The showing was unusually large. There were over one hundred persons in fancy or comic costume. To adequately describe the special skating events is rather beyond the. ability "of the present writer, They were all lovely exhibitions of grace, and, at times, of almost unbelievable skill. Even though the artists were hampered by the small- ness of the ice, their performances were received with unbounded admiration by the spectators. Naturally the great ovations were given to Miss Norah McCarthy and Mr, Gilchrist, Canada's foremost figure skaters; but the amateurs all gave brilliant performances, and the Oshawa Skating .Club may well be proud of its skilled members--Little Donne Steckley, Miss Diana Hambly, the Leavens Sisters, Miss Jessie Coulthurst, Miss Ruby Stirling and Mr. Ralph Fogal, the Hielan' - Lassies, and the Waltzing Group. ~~ Agari Back of this splendid Carnival was an efficient and hard working Committee, who deserve the thanks of this community for providing this grand entertainment.

When Finance Minister Isley asked Canadians for a loan of $600,000,000, he knew that he was not expecting too much. Canadians "have that amount in the Savings Accounts, and many hundreds of millions more. | It i$ puzzling to know what keeps many depositors from buy- ing Victory Bonds. They surely do not understand the actual situation. It cannot be that they fear that they will come to want, for many of them have ample funds for nor- mal living, and plenty to purchase a, substantial Victory Bond. * The peculiar fact is that the people with little are so much more willing to pinch and save and buy than many who would not have to either pinch or save in order to buy. ~~ Those same b little are general who share most generously what eople- who have little they have. y the ones, too, | Another strange fact is that the extremely cautious holders of Savings Accounts, who hesitate to buy Victory Bonds, seem unable to realize that their hesitation (if it became general) would imperil all Savings Accounts. ~The day is coming when the willing supporters will. not be able to carry the load alone, for this is. going to be a long war, a. difficult - re-adjustment when war ceases, and peace is declared. i ana That simply.means that the. day is coming when every Canadian will be compelled by the .emergen- cies of war to do his full share of giving and lending--if he wishes to protect his present happy way of ving, ~~» ro Fit "Eventually, why not NOW?"
