to say the least are peculiar we have the gallup pollwhichjhooith some means is supposed to give a quick insight into what opinions are held by folks then we have other newspapers who get opinions of other newspaper editors and feel that the pulse of public opinion has been felt and the troublo very ably diagnosed then we have another group who prescribed the cure and ask everyone to take the cureall in liberal doses and even provide the utensils for taking then we hnve another group who feel thnt the way to get public opinion islet every individual ol voting age express his own opinion going over the patient in this manner takes longer and of course costs more and so the group who have in a do the quick checkup and those who supplied the ready made cureall are opposed to this more thorough checkup of public opinion there was a once popular song that c6mes to mind it was entitled youve got to quit kickin my dog round v voluntary service every day we get a better conception of what that saying means this time were all in the front line and every day we get a better conception of who lire the front line and who push the other fellow in front of them feverybody can play a part in the war and no matter how small that part it is import ant when sugar rations were announced there folks who bought all they could regardless of whether someone else went without when gasoline rationing comes on there will be those who will at tempt to get into a category to which they are not entitled and squeeze out those who should be in that classification these rationing plans arc an important part of the war to evade them is just as low down a trick as stabbing the frontline men in the back this month those on the home front will be asked to play another part in the battle if you cant help you arent expected to but be sure you cant help before refusing canada needs 100- 000000 to finance the war canada is willing to allow fair interest for the use of the money and all thcsecurity of canada guarantees repayment omhfr the worker whatever that may mean and on the streets one aeei gangaterlam in violent forma the men at work in the mines today are almost entirely british born while the majority of those not work ing are aliens many of them enemy aliens the lat ter should have been removed from the acene long ago the actions of all aliens prominent in the strike should be thoroughly scrutinized and de portation where justified should be carried out if it is possible to deport germans and italians it la noteworthy that everyday more men brave the risk of being blown up or beaten up or of their families being hurt and return to work it is ob vious now that tho trlko nover had the sympathy of goodmlndod canadians many fine fellow were just simply stampeded into it by clo thuggery only vlolenco and intimidation keeps the clo allvo at klrkland lake we wonder if those who would lay down their tools in sympathy with the striking miners in klrk land lake aro aware of these facts which the home paper tolls about if you want to help be sure ita friends that you help not enemies t v 1 kkiiutwur daanficaiion theres a little incident that ever since it happen ed several years ago weve been going to write it occurred in acton and since all those in it have pussed on we can tell the story perhaps you can recall a few years ago when the price of dally papers was advanced wetlone of the socalled tight- wads wouldnt pay the new high price an jie lir ranged with another subscriber of a daily piiper in town to rend his copy and incidentally paid a portion of the subscription price one morning as we waited in the post office we overhead another citizen say look there goes old the old tightwad to read a borrowed paper we were just a little surprised when we heard wflere that remark came from because the fellow who made it sent his copy of tub fiirr pruss away every week to a member of his family to save a subscription on the home paper but you know old never d that wjth the home pa he always had his own copy of tun rrfi puess and kept his subscription paid in advance when we wrote his obituary we had a kindly feeling for old we wrote the other fellows obitu ary too both have gone on and we hope when we gn en that well be put in the bunch with old and the tightwads who when they must borrow nt least are loyal to the hometown mid the home town paper v editorial notes v yes and another homefront job is to keep up your vcnr saving pledge v when you think you and your business are about the most badly abused listen to the other fellows story for awhile and youll perhaps find you are in t preferred class y v there is a sign by which you may judge an en emys growing fear the growing recklcssnessof his lies general sir
