Total sales of War Savings Certificates now stand at $70,- 985,674 from the inception of the movement to June 30, of which $44,544,566 has been subscribed in the current calendar year. "’u Gasoline is only one item. -The hand of the nation at war will be stretched out to other materlals and serâ€" vices. There is certain to be increasing diversion of goods and services to war needs, entailing voluntary sacrifices from the people. In a cause so great and a crisis so crit- ical that sacrifice must be made. It is sad but no doubt true that the ones who will not make any effort to save gas are the same ones who won't buy war savings certificates or Victory bonds. They are the people who want an allâ€"out war effortâ€"but by someone else. The total of 1,111,727 applications received in June set a new high monthly record, and compares with 1,067,- ’. 3 applications in May. In the first six months of this year, 5,056,498 individual applications were received at the National Headquarters. The largest Gay’s total of individual applications yet received was 110,818, recorded on the last day of June. “With the successful c0mpletion of the Victory Loan, plans are now being formulated for a renewed intensifica- tion of the War Savings activities throughout the Domin- ion during the Fall months,” Mr. Ilsley anneunced. “War Savings Certificates and Victory Loans are the two prinâ€" cipal means available to the Government of borrowing the savings of Canadians for war purposes. While tax rev- enues are moving upward, due in part to higher tax rates, the expanding volume of expenditures for war purposes makes just as necessary as ever the faithful support by the Canadian people of our loan campaigns. We must not relax our efforts in any quarter until Victory is achieved.” To wage war there is more to be done than training men and the production of equipment. The whole populaâ€" tion has to make sacrifices and mould their method of life into harmony with the war machine. And this does not. mean the war machine of this country alone but of other countries as well, particularly Britain. The British NEED OIL AND GASOLINE. This is the primary rea- son for the new gasoline regulations in Canada which closes filling stations for twelve hours at night and all day Sundays. The nonâ€"essential use of gas and oil has to be drastically reduced. Otherwise a system of ration- ing will have to be introduced. --o__ In this campaign to conserve gasoline and oil for the sake of the bombers overseas, an opportunity is presented to the humblest of our citizens to become a leader. If a man leaves his motor car in his garage for four days a week and proudly announces the fact to his friends in the community, he will be rendering a service to his counâ€" try of no mean value. An eleven year old boy war-guest; a little five year old girl whose daddy is in the Army; two sman youngsters whose mother is ill; these and many more are entered on the “urgent” list at the Country Homes Department of the Neighborhood Workers Association, Toronto. Human nature will be a prime factor in the success of the country’s undertaking, however. Many of us are prone to sit back and wait for the other man to take the initiative. We require leadership within the ranks, some- body to set the example, before we all commence to do the same thing together. Sending more than 1,000 children to private homes within a radius of 150 miles from Toronto for a two weeks’ vacation is an annual project of the Neighborhood Work- ers Association. This year, according to F. N. Stapleford, Neighborhood Workers Association, General Secretary, the need is just as urgent as ever. Summer camps cannot possibly accommodate all the children from congested city areas and there are always many cases where special con- ditions make it impossible for certain children to go to camp. The only way these youngsters can be assured a holiday away from the city streets is for a generous perâ€" son in the country to open his home to one or two of them for a short period. The Neighborhood Workers Associa- tion provides transportation, has the children medically examined before they leave town, and makes all arrange- ments for the trip. The hostess must be responsible for a bed, good plain meals â€"- with perhaps a little extra milk for the youngsters who require fattening up â€" and oppor- tunities for plenty of fresh air and sunshine. While there are some in Canada who would have pre- ferred some system of rationing gasoline and oil rather than the voluntary plan which has been launched, most Canadians will agree that the Oil Controller’s move sets a splendid objective for a democratic people. If motor car drivers of this country cut down the consumption of motor fuel by 50 $4, of their own free will, the achievement will stand out as a triumph for our way of living. H 7 _ _ 0n the rapidly growing lists at the Country Homes Department are many children of soldiers now serving in the active forces. A soldier’s pay and allowances (the maximum is for two children) does not allow for a sum- mer vacation for his family â€" especially if he left five or six little ones at home. Mothers are tired and worried after long weeks of weary managing alone. What a relief it would be to them to be able to send Johnnie and Mary off to the country for at least two weeks! You can do your bit by writing immediately to the Country Homes Department, Neighborhood Workers As- sociation, 22 Wellesley Street, Toronto, stating how many children, what age and sex you prefer, when you want them to arrive, where they will be met, etc., enclosing with your invitation a letter from your local clergyman.

