officially the red cross campaign ended yester day but unless you have contributed your share the books are still open the task is not hnishcd until our allotment is reached and until every man woman and child has had a part in making the ob jective you dont want a man to come back home after the war and tell you that some of his buddies might also have returned with him if they had re ceived more parcels while they were prisoners you wont want to learn after the war that lack of medi cal care cost the life of your neighbors boy because ho red cross lacked the supplies that your contribu- ion would have sent thisc are days of glorious opportunity thj need now next month it will be too late for you to have your share in the victory that is just around the corner your dollars riven now whether they be many or few are the encouragement that our men need before the big invasion dont let it b said that we failed them give until it can be said that you sacrificed some thing too in the cause v some sacrifice while ouwrs iyolu one of the problems that require u cleanup before the post wur period is the abnormul consump tion in canada of intoxicating liquors in spite of the fact that outward appearances would indicate p shortage canadas liquor bill is 250 millions a year increase in the use of alcoholic beverages has gone up by 40 per cent in the case of spirits 50 per cent in the case of liquors and 30 per cent in thc case of wine canada is consuming live million gallons of spirits a year as compared with one and a hulf million gallons in 1030 instead of 40 million gallons of mult liquors in cluding beer we ure guzzling it at the rate of al most 100 million gallons a year t there used to bo about 250000 permit holders in ontario when liquor was rationed the number of permit holders increased to about million it could be mathe matically proved that almost everyone over the uge of two years in ontario has a liquor permit and we hnd the liquor interests ready to sponsor advertising appeals for red cross war savings nu trition or anything at all to give the impression they arc back of the war effort theirs is only one in terest more revenue and more sulci more custom crs with an appetite for their brews last week we find the city of kitchener council sponsoring a resolution asking for more beer tor civilians playing into the hands of the liquor pro fiteers some people in canada have made remark able sacrifices to win the war but it isnt those in teres ted in the sale of intoxicating beverages and apparently no government is big cnoughjo deal with the question juvenile delinquency is on tb3 in crease so is parental drunkenness the two go hand in hand v one exception noted the barric examiner noted last week that among all the daily and weekly newspapers large and small that came to its office only one paper last week did not give hearty support to the red cross compagn the exception was the new commonwealth party organ of the c c f careful scrutiny of its con tents failed to reveal a single mention of the red cross society victory fund is featured in large letters and readers arc urged to help raise 300000 to form a campaign fund the objective of which is to attain victory not over our nations foes but for the c c f in the next federal election foremost in the minds of most loyal canadian there is these days only one victory the victory over the evil forces of the world as represented by the axis powers victory that will ensure peace to the world and a restoration of the freedom of which suffering millions have been robbed not one thought had the c c f organ for those who sorely need the services which that great hu manitarian organization the red cross society provides this attitude however is not surprising it is quite in keeping with the record of the cc f for indifference regarding the war effort and the various activities carried on by pur people in connection therewith v lunk it over count your blessings the words of the olj gospel hymn are singularly appropriate at a time when one hears of beefing on the home front apart from mental anguish suffered by those who have lost loved ones overseas canadians have comparatively little to worry about those at home may grumble abour high taxes rationing and ofhex things but they know nothing of the suffering and privations of millions in warravaged lands canada remains untouched by wars physical de struction our people have not been made homeless by enemy bombings and families have not been torn usumer because their cities towns and villages had becom battfchclds and because of the war many of thos on the home front have been given the opportunity to earn more money than ever before in their lives canadians also have to be thankful for the fact that they live in a land of natural plenty in itself it major blessing uch u blessing if available to all other nations of the world would act as a brake on warlike spirits for why should a people endowed with plenty of natures gifts want to live the hard way the warlike way and in peace or war canadians always arc free from fear of such catastrophes as major earthquakes and floods which in many countries from time to time have taken huge tolls in life and possessions truly the physical annoyances canadians art called upon to put up with as a result of the war boil uown to petty pinpricks the joy expressed by re turning hghting men at being home again and the amazement of newcomers at the fullness of our war time life should make beefcrs pause and think v a tribute of more than ordinary note speaking in the house of commons the other day air minister power paid a tribute to the cana dian air force that will stand being lifted from the pages of hansard and given more opportunity for general reading here is part of what he said eleven thousand does not seem so very greut a number in u wur which has engulfed so muny million lives nevertheless every single one of these gallant lads taken away by the grisly mechanism of war was the pride and hope of some canadian family every life sacrificed represents un irrepurablu loss to the canadian nation those boys came from families in every walk of life from rich and poor ulike from those in high places uud those in low from the farm from the city from high school and college and university we ourselves in this house have not been immune six of our members have lost their dearest and best they were a cross section of the youth of a democracy the least professional of soldiers tlu most gallant of citizens living their young livt under varying conditions in different atmospheres in this canada of such divergent views and inter ests they found a common patriotism and a common purpose they on the threshold of their manhood de veloped h magnanimity of soul and a lofty and heroic love of country looking at the future as they did jth the wisdom of ages peering out of boyish eyes iheycaufbr lho cost tnev calculated the risk yet remulned through it all serene and undaunted let their selfless endeavour their common patriotism their unswerving purpose be i ample to us in our canadian task v editorial notes 1 think anybody who has a net income after income taxes of 15000 a yeur has far more than hi icquircs to satisfy every legitimate need m j coldwcll c c f leader a study of the income tax uould indicate that the liberal government has the same opinion adds the editor of the smiths fall- recordnews v t whether we agree with him in his stand on nil matters or not it must be a gratification to all those in halton to have a member in the house of com mons such as hughes cleaver who has the courage of his convictions to make a stand its a pleasant change to be represented by one in prominent pov- tion on the government and not a backbencher v the elora express concludes an editorial on skating rinks past and present with the follow- ng paragraph in spite of this it will
