Let Your Con, science, Be Your Guide! This is a message ta everyone in aur whale cammunity, tawn and country alike. It is a pre-Christrnas appeal ta the conscience of ecd individual. We have only 39 shopping days before Christmas. Despite war-nay, because of war, we must perpetuate the spirit of Christianity by observing Christmas day and of good- Winl among us. Millions are -i n isery, slaves ta pagan overlords. They must observe Christmnas, if they can, in fear and secrecy. Happily we can and shaîl, in the usual way, plan and shop for aur good-will gifts. Let us start riglit now ta plan. In this we offer comment aiftl suggestions. We addrese ourselves ta bath tawn people ar;d country people.% To those in the country we wauld say that Bowmanviile, for half a century or more, deserved and got the wholehearted support af all' this countryside. At Christmas tirne this was the busy, happy centre. But the automobile age bas changed this extensively. Now shopping goes abroad ta a considerable degree-to the cities where the add cent here and there invites a saving. Maybe the cost of gas and a il offsets ail this-yet the "bargain" was there- it was advertised. Sa riglit here we introduce the plea of conscience and goad- wiil. Why flot let us resolve this Christmas, now that war is upan us, ta iark back ta tie gaod old days and do ALL ai aur gift- buying. in the old home town. This is a patriotic camniunity appeal that ought ta reach the 'hearts af all wio beileve in comrnunity welfare. You know and we know that you wiil do just that. But, you may ask: "What have you ta show us and what is the price?" A pertinent question indeed! Sa now we turn ta thé merchants of the good old town- not just the regular advertisers-but each and every one of those who have somcthlng ta sen, and this is what we say: "If you want ta share lu the Christmnas trade and welcorne ta our country neighbours, you ougit ta tel thern what you have ta senl and list some price leaders. Tiat is-you should advertise. That is preclsely what thcy want. If you do not tell them-then you do not deserve their business." We print this well in advance, ta the end that all may do Borne thinklng. The Statesman reaches every section of the caMmnnty and a ur staff will caîl upan each shop and store in town ta ask for yaur cooperation-ta help you construct your advertlsing ms>age. .lu tuis wc rnerely do aur duty as a community newspaper. The one great service we can render is ta bring tawn and country tagether. M a spirit of mutual good-will. We believe aur suggestions in ttus matter at ti time and in these days of warfarç will meet the wholc-heartcd support af everyone wio cdaims ta be a citizen, loyal ta lis cammunity. A week, hence we plan ta make aur canvass wlth a vlew ta early annauncemcnts af the goods and values you may have tg offer. Let us not caunt tao closely thic dollars and cents-tic old, cold, materialistic vlew tiat repenis rather than invites. andLet us join togetuer early and entiusiastically in creating adinfusing the old-tirne Christmas spirit. And do nat forget aur saldiers. Get their presents early and send thcrn along in a Bowrnanvile wrapper, They will welcorne and applaud just that.
