Freewill gifts to Canada’s war cause range from far and _wide. The Lions Club of Albuquerque, New Mexico, sends $2 to “buy half a dozen screws for that Spitfire of the Canadian Government”. Another resident of Albu- querque sends a dollar. From Portland, Maine, comes an- other dollar. Two Canadians in Memphis, Tennessee for- ward 5100; a lady in Eugene, Oregon, $10. Employees of Robert Michell Co., Montreal, contribute $2270.75. A five dollar bill, picked up on the office floor of the Daily Times Journal, Fort William (the owner could not be found) helps along the War Fund. The British Columbia divi- sion, Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, cut down expenses of their annual meeting and send along $5300. His Excellency, the Governor General of Canada: “We are fighting not only our own battle for our own free- ,dom. There are millions of people throughout the world, and especially in occupied Europe, looking to us and to us alone for their deliverance. Never have we shouldered such an immense responsibility; never has so much de- pended on how we acquit ourselves. Let us have no ‘craven fear of being great’, but let us gird ourselves and steel our hearts and clench our fists and prove to all mankind, as we are proving every day, that We have never .been so great as in this hour of trial; and let us pay the debt we owe to our fathers that begat us by ensuring that our children and their children, and all those who now suffer humiliation and defeat, will be beholden to us for their salvation, their freedom and their civilization.”â€"Address at Toronto, January 20th, 1941. FROM FAR AND NEAR COME GIFTS TO WAR CAUSE Farm problems are to the fore these days, and a dele- gation representing the Canadian Federation of Agricul-‘ ture waited on the Dominion Cabinet Monday. All mem- bers of the Canadian Government attended the meeting which indicated that the administration is anxiOus to meet the farmer in solving the problems facing the Agricultur- ists. There are many phases of the subject to consider and many obstacles to overcome, but there is general agree- ment that everyone would like to see the farmer more prosperous. The big obstacle is that we are at war, and our world market is entirely cut off, with only Canada and Great Britain as a market for our Agricultural pro- duce. Until markets .open again it is difficult to see a real sound solution to the farm problem. Canadians ask a full-out war effort. Make that full- out war effort possible by devoting regularly a portion of your income to the job of carrying on the war. This is a very small sacrifice to ask of Canadians, but at the mo- ment it is vital and necessary to our war effort. TAXES BY INSTALMENT For the first time in Canadian history, income tax payers will be given the opportunity of meeting their pay- ments on the installment plan, without interest, accord- ing to an announcement by the Income Tax "Division of the Department of National Revenue. This is an importâ€" ant step, because income taxes now affect a greater num- ber of people than ever before. Nearly one million Can- adians must pay income taxes this year, and this new plan has been devised to assist not only the new taxpayers, but also those who have been paying the tax for some time, and whose taxes have been materially increased. It Will also assist the taxpayer to continue purchasing war savings certificates and war bonds. We store up spending power against the time when the war is over and the war factories suddenly shut down. Then people will cash their Certificates and start buying all those peace-time needs they have been doing without during the war. And peace-time industrial firms, faced with a sudden increased demand for manufactures of all kinds, will then be forced to hire workmen released from war industries in order to meet the demand. The policy is a long-sighted one. Put simply, this is what happens when we refuse to spend all the money we earn in war time and invest our savings in Certificates: By placing emphasis on the sale of War Savings Cerâ€" tificates, our leaders at Ottawa are giving almost every- body an opportunity to have a financial stake in the fu- ture of their country. HELP WIN THE WAR You will be called upon during the next few weeks or so to help with the campaign to increase the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certificates. Help cheerfully, will- ingl',r and generously. It is a privilege to have a real part in winning this war. We all can’t pilot planes, but all can give of their means in financing the production of war nz'atcr There is more to this forthcoming campaign than raising 20 million dollars a year. It is likely true that the Government could scrap this job being done by tens of thousands of voluntary workers, add 120 million dol- lars to the objective of the next war loan and get the money. But if that were done, only those with higher incomes and capital reserve would be able to participate. Hundreds of thousands in the lower income groups would then be forced to pay up through taxation alone, from which there would be no return. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS DRIVE The most important news before the eyes of Canad- ian people at present is the activity across the country in preparation for the campaign in February to enlist at two million men and women as regular war savers. The campaign will be nation-wide and Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and surrounding districts are preparing to take part in the drive. It is planned to canvass every home to seek enlistment in this necessary cause. Canadians may take pride in the knowledge that shrewd economists throughout the outside world are watch- ing Canada’s war effort with intense interest. Comment from the United States and England in recent weeks in~ dicates a growing belief that Canada’s method of carryâ€" ing out her economic program in war time sets a new hallmark in nation management.

