inch guns our heavy field artillery and our fast bombing pianos there are men men who a few months ago followed peacetime pursuits were a part of the tremen dous pulsating entity that we call canada they were our fathers our brothers and our sons today these men canadian citizens who have taken their leave from so ciety for a few months or a few years have assumed another task they are girding themselves for war a war that is to determine whether or not we are to be free to live as individuals free to worship as we wish free to think and do as we have been ac customed for this freedom which many of them may jiot live to enjoy they are making courageous sacrifices volunta rlly and with no thought of personal gain they have given up their home life jobs and social pleasures and they know the grim duty that lies ahead the inevitable thinning of their ranks how can we who remain at hometo keep the wheels of industry revolving make our contribution small though the largest may be in comparison to the cause for which our men am fighting the answer is simple the accumulative effect of our nickels and dimes can have a tremendous bearing on the welfare and esprit decorps of those who have marched away can ensure that when they return they will fit into life as useful self sus talning c tlzens and not as was the case of their older comrades of twen ty years ago men thrown back into a society which was new and strange to them our nlckles and dimes can provide them witn the kind of enterjainment and diversion that will keep up their morale and fighting spirit without which defeat would be inevitable and l e millions of dollars that are being pent on munitions and armaments would be wasted no wars have been won by men who lacked morale the canadian legion war sen ices has in operation today both at home and overseas a program of work that open avenues where civilians mav make contributions of inestlmablt value to our armed forces its educa tion efforta by means of which it is providing the men with opportunluea to fit themselves for their return is alone worthy of generous upport its services by means of entertainment personal guidance and help recre tion and so on are equally deserving au this week the legion is appeal lng for the support of canadians to enable continuation and indeed ex panalon of this important welfare work five hundred thousand dollars less than five cents from every per son in the dominion is needed to carry on here then is an oppor tunlty for every canadian at no sa crlflce whatever to play his port by giving to ihe legion we ore giving to our fighting men few greater con lributlons can be made not only to ward helping to win the war itself but toward paving the way for a more prpsperouf democracy therein lies our duty or f w

colony of the netherlands new york s first silversmiths were mostly of holland dutch birth or heritage and al though by 1660 new york had be- come an english colony the silver made by its craftsmen retained the dutch flavor both in design and or na mentation gradually this was modified by the influx of english and huguenot craftsmen the re suit was pieces of silver with a dis unction a 1 their own in form and ornamentation they were a mingling t b in the dutcl and english tra in ons with slight touches of the trench reflecting the presence of a lightly knit though smull group of huguenots
