Mr. Fred Brooks is 'spending the week in Toronto, Mrs. Roy Goode and Eva spent a day in Oshawa this week, Les Inyesting for Victory Joseph Denny At the close of the Great War an article appeared in the "Literary Digest" to this effect:--""After every great war comes a period of depres- [sion which is invariably followed by expansion and great prosperity." Then was shown how that after the Crimean War, the Civil War in the United States, the' Francbd-Prussian War, this took place. The article advised all young and middle aged people to prepare for a prosperous aftermath. Whether many did follow that advice is not known, but those who did profitted immense- ly, The years following the above mentioned wars were most prosperous in every respect. In fact the writer of that article might have gone back to the early years of the Nineteenth century. Napoleon had run amuck for nearly a quarter éf a century and every nation under the sun, of any account, was against Britain, even the United States. Then in 1814 Bona- fparte was captured and shut up on the Isle of Elba, and people began to breathe much easier once more, then he managed to escape and for nearly a year was a thorn in the flesh to Britain until. he met his master at Waterloo when he was defeated at the hands of Wellington. At that time not more than ten millions of people inhabited the British Isles. Money had been poured out-like water and it would seem as if ruin was staring the Empire in the face. But after the war the most surpris- ing things began to happen. Britain was not ruined, she commenced to get her stride. Happenings changed for the better, and a most fascinating, encouraging and prosperous century: opened up to the British common- wealth. If you will only study your history you will read of the amazing expansion of her fortunes. The poor man began to come into his own. Creature comforts that had been denied royalty and the nobility of the land were found on_ the poor man's table and.everything possible for his betterment was at his disposal. No longer was he to be treated as a serf, but a gradual improvement in his condition entered into his life, and into the lives of all mankind. To-day another would-be Napoleon confronts us. We cannot and dare not anticipate defeat. If we were over- whelmed dur lot would not be nearly so happy as those living in Poland and the poor Jewish Refugees who were unfortunate enough to fall into the foul Hunnish hands. If we all do our part there is no need to fear, though the threatened danger is great. After the war, what then? Have you cver stopped to consider the won- derful times just a little way ahead? The terrible nightmare through which the world will have passed ended, and men, women and children will see a clear way ahead. The only ones who will suffer will be those who_ have been thrown right in the danger zone, who have passed through' hell's fire and whose nerves are shattered, for many of such' there will be no re- cuperation. Why do so many great industries open up at the close of a big war? Ordinarily when people reach a cer- tain age, in times of peace, they, are content to rest on their oars, to let well enough alone, the fortunes they have acquired they prefer to use for old-age, travel, and' comfortable sur- roundings, The thought of specula- tion for many will have disappeared for they prefer ease and enjoyment for the sunset of their lives, They are not apt to fling their hard earned earnings away at their time of life, They prefer the simple life and the older one gets the fewer comforts he Jrequires. But when a war is on, It the country loses in which his money is invested his money will be valueless, So a wise man lends to his country and factories and industries spring up which can be readily changed into the manufacture of peaceful articles when fear of war is gone. If the last war had not come the' art of flying would not have been nearly so far advanced as today. Necessity is the mother of [invention and the present war instead of bringing ruin upon the earth will prove a blessing in dis- guise. All the money lent to the country will be a means of hastening to a successful conclusion this unholy war, and every silver dollar lent will mean another nail in the coffin of Hitler for it will be unsafe for all mankind for him to be at large anywhere else. ERNE Tk Cl tink FLYING SQUIRREL SEEN IN SCUGOG BUSH While Messrs Geo. Schell and Lou Peace were sawing wood in the bush on the farm of Mr. Peace, they were suddenly distracted from their work by a flutteting in the trees, It was a flying squirrel. These almost ex- tinct specimen have a grey back, flat brown tail and white wings and breast. They never fly right off the ground but seen to prefer climbing a tree and then taking off. the first time Lou Pearce had scen a flying squirrel in forty-five years, and he thought probably its mate would be around somewhere, even though he hasnt seen it yet.
