“Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto Him, Lord, thou knowest all things’! thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him. Feed my sheep.”â€"(From the Chris,- tian Science Monitor). On'splendid estates still secure against marauding armies, in comfortable suburbar homes to which no terror comes, in workmen’s cottages where existence is still tol- erable, and even in tenements where want seems less formidable than the foe which strikes from the air â€" there' is common urge. People meet in one neighborhood of charity as they read of their brothers’ needs and supâ€" ply them. Whether they give‘ out of gratitude or com- passion, love or pity, matters little. All these qualities of mercy are akin. and the healing of sore need with them makes all men kin. - “Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto Him, Lord, “Impossible to exaggerate.” Thus responsible observ- ers report on the refugee problem. “Probably 5,000,000 French and Belgians are already on the march, homeless, Without food, many wounded and sick.” “Feed my sheep.” The American Red Cross, rushing aid. has set up liason offices in Paris. Merciful airplanes aid the'race of succor against destruction. Herbert Hoover once more heads a Belgian Relief Commission. Even the fighting men, their path of operations confused and obstructed by the hordes of the homeless, give what they canâ€"toler- ance, compassion, precious room on vital roadsâ€"at risks that only those who have seen the military operations can estimate. “Feed my lambs.” Along strafed miles of France’s roads flock the fear- scourged refugees.“ Out of years of labour, years of sav- ing, years of hope, this one has salvaged a suitcase of be- longings, but this one only a cardboard box of small needs, and that one simply a prayer. In Britain they are giving of their last farthing to help win this war. In Nazi Germany they are giving ev- erything â€"â€" are having everything taken from them, in- cluding their liberty â€" to win this war. Are we capable of less? Are we of weaker fibre? After all, a good investmentâ€"good interest on and security for our savingsâ€"is a small thing to be asked in this crisis. Small, pitifully small, in comparison to what we ask of those who go. to fight and die for us. At this hour, there is a poem which should have a poignant ap- peal to us: "What have I given, bold sailor of the sea, On Earth or Heaven, that you should die for me? What can I give, Oh soldier leal and brave, Long as I live, to pay the life you gave? What tithe or part can I return to thee, Oh! Stricken heart, that thou sh‘ould’st break for me? The Wind of Death for you hath slain life’s flowers. It withereth, God grant, all weeds in ours.” Our Government needs money, needs it desparately. Only by money, by what it can raise in taxes, by loans, and by these War Savings Certificates, can it help win the war. Therefore, if we believe the things we profess, if We are sincerely anxious to strike a blow for freedom, if we want, in short, to save Canada from the “night of barbarism” of which Mr. Churchill has spoken so solemn- ly, we must â€"â€" all of us who can â€" buy these certificates. Under this War Savings Certificates planâ€"described in Government advertisingâ€"a five dollar certificate may be purchased for four dollars; a ten dollar certificate for eight dollars; a twenty-five dollar certificate for twenty dollars; a fifty dollar certificate for forty dollars; a one hundred dollar certificate for eighty dollars. A gilt-edge security, and with "provisions for redemption before the date of maturity (they mature in 71/2 years) they are an admirable investment: simple, safe, profitable, fitting the smallest of budgets. But the real argument for War Savings Certificates is the opportunity they afford for war service. In the Great War we spoke of people “doing their bit”. Here, now, all of us are given the chance to do “our bit”. Peo- ple of small incomes, artisans, people too old for active war duties, even children -â€"â€"- 'all can strike a blow in this struggle by investing in these securities. Canadians today, in all ranks and walks of life, and of all ages, get the opportunity to provide “silver bullets”. It comes through War Savings Certificates. He was thinking of the savings of the people, of the money they could give to provide food and guns and shells for the Allied armies. In such circumstances mere every-day happenings and events pale in insignificance. Yet subject to national necessities it is in the interests of all that normal activi- ties continue. Our immediate duty is to do well the job at hand and keep our spirit right. We must maintain our cool, grim determination, that come what may, we must defend to the last our right to live as a free people. All cannot serve in the fighting forces of our nation, but all can support the agencies working for our National Safety. All can help the Red Cross and other organiza- tions engaged in war work, and support the war effort with money and service in any capacity we may be able to render. This s a time when National Service is a Na- tional Duty, yes a National Necessity. bullets”. The scroll of events in the world today unfolds so quickly it is difficult to write about them. On the other hand with events in Europe as they are it is difficult to write or think about anything else. Whether by the time this appears in print the Germans have over-run France, or whether the brave soldiers of the Allies have stopped the Hun offensive and the tide of battle has at last turned in our favor, there are for everyone of us dark days ahead. In such circumstances no effort is too great, no sacrifice excessive, to win the world, our world, from utter dis- aster. Still this is no time for panic. It is no time for defeatism. _ No disaster is irretrievable. By “blood, toil, tears and sweat” we must win. J.

The type of work, in singing, folk dancing, piano duets, solos, rhythm band and dancing was a credit to supervisor and teachers, showing an improvement over last year’s initial presentation and stim- ulating a desire to continue the stud- ies for another year.