SACRIFICE IS THE PRICE OF VICTORY PAGE TWO TREAT CHILDREN TO A VACATION LEADERSHIP THROUGH EXAMPLE ~IURSDAY, JULY 24th, 1941. “THE LIBERAL” Established 1878 10 n TELEPHONE 9 Day in and day out it is main- taining the even flow of that lifeâ€" stream of the nation â€" the mails â€" amdl under Colonel Muloek is facing up to the charliermge and giving wide- spread co-operation in many phases of wartime endeavor. It seems a happy augury that the department has at its helm. today a Minister bearing a name so int;- mlatelly linked with its progress. Colonel Mrulook is the grandSOn of Sir William; Mu‘lock, who, when Postmaster-General over two~score years: ago, fathered Imperial penny postage, and‘ through 'his enterprise converted an apparently chronic deâ€" partmenbal deficit into a surplus which; with ten exceptions, has been maintained) ever since. Intimavtelty «bound up with the life of every Canadian citizen.at all. times, in a period of war it assumes, if flossiiblle,‘ an importance even greater. Without it the wheels of Canada’s war industries wou-ld‘ be ‘bvalkeldrâ€"with-out it the tenuous» link between loved ones would be severed comxpllete‘ly. Less spectacular, per- h'ava‘, t'ham the raising of hundreds of millions of dollars: for Canada’s war chesit, the marslhall'ing of landt sea and air forces, or the produc- tion of planes, tanks, guns, corvette-s nonetheless in numerous ways the Canadian Pos‘toffice Department is making a whole-hearted and vital contribution to the Empire’s ultimate victory. It is a source of pride to ex-service men that one of their own numlber has demonstrated! outstanding suc- cess in. furthering the progress of the department. Accepting the port- folio in July, 1940, Colonel Mulock had the satisfaction of informing the House of Commons recently that for the first nine months of the fiscal year 1940-11941 the gross revenue of the department had increased by $2,739,313 ‘over the corresponding period of the previous year; When it is understood that the g'l’OSOS‘ rev- enue of the Postoffice exceeded the forty-four million dollar mark in 11989â€"1940, some conception of the magnitude of its operations maybe formed. Many Wartime Activities The department has naturally many special wartime activities. Military mails, pesta‘l censorship, co-operation in war work with other Government departmems, throw an additional heavy load on the shoul- dens of its big staffâ€"among which are in‘cluded' many thousands of ex- service men. To veterans, the handling of the mails for the Canadian forces must be of particular interest. This is abll’y carriedl out by the Canadian Postal Comps â€" which was recruited voluntarily among the executives of the Department and skilled person- me! of the Postal Services The Corps is operating the Base Postoffice, Ot- tawas, through which the mail for our soldiers and airmen overseas is handled; in Great Britain it proâ€" vides these troops with full postal service, while it also operates mili- tary postoffices in Canada. Last year over 5500;000‘ letters, 3,- 260,|0|00 pounds of parcels and! 596,- 000 pounds of newspapers and other periodicals were despa-tched overseas by the Base Postoffice. The volume of military mails whose smooth flow is of such consequence in maintain- ing the morale of our fighting men, is increasing monthly, and in April pver 733,000 letters, 115,000 parcels and! 94,697 pounds of periiod'icalls were sent across the Atlantic to our troops. ' Improves Handling of “Fags” 'One of Colonel: Mulock’s first of- ficial actions was to improve the system of handling parcels of cig- arettes from tobacco companies. From personal experience gained whifle on- active service in the Can~ adian Expeditionary Force during the Great War of 1914-18 the Post- master-General has a personal know- ledge of the value that the trOOps attach to all mail from homeâ€"and in particular to parcels of “smokes”. When complaints reached him of non-delivery and! delay he ordered a survey of the entire system of handling military parcels, and had every complaint thoroughly investi- :anada’s