HERRINGTON RICHMOND HILL C. BRETT BUILDING PLAN Phone 188 9. You can discourage useless and obnoxious criticism of our own Gov- ernment. I am not speaking from any angle of party politics at all, but we, a free people, elected a gov- Rumors about soap mtioning â€"â€" shoe rationing â€"â€" or special excise tax on shoes of 25-45% â€" of clothes rationing. So many of the rumors are ridiculous, but. they do get peo- ple excited with the result that many of them lay up stores, causing- E panic in many retail establishments. Don’t repeat rumors, report them. Another rumor â€"â€" which most of us have heard â€"â€" was along the lines of the fighting in Egypt, Hong Kong and Singapore was carried on large- ly by Colonials or Dominion troops and that soldiers from the British Isles were kept out of the actual en- gagements. To refute this the Unit- ed States Bureau of Facts and Fig- ures in Washington published a statement aslfollowys: “It is signifi- cant that up to December 1941, 71.2% of British Commonwealth casualties both dead and wounded, were United Kingdom troops from England, Scot- land and Ireland. 18.2% were Do- minion troops from Canada, Aus- tralia and New Zealand’ and South Africa. 5.5% were Indian troops and 5% were Colonial. The rumor that the Government intends to take 23% of all savings accounts in banks â€" Mr. Ilsley was quoted as pronouncing this statement fantastic. Rumorâ€"The Red Cross was pay- ing $2110.00 to each ‘czocd donor in every other Province but Quebec. The statement to counteract th's published in the papers from W. J. Cairns, National Commissioner of the Red' Cross, stating that the Red Cross requests citizens to donate the: blood to save the live; cf the men in- the services but no payment is made to anyone in any part, of Can- ada for such donations. Rumor â€" The recent closing of gasoline stations by the Government was done under the pressure of big interests in the gasoline industry and most of the stations closed were in- dependently owned or operated by small companies. This fact was pub- lished in answer to thatâ€"that when- the stations were cIOSed, every brand of gasoline was affected. Montreal alone, out of 94 stations closed, 80 of them which were padllocked- were stations owned and operated by the big interests. 11 of them were own- ed and operated by small chains and three were independent. In order to combat this, a group of prominent ‘ business and profes- sional men in Montreal formed what they call the “Rumor Clinic” and‘ they ask that the public report to‘ their committee all rumors that are heard. It is then thefr job to trace those rumors down and find' the facts‘ about them. They have don-e yeoman service since they started. Letmc give you a few examples: 8. Spiking of rumors which affect the morale of the public, and which definitely sabotage our war effort.‘ Rumors are rampant. Rumors are of all kinds. Don‘t repeat rumors, re- port tliem. Those statements start- ing off with “From a friend of mine, who is in a position to know....” stories, or, “I got it from a very con; fidential source....". Drag such tales in the open. Report them to the proper authorities, and kill them with facts. Rumors about reckless waste, extravagance, and corruption have received particular prominence and are current about almost every war industry. You cannot turn a' country from a peace-time economy to a war-time economy in a short time as we have done without hav- ing some things creep in, which can' be criticize, but repeating to others who can do nothing about them does’ a lot of harm. (Continued from Page 3) find that the Government have taken stock of practically all the scrap metal, both lying around in dumps and in old buildings and can pick it up on a moment’s notice. It is the hidden scrap material in your basement, or in mine, in your garage or in. mine, that they need and. want. It is our duty, responsibility, to dig it out and see that it is picked up by the proper authorities. In con- nection with rubber, 90% of the norâ€" mal source of supply of rubber has been lost to the Japs. Another 7% is in Ceylon and: is in danger. Re- generation plants are working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. You still see piles of tires- lying on different lots, but every piece of scrap rubber is essential and is needed. The same is true of aluminum and many other things. Contact your salvage com- mittee in your district. Find out what they need' and! give them all the support that you possibly can. Ten Ways Everyone Can Help Win the War What can I do‘ I can fight for victory. I can work for victory. I can plan. for victory and I can pray for victory. I can bend all my en- We are fighting for the opportunâ€" ity for your little girl, my little boy, to grow up healthy in mind and body, to [have an education that will fit him for whatever he Wishes to be â€"â€" to have his: accomplishments limited only by his own talents and ambition â€" to have babies of their own over whom they can experience the same joys and sorrows, the same hopes and prayers that we have had over them. Like the words of the old Hymnâ€" “You go to your church and I’ll go to mine and: we’ll all‘ worship God togethqr." Again as we watch them we know what we are fighting for. Last Sunday they started back to Sunday School with other children all oven- the city. At the end of the street, they go to their church to worship God and to learn of lives and teachings of the great men and‘ women of the past, other children turn other ways and go to the Angâ€" lican, Presbyterian, Catholic or Sun- day Schools of other denominations. goal?”