NOT OUR BATTLE ONLY “THE LIBERAL” FARM PROBLEMS The choir of Thomhill United‘ Church is sponsoring a program to be held in the Unitedl Church on the evening of Friday, March 7th. We will have with us on that occasion the very excellent and well-known Junior, Choir of West United Church, Toronto, Herman Fowler, Director. These young people present a pro- gram of very excellent quzhity, and' you are well‘ advised to keep this treat in store. Our organist and his good wife are arranging a party to be held early in February in the SS. room, for the members of the choir, and it gives promise of being a most in- tenesting and’ enjoyable occasion, especially in view of the fact that all guests are to come attired in the garments of childhood; Can’t you julsit imagine what cute and friendly little choir girls‘ and choir boys we will be seeing! A Week from next Tuesday the members of Th-omhxill Y.P..U. have been invited’ to join the young peo- ple of Queen Strent United Church. Toronto, in an evening of fellowship and service together. It will mean a lot to the young people of this par- Iticular church in this congested! and most difficult area to have our young people with them as. their guests on this occasion. and’ we do hope that a 9500le number of our young people will he aihle to attend; Aibout twenty of our young ne‘onie went to Carlton St. Uniteri‘ Chum-h llaslt Sunday night to hear the stirrâ€" ing and challengiriz message of the Rev. “Bob” McClure. M.D., who is anout to return to China to resume his very strenuous and dangerous duties in the war-torn area of that country. We found anaitineg‘ us‘ in the lobby of the church a goodly nu‘mibei~ of the young- peeple who come up to Thornhill‘ from the city regularly to be with us in our even- ing services and’ Fellowship Periods, and with them several of their ifriend's, as well as some newcomers to the city from places so far re- ‘moved‘ as Saul-t Ste. Marie, Gore Bay, “Iron: Bridge, The-sisaion and others. 'It was grandi to be in the presence of suichv‘a splendid and sincere and: earnest group of young people, and‘ we think it was good for them to be there. Wish you could have been with us! Just a few announcfiments to add to those of the previous week: A lastâ€"minute rcmindler of the fact that the Thornhil'l branch of the RedI Cross Society will \be holding its an- nual meeting in the Thorn-hill Pull)- li‘c School on Friday afternoon- at three o'clock and‘ that all are welâ€" come The executive of the Toronto Cen- tre Presbytery Young People’s Un- ions will 'be the guests of the Thornâ€" hil-ll Y.P.U. next Monday night, and will :be in charge of a portion ofjth‘e evening’s activities. A college paper a few years ago offered a prize for “the best devfim- itionI of life”, and: the campus wits and! would-tbe-cynics had a won-derâ€" 'fiu1v time. Here are a few definitions which won honour-able mention: “Life is a bad joke which isn’t even funâ€" 1vy.” “Life is a disease for which the only cure is death.” “Life is a jail sentence which we get for the crime of being born." These thoughts can 'be dismissed as merely adoles- c-elnt prancing, and yet they may stand as an indication of a lack of sense of high meaning to existence. ‘Lt is hard) to keep clear a sense of deep meaning in life unless it is put in a frame which pertains to the universe and the laws- which govern it, a cosmic frame. That is just *exactly what the Scriptures have done, through all the prophets and last andl rmost completely through its record of .the life of Jesus Christ. -He has set life in the frame of a on the Easter truths, and the sacred canbata, Darkness and Dawn, to be present-ed by our own‘ choir, assist- ed} by outside artists.
