THE RESPONSIBILITY OF LEADERS "Everybody else is doing it, why can't I?" This statement and query is looked upon as suf- ficient excuse for breaking unpopular laws. To " be able "to get away with it" seems fo be the de- ciding factor. This being the case it is looked upon by many as an evidence of "cleverness" if goods can be smuggled, if taxes, or public duties . can be evaded, if gambling laws can be broken, if we 'can drive bard bargains and buy our goods at less than cost. That these types of conduct carried to their ultimate conclusion would wreck society is a fact frequently overlooked, Fortunately there are millions of people who are long-visioned enough to see that such methods will not pay in the end. They are willing to pay duty as good citizens; do not avoid legitimate taxes; do their duties of citizenship; do not expect to get "something for nothing"; and do not make hard bargains by which others must suffer. - The business: of the leaders in any community is to promote this latter type of living, and dis- courage the former. If they fail in this duty it need cause no surprise if stealing and similar crimes become prevalent, 3 Many a man in responsible position has be- trayed his trust because he hoped to get "some- thing for nothing." His difficulty resulting has led to stealing, disgrace, imprisonment, and sometimes suicide. 2 3 No particular credit is due to those who legally or illegally defraud others of what is rightfully theirs; but whose simplicity leads them to trust their clever neighbors--sometimes their leadera. At no time in Canadian history has there been _ greater need that our-leaders. should set an ex- ample of law-abiding good citizenship. That. "~"gverybody does it" is only an added reason why greater effort should be made to return to a bet- ter way of life. i : oe qo © 'NO EXCUSE FOR LAG OF'LOAN "(Globe and Mail) . A Lond corresp t of The New York Times and The Globe and Mail pictures the British people as hoping for a Hun invasion, so confident are they of victory. We can well im- agine that the tortures they have endured from air attacks, and the attempts on the lives of the beloved King and Queen have sharpened their de- sire to come to grips with the enemy at close "still be fought. . that of contributing to a war loan, Canadians have to use their imagination to appreciate that the present phase of the war 1s not at all decisive. The winning battles must Even though London and a dozen other cities be wrecked, the little kingdom than could be placed in a corner of this Province, and has given civilized government to a quarter of the world, will rely still on the majesty of right- cousness and the assistance that is rightfully hers, to win, Were it possible to see what is going on in that land, we should have a better idea of the physical and mental strain which "Britain is surmounting so valiently that we, too, may continue to live the way of free choice. Knowing that the war has not reached its most vital stage, may even continue for years, and that we as Canadians are committed to it as fully as. little Britain, we are amazingly complacent in our response to the least part of our effort-- It is not even a contribution, it is an investment--the safest that can be made. Yet the Minister of Finance has ~ felt impelled to issue another statement urging the public at large to make good on this undertaking. . The delay in completing the loan is not due to lack of funds, for the savings in the banks are sufficient to subscribe five times as much. The comparatively small sum of $50,000,000 is needed to put it over the top. Were we enduring the trinls of those on the front line, we would realize what a small thing it would be to give, without interest-or expectation of return of principal, for the sake of winning. Yet, all that is asked is a sound investment of. idle funds. Qur boys are over there. They are going to be in the brunt of the fight, giving their lives if need be, as a number already have. The money needed is to back them up with airplanes, tanks, ships, guns and munitions. ) Most of the subscriptions have come from cor- porations--and people of means. The man and woman of small means is not less patriotic, less anxious to support.the brave Canadian youths awaiting the trial of fire. The loan should repre- sent a national spirit as determined as that of our British kin. The spirit cxists, unquestionably.

R. T. E. Hicks-Lyne, M.C., for his splendid work in preparing the Exhibition Grounds at Kingston for the arrival of the regiment. \ The Militia at Kingston had moved out of camp over the week-end, and Captain Hood had just two days in which to organize the camp as he wished it done. Instead of billeting the soldiers in bell tents, he was able to acquire marquees which accomo- date thirty men and these can be read- ily equipped with stoves should the weather turn cold. He also received a supply. of double-decker steel beds, with springs insteitd of the usual soldier's camp cots, This does not complete the picture of comfort, as there is hot and cold water for showers, and other purposes and flush closets are also installed in- stead of the older type. It was possible to house the entire administration section of the regiment under one roof in" the cross-shaped Manufacturers' Building, and this tends Lo greater efliciency. In this building also is the camp kitchen and officers' mess and within 24 hours of arriving the smooth layout permitted routine to get under way without any delay.

If - it had been clear. instead of threaten- ing rain about noon, there is no doubt _ but that the attendance wodld have been large. As it was, however, all things considered a considerable num- ber of visitors pdssed through the gates. The biggest exhibit, of course, was the Black and White Show, with one hundred and ten animals showing in one hundred and fifty-eight ies. Leslie Beare, of Uxbridge, cap ured these prizes with his exhibits: Grand = Champion Cow, Junior Champion Bull, _ first prize on Graded Herd, and two trophies--true type model, and two best uddered females. The trophy was given by Ontario County Holstein Club. Mr, Beare also won trophy for two best animals in the show. The complete list' of Holstein prize. win- ners appears elsewhere in this issue. Among the prize winners for light horses were Leslie Cochrane, of Burketon, and L. M. Pinkham, 'of Sunderland. In heavy horses, Ed. Pascoe of Whitby, T. R. Hall, Oshawa C. McClean of Woodville, J. C. Holtby and Jas. Reed of Whitby, all 'won > prizes.

Boe, of Greenbank; and Miss Jean Brethour, Blackwater, were first prize winners in canning. The war work display told some- thing of the reason for shortage of exhibits in the building. It is not possible to do a steady job knitting socks, ete., and turn out a fine display of fancy work and good cooking. Fruit and vegetable displays were much smaller than usual and not up to former high quality.

We do not know what time "Reveille" sounded for them but from that time on the Guards were busy. Following a "General Alarm" at one o'clock the four companies of the Guard moved quickly as mobile units --four or five men to a car--to Scu- gog Island and took up strong posi- tions on the Centre road the length of the island. The invading forces under Admiral Baker landed along the west- ern side of the island and advanced in skirmishingsorder. The scouts in the treetops and-on the strawstacks aided in capturing the advance guards and the main defence line was strong- ly held by the guards. | However, the attacking forces took advantage of cvery opening and skill- fully penetrated the main line at several points. Little "Andy" Law- rence and Art Brock got right through the defence and captured the Quarter- master in Battalion Headquarters. These were, the first field manocuvres Veterans of A, B. and C. categories not over 60 years of age with over- seas service are eligible fo join this branch of the C.A.S.F.

Never a week passes that organizations, clubs or private parties do not contribute in some way "To help win the war." This summer, the regatta staged by the Lions Club, the Business Men, and the LODE. netted the fine sum of 2152.46 for Refugee work. The churches contributed $100, be- ing the collections taken at the Sun- day evening services held at the lake front. The County Council gave a grant for war work to each chartered organ- ization in the county, Port Perry's portion of this grant was $480.98. No less generous has been the gifts of many of our citizens. Mr. Herb. Brooks contributed 50 cotton bags which have been used to line many quilts. A cupboard contributed by Mrs. Wilkinson and made by S. N. Griffen and Mr. Nott into an artistic and usgeful wardrobe for refugee work, Tables for the cutters, a Coleman stove for the kitchen and many other useful gifts help make the war work easier. i As Lord Beaverbrook said in a cable of thanks to the National Chapter, LLO.D.E. in response to a gift of £60,000 for aircraft: "The battle is stern, the hour is critical, but the citadel of freedom will hold out forti- - fied by the love and valor of the race.
