Banning the sale of rubber tires; cutting the produc- tion of passenger cars, stoves, refrigerators, etc. and the- announcement that rationing of gasoline will become ef- fective April 1 next, should impress upon every Canadian that conservation of every commodity is necessary if we Wish to preserve our liberty. The more We conserve vol- untarily the less necessary it will be to put compulsion into operation. In the words of Chairman Donald Gordon, the mea- sure must succeed if we are to avoid inflation and a com- plete breakdown in our wartime economic set-up.â€"â€"Sim- coe Reformer. Sir Gerald said the Canadian-trained pilots may be the ultimate source that will win the war. “Combat fliers are going to get tired,” he explained. “It’s a military axiom that the general who can throw in fresh forces when both sides are exhausted will Winâ€"it’s thedifference between a stalemate and a victory. These young pilots, trained in Canada, could well be the margin of air victory.” “Not enough has been said of Canada’s part in the war,” Sir Gerald told a special press conference. “When the war started, Canada found most of the machine tools necessary had been allocated elsewhere. The first Canadian division to go to England had to be equippâ€" ed there. Canada is now going ahead at a tremendous pace and with wonderful effect.” Sir Gerald, who earlier in the war was British High Commissioner to Canada, told correspondents Canada “has been ready from the word go to play her full part. Peo- ple haven’t realized her great contributions.” “This airâ€"training program was an enormous under- taking,” he said. “When the blitz really started Canada speeded up the program unbeiievably. She got air-train- ing centres in order quicker than even the most optimistic expected.” ’ CANADA’S PART NOT FULLY REALIZED Praising Prime Minister Churchill’s Ottawa speech, Sir Gerald Campbell, British Press Service director, de- clared this week he was “glad of the tribute paid to Canada.” THE PRICE CONTROL MEASURE After spending one full week with the wartime prices and control board at: Ottawa we came away convinced that the administration of the new price ceiling legislation is in very competent hands and that with general accept- ance on the part of consumers, retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers, farmers and all other parties concerned, the new plan can be made to work. THE MAGIC OF WORDS Among all the many gifts possessed by that great man, Prime Minister Winston Churchill of Great Britain, there seems to be no talent greater than the wonderful moving force of his speech. He has, if ever man had, the “magic of words.” He has the faculty of packing power into every phrase â€" of making his words live. An ancient seer when asked the secret of oratory replied that there were three great needs‘â€" first, sincerity; sec- and, sincerity; and third, sincerity. That may well be the secret of the magic of words on the tongue of Prime Minister Churchill. He has the belief of a zealot in the justness of the British cause. He has the most com- plete faith in the power of the British people to over- come all obstacles and endure all sacrifices. He has the firmest belief in the final victory. Perhaps, this suggests the reason why he won the thunderous applause of all when he addressed the United States Senate and the ova- tion given him at Ottawa. “The magic 0?“ words” of Premier Churchill represents faith, hope, belief, sincerity. His summary of the causes of the war, the progress of the war, the service and sacrifice necessary, to bring the final victory were the words of a sincere patriot, the faith of one who has held through a long and a stormy life to ideals that rest among the stars but may be brought to. earth for the benefit and welfare of all humanity. The message of Churchill may he one that no other man on earth can deliver with the power that he can give it, but this may be so for no other reason than there are no others so- completely filled with the sincerity, the whole- hearted zeal and faith of Winston Churchill. Whatever happens, life in 1942 is going to be adven- turous for civilians as well as soldiers. If plans for the full utilization of our human resources are wisely made and efficiently carried out so that everyone is able to do his or her best for the great cause, the simple life will be happy as well as novel. Rationing of rubber and gasoline will have compen- sating advantages. More walking will improve our health and figures and give us better appetites for the home- grown foods that may replace imported products. If short- ages of civilian clothing force us to extract the last bit of wear out of our garments, we can cheerfully all be shabby together and abandon the task of keeping up with the Joneses. If we cannot take summer vacations away from home, we can explore our own cities and coun- trysides and discover for ourselves the unnoticed charms that have attracted strangers to them in the past. The prospect is not frightening. If razor blades and electric razors vanish from the market, the men can culti- vate beards. Cosmetics are also threatened, so while the men retreat into ambush, the unadorned female face may appear. Looking,r forward to a new set of faces on our friends and acquaintances lends interest to the coming days of scarcity. Numerous preachers have asserted that happiness does not depend on material possessions, and the period immediately before us is likely to put that theory to the test. Instead of making the hackneyed New Year’s reso- lutions about giving up tobacco and liquor, one might well employ one’s hours of meditation in preparing-to forego a long list of other commodities that have never been conâ€" demned as harmful. The chances are that the new reso- lutions will be kept. Advertising Rates on Application.

