Copies of a booklet and chart each entitled “Fight- ing Inflation” are being distributed in the secondary schools throughout the Province, in connection with the Wartime Prices and Trade Board’s educational program. These booklets will assist the pupils to understand the meaning and dangers of inflation. VICTORY LOAN In all communities of the Dominion patriotic men and women are now organizing to help put over the Seventh Victory Loan, opening October 23, as announced by Finâ€" ance Minister Ilsley. The people are being asked to sub- scribe $1,300,000,000 â€"â€" by $100,000,000 greater than any previous Loan and things look rosy in the war now, but it is not over yet. War is eating up more money right now than ever before. Our total requirements (war and ordin- ary) will probably reach $6,500,000,000 for the year, just think of that. Our spending nationally, will be more than $500,000,000 a month, more than $100,000,000 a week and more than $15,000,000 a day. Our individual savings must be throvm into the balance which brings our boys and girls home sooner. After all, we’re only lending â€" not giving. UNRRA CONFERENCE The UNRRA conference is a great test of how nations can work together. Its task is gigantic. Reports indicate that there has been no disagreement among the fortyâ€"four nations represented at the conference table. rOne needs only to think of the need and suffering in many countries of the world to recognize that immediate succor is re- quired, the moment these countries are liberated. To (France, Belgium and Holland will _be added Denmark and Norway. Still later there will be China and other coun- tries in the East. UNRRA takes over when the military authorities have secured control and transferred relief dut- ies. Canadian farms will be supplying wheat and other foods. This country will be shipping canned fish, clothingz medical supplies and many other necessities. Canadians take the deepest interest in plans to give immediate re- lief of the suffering population, to help Italians, even if these formerly were enemies and the host of refugees who have fled from Nazi controlled countries and to reâ€"estab- lish the 20 million people to Europe driven from their homes. They are also interested in the UNRRA’s plans for the rehabilitation of the economy of the liberated coun- tries. International trade in the future on which Canada is so dependent for the livelihood of its people cannot get in full swing after the war until the devastated countries are again put on their own feet and able to carry out reciprocal trade with Canada and the rest of‘the world. Within the past few years Vocational Training has advanced from a dream to a reality, and a great many High Schools in Ontario are equipped to give this diversi- fied training to your young people. In the City of Peter- boro there is an enrolment of 1020 students and of this number one third is to be found in the Vocational and Household Science Departments, while over 1000 students past High School age are availing themselves of the adâ€" vantages of night school. The more diversified our second- ary education the more it tends to extend equal opportunity to our young people. Vocational Training is long past the experimental stage and its addition to the courses in every High School should have the serious consideration of all High School Boards. Students who attend Richmond Hill High School deserve the best opportunity possible, and looking forward to post-war needs in education, the Richâ€" mond Hill High School Board should give consideration to an expansion program to include Vocational Training. We should observe “V Day”, when it comes, with joyâ€" ful thanksgiving, but also with sincere humility. The most fitting manner to observe the occasion would be in a great community gathering of praiSe and thanksgiving to Al- mighty God. The prayer service shOuld be followed by a pilgrimage to the community cenotaph for suitable service and laying of tributes in honor of the gallant boys who died to make “V Day” possible. On “V Day” our first thoughts should be for those boys who will not return, and the loved ones they left behind. Many municipalities are going ahead with elaborate plans for “V Day” celebrations. There will be great joy on that day when Germany folds up and agrees to “uncon- ditional surrender” and it will be natural and human to give expression to feelings of joy and relief after a long siege of war. It should be a day of rejoicing but it should not be the occasion of revelry or noisy pleasure-making. Our record in this Blood Donor service has been good. Now that Victory is in sight may our desire be to even surpass our past efforts. The next Blood Donor Clinic in Richmond Hill will be held Thursday, October 5th. ANY MEMBER OF OUR ARMED SERVKEB IHED WHEN A TRANSFUSION WOULD HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE AND THE BLOOD PLASMA WAS NOT AVAIL- ABLE. All who have been donors in the past are urgently requested to continue and new donors are asked to regis- ter at their nearest clinic. LET IT NOT BE SAID THAT It is very necessary that the thirty permanent clinics in Ontario and the seven mobile units carry on to their full capacity. There must be no letdown if we are to save the lives of our men and bring them back to their families and loved ones in Canada. One 6f the greatest accomplishments on the opening day of the invasion was the dropping of blood serum by parachute to the casualty clearing stations. The increased activity of the allied ar‘mies is daily increasing the demand for blood plasma. Letters are be- ing received telling of transfusions being given to the wounded right on the battlefield in France and in Italy. Thousands of our wounded men are being brought back to England by airplane which means a greatly increased demand on our supply. In ten days in Italy alone a full weeks’ supply from Canada was used.

