The re- ci'uiting casupaigu, was launched three weeks age by the three Ministers admnisteriug the three separate services. There are other weekly papers that have been backing this drive; lu fact the leaders lu this f ield, even while calliug for a stronger wartiine govern- meut, uevertheless insist, demaud and en- courage the fulfillinent of this quota. The Free Press says:- "1Probably the whole quota froin Simcoe Oounty wiil be secured; God grant it may be s. " The Statesman has taken a course, inde- peudentiy, whiceh corresponds with the views cf those we mention; but recuits te, date appareutly fait fai' short of the objective.

Only by so doing eau we diseharge our res- ponibility te our readers who are called upon ta give Up their sons lu the'cause of freedei n sd Democi'acy. .Here la a summary gen'eraly descriptive of the goveruzaent's policy lu ulifary af- fairs lu Uic County of Durhamn: We, f ortim- ateiy, recruited hereabouta, thc lat., Midland Battalion. It was traiued piecemeal, within Uic two Ounties of Durham & Northumber- land sud ha@ moved elsewhei'e sud wili need much more intensive traiug after havlug been mobolized for well ove a yeai'. Next, we recrited the 2ud. Midlands, (N.P.Â.M.) sud had areund 125 enlisted sud tr'aining on -part turne, aud at part pay. They were- yeung, keen, volunteers. They were ready sud responsive to reslly inspii'ed national leadership.

And s0 teday we have a. fil complemeut cf efficers sud N-C.O's with enly three privates. This rein- nant tramns oniy once a week rather than twice a week as foi'merly. More than that, Uiey are asked te turu out with the Veteran Guard, presu.mably te keep the public froin noticing their raggedy ranks. No~w they are asked f0 corne back sud Join the 32,000. Wil they do se?

We toc, like the Midland Free Press, hope sud pray we eau achieve the quota because it wiil help te, offset Uic uubrekeu succession of victeries' that Hitier has won. If there is failure, then al we ean be expected te do la te repeat what we have long ince advoe- ated; sud that is compietely centralized National autherity, headed by oue single, forceful man who la nef afraid cf gettlug blood ou his handsansd who will immediately ot-der aud cuforce abseinte, outright con- script ion.

THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1941 ment is that it pays tribute to the distribut- ors cf news reels who have kept Oanadian audiences well-inÉformed on the latest hap- penings in England and throughout war- forn Europe and Africa. Working under restraint cf censors.hip the news companies have produced scenes cf latest war events along with current news happenings at home. Victory Loan Boosters Bowmanviile and Darlington people were given an epportunity on Sunday afternoon snd evening cf heari.ng just wh.y it is 80 vitally necessary to subscribe the full $600,- 000,000 for the Victory Loan cf .1941,.. and qickly toe. This was made possible thrlough the generosity cf Mrs. 0. T. Ross who opened the doors cf the Royal Theatre' freely for people toecome and see a motion picture cf Canada at war and hear A. N. Mitchell, President cf Canada Life Assur- ance Co., deliver from the screen oe eof the niomt powerful addresses yet to be heard in this drive toward victory. The address ap- pears elsewhere in this issue. Local 189 U.R.W.Â. engaged the hall for the afternoon and invited the public prier te their general'business session. The audi- ence heard prepared addresses of Mr. Spin- ney, national chairman and Commander Neltes cf the Canadian Navy, as the reel unfolded shcwing ships, planes, tanks, guins, wheat a.nd ail the things that require ever ready money; but there was ene omission and that wa.s the absence of announcement of the name cf the final speaker. Only through enquiry eould people find eut from those who reccgnized him, that Al. Mitchell, formerly of Enniskillen, was the man giving extemporaneous expression iu white-hot words and gestures te just what we had ta do to save eur country and oui' very homes. At the Businesa session of Local 189, in- mediatcly foilowing, the inembers voted $500.00 for Victory Bonds. Thus was the value cf film and oration Made manifest. That la the klnd cf appeal that iregisters and. it should be employed froin coast te coast. In a good many communities, aud Bowmanville is oeeof them, there la toc much of pettiness and jealousy te achieve that cooperation necessary for 100 per cent fulfimeut cf quota. Thanks are due te Mi'. Mitchell who ree- pcnded instantly by long distance ta the Statesman 's suggestion of getting the film, and deep appreciation la due te ever-gener- ous Mrs. Ross and to Local 189 which gave both cooperaticu and cash te keep the bali relhing. ___________ The Press And Local Ilistory Few people, as they read their weekly newspapers realize that they are reading perhaps the only contemporai'y histoi'y of their community it la possible to rcad. It la doubtful toc if they realize that as each is- sue getu..old, th. more valuable it beecine,. and that the aid fyles cf a newspapei' are from a historical standpoint, cf incalculable worth. The newspaper fyles are the most authent- ic history cf thé' community available. They tell the story cf the commumity 's life as it happens. Past history is important ta those who live in the present. Those cf us whc live la modern suri'iouudings are sometimes apt te forget the sacrifices of those who made the commiinity what it is teday. It is net se, vei'y long ago when the tei'ritory served by weeklY newspapei's was virgin forest or prairie, untouched by the hand cf the white man. It wvas a territory uponL which the plow-point had neyer turned a fur'o-w, a wild and 'beautiful country lu its natural state. In the meantine men have worked, and schemed and planued and ta- day we have every modernenvenience, churches, schools, libraries, theatres, electric lights, scwers, sidewalks, paved streets and a hunêred and eue other cenveniences oui' forefathers neyer dreamed of. These things did not corne about by chance or by natural evolution. They came about because men toiled ceaeelessly te leave behind them a bet- ter world than that into which they came. Their devotion, their struggles, their ideals, their initiative and determination should be an inspiration ta succeediug generations. And the record of their achievements ap- pears in the fyles cf the local newspapers, and that is why thy are such valuable re- cords cf the triumphs cf the pioneers.

