for instance at the same time hut thr storm thst ve had on baturdey eve ning week before lost mut have been general you will recall that we had quite s windstorm and rain around fur o clock in the afternoon and that h took the odd limb off and also took its toll of fruit as veil we had a utter from flundrtdge recently which is located just lhla side of north bay and they were telling us that thry had that same storm at the same time ro there and that it took it loll of trees in that locality as wall again another gentleman from the fruit district vas telung us that he had fifty pear tree that vere on high ground and that the storm took prac tical every pear it did blow over a few staked tomatoes for us and also took a fairsized limb off one apple tree but that sua the extent of the daxnajtc around our comer rr ftkcms to be the fashbu now to use profanity more often than tt was used at one time we eeea hear it on the radio and at times it la used in the fraiitmns of the dairy papers- the user seems to hsve the idea thst a uule profanity would em phaxlr his remarks w cent see that and we always attrwiate the use of profanity with cheapness we can surely get along without the use eg profanity we would think gome years ago we were on the train and an ejjerly lady got on and the was in toxicated it as the first time ve had seen a woman in that condition some how the mistook us for her ton jim my and naturally we tried to ignore her we had never wen her teforv along with the intoxicated condltoa which she was in she cjommecxed te swear and looking back at it now ve seecwd to think that she put on quite an act we were glad when she left the train and also pleased that a vwy lmoll percentage of women in our dominion would ever sink that low tii1h rilxim to be

hest back in april and again we hod it hot enough in auguu for a day or so but a a rule it has been a cool summer and the njght mere jut about right for tlrepng verandahs merent used nesrly as much thi past summer a thiy usually are and yet it seemed t be a bummer that mode one west we had plenty ot moisture and per haps the humidity mas higher than average all summer anyway it seem ed to be no troutle at all to sweat and as amos would say we really w rated we didnt me with 111 sometimes we would envy a person thst hsd the nerve to go without a shirt veve never hsd the nerve to try but they do say that leaving the shirt off during hot weather is top alright cause at w ww id chum ti iut uni te ciomtmsw them are oniy a few kopie who wttl re interested in this advertisement dont be a welsher titts be brutally frank the man or woman who buys victory hood or certificate to save face then tells it except lo case of dire necciiity is wcliher true there la oo law which saya you cannot ael your victory bonds or certificates it la not a legal obligation that you keep them for the duration dut there is a moral promise to make a loan to your country for the war period to evade that undertaking through aale at thla time of great need la to welib it it the denial of an obligation which you admitted and accepted by your act of porchate your country does not atk you to deny yourself those decenary things which make for decent living that yoo may boy victory bonds snd certificates but the voice of public opinion does say that those persons who now insist on the uoneceuary luxuries of life are not themselves decentr of course joo hsve no immediate cause for worry no one will ask yon to cross the beach and climb the cliffs of dieppe yoo sre not in a tilt trench with stukadiebombers showering death about yoo the bluing sun of africa tha winddriven sands will never cut and blister soar skin until every exposed part of your body becomes a fettering tore no you will never feel the vibrant crash of torpedo the tilt of a ships deck under your feet as it slides to davey jones no one is taking you to leave your favorite chair tonight and fly over germany none of thete things is aiked of you all you are asked to do is to umd to your country canada lend at interest all the money yon can poitlbly spare to provide the tools for those men who sre fighting your fight yoo are not expected to deprive yourself to the extent thst you mutt live below the level of ordinary decency but if you think yoo are doing your part by baying victory bonds only to sell them then you hsd better take yourself into dark room snd atk yourself some soulsesrchlng questions ask yourself whst yoo are doing to protect yont loved ones your country and your way of life if you do this we know what the answer will be wo know because the men snd women of canada an inherently decent people they value the good opinion and respect of friends and neighbors but most important is the fact that we csnsdlsns value our own selfrespect we ssk charity from none we assume our obligation to work and lend so there ctn only be one answer yoo will bold your victory bonds snd certificates
