the georgetown herald wednexlay evening february 36thl94l the editors corner its not over war savings month officially ends on friday night- thisgreat pledge campaign which has been un- derway for the past four weeks differs from most cam paigns which fix a definite objective arid end when that objective is reached- the objective of the war savings pledge cam paign has been to enlist an army of war savers who through their continual purchases of certificates dur ing the course of the next few years will help to supply the money wruch is urgently needed for the prosecution of the war everyone should by now be well aware that the costof this war is reaching to a staggering to tal government estimates show expenditures of over 2j2 billion dollars in 194142 half of which are for war purposes this is the largest war appropriation in can adas history and even then the government is not op timistic when it states that war costs are expected to exceed this estimated figure the people of canada are being asked to save ten million dollars a month by purchasing war savings certificates this burden falls not so much on wealthy men on companies and corporations banks and trust funds these can provide ready cash for the govern ment by buying bonds and paying greatlyinc teased in come taxes it is to the man on the street to youand you and you that the government appeals when it asks you to pledge to buy these certificates regularly in the fu ture your money is not being confiscated you are receiving a fair rate of interest and your loan is backed by the greatest backer in the country which is the country itself no the campaign is not over it is just begin- ning and its repercussions will be felt in a steady flow of dollars into the everemptying pockets of a govern ment which is bent on winning a great battle cor free dom so in the months to come remember your pledge and serve by saving march the 4th is the date when the georgetown branch of the red cross- held its annual meeting a few weeks ago president le- roy dale stated that the branch would have to raise 1 000 before next september in order to continue the work which it is capable of doing georgetown women have given generously of their time and skill to red cross work and they are prepared to keep up this work in the futirre money is urgently needed to buy wool and other materials and an initial effort to raise this money will take the form of an ice carnival a the are na next tuesday march 4th it has been decided to keep the carnival purely local visiting ice stars which perhaps make a better carnival are also a costly proposition by keeping such expenses down a larger percentage of the proceeds will be available for red cross expenditures port elgin a little town of some 1 300 people raised 550 in

as far m their endowments and aptitude would enable them prof itably to go take upon themselves a grave responsibility fortunately for their own peace of mind they are of ten those who were similarly deprived of educational opportunities in their youth and who therefore do not real ize what they themselves missed and what their children will miss some of them however azenewspapex rea den and we make this suggestion to them that to be without a high school education is a greater disadvantage today than it was 30 30 or 40 years ago for the present we are at war and there la an opening for every body but even for the army education is an advantage and for the much sought after pilots job education is essential 3ut we will not always be at wax probably we will get back in time to the difficult economy of plenty when men compete with each other for the chance to do the little work that is to be done thenras during the past few years education may mean the diff erence between employment and the breadline a high school education is just as important for a girl we think as for a boy for while a girl may not herself be the breadwinner of her family she usually marries a man whose education is not greatly different from her own education doesnt end with school it begins there and if the boy or girl has been fortunate in his or her tea chers he or she goes on through life learning inquiring reading thinking developing a richer personality and a more capable personality for most of us it takes all the schooling we can get to enable us to take over successfully the direction of our own education if it is a responsibility to discourage our children from finishing their high school education and there are peo ple doing it it is a privilege to urge them on to get every possible drop of formal education that they can high school certainly and university if at all possible it is difficult to finance a university education and ye it is just from those homes that have difficulty that our country and our world need new leaders armed with a knowledge of the difficulties and problems of work aday people and equipped for the fray with an education no whit inferior to that of the representatives of an easier bill tub hobo broadcast from button woe by gabriel beatter ladles and oeouemen maybe there is a dog at your house who is holding his bead up tonight with

looked up nuxded his soft brown eyes troubled bylt as u he couldnt understand ft then when bombs came crashing down he barked violently and finally neighbours noticed he would always run after firemen fight lng ore caused by falling bombs as if he meant everyone lo know he was doing his part about a week ago peo ple noticed he would come out early and go straight to a hilltop where hen took up his poet waited and look- ed up at a sky tn which he knew plan- es were hiding behind clouds and suddenly he would come dash ing down a block and barktag violent- ly in front of every house and tune limes in ten he was right the air raid warnings would be heard and people were amazed to realize here was a dog who had finally figured it out planes overhead spelled danger he was a lookout he could sense a plane as fast as any antiaircraft gun and when he did his job was to race up and down this street and bark and warn everyone of danger and just before dusk last night a piece of metal caught him as he tur- ned back for one angry challenging bark at a plane overhead and today people walked behind his body as peo ple might walk behind any great hero and everyone told of times when bill saved people by shouting an alarm of danger and how he would never run for cover until he felt ev eryone was out and safe and today people marched behind him and wept and if your dogs head is held just an extra measure high tonight maybe he has heard about a dog named bill just a plain everyday dog who like plain every day people make you hold your own head up and still believe in a better future when