A veteran of bath thce Ber War and the Great War cf 1914-18, he spoke optùiitically on the as- pects cf the present war and told of the types cf guns used in mc- .dern warfare. 1 that there la "ne terrer that travels by night."

Federation Progresa Local meetings held 1sf ely for the purpose of ciapleting Township imita cf the Feder- ation of Agriculture for Durham Ceuuty have been fairly wdil atteuded, whieh speaks well fer the progressansd survival cf this lateat fariner movemeut. It la unfortunate that larger meeting. failed te materialize be- cause the speakers secured were exceptional- ly able sud wel l nformed. Two main causes keep many at home; lack of farin heip and failure te remember the dates of the meet- ings. Early lu the year the roads were in- passable. But progreu s l sure. There la eue thing we, as a paper which hss supported the Federation frein the very begiuulug, should say to those who were chosen at Orone as provincial directors. If is this: Do net fail te attend Township meet- ings lu your district, because failure te at- tend will give thc "I told you se's" geod cause te say that the thing la a failure. At the Hamnpt ou meeting, two directors failed f0 appear or send word. There may have been goad resens, but if was net goed business. We eau say with goed resson that the Canadien Federation cf Agriculture wili survive because if la gi'awing lu membership sud influence week by week. Wheu Uic Orono meeting teck place there were saine 15 nuits in Ontario. Since that time these affiliates have increased neariy 100 per cent. And within the peut week, at a convention lu Winnipeg, a National Secretary bas been chosen to open au Ottawa office sud acfively represeut farmers frein ceast te coaf as cf- fectively as orgauized labor snd industry. With all this in mimd we cau say fao thaf the Durhamn Federation wil survive and ought te have support. Helping Ourselves Here sud there f hroughout the Dominion of Canada ,some cifizeas have allewed thein- selves ta become bewildered by large figures which represeut the cests ef this war f0 Canada., Apparent ly, they seau the head- hunes, note Uic billions cf dollars which are beiug speut fa fight Hitler; sud then sit back sud moan somethiug of this' kiud: "H11ow lu Uic warld wil the governeut cf Canada ever find the money te repsy the people who have luvesfed lu War Sav- ings Cerfificates sud Wam Losu Bonds V" What saine cf these people overlook is the fact thaf the Gaverameut of the country was not foollug when if declared thaf Cana- da would operate ou s "psy as yen go"~ policy. There was eue point which the Minister of Finance broughf ouf in his Budget Speech on Apnil 29, 1941, that should be me- emphasized te allay foolish fears. The Min- ister rcperted that, excludlug the assistance which this countri'agiviug Great Brifain, Canadians lu this fiscal yeam are providing, by their fax payn&eutsansd ether Geveru- mieut Revenues, 79 per cent of cur Wam aud sud nou-War budgetary expenses. In ether words Canada is exei'cisiug a very greaf measure ef coufrol over the ainaunt of debt being piled up for future paymeut. Iu Uic light of conditions ail over the world, it la not toc extravagant ta say thaf the security behind Canada 's War Savings Certificafes sud War Loan Bonds la just about the beat in the world today.
