Thousands of Canadians have been fascinated by her prize-Winning novel “Rebecca”. Thev The democratic ideal is the integrity of the individ- ual. United, steadfast, and believing in high traditions, democratic peoples are highly resolved to preserve this priceless heritage. -v--y-.., .-...-v v Lvu uuuuh. Untold generations ago, mankind began building tra- ditions. Now the nations of the Old World are engaged in a great struggle to see if those traditions shall continue to endure. The traditions of the democratic way of living face a time of supreme testing. The issue is clear cut. On one hand is the recogni- tion of the free human personality with its traditional rights of freedom in speech, religion, press, and the pur- suit of happiness by democratic methods; on the other, is establishment of a totalitarian system of government whereby the Individual’s personality is submerged and civ- ilized influences obliterated. Recently in an American high school library a lad stood looking at the photograph of a class which had graduated more than half a century ago. He turned to the principal who happened to be in the room and said, “I like traditions. They give you a feeling that you belong to something that others have cared about.” This month, in Canada, We will decide for ourselves how we shall lend $120,000,000 to our government in 1941. Our decision will be made the democratic way. Our choice lies clearly between voluntary and compulsory savings. The decision is wholly ours. The amount sought from individual income and sav- ings â€"â€" yours and mine â€"-â€" is a fraction of our country’s estimated need for more than $1,000,000,000 to be spent this year in Canada’s prosecution of the war for freedom. It is this year’s price that you and I must pay for victory. These are big figures. These are stark truths. This is total war. The price we, on the home front, must pay' is wholly reasonable. And pay we will! The British Empire has been forced to fight for its life and for the freedom of the world. Canadians are asked for two million pledges, averag- ing $5.00 per month, that is, $10,000,000 a month or $120,- 00t0,000 per year, by the purchase of War Savings Certifi- ca es. j This is in addition to income tax and the purchase of shares in the third war loan, which will be launched in the late spring. Weighed in the scales against the freedom we are fighting for, all that we can do by way of money contri- bution is the small dust of the balance. Are YOU who read these lines pledged yet? If not, please lose no time. Canada needs your help. It may be very little you can lend to the government, but there is an old Scottish saying that “mony mickles mak a muckle”. The ocean is made up of drops of water. gotten. As we go to press Canada from coast to coast is near- ing the finishing post in a gigantic campaign to enlist the people of the nation in the war effort. Reports from Rich- mond Hill and many parts of York county are very en- couraging. Although there are some notable exceptions the majority of municipalities in the County are coming along fine and indications are the objective will be reach- ed. All over Canada it is confidently anticipated the drive will be a success. That goal can only be reached as every loyal Canadâ€" ian plays his or her part in this great war effort. The best organization that could possibly be formed could not reach everybody.

This fine showing justified the faith of supporters of the line who have al- ways maintained that given a chance under fair business conditions the car line would be a profitable ousiness venâ€" ture. The handsome profit should quiet forever those who think the line should be scrapped for a bus service. The radial line is a real asset to the North Yonge Street dis- trict, and best of all, it soon will be paid for. The deben- ture debt payments on the line mature in 1943. J.

TWO MILLION l’LED-GES THIS IS TOTAL WAR “THE LIBERAL” Established 1878 One of the most striking features of butter is its colour. That colour Well, continuing with our bread and butter, we have these indispens- aible vitamins [before us, in adequate quantities, in the shape of milk and (butter; and our present concern is with butter, observe your own habits in consuming it. You Will find, I think, that on a cold, pinching morn- ing you take quite twice as much butter on your toast as in warm genial weather. You are now in a position to understand the Eskizmo’s addiction to bluiblber and tallow can- dles; though you probably regard his tastes slightingly, your appetite for: Butter, your mad craving for caI’bo-i hydrates, is exactly the same as his. There is this difference of course: that Eskimos do not mind what their doctors or their tailors may say aâ€" bout the results of excessive indulg ence in canbo-hydrates. You prob- ably do care. But even if you re- strain your appetite for butter, for reasons of discretion, the appetite it- self continues unabated. You can- not do without butter; you are the slave of the cow. all that cows, thougn notoriously given to rumination, do not reflect ‘upon the power which they possess. I have no doubt whatever that, if the cows did go on strike, or were extenminated lbw any unforeseen ca- llamity, the scientists would lbe prompt in supplying synthetic milk. But the strength of the cow, and indeed the strength of Nature, is, that the scientists, with all their in- genuity, cannot yet manufacture the vitamins in which, as you are aware, milk abounds. I forget whether it is vitamin A, B, C or Z, but it does not matter, for these are only tic- kets, indiscriminately attached by bewildered savants to things which they do not