It is for us to pay for freedom now, in heavy taxes and in loans â€" Loans which are guaranteed by the very freedom which they help to secure. This Victory Loan is vital to our freedom. Only by means of its complete success can we lend our support adequately to those who are offering their lives. vuv u.--â€".--_V Inn; \IIAUIVV v). It is therefore well said that a people who value any- thing higher than their freedom, will lose both that which they value and also their freedom. What would we pay to be free if we lacked freedom? The question is absurd, because lacking freedom we would have nothing material to pay with. We could only offer our blood and our lives. Hundreds of thousands of our Canadian youth and manhood are now offering their lives that we may remain‘free. _ _ If today Hitler and his system ruled over us Canad- ians, what would we be willing to pay to get rid of them and to recover our right to govern ourselves? Surely we would be willing to pay all that each of us possess, because NOTHING WE POSSESS IS OF ANY _VALUE TO US WITHOUT OUR FREEDOM. Lacking freedom no man can call anything his own. All is at the complete disposal of the state and the state is controlled by a dictator. No citizen has any voice in the choice of the dictator._ 7 7 ' One of the most engaging remarks made thus far in the Fourth Victory Loan campaign comes from the lips of G€0rge W.

Mr. Spinney leaves little else to be said when he added, “If and when the millions of Canadians here at home take these facts into their hearts, delve to the limit into their bank accounts and pledge to the limit from their daily earnings â€" then, I repeat, it is indeed UNTHINKâ€" ABLE that we should fail.” ‘ “"“Wiiflnl; days to go all North York munici- palities are still short of their objectives.

WHY MEAT WILL BE RATIONED? When Canadians are convinced that the rationing of any commodity is necessary; that the plan adopted is the best that can be devised, and that it will be fairly equitably administered, the! will accept it Without complaint. n .. . I‘IIT, The important thing is to give them the'fac‘ts; to tell them honestly and frankly, the reasons why. Meat rationing has become necessary for several import- ant reasons. First, Great Britain now has to depend more and more upOn Canada for meat supplies sufficient to maintain even the pre- sent low ration rate in effect there. More than 40 percent of all meat produced in Canada must now go overseas. 1 “AA Aux.“ 1,- V...“ V ___ v , Second, the allowances to our armed forces, at home and abroad, must be maintained. Sharp emphasis is thrown upon this urgent need by the imminence of a sec0nd front, when meat resources will be drawn upon more heavily than ever, to feed those who fight to keep the war from our shores. â€"1:§£Vi<â€"mrihg will prevent to a great extent, the recur- rence of the local meat shortages which developed in many parts of Canada last ycar. Eeriii‘iiilmcoupon rationing is the most satisfactory means yet devised of assuring a fair and equitable distribution of the meat supplies that will remain for the use of our people at home. 4 CYLINDER, PER SETS 6 CYLINDER, PER SETS 8 CYLINDER, PER SETS NUTS & WASHERS, 8 lbs. $1.00 PAGE TWO Royal Power and Power Flex Piston Rings UNDERSTANDING THIS, WE CAN’T FAIL We have a considerable stock of material and invite your inspection.

Harper's on May lam at 2.30 pm: THE STORY BEHIND MEAT RATIONING Food is a weapon of war, and we must share our supplies with those Who are fighting to keep the war from our shores. After all special Wartime demands are taken care of, only one half of the meat produced in Canada will be available for ordinary domestic consumption at home. Meat supplies for our Armed Forces must maintained at all costs. Great Britain has to depend more and more on Canada for supplies to maintain even its present low ration rate of 28 cents worth of meat per person, per week. Since the war started the consumption of meat by civilians has increased in Canada. Great defense projects such as the Alcan Highway and the Shipshaw Power Develop- ment have created new and large demands for meat in areas where practically no demand existed before. RATIONING IS INTELLIGENT FORESIGHTâ€" INTELLIGENT PLANNING ;anuo THE MEAT RATION WILL BE AMPLE FOR HEALTH AND NUTRITION Fortunately, our meat production in Canada has increased. 50, although only half our production will be available for civilian use, it Wil mean a reduction of only about 15%) to 20%; in the average household consumption. The proposed ration of 2 lbs. (carcass weight) per person, per week, has been approved by the country's leading food and nutrition authorities, as ample for the health and nutrition standards of everyoneâ€"regardless of age or occupation. great grand- DATES AND OTHER DETAILS REGARDING MEAT RATIONINGâ€"SOON TO BECOME EFFECTIVE IN CANADAâ€" WILL BE ANNOUNCED LATER ll INSURANCE REAL PROTECTION for your household contents and personal belongings of your family against ALL RISKS such as fire, burglary, theft, hold-up, mysteri- ous disappearance and practically all losses or damage from accidental causes.
