Living (Killed ini Action luitaly) Rehabilitation Committee lias ImDortant Tasks Ahead We are begfiniing to fe that publie sen- timent is failing to give to the local Re- habilitation Comimittee the support and en- couragemnent required effectively to carry on the objectives under which it w-as formed. T1he plans which were acclaiined with en- thusiasm appear not to be moving with the dispatch necessary to cope with developing needs. It is true that many intervening mat- ters have claiined attention, such as the Red Cross campaign, Victory Loan, and two gen- eral elections. But now-, with the w-ar ini Europe over and these other matters gone from the agenda, w-e shall simply have to gel dow-n to brass tacks and give the Com- xittee the backing which citizens have shown they eau do whlen occasion dexnands. The occasion is here. During the past fe~vweeks, many soldiers who have fought abroad, have corne home to Bowmanville and xnany more will be arriv- ing almost day by day. We were assured that District Military