back home and that is one reason we should support the loan before usnow many parents have purchased bonds with the idea they would bring their boys back sooner in many wises the boys will not re turn that should be an incentive to us to buy all we can because those who have laid down their lives have made it possible for the successes since the last loan you owe it to the dead as much as the living to back number seven loan so it will give the boys the knock out punch for once and for all money is our weapon so use it for the boys over there dick van vliet our part on the home front have you ever realized what it would be like to be lighting with our boys on some far distant battle- front i dont think that many of us know it might be exciting but not very pleasant knowing that we cannot be with them the least we can do is to take part on the homefront and that te by lending our dollars and cents we all know that this is our fifth year of war and we hope it will be the last by making it so we can invest our money in the seventh victory loan act now dont delay it might be too late do what the slogan says invest in victory joan de vries c hasten our boys return we all presume that it will not be easy to con quer nazi germany which has been taught and trained all the latest and scientific means of fighting- wars a large amount of money hasbeen spent on armaments so that our boys could have the best equipment scientists could invent to keep the supply of equipments flowing an enormous amount of money is needed the least we can do at home is to invest all the money we can in victory bonds then we can let our boys know that our hearts and minds are with them and we are trying our best to hasten their return in this way we can make sure that the seventh victory jloan is a proper success joyce smith a new curriculum the georgetown high school needs a new cur riculum as it is now we have an academic course which does not tend to help in the after school qays the addition of a commercial course home economics and manual training would be a great aid to students the academic course is alright for students who are going to go to college or be a nurse doctor or teacher but what of the students who do not choose these professions but wish to be secretaries steno graphers or carpenters for the students who are able to use their hands better than their heads unless they have sufficient funds to train them they have no alternative but to work in a factory in this position there is probably no chance of advancement therefore the student stays there and the world loses a good carpenter for the girl who plans on marrying or helping at home after leaving school a course in domestic science would help immensely they could learn to cook sew and operate on a budget for the secretarial minded girl a commercial course in high school would be a great asset if she wished she could also take a few academic subjects as it is the girl either has to go all through school and then take a business course or go as far as second form perhaps and then take one if a new curriculum was installed a greater num ber of students would attend high school and attend it for a greater length of time for parents who wish to ee as many students as pbasible attend the high school this step should be taken as soon as possible jean dickie the meaning of school school to different people means different things tggyjdet it means the greater part of their live yy of their jpvea depends v yft tncce at school will it not be those with jfcrottoot education who obtain positions after the aflflrr to some students however school is just a jyttbhg time between the weekends to others i of jail dear citizens this year as in other year the canadian legion through ue 1760 branches and auxiliaries in canada is calling to the people of the dominion that they should observe more than ever ln solemn remembrance the- sym bolism which has become an integral part of remembrance day observan ces and asks that every man woman and child wear a poppy on saturday november 11th in memory ol those who laid down their lives in the areat war and of those men and women who have- made the supreme sacrifice in the present conflict this appeal is not made on behalf of the tlegton or of its members but on behalf of all exservice men who are in need the collection and ad ministration of the poppy fund has been entrusted to the canadian le glon it is kept entirely separate and is not even treated as a part of the relief fund it is rather considered as a trust fund which the legion administrates for the benefit of all exservice men tn granting relief members of the legion receive no special preference but all exservloe men stand on an equal footing any man who has served and who is need has a claim on this fund ii the poppy day did nothing but tijpep these men selfsupporting and selfrespect ing citizens it would stlfi be worth while the organization of

pays to advertise next issue d irectory the youth of today is perhaps tempted to enjoy the present too much and to make less effort to acquire an education in early days opportunity for education was so limited that a greater effort was made to obtain one now it has been so lavishly provided that it is per haps accepted more-as- a matter of course too easily obtained to be properly valued shirley tapp halloween according to long established custom the even ing of october 1 is halloween the eve of the christian festival of all saints this holy eve originally meant a time set apart to honour the memory of all saints the modern diversions of halloween are build ing bonfires cracking otnuts playing pranks on per sona and telling of fortunes and ghost stories these customs remain in some districts and are all relics of paganism druids celebrated their harvest festival about this time while pagan goths celebrated novem ber 1st as all spirits day many old customs have remained even after the adoption of christianity a custom of this nature brings celebration and festivity but during all this we must think of those absent from our midst who are unable to celebrate with us the evil in human hearts has drawn them away from us to far distant lands tp kill and to be killed the least we can do is to employ every effort to bring about the final defeat of the enerrry and hasten their home coming that we may celebrate with them in the not top distant future craig alexander f r watson xooe hours 8 to b except thursday afternoons dr j burns mluffi dental burgeon xray georgetown
