-...-.__ r -77- When has the German people ever broken its words?” â€"November 1934. “VVars of revenge are out of date. In the ohi days a deliberate maker of war may have been a patriot; today he is a trafior,1eading lfis people in the vaHey of the shadovv of death â€"â€" Iqobody in this Gernqany, nobody in this unified and disciplined State wants war. Moreover, nobody here “an ever take any step to cause “wu:”â€"â€"Blay, 1935. “Germany will never break the peace of Europe. Af- ter three years I can regard the struggle for German equality concluded today. We have no territorial demands to make in Europe.”â€"-March, 1936. “Germany is an island of peace.”â€"October, 1937. “Germany wants only peace. She does not want to add to the sorrows of other nations.”â€"March, 1938. “All we want is peace and our right to live and for our people the chance to work.”-â€"November, 1938. “Only the warmongers think there will be a war. I think there will be a long period of peace.”â€"â€"January, 1939. (3 *--~ Cross again faces a similar task. And this time it’ faces this duty with the added responsibility of a peace time program which has become an important factor in Can- adian life and must be continued. The Allies’ rejection of any peace overtures from Hit- ler if Hitler’s word had to be any consideration in them is not surprising to anyone who reads the record of the Ger- man Chancellor’s career. Look at these‘pious declarations of Hitler policy during the past five Wars: 1 nu Through the efforts of the Canadian Red Cross Soâ€" ciety, $9,073,485 was raised for its purposes, in addition to $6,250,000 for the British Red Cross. Supplies totall- ing a value of approximately $20,000,000 were sent over- seas, in addition to the funds which were devoted to fin- ancing hospitals, equipping and manning them, purchasing and operating ambulance units, etc. The finest hospital in France, according to many medical authorities, was the Red Cross hospital built and equipped by Canada at Vin- cennes, near Paris. The record of the last war was accomplished only by the goodwill of the Canadian people, the willingness of other organizations to coâ€"operate with the Red Cross and eliminate confusion, overlapping and duplication, and the generosity of donations from rich and_poor. The Red YONGE STREET HAZARDS The number of serious accidents on Yonge Street emphasizes the hazards of travelling the highways in these days of high speed traffic. There are too many accidents and too many lives lost. Experts can theorize from now until doomsday but our own opinion is that the cause of most accidents is too much speed. The only way to cut the speed is to penalize those who do not observe the speed limit. More strict enforcement of our traffic laws is ne- cessary if our highways are not going to be more danger- ous than the western from in a modern war. The district is now served by capable and efficient traffic officers but the stretch of highway from Bradford to Toronto should have at least twice as many officers on duty. DON’T JUDGE IN HASTE . Due to war conditions prices in many lines have ad- vanced and business men in some instances are being charged with taking advantage of the situation to prey upon the public. We are in no way condoning profit- eering, but we should not judge, hastily. Those who profiteer or hoard deserve the most strict censure but we should not call the local retailer a lot of names before getting all the facts. The retailer is subject to market conditions over which he has no control. He has to accept prices fixed by producers and wholesalers, and must order his prices accordingly or go out of business. Investiga- tions are being made by federal inspectors both as to over- charging and hoarding. Until their reports are received householders should withhold condemnation and have faith in the integrity and honesty of their local traders. It enlists voluntary assistance for every purpose. The offices maintained overseas during the last World War were manned by volunteers, who operated numerous ser- vices such as Prisoners of War Department, preparation of casualty lists, notification to relatives of men arriving in hospitals, and the supplying of these men with any needs, and countless other functions apart from its prim- ary duty of_ co:operating with the Army MedicalACorps. BOOST DON’T KNOCK A good citizen is one who at every opportunity boosts his home community and looks for the bright spots and not the clouds. The knocker in every community magni- fies the shortcomings and overlooks the many good things which he might praise. Give us more boosters and fewer knockers and your community will prosper. It’s a good time to recognize the fact that Christmas is not very far away. Shop early! That