We live in peace in thig community while our brothers, fathers and sons bear the brunt of battle not only on the sea, but also on land and in the air and it is our duty to support every effort, in order to strengthen their morale so that tht victory may be ours and not Hitler's. The Navy League has made marvel- lous contributions to our fighting naval men and our merchant seamen and jts sixteen hostels and recreation centres have added greatly towards the welfare,and comfort of these men of the sea. \ It is interesting to note that during 71942, more than two mil- lion merchant seamen crossed the thresholds of the Navy League Sea- men's Clubs where good meals were provided and, comfortable sleeping ac- comodation, hot and cold shower baths recreation anh pleasing entertainment. When these men leave the Navy League hostels, 'they do so with cou- rage in their hearts and thankfulness because of the generosity of Canadian people for all that they have received. | The Department of Naval Affairs have proclaiped time and again that the cfforts of the Navy League have | done much to keep our seamen on the I sea in keeping their morale high and their courage undaunted in the great battle of the Atlantic and Pacific. The Navy League, like the Naval Department, give the fullest praise and thanks to our men who have so nobly stood by their duty to their King and Country and it is plainly our duty to give this organization the support that is needed in order to carry on this great undertaking. The taggers for the Navy League in this community will feel that they have performed a noble and patriotic service if every citizen gives them the support which they need at this time. We must not ignore their outstretched hands for they form the first link in the chain that stretches from this community to our- brave men of the seas, carrying out concrete "thank you" for the tremendous.service they are rendering in protecting and serv- ing us, for if it were not for these men the battles of this war might well be fought on the streets, lanes, high- ways and fields of our own country. Let us rise to this task and carry. out the noble traditions of Lord Nel- son who said so many years ago "Fng- land expects that every man this day will do his duty."
