benediction over peoples and lands shackled by a foe whose barbarities for the moment have cast a dark screen over the beacon light of christian faith to the oppressed peoples of europe tho cry christus resurreyit comes with new emphasis as armies of the united nations carry the battle for freedom closer and closer to the walls of the nazi fortress from the depths of their enslavement they see the emancipating hope of easter symbolized in the democracies crusade to destroy the evils of dictatorship and to lay the foundations of a rehabili tated world it is a far cry from the battlefields of europe africa and asia to canada where the miracles of rebirth coats our wide rolling lands with a mantle of green and the birds return to their summer ren dezvous this year easier sunday falls on the lat est possible date in its wanderings anytime from march 22 to april 25 and the change from winter should be more marked than is frequently the case more than ever this year tho coming of easter and springtime reminds canadians of the freedom born of the democratic way of life in spite of the marching of heroic sons girding for battle and the impedimenta of war there is peace in the land the dominion is free of the hatred the cruelty and the bigotry engendered by the naji creed and this easter a grateful people will combine prayers for victory over the forces of evil with others for a set tlement that wilt cnuretajiting peace and a new order for the millions now ground under the heel ot the oppressor v v will you next week canada tackles its fourth victory loan the biggest loan ever attempted as u share of thut loan acton and district tin j hulton county are asked to assume the biggest financial job of the war it can be done if every individual pulls all the load he or she is able to handle last week there were unother half dozen or so from this district who joined the forces overseas for nearly four years this fine canadian army has been assembling overseas ready for the attack they have had weary months of dull drill and rou tine getting ready to launch the attack victory loan dollars will provide the guns the ammunition the food and the care for the front line fighters if we lived in germany or any of the countries now occupied it wouldnt be necessary to usk for u loan of the money there would be no interest promised either the nazi way is to just take it by force the democratic wa is to appeal to our reason arid request a loart and remember your subscription is just a loan repayable at any time that you may have a dire need for it interest on the loan at three per cent and backed by the best secur ity obtainable other issues of victory bonds are selling above par the job is big but not impossible backers are wanted for the attack buy all you can now bud get your future earnings to only essentials and the most bonds you can take back the attack a leader will be chosen nextjweek the liberals of ontario will meet in converitfon to select a leader for the province to re- placethe former colorful mr hepburn the choice t this point scent to centre down to three bnt of course a conveatioti may make a selectjofi entirely beyond these confines and some of the notao prominently mentioned msy make a good showing- mr conant on whom the mantle was deposi by mr hepburn when he left the post does not ap pear to be running near top place and we doubt if the last session raised bis chances mr roebuck now in dominion politics is mentioned as another likely good runner and definitely has his hat in the ring and some considerable following he is con ducting an active campaign for the position per haps like his predecessor he hasnt accomplished as much as he- expected while in ottawa- and hopes to make more headlines in toronto where he is best known v according to a galhirjjoll recently reported jo the daily press the choice of the people is the hon hariy nixon without a doubt this choice would bo most attractive to therural vote as mr nixon is a fanner and knows the farmers problems it appears that he wears well with those who know him best as be has represented his constituency continuously for thirteen years in the legislature and in 1037 was re turned with a majority of over 6j00o mr nixon also has pronounced views and best of all the courage to back them up he was twice offered the premiership but refused it to attempt to get it in what he considers the more democratic way he hasnt hesitated either to vote against his party when the matter of his principles were at stake the one thing that is sometimes heard about mr nixon is that he isnt colorful or sensational enough perhaps liberals will agree that even color can be overdone and that lack of it would at least be rest ful more helpful to canada as a whole and save some from going color blind we could say alot of fine things about hon harry nixon that have been brought out during his public career wc hope the gallup poll is correct and that he is the choice for leadership because we believe that under him on tario would become a better part of tho dominion and play a greater and more cooperative part in the war effort and in the days that follow the war v the greatest newspaper a famous newspaper publisher recently made this statement the greatest newspaper in the world to day is not the new york times nor the london times but your own local newspaper it alone gives ou your life and breathes of home how true are these words johnny is born in a town and grows up there and if that town has a newspaper the history of johnnys life will be chronicled in its columns from johnnys bjrlh his christening his progress at studies in sports and community activities right through to his entrance into husiness or a profession it is all there from time to time for parents relatives and friends to read and ready to be clipped for family scrapbooks what large daily in any great city carries items of equal interest to those folk yes we admit there are still folk who snicker and derive some sort of amusement at such items as miss mary prescott spent her vacation in buf falo ny or mrs gordon bookerson hascomc to pltnsantville to reside with her dughter they for get they are parcel and part of the local weekly they cannot read behind the lines and see that mary prescotts vacation was taken as the result of sav- injrfor months or that mrs bookerson is living with her daughter only by necessity to the regular sub scriber the life of the community is mirrored on the puges of the local paper it is also true that the best literature in the world is your own name in print and the local paper is crammed with names of local people astory comes from ottawitoln prominent citi zen who was honored for distinguished service the metropolitan papers across the country played it up but the writeup which thrilled this man the most and brought a glint to his eyes was the one ap pearing in the small town

every canadian house holder should aim to have a victory garden this year those who want early potatoes and vegetables should do their seeding at once thereby as suring fhemselve of healthgiving foods at low cost during the summer the commercial supply of carrots cabbage tomatoes onions beans green peas and sweet corn is not ex pected to be adequate to the demand along with such vegetables the fol lowing should be grown lettuce swiss chard broccoli and spinach these are valuable in the diet sup plying vitamins and minerals neces sary to health and vigor the vine crops cucumbers marrow and squash do not fit the small garden and should be grown only where space is abundant plan your victory garden careful ly so that there will be no waste of space nor overcrowding vegetable and flower seed lists should be oo pleted now and the varieties desired should be ordered from a reliable seed house or your local merchant if you are not growing your own tomato cabbage cauliflower broccoli e plant and celery plants you should order your requirements a recom mended list for your district may bo obtained from your- provincial de partment of agriculture or from the federal department of agriculture the health league of canada urges the planting of victory gar dens throughout the country because vegetables are essential to good ttu trltion but when making out your seed list do not