Postal Department Making A Vital Contribglgipn THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Department Headed By North York Member Is One Of Canada’s Big Businesses â€" “Canadian Veteran” Pays Tribute To Col. Mulock’s Administration To tHe National Weir Effort Colonel Mulrock, to ensure the safe delivery of these tobacco and cigarâ€" ette parcels ordered through tobacco firms. instituted identically the same postal treatment for them that reg- istered mail received. Such parcels are bagged under supervision of postal officials, and' are cleared through the customs, then given unit sortation at the Base Postoffice, where they are relisted and de- isvpatvched overseas in sealed bags, and are checked again on arrival. Mail, Parcel, Rates Reduced In everâ€"increasing scope the Post- master General has sucéeeded (fol- alowing negotiations with other Pose tal administrations concerned) in extending reduced rates on parcels sent to our serviceâ€"men and: our al- lies â€" until finally he was able to anmounce that he had succeeded in having the reduced rate of 12 cents a pound, limit 11 pounds, made ap- plicable on parcels mailed from Canâ€" ada to Canadian, British and Do- minion soldiers, sailors and» airmexn, and» those of Allied Forces servian overseas either within or without the United Kingd‘o-mL 'Parcels to Canada’s forces in, Newfoundland became acceptalb‘le at 10 cents a pound, limit 20' pounds, and the: rate of 12 cents a pound, limit of 210 pounds, was made applicable on those mailed Canadian troops in the West Indies. 'gatedx. This probe completely ex- onerated the postal service from sus~ picion of trafficking or neglect, but it revealed the umge-nt need that the pulblic should adldTe-S'S mails to the soldiers correctly, and pack their parcels strongly enough to with- stand the handling involved in- a voyage across the Atlantic. Free postage (allowed on soldiers" letters mailed at Army Post Offices in the United Kingdom) was ex- tended to Canadian units in Iceland, arrangements are now under way to grant free transmission on military mail from Newfoundland. Domestic postage rates were made applicable on: mail to the Canadian garrison in Iceland. A further concession is free re- direc‘tion on parcels sent soldiers in Canada. To reduce the vo’Dume of incor- rectly addressed mail, Mr. Muloek sent a personalized letter to some 126,000 dependents of the members of the forces advising them of the correct proceere in addressing mil- itary mail, and through widesrpread plulblicity emphasized“ correct; ad- dressing and the proper packing of parcels, with encouraging results. In April, too, special arrange- ments were made for the sendimg of brief Postal messages between per- sons in Canadian. and! relations in enemy-occupied countries. Postal Censorship Today the censorship of the mails conducted in twentyâ€"one Postal' Cen- sorship bureaux is a primary war- activity of the Department by which it performs a work of national pro: tection. Several hundred subversive periodicals have been barred the mails as result of its- activities, and thousands of dollars are being saved] the country through the Departâ€" ment’s co-ope-ration with: the‘For- eign Exchange Control Board. At one Pos'tal‘ Censorship Bureau items of maiill examined! as having been despatcvh‘ed, contrary to the Foreign Exchange regulations, on one day aflone, were found to contain around $2;000\,0010‘ in cash and securities. CO-Operwtion in War Wotrk The Post Office through its 12,557 post offices has become a leading agency in promoting the sale of War Savinlgs Stamps and' Certificates; aid! was given the Department of National War Services in National Regisdzrationg Postmasters having been appoiniaed Deputy Registrars. Coionei Mulock announced recently that the department would coâ€"oper- ate with the Unemployment Insur- ance Commission in: the sale of Unb employment Insurance stamps. In the 1941 Victory Loam campaign the Post Office Department again co- operated and enlisted} the support of 'the postal employees! throughout the Dominion.
