It's on the C.P.R. line to Peterboro, less than an hour's ride from the Union Station. The train goes up every Sunday, leav- ing at nine, Did you know that it is the, best recreational ski centre in Southern Ontario? You didn't! Oh, [vou have been Hstening to Esson or Jost. You want to go to Holland J Landing "or Collingwood. - Holland Landing new, just 'an infant, not tried and true like our Dagmar, And Col- lingwood--nine. hundred "feet high. Who wants to"go that high?--a bunch of dare devils." Listen Shum, you go to Dagmar. About 6000 went up by train alone last year, Lots of open slopes, some trails, and the easiest, to us, tow in the world. And this year a new rope, and hélp us, and a new fence for the lead-in. Last year with the- picket snow fencing the lead-in filled with drifts and slowed. up operations. Fifty per cent. of the skiiers were sea sick by the time they got to the ticket house. Yeh! and another thing, the tow is only half the price of the others, of course, its only half as long, but what has that got to do with it. The Clubhouse, or should we say the "Lodge", a wax room and everything, Yeh, we know the wash room wasn't warm early enough half the time last year, but things have been changed. Wait till your betterhalf sees the kitchen, paint all over everything. Oh yes, and the doors--red. Simply too, too. You could sec them from Leaside, if you climbed on top of the engine. And speaking of engines rec- minds us of something we read some- where, sometime during the last couple of weeks. How about taking those poles off the tips of your skis and quit playing Sir Lancelot. Try pushing each pole grip first through each toe strap one each ski. © Then hang them over the tips by the wrist strap.. If you then want to get them completely out of the way, tie or strap the webbing to the skis so that they lay flat. ike tema However, to get back to Dagmar, where we belong, the tow also runs every Saturday that conditions are favorable. There are many farm houses in the district where week-end or weekly accommodation may be ar- ranged. There is free instruction for T.S.C. members every Sunday after- noon and if we get enough ambition we will try one of these ski tours that were started at Caledon, One thing you may bank on, the tour will be short unless someone else runs it. We towritis. Did anyone else get this far?' Victory Loan Address Delivered by Syl. Apps It 'may seem rather presumptuous on my part to stand here and urge you to buy the new Victory Bonds, because Ti imagine that you are fully aware of the urgency of' this need as I dm. But, if you will bear with me for a few minutes, I may be able to place before you some facts that may have not occurred to you. At one time it was considered that money played but a very minor part in the conduct of war. That was true in the days when men fought with bow and arrows, or even in more re- cent days when men fought only with rifle and bayonets and old-fashioned canon, But 'modern warfare has changed all that. In modern warfare the fight really starts on the en- gineer's drafting board. Then goes right through foundry ,and machine shop to dockyards, arsenal and air- port 'until it emerges into weapons of precision and power, t - When you consider also that. this war -is 'no longer a combat between armed forces alone," but that Hitler and his satellites have waged war .on civilians (even to a greater extent than they have' against the fighting services) you will understand what is meant by total war; And if you un- derstand the . terrible meaning of Total War, you will understand that you, with your money, can play so vital and so necessary a'part in fight- ing Total War. : In short, Total War means the mobilization of all our résources in men, material and money. Thestime has -passed when you and I have an illusion as to what may happen to us if the Nazis tri hed. We dare not contemplate such catastrophe, but let us not be overconfident and under- rate the strength of the Nazis and the Japs. They know now that they have nothing to lose and everything to gain; consequently. we may expect them to be even more ruthless and barbaric in the future than they have been in the past, They will stop at nothing to win, But no matter, they have asked for Total War. Let us all see to it that they get it. They play rough; but Mr.' 'Churchill said "We can play rough, too", and looking around me I see on many of your faces a grim re- solve and determination: to do your utmost to provide our men with all that they need to carry the war to the enemy and to beat the life out of him. L We ghpuld not speak of lending our money" to our country in terms of sacrifice: Rather should we consider it an honour and a privilege. _ I urge- you therefore to make un swift and willing decision to buy the new Victory Bonds. You will dis- cover that they are first a good in- vestment, that they pay a fair rate of interest; and that if needs be, they can be sold more readily than any other security. Victory Bonds are also an anchor to windward should you ever need to borrow money and use them as security for the loan. Hut beyond all this, remember when you buy Victory Bonds, you yourself will have a personal stake in victory. Re- member, too, that if you don't happen to have sufficient ready cash, you can buy them by instalments out of future earnings. Either your employers or your bank will assist you in making arrangements to do this. PROSPECT Sorry to hear of the illness of Mr. A. Gilroy.
