of farming there are so many times that extra money is needed for bills that must be met to take advantage of opportunities to turn a dollar with profit there are many times when a farmer needs extra money without a reserve fund he must either sell something for what he can get for it or borrow if he can get a loan victory bonds provide a safe and convenient form in which to keep savings until needed victory bonds earn double bank interest when you have victory bonds you can get a loan from any bank at any time without any formality and the interest the bonds earn pays a large part of the

reason ably young person of average or a lit tle love 1 intelligence who is paying heed to your invitation to use the col umns of jour paper the imminence of two elections one provincial and one federal should hate every young man and woman do ing some active political thinking but are we doing such thinking i believe not whv not i believe its because those people who are sincere ly interested in politics don t taut en ought its a matter of historical fact that when a person or a group of persons perceives an idea which they believe to be right and sound and wholly sat isfactory the first thing they do is to endeavour u3ln u the means at their command tospread that idea to induce others to believe in it too act- lally its a case of doing missionary work and no ancient and revered pollucaj party is justified in neglect ing that work no party can itate were the lib erals or the ccf or the progressive conservatives we are meeting on wednesdav night its your privilege and duu to attend no party can make that statement and just be cause theyve made it expect people to take an interest in the meeting that is selfevident meagre attendance at political meetings proves it a part can t reasonably expect to en list recuts just by being a party with ancestral remedies for recurring local and national symptoms a par ty must have an idea a set of prlnc rples a platform and then get out and make sure that everyone hears about it beyond the prosecution of the war than which nothing is more vital what do the two historic parties stand for what are their views on post war international trade on canada s responsibilities or lack or them to the empire on immigration what are their actual concrete plans to guard against unemployment what plans do they have for private enter prise beyond affirming that it s a good thing i lsn t enough to answer these qu estlons by stating that such and such a party is traditionally for or against free trade or for or against closer and tighter bonds within she common wealth or traditionally for or against i anything else in 1945 the answers of 1867 don t satisfy years ago men found that one of the best ways to communicate an idea to other men was to talk or write about it that same system of com munication is effective in polltcs to day and yet in spite of press and radio young canada politically is suffering from acute disinterest com plicated by corrosive ignorance were i in a position to do so i would call upon the three leading political parties of canada to state their prln clples and affirm their beuefs clearly and publicly and having stated and affirmed those principles and beliefs te get out and talk them up there was a hang of a lot more good solid political mnklng in the talkative days of the old crackerbarrel than there is to day thank you for the space pseudonym you can often make a profit if you have cash to boy young animals overseas march 11 1946 dea madam editor j fi a line in hopes you

might call it fate while others would call it jus plain ludt shortly after caen our platoon wert intojiclloi with one ol our in fany battallors and of the eighteen who went in ro one returned luckily i was one of lour who were loft be hintl as driver- after that i gave up driving to becon e a be cpl and then shortly afterwards i got my corporals stripes then came the great battles of the palalse
