chrinlmah at this festive season n is indeed u privilege to extend our best wishes for a happy christmas to every one or our readers and friends we know full well it cannot be a merry one in many homes homes where loved ones are absent some of them never to return to the familiar places but christmas is a time of the birth of new hopes and out of all the turmoil surely anticipation of a return of tho days when merriment will return again to all homes from the editor and all of the staff we wish for everyone the most joyous christmas possible and the realization in the new year of the fondest hopes now cherished v w christmas 1943 christmas celebrations converge on the message and promise inherent in the birth of tho saviour nearly 2000 years ago the first christmas tidings were spoken and through war or peace the message of goodwill has been carried by the hearts and the yoiccs of men the christian spirit of goodwill and fellowship it felt most powerfully at christmas no individual remains untouched by tho hope and friendliness which reign during the closing weeks of each suc cessive year the world lives anew under tho inspir ation of the christmas season when mutual goodwill kindles a sense of tolerance and wellbeing christ endom quickens with a power and confidence that goodness and truth may yet be tho mainspring of world activity tho beginning of a new world is foreshadowed by the tremendous plans wrought recently at the conference of the worlds great leaders there is now a conviction of victory which in itself creates the feeling of fellowship and binds tho 44 united nations of diverse races and creeds in unalterable purpose this christmas we experience in a double measure the community of worldfellowship the commemor ation of the birth of the founder of christianity and the firm unwavering tread of the allied forces on the road to victory for almost 2000 years there has been the promise of a world of goodwill heralded by the angels over bethlehem for the brief season of christmas the spirit of tho christ child breathes through carols gifts and warm friendliness tho hope prevails that in somewaythn spirit will bocarrjcd forward into the years of victory which will bring problems that only justice and unswerving resolution can solve v new conditions curtail ute of laper to meet shortages of paper stocks new rulings by tho wartime prices and trades board that will tffect many lines of printing become effective the first of the year a brief study of tho provisions shows that essential lines will be looked after but much of the publicity material that was used for promotion of privately owned sports entertainment and promotion of business will be missing many printing establishments that have made a specialty of thjstype of work will be practically forced out of busurau some okthe items that local organizations have been in the habit of using will have to be changed to meet the new rulings for instance programs of concerts for organizations cannot carry any adver tising of business places hereafter and programs of privately owned places of entertainment cannot be iuued for general distribution blotters which were such a useful and attractive form of advertising cannot be printed and it would appear that blotting paper will be one of the free services that is dis continued just as delivery of small parcels has gone wo would suggest that you consult your printer 7i on any of your plans before proceeding too far with then there is no need to become panicky about printing material in general the purpose of the order is quite evidently to maintain paper stocks for those lines that are absolutely essential to the conduct of business and eliminate the lines that in such times as the present can be dispensed with we ask the cooperation of all in meeting these new con ditions and be assured we will continue to give the best service possible under the rulings set forth in communities such as ours there is no need to become alarmed over the restrictions although it will mean e change to some business v alr baists bxc divuenda one of the most potent results of the air war against germany is the damage to capacity the general puplic with its flair for the dramatic has shown most interest in pictures and eyewitness ac counts of towering flames and shattered buildings this destruction is important but as the wtialey eaton service of washington points out it is the invisible dividends of these raids that are the most profitable because of destruction from the sky nazi war factories are put out of commission for months and thousands of tanks aircraft cannon and rthcr armaments that might have been produced and used against us and our allies have never como off i assembly lines moreover many plants miles from the actual scene of the raids are unable to opera to tor the simple reason that they depend on a how of vital parts or other supplies from the factories that uro hit in thus smashing german offensives before they could begin tho air forces of croat hrituin cuniida and the united states have given invaluable assist- iincc to thc drives on the eastern front credit for this vital help however has not been as generally recognized either in this country or else where as it deserves we may not bo able to win the war by air power alone but certainly these pulveriz ing raids arc shortening it financial post v high pressure telephone calls theres probably no better way to get rich quick than to buy stock in 4 undeveloped canadian gold mines it is not however a guaranteed receipt for easy riches it is not investment but speculation now there is no reason why canadians should not speculate providing that they clearly understand that they are just taking a chance citizens should however be protected from stock salesmen who try to sell speculative stocks as giltedged securities the ontario securities act seeks to provide this protection one of the provisions of the act is that no per son shall call at any residence for tho purpose of trading in any security with the public the word call includes telephonic communications tho word public the act stipulates shall not include personal friends business associates or customers with whom the person making the ofler has been in the habit in the past of doing regular business in tho sale of or obtaining subscriptions for securities in other words if some strange salesman for a brokerage firm with whictryou have had no dealings calls you on the telephone ho is breaking the law that should make you suspicious of his motives a little common sense will tell you that if a stock salesman finds it so difficult to dispose of a stock that he must resort to long distance telephone calls t strangers there is some doubt about the value of the stock there have been numerous reports recently of citizens receiving telephone calls from stock sales men in toronto and montreal the telephone com pany cant halt this practice because it has no power to enquire into the nature of calls passing over its lines the police can stop it but only if individual citizens cooperate so the next time an unknown stock salesman not connected with a brokerage firm with which you have been doing business calls you at your home on the telephone communicate with the police owen sound suntimes v tlhtokial
