EVERY MAN'S OFFENSIVE At last the great offensive has came; the first step in liberating a continent. Our men in the centre of it carry the name of Canada through the builets, the heat and the dust. It may be painful ta compare what they are doing in Siciiy with what we do here. But it need not be, for there are two kinds of of- fensive. They are fighting ta make sure we do not get the wrong kind of world. We must fight ta make sure we do get the right kind. Suppose we in Canada had ta read headlirpes in the papers like: "Allied ilivasion bogs down! High Command disagrees:" or "Lack of confidence between of- ficers and men undenlies coilapse of allied offensive." But just look at aur headlines! Stnikes, blackmarkets, mud-slinging, mis- trust, suspicion, aur press is ful of it. Warnings that the real battie is only beginning seem ta go over aur heads. We must nealize that whîle aur soidiers are winning the war in the battie- field, we have ta win the battie of production on the home front. Production these days means more than just the impiements of war, more than food for us and aur allies, it means the spirit ta win the wan and secure the peace. Our offensive at home in Can- ada can begin any day we choose. We can prove ta aur soldiens that we believe Canada is wanth fight- ing and dying for. Every man and waman is free ta do some- thing about if. The ardinary man can determine ta live for Canada. Each one of us can sacrifice as aur boys are daing; not just the littie luxuries of food or gasoline, we can sacrifice aur selfishness, aur persanal ambition, aur mis- trust and aur greed. We can stant living as aur invasion troaps have been living these iast three yeans -matching their discipline, thein physical fitness, their aient men- taiity, their perfect teamwark; we can pull together with those nearest us, and start pulling the country tagether. This is eveny man's least contribution towands building a country wanthy of the sweat and sacrifice of Siciiy. The chicken that cames home ta roost nowadays is usually caught for the market. SPeace is liberty in tranquillity. -Ciceno.1 Red Cross Issues Urgent AppeaU for nrease In Supplies For the first time since the war began the Ontario Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society is unable fully to meet the require- ments of the National Committee. Supplies in the Ontario ware- house are almost exhausted and the demands are stupendous. In the ,past four years the men and women of the Air Force, the Army and Navy, and the civilian women and children in Great Britain have learned to count an us. They stili do. The need is flot only as great as last year, IT IS GREATER. Surely we shall not fail them as they fa~ the crucial year ahead with a ex"ag and faith derived partly from a confidence that we will not let them down. A letter from the National Chairman this week says, "We are frantic for supplies. Coax, beg. plead for them?" Surely we can- not be indifferent ta that bald statement of need. Women are needed naw in the Bowmanville workrooms who will volunteer ta do whatever needs ta be dune. Right. now there is an urgent need for help in completing a large quota of sewing for capture parcels. At any time the need for some other form of supply may be stressed- the demand varies with the pressure of necessity but there is a continuous and urgent need for workers. The Bowmanville workrooms in the Tawn Hall are open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons (with a few rare ex- ceptions) from 2 until 5. The conveners xWill welcome most cordially either one woman com- ing alane, or a group, and will give each woman wark she can do satisfactorily. The work is super- vised and assistance and explicit directions will be given. Will you make an ironclad res- olution naw ta volunteer your help right away and ta give some time regularly each week? MONTY'S FOXHOUNDS The first regimental nickname, ta emerge from the war belongs ta the 40th (King's) Tank Regi- ment, now unafficially known as Manty's Foxhounds. The title was conferred by a Scattish sold- ier at Medinine who said: "The hunt is on again. Here cames Monty's Faxhounds." That boy of yours lias been gone a long time. He and his fighting comnades are now surging forward to Victory. Help speed that Victory and his return to bis place in your heant and home. Every dollar counts. Buy Victory Bonds. Buy them for youn absent boy; buy them for your future. Led ... to restore the farnily circle. 1~ GARTON'S GARAGE Phone 2666, Bowmanvllle L > -.000mor, . . 1
