day this is the fltth one in which millions of mothers the world over have hoped that before an other may rolls around the war would be over and there would be reunions of loved ones under the home roof who have long been separated it will not be possible for those on the figthting fronts to wear a flower in her honor but the out ward token is not necessary in times like these as long as tho lies of love are in the heart of mothers and sons and daughters everywhere and thoughts are turned toward her on tjhis day the years have seen many of these tics broken sons havo paid the sacrihce and will not return to hc homo again other sons who will return will find mothers place vacant and she will not be on hand to welcome their home coming but memory of mothor and mothers love will not be long with thev distance or the separation many a missive from over the ocean will gladden the hearts of mothers at home on this day many a lottcr of encourage ment to a son in the lighting line will cheer him up for tho distasteful task that lies ahead of him mothers and sons and daughters can hope this year with great- expectation of fulfilment than in any of tho other of these live years that before an other mothers day rolls round there will be theso happy reunions and once again the home con be ths gathering place of i the family in a world at peace and tho prayer that will be in the hearts of all will bo that every son possible will be spared for that glorious reunion in peace noxt sunday is mothers day honor her or hjr memory v opportunity has almost passed the last days of the sixth victory loan period ore with us only a few more days and the opportunity for sharing in it will be over it may be the last loan and there may be many more but until the goal is reached ami you have satisfied yourself that you have participated to your limit your share of the job is not done our desk is littered with material that we have hesitated to discard believing there might be some thought in it that would bring home the importance of all sharing in the task time will not permit us to go through it again and sift it out but we do know that next weeks edition of the home paper that the boys overseas get will tell them whether we have backed them up or failed make no mistake about if the boys from acton and district are watch ing to see if the home town came through they are not as much interested in what some big city ov some province did to back them up they will want to know what acton their home town did in tho sixth viotory loan you know how you would feel if you were miles from home fighting it out for the folks back home and you received the news that your home town didnt seem to care enough to meet its objeqpve you are the one who can give that encouragement to them but you have to do it now or face the question when they come back what happened to you folks in tho sixth victory loan can you tell them you did your best v sctfbeliant small towns t many smalltown weekly newspapers report that local organizations have set up postwar committees- these committees try to find out how many jobs will be available for the boys when they get out of uniform so far it has been noticed few small towns are proposing that local problems be settled by having the dominion and provincial government spend money locally to provide jobs perhaps the smalt towns realize they havent the political influence to exert sufficient pressure on ottawa and provincial capitals this is in pleasant contrast to the great cities where there are organizations which are asking or intend to ask that the dominion come forward and help in a big way the bigger and richer these cities are the more certain they are that the taxpayers in smaller places should help them out the printed word v ftaa holiday nor because tho war might be coming to n end but because it is not canadians at home should plan some holidays this year this is a year when many sacrifices will be asked of those on tho home front a year when there will be tragic news from overseas this prospect will temper any thoughtless in clination to unnecessary rest and relaxation at the same time its realization should move canadians at home to permit themselves vacations that are economical and necessary no one is going to do his job well by sacrificing his normal rest period to his own sense of import ance even our most active soldiers and statesmen take time off for the rest they know is necessary for continuance of the pace at which they work this year promises to make a sterner call than ever on the sustained strength of body and nerve in the industrial and farming populations that call cannot be met by worn out workers so plan your holiday this year within the mild wartime restric tions applying in canada get away from everything for a period in the summer or fall even from shav ing or housekeeping if you can nd build up the strength you will need later theres no need to spend money that should be saved advance planning of economics can make u vacation as cheap as staying at homo pick your fishing or loafing- spot now and enjoy looking for ward to it of course you should limit your travel severely and journey wherever practicable in mid week spend your holiday at home if you can get the same rest and relaxation there as you would ill the country yes take that holiday in a way that doesnt impede the war effort make it strengthen it with a renewal of your vigor v the onions comeback tho clumsy stride of war topples many an estab lished value but now and
