Force stationed at the
Port Albt Navigation School, were
d
o e1 iii Lake Huron.
onby6 Cad is, the fact that both
/nMn had coigne safely

el prove to -rove treacherous: for air.
>Knen in the air, but ,,even; pe ha s.
more treacherous for the uninitiate
airmen along the shores of our
Great Lakes, like Lake Huron.
Tragely from a Similar cause is
not likely to visit the great air school
at Port. Albert again, but it is very
sad to think that such a lesson could
only be taught by a fatal ternainatiop
to the lives of two gallant young air-
men, totally unexperienced in our
Canadian winter weather conditions.
-We believe it would be wise also
for the authorities to strongly stress
upon these young strangers from the
British Isles and elsewhere, where
climate conditions are so different
from ours in the winter months, that
danger lurks on land as well as in
the water.
Everything is strange to these
young airmen and it is natural for
them to explore the unknown, but
they should not be allowed to range
too far afield singly or in small num-
bers as they were `on Saturday last,
because great depth of snow .and be-
low zero weather might prove just
as fatal on land as too thin ice on
water..
This is the first tragedy that has
fallen on either of our great Huron
;lying schools, and, perhaps, because
of that we feel it all the more keen-
ly. May we be spared any future
ones.
THE
9
Christmas Trees A Business
rro most of us a Christmas tree -is
just a Christmas tree, but to the
Canadian Government, such trees,
are a business,,and this year particu-
larly, will help materially to estab-
lish' foreign exchange for the pur-
chase ofwar supplies. And in addi
tion, will supply a source of revenue "
to the Canadian farmer.
According to the Dominion For-
est Service, Department of Mines
and Resources, five million evergreen
trees were cut in Canada last year
for exportation to the United States
and from these-a-reveniie of $574,235
.,'a.s derived. This year the number
is expected to., be increased, with a
Consequent increase- in value. •
The City of New York alone im-
ported- seven hundred and fifty• -thou-
sand. trees and the Pacific Coast
States offer a large market for trees
grown in British Columbia.
Better still, we are assured by the
. Dominion Forest Service that Can-
ada's growing Christmas tree, trade
offers no serious threat to our Cana-
dian forests, for it points out that
under proper mailagetment; the .pres-
ent 'cut of trees. could be produced
for all tune on an area of less than
two -_hundr...edl_square miles.
In Canada one million Christmas
trees are used 'annually to decorate
Canadian homes during the Christ-
±nas season, but this, is a harvest
reaped by the -farmer and not by the
Government.

Have Learned To Save
Anyone reading Old Country pa-
pers and , correspondence could not.
help but be struck by the fact that
the people of ,the. British Isles 'have
become a- saving people.
It would appear that there is not
a thing wasted by the Old Country
people these days. The civilian pop-
ulation, including even 'small boys
and girls, do their bit by saving ev-
everything -- used, papers, clothing,
rags, paper carton4, tin and alumin-
um dishes—in fact every kind of
junk.
And as for, gasoline, or petrol, ,as
it is called over there, here is a story
that illustrates the point. A little
British boy, a. war -time guest in the
United States, was taken by, his
hosts on , an automobile tour of the
countryside. When asked his opin-
ion he remarked, "Jolly fine drive,"
then continued, "but what a waste
of petrol."
For, the past week we have been
watching cars and trucks in this dis-
trict bucking drifts and trying to do
the impossible on 3 our snow roads
and highways, and we have been
wondering if our British Allies"
would call its "jolly wasters of
petrol."
Of course we have a very legiti-
mate e ease: We .have to go places,
and,, naturally, we have to use our
cars to get there, even, if it is only
down town..

It seems like only yesterday that
'day when; in .company with the older
pupils from the sclrbol on the next

ter supper I streaked for the only
safety I knew . . . grandfather's
place; just two farms down the line.
Grandfather was 'milking the .cows

proceedaed with one of his lumbering

get between grandfather and the cow.
For at least ten minute's the argu-

Grandfather stepped to light hie'

In a little elbile he started to laugh
and he said, "If 'som'ebody' had pull-

That didn't 'help matters an'y, I sup-

"Do you remember the day you tied