FIGHTING INFLATION PLANNING FOR V DAY “THE LIBERAL” Wherever the pastor of St. Mary’s has ministered he has made hosts of friends, and this annual bazaar af- fair gives these friends a chance to come for a visit. Everyone in the village may not know him because he is a shy, retiring type of man, but The Tattler believes everyone in the village should get to know him for the reason that he not only has a personality that exudes kindness and good will, but one that is really re- The first of these bazaars has in recent years sprung- into position as a top notch event. The supper is one of the treats, and many will re- call how last year not only all the “best people” in and around the vill- age dropped in for supper, but how ever so many visitors came from To- ronto and other points also longin' for a banquet of fine fowl. Probably we raise better fowl in this here neck of the woods than they do elsewhere in the province or probably the cookin’ and general pre- paration of the meal 'by our good ladies has something to do with it. ICertainly they show themselves at this event to be mistresses of the cooking art. But there is another reason, too. The activities of the parish of St. Mary Immaculate are under the direction of two gentle, clever, scholarly priests whom every- body loves. in such centres as Victoria Square. Two items in last week’s issue of The Liberal inspire us lthis week to talk about ourselves in this connection. One announces the bazaar to be held October 4th by the congregation of the Church of -St. Mary Immaculate and the other the bazaar to be held a little later by ‘St. Mary’s Anglican Church. Months ago The Tattler called at- tention to the fine manifestation of home and community effort in the sponsorship and patronage of events Richmond Hill, on a number of occasions every year, proves that it is in the top row of villages and towns possessed of a fine community spirit. The street dance and other sooial events of the [Lions Club, the school entertainments and a variety of church and lodge gatherings, annu- ally calendared, show the village is on its toes with a zest for co-operative effort and a. tolerance of creed that is truly admirable.

HISLOP, Phone 177 Richmond Hill Anecdotes and stories about St. Mary’s priests and people of yester- year abound. If collected they would probably fill a good size book. One in particular The Tattler recalls. It is about the late Father Kelly. The men of the church felt that a feature of the bazaar one year should be a horse race like the races once so popular at rural fairs. So a race was planned and a race was held, but the entries were confined to steeds born and brought up here- abouts. Everyone for miles around was present to see the 'big event, and a grand time everyone had. Horse No. 1, so the story goes, finished some three minutes ahead of horse N0. 2, and horse No. 3 came in eight or ten minutes later. All thought of enter- ing any of the nags later at the Richmond Hill has been always favored in the priests sent here to direct the spiritual affairs of the Catholic population. Back in the dim past, which only real old timers re- call, there was Rev. Dr. Teefy, later president of St. Michael’s College, Toronto, a native of the village, son of a famed postmasten In later years there was (Rev. Edward Kelly, student of archaeology, advocate of universal higher education, always active in municipal and school af- fairs. Then came the beloved Father Thomas Keane who in a thousand ways quietly endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact and who is still active in the ministry in a neighboring community. Father ‘MoGinn and Father Duffy have a vast love for their fellow man, whatever be his religious beâ€" liefs, color or politics, and that has no doubt a great deal to do with their highly successful administra- tion of the Catholic parishes at Rich- mond Hill and Thornhill. One day recently he found himself among a. number of war veterans at a picnic close to Richmond Hill. Not one of them was a member of his faith, but they‘ asked him, rather diffidently, if he would invoke a bless- ing on themselves, their families and the aims of their association, namely, the betterment-of veterans’ welfare. He did so promptly, shook hands with every man and woman there, and made of them all life long friends. freshing‘ One of the most useful institutions, which is rendering valuable services to Palestine, although it was estab- lished only a few months ago, is the War Economic Advi‘sow Council. This body, under the chairmanship of Mr. R. E. H. Crosbie, former \Lydda District Commissioner, is composed of representatives of the Arab and Jewish populations, as well as offi- cial members. It reviews all phases of the country’s economic life, dis- cusses existin-g- or impending legisla- tion, probes the efficacy of the con- trol systems, and submits recommen- dations to the Government’s execu- tive arm. Woodbine was, of course, then aban- domed. But this year there may be some- thing more attractive even than Father Kelly’s horse race.