is good advice even at this early stage. As a matter of fact purchasers of Christmas gifts will find that they can get a better selection right now than they will be able to get a week before Christmas. Then there is the bogey of rising prices staring the people in the face. Prices are advancing and in many cases have already advanced. So it’s not too early to repeat: SHOP NOW! Red Cross is an efficient international organization, with leading industrialists, financiers, newspapermen and members of other professions on its executive committees. It is operated in a businesslike way, with every action passing under the scrutiny of these voluntary active exe- cutives. Its administrative personnel has been trained by experience, and by the very fact that this personnel func- tions during peace time as an efficient, competent organâ€" ization. Branches of the Red Cross Society have been organ- ized in Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan Townships and many other municipalities throughout Ontario with the aim of carrying on in the most effective manner help for this organization in their wonderful work.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY EXAMPLES IN TRUTH “THE LIBERAL” \VE SAID IT FIRST! TELEPHONE 9 Result of this was that there ap- peared in the society columns such items as: Mrs. G. Mc entertained re- cently at an afternoon tea which was held somewhere in Canada. An unknown number of guests were present and what sort of a time they had could not 'be learned. Then, turning to other local news, the Reader learned that: A prominent member of a cer- tain governing fbody was report- ed to ‘be in the hospital to-day suffering from head injuries sustained when he fell down- stairs three weeks ago when leaping into action in response to an air raid drill alarm, or while walking in his sleep, or in an effort to chase the cat downstairs. Full details were unavailalble. Neighlbors, who would suspect the worst, would assume that it was Mrs. Prominent Citizen who was engaged) in chasing him downstairs at the time, would certainly Wink Know- ingly whenever they saw his Wife pass by. And that was what censorship did. It made Everybody suspect the Worst. Finally the Official Cens-or went so haywire that he would permit no names and addresses of any kind to be published. Turning to the Market News, the eager market news reader would read: Markets to-d'ay were fluctu- ating. In some commodities, which cannot .be mentioned, the trend was downward, although censorship officials ,said it would not be in the public interest to say how much. lCensors need Imagination and Perspective. And yet the censor mentioned in this Fanle had little of Either. And he also banned any Specific Details. His idea of his job was to see that the public got as Little News as possible. Particularly fed up were the sports fans who would open their favorite pages to read such items as: The papers, of course, faithfully followedl his instructions because they were loyal, and also because Very Fed editors wish to land in jail. Consequently the public got pretty Fed Up. Every day he would sit and think of More things that the public must Never learn about. One of the fighters, who was said to have been a person somewhat resembling a heavy- weight fighter, .made contact at frequent intervals with his 01p- rponent, who also appeared to some onlookers as something like a heavyweight in' action. An unmentionable numlber of blows were struck, after which one of the participants in the alleged fracas succumbed to complete inertia. The winner was announced, ‘but his name cannot be revealed at this date, censorship officials announced. Most fed‘ up of all was the Cen- sor’s Wife, who, one day while he was hard at work with his Black Pencil, caused the following note to be sent to him: There has, it is reported on good authority, been a new ar- rival in the family of a certain government official whose name cannot be disclosed at the pre- sent time of writing. The ar- rival was an infant, belonging to either the male or female sex. He, or she, weighed a certain number of pounds and ounces. Further details were lacking. After this the censor Got Wise to himself and turned out to be a fairly Reasonable sort of Gent. By V. V. M. in Winnipeg Tribune This is the fable of a certain Cen- sor who got a job during War Time and was given complete authority over the newpsapers and had no hesitation in telling the-m what they could, and could not, print. Usually this particular Censor, who was the Head Man of his de- partment, was busy telling the Ipapâ€" ers what they could Not print. Beeton Women’s Institute emerg- ency committee raised $33.25 for the Red Cross fund with a tag sale at the fair there last Week.