-â€"when it goes past the goalâ€" keeper and between the goal postsâ€" “No”, and he laughed deprecatingly, “only when the referee says it‘s a goal.” â€" As we think of these things I know what we’re fighting for. *One week ago they trooped off to school with hundreds of other healthy, happy, carefree, well-fed, boys and girls to be taught arith- metic, history, geography, spelling, and how to get along with others congenially rather than how to fight, race prejudice and hatred. They learn to stand. on their own feet andl ex- press their opinions Without fear of any Gestapo â€" As we watch them we know what we’re fighting for. ‘10. You can, make a. real contri‘ bution by giving some thought in addition to these other activities to the post-war recOn-struction, period. Why not have a discussion group in your club every so often, bringing up some such questions as the fol- lowing? Housing problem: The ab- sorption of the men and women in our armed services and in war indus- try in postâ€"war reconstruction: :Changes in our own economic struc- ture which should‘ be made: Livinlg standards after the war, or the tying in of mass production to mass con- sumption, so that everybody on earth will have enough to eat: Employer- employee relationships after the war: Plans for an enduring peace. Actu- ally we want security against warâ€" security against unemployment and undeserved misfortune â€"â€" a chance for every citizen to earn his or her proper place in the community and the freest cultivation and consumpâ€" tion of the earth's abundance.‘ Through your discussions you may be able to make far-reach'ng sugges- tions which will help make this Can- ada of ours and this world of ours a better place for each of us to live in. Two weeks ago my kiddies came back from holidays at camps in Mus- koka â€" lean, tough and brown. They had learned to swim better, dive, piadidle a canoe, live in the open, model in clay etc. They were trainr ed in d'ramatics and sportsmanship. Bud asked me among other things, “Dads, when is a goal in football a emrment. It is our privilege to con,- structively criticize that government, and such criticism should be welcom- ed if done in the proper spirit and to the proper people, but many of the criticisms which are being reâ€" peated by word of mouth» from one person to another are not founded in fact, and if so, become so blown up and inflated that it would be imâ€" possible to recognize the mistake from which they arose. What we need is a united Canada. If you have criticism of the powers that be, check your facts thoroughly first, and then if you have a suggestion which you believe is valuable, see that it gets to the proper authorities. A con;â€" tinuous slapping at many governâ€" ment~officials that we hear from day to day, cannot help but have a destructive effect on the minds of many people on our War Effort. Actually, also, although I am a T0â€" rontonian and as loyal I believe as any Torontonian, to the city and to our province, as I travel across C‘anâ€" ada, you just do not hear to any- thing like the same extent, this UH!- derhand sniping that goes on in our City. I am frequently asked the question “Why is Toronto always sniping- at the Government.” No matter what government we have, Conservative, Liberal or National Government, if we put that Governâ€" ment in, let’s- give it our full sup- port, es-pecially in these times.

It is the exact truth, as the genâ€" eral’s own statements and conduct have repeatedly shown. The ama- teurs should realize that, whoever else pays heed to their clamor, the ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR GENERAL REPAIRS PHONE 319 AURORA Canadian Press to lend him to the Canadian army, and Mr. Purcell, who had returned to Canada, went overâ€" seas with a commission. It will be remembered that he lost a leg dur- ing realistic manoeuvres in England. Canadian commander will ignore it. That is something for which the Canâ€" adian people may be grateful. It should be pondered by the soldiers of the armchair.â€"Evening Telegram. Mr. Purcell is not one of the newspaperm'en‘ who talk of war withâ€" out knowledge. He went over with the first Canadian Division to Brit- ain, crossed to Paris with General McNaughton and was assoeiated closely with the Canadian commandr- er during the days when the first soldiers overseas were being made what the general calls “battle- worthy." General McNaughton ap- preciated his judgment and assist- ance so highly that he asked the this is something that should; be remembered. When the offensive be- gins, it will not be the armchair strategists at home, people who have never seen a war and who know noâ€" thing- of what war means, who will land on- the beaches and face the enemy. And it will not be the arm- chair strategists, who play at war with maps and pins and words and unlimited effrontery, who will have the task of planning and carrying through the tremendous undertaking. It will be the professional soldiers, the commanders, the men who have had the training to fit them for their job and who have the relevant facts without which no sane decision can be made. Experienced Newspaperman Warns Against Clamor Gillis Purcell, general superinten- dent of the Canadian Press, has givâ€" en a wise and timely caution against the clamor for a “second front." Speaking in Saskatoon at the annual meeting of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers’ Association, he said the boys overseas were eager to get into France and their commander had promised] them that some day they would. “Why,” he asked, “not leave the job to the people who are on the spot? They will be the ones who will pay the shot â€"- not the easy way, with war savings stamps and- bonds, but with their lives." place for y grow up in (onions, cucumber, cauliflower and J. C.
