been an accepted fact locally for over twenty- five years it seems that as we recall this has been the first attempt to acquaint the general public with the merits of the youth training program in spite of the fact that another event next week is taking most of what might be the editors leisure time this attention for the youth movement i so compelling that it has to have its place this week too lang we feel have the public taken this work among the young people for granted we do not for a moment imagine that the youth of today need any particular assistance of an older group other than the interest and audience of that group they may require the experience of older folk to guide them from the pitfalls that hinder any movement but the youth of today have training for leader ship have ability and can do the work but they do need just as every other organization the sympa thetic understanding and the applause to show that their efforts are in the right direction wo like these organizations that realize that youth has energy and a desire to tackle the world problems we like them because they do not try to suppress that energy but rather to direct it in the course where it will accomplish real good in this world we hear a lot about postwar problems many of the solutions come from men who have made a lifestudy of these roblems we believe they may have the theory in these carefully prepared documents it will however require the energy and daring of the younger men to carry them through it is fitting that even in these war times we should take more than a week to get together with these youth of today and men of tomorrow who will solve these world problems v the book of the month the task of issuing ration books is nearing com pletion locally the job was finished yesterday and it has been a well handled and a heavy consignment for five days and all one evening volunteer workers were on the job at the town hall compilations jit the time of writing this article are not available but it appeared to be quite a common occurrence for a worker in a three hour period to issue about an hund red applications when it is considered that every man woman and child has a book it can be said to be the one issue that covers canada and each community completely it is estimated that in canada 2 million copies are being iasuedt weighing 170 tons the books would till nine box cars piled singly the books would reach ii miles in- the air and their 14400000 pages would forta a ribbon more than 3 inches wide stretching five times across canada the ration book just issued is in all sense of the term the book of the month v stkk to your war savin certificates no belter interest rates arc paid on any canadian war finanoing securities than on war savings cer tificates if you hold them until full maturity they are meant to be held not cashed canada promised that it would cash the certificates under certain circumstances but ihib was done to avoid hardship in special cases not because cashing avgsjoj tificate before maturity was anything but bad for the owner and bad for canada 1 that promise will be kept of course as dominion of canada financial obligations have always been kept to the letter but too many thoughtless own- era of war savings certificates are asking canada to give tbcm back their cash now without any good reason except that they want to spend the money and at a time when the money is badly wanted to fight the battle of freedom every person who buys a certificate docs a pat riotic action and at the same time gets himself a good investment and a cushion against postwar hard times every person who cashes in a certificate unneces sarily does an unpatriotic action cheats himself of part of its value and weakens the shock absorber which may save him from nasty post war tftlmpst the certificate for which you pay 4 now is worth 5 if you keep it to maturity if you cash it in after six months you only get 4 for it net loss 1 and actually you lose more than that because by spending yonr 4 at present high prices yougct ess value per dollar than you will when prices arc back to normal r farmers have learned all about the differences iho purchasing power of money by painful experi ence that is one reason why they are among the least offenders in this matter the group which shares this honor with farmers is the financial group ihc mcnwhocach year buy the maximum amount of war savings certificates allowed by the regula tions the financiers to whom one tenth of i- means a lot of money who understand the vuct value of money and interest in terms of what n is really worth hang on to their war savings certifi cates like grim death it is the best paying thing they con find in canadian war investments it is so good in factthat in order to prevent them buying huge amounof war savings certificates instcud of victory bonds the government limits their purchas es to 480 per head per year v too great value to discontinue commenting on the fall fairs of the province the collingwood enterprisebulletin says while here and there in tho province there is the suggestion that the local fall fair might be dropped for 1043 it is not by any means a prevailing opinion this is fortunate unless there are out and out local situa tions which cannot be overcome elimination would appear to be a grave mistake the annuapfair has too great value in its community to be let fall by tho way though for but one year for one the annual meeting of the great northern exhibition has made a wise decision at its annual meeting it determined to proceed as usual complete its organi zation and lay plans even unto fixing dates for the event in september next situations the directorate may have to contend with include a possible curtailment of electric juice for the midway and the bearing the gas and tire regulations may have on the attendance as to both it is too early to worry nine months hence con ditions may be easier with corresponding benefits all around the only and right course now is that de cided upon to wit go ahead andbe a hundred per cent ready when the time is reached to hold the fall fair its educational value its fine influence and not to be overlooked its splendid war work make it almost imperative that there be no withdrawal col lingwood and nottawasaga without tho great north ern fall fair could well count 1043 a year lost v editorial notes war 23 years ago f amy by ie 1l oqumn the rise in temperature and the consequent drop in the snowbanks were indeed bright indications that even a severe winter must have an end v with the commodity ration books completed there will be all of next month to secure the ration books for gasoline purchases v the drop of 17 in the cost of living index means that until midsummer at least there will be no change and that pricecontrol is functioning success fully in canada v next month the red cross annual drive for funds will be the major war endeavor on the home front if you have any doubts about the work this great organization is doing just inquire from those who have relatives who are prisoners of war or from the sick and injured v looking over the men who today are giving their services to this country as experts assisting the government in the administration of our war effort 1 say it would be very difficult to find in any country a body of men rendering a finer scr vice prime minister mackenzie king v those in charge of issuing ration books found that it would have been helpful if the instructions in the old books had been more thoroughly read by the applicants perhaps it would be well if the new one4 were more closely studied after all it isnt a very big volume and the instruction pages are few v do you know that over 3000 persons read the newspaper every week read the news and advertis ing the feature articles and in most families this paper is kept in the home and read and reread until the next issue arrives thats a facrnot to be over looked by people engaged in all lines of business who wish more trade would come their way bur who are doing nothing about it two famous generals promise the orrmkn itrlrtutag ml