It throws a flood of light on the unsch‘ooled“ mind to learn that what one had been accustomed to think of as a tummy- a‘che- is really “a loss of tone in the muscular equipment of the ali- mentary canal.” Helvpful though this knowledge is, the practical questionv remainsâ€"how to regain lost tone? How whip up the alimxenrtary canal to its custom- ary muscularity? The answer is If you are showing any of these symptoms, it is clear (so I learn from the Medical Correspondent of one of our leading regional dailies) that you are suffering from: “tiredl dyspepsia”. This is a nasty comâ€" plainrt, which» reaches the propor- tions of an epidemic in- December and January. “It is a condition that frequently follows- a long spell of sedentary and mental effort” inâ€" volved! in being the life and‘ soul of the party on» Christmas Day, not to mention: the strain of becoming, once and for all, a Changed! Man on Jan- uary lst.) “It is not infrequently the sequel of a series of official or other entertainments, including heavy meals, late hours, and poss's‘fly un~ wanted refreshments taken for the sake of politeness." Extraordinary! There is no doubt that modernI med- ical science reaches an a‘most un- canny degree of insight. What lay- man, working Iby the mere light of nature, wouldl ever have guessed healvy meals, late hours, and“ excess- ive refreshments wouldI bring on ,a condition of “tired dyspepsia”? It serves people right for taking re- freshments “for the sake of polite- ness'”, instead‘ of taking them for the sake of being refreshed, which is the only proper motive for taking re- freshments. Of course, a good deal depends on the refreshments, and if they happen to be, as only too often, some Special Offer of Christmas ,Port, then: tiredl dyspepsia is not only an inevitable but a just retribu- tion, which, so far as I am concern- ed, will never have a particle of Sympathy. Yen and I can remember a. time in the not so remote past, when there was a great (real of chat about. National Recovery, and there were a. great many different programmes for it, all of them either infallible or suicidal, according to the school of economic thought to which one zeppened to belong. Insufficient at- ttention, however, has been paid, at all t'mes, to the esually pressing ‘quesiion of Individual Recovery. Take your own case â€"â€" do you feel that you have entirely recovered»? I am not, at the moment, referring to the recent Depression or to the present World‘ Crisis, or to the up- setting intfluences of Price and Wage Controls, etc., but to the Festive Season. Are you yet the same man or woman that you were, say, on Decent-her 24th, 1941? Would you claim in economic terminology, that your confidence is restored? It is true that Christmas is- long past, and even the New Year is now well under way; but I permit myself to wonder whether the hangover has quite creased hanging over? Certain factors, possibly have militated a- gainst rapid recovery in the full Rocssveltian sense; for example, you may be a Scot, with a highly de- veloped' sense of the importance Ofl New Year (and‘ then there was St. Andrew’s Day not so very long be-‘ fore Christmas, was there not?) It may well be that certain aspects of the dawning year have set you back â€"for instance, you may have caught a. slightly jaundiced! View from that bill‘ious-loolking notepaper of which Municipal Authorities and His Maj- esty’s Canadian Collector of Taxes are so fond, when they intimate to you that certain accruals have to be catered to. Or perhaps, just when you were getting on- nicely, a New Year’s greeting from your tailor or drresrsmaker caused a serious relapse. Then what about that slice of cake on Christmas afternoon, on top of the midd'ay plum-pud‘dtin-g? Your sys- tem may still be wrestling with that, for the effects are very lingering, though, granibedl a strong constitu- ti'on, n-ot invariably fatal.

You may ask, and not without reason, are Christmas and New Year worth; it? Well, I don’t: know whe- ther it is of‘ any interest to you, but it is distinctly stated: by this medical ‘adiviser that “anything in the shape of work should be ban- ished} for three days.” That may be some slight compensation?

An entire week-end must be devoted to penance â€" or, as this austere medical; authority puts it, “must: be firmly dedicated" to the purpose.” Saturday must be spent in bed, with no sustenance except a cup of tea in the morning- and af- ternoon.