in the least understand. But have you ever considered what would happen if the cows of the world formed a union and' went on strike? It is not too much to say that the human race would be threat- .ened with extinction. It would ‘be cut off, so to speak, at the source, because there would be a ‘Massacre of the Innocents" besid'e which ex- ploits of Herod would pale into in- significance. I recollect, some years ago, in England, the community was threatened, through industrial dis- ‘turbance, with a stoppage of sup- plies. What was the first niecessny of life for which the authorities hao‘ 'to provide? Milk! It 'was realized that without milk society was as good as doomed. The rising genera-. tion could not rise. It is well for us all that cows, thougn notoriously given to rumination, do not reflect of A. A. Milnc’s, known as “The King’s Breakfast.” Mr. iMaxted dramatically depicts in song, the com- motion consequent on the lack butter for the ‘Royal Slice of Bread.’ His Majesty’s tantrums and the up- set in the whole Royal Household is very well brought out, so much so, lthat I played the piece a second and a third time. At the same time I was suddenly struck with the thought of what a terrible world this would be if the daily butter supply was cut off. Have you ever given a thought to the important part play- ed in your daily life by that com- mon~or-garden article of dict -â€" Butter? Well now, just pay attention. The Lion may be the King of Beasts, but what is the Queen of Breasts? Undoubtedly the 00W. The sovereignty of the cow over the human race is one of the mOst res markable features of civilization. TO‘ see these creatures going about their daily activities, you would never sup- pose that they weikled' any extra- ordinary power. They do not seem to be particularly well disposed to- wards humanity. They gaze upon one with a gloomy, sullen, and al- most mena-cing expression. I have never understood why the Greeks thought it a compliment to call a woman “ox-eyed”. If any woman of my acquaintance gave me the sort of look which I have often had from cows, I should immediately collect my hat and coat and call a taxi (provided I could afford one). Cows again, seldom form friendships with human Lein'gs, as many other quadru- peds do. Incongruously enough, they seem to form their most affectionate attachments with small birds.‘ Nor are cows good conversationalists. When moved to utterance, especially in the still night-watches, they make sounds that are altogether too rem- iniscent of the transports of an epi- l-ectic saxophone-player. Andi, al- though I am glad to say I have nev- er had the misfortune to annOy a cow, I am assured that when roused they are extremely choleric. But have you ever considered what would happen if the cows of the world formed a union and' went on strike? It is not too much to say that the human race would be threat- ened with extinction. It would ‘be cut off, so to speak, at the source, because there would be a ‘Massacre of the Innocents" beside which ex- ploits of Herod would nale into in- of1 l Maxteo‘s of an old nursery rhymellords of language actually use the word “butter” to denote a particular shade of golden yellow. But any- body who has seen butter in its na- tural state knows that it is not yel- low at all. but a sort of drab colour, except in certain districts where ap- parently, the cows are of eccentric tastes and subsist exclusively on but- tercups, (landclions, and possibly marigold: and daffodils. Even these peculiar cows cannot possibly live on yellow hay in winter. This curious paradox gives much food for thought to any breakfastâ€"table philosopher: Why, I ask myself, do manufactur- ers insist on taking a jaundiced view of butter‘.z Is it really true that the public demands yellow butter? 1' should have thought that the public preferred a. colour which suggests more realistically the substance from which its butter purports to be made. Is this another example of those o'b' stinate superstitions which are not uncommon to trade? . Another in- stance of the fact that what the pubâ€" lic wants is generally what the manufacturer thinks and says it wants? Or, is it possible that beau- ty is only skin deep; that this deep, deceptive flush conceals ingredients contributed by the cow, but by the laboratory? I hesitate to think so. Not that I would condemn the la- boratory. What it has failed to do with milk it has succeeded in doing with butter, to the benefit of large sections of the conununity. Yet but- ter will always, in he last analysis (chemical or otherwise), defy its imi- tators; its social station is secure and! unchallengeable. . This is, well illustrated .b'by an incident which happened (so he says) to a friend of mine. Soon after the First World War he had a friendly dispute about the merits of a certain hotel of a “popular” character, which provided, in surroundings of great if garish splendour, meals at albout half the price of most hotels. His conten- tion was that the prejudice against a place of this kind was more snobb- ery; that it was highly efficient and provided just as good fare as more pretentious establishments. To prove it he gave a small dinnerâ€"party. It was a great success: cooking admirâ€" alble, all the etceteras excellent, ser« vice faultless; all, in fact, went on swimmineg ‘until near the end- of the meal, when the host called the waitress and asked for a little more lbutter. She replied coyly: “Would you be giving me a clip on the jaw if I was to bring you margarine?" 1 l l pnoncgrapn recording 01 staniey that imllmers, modistes, at Maxted"s of an old nursery rhymezlord‘s of language actually of A.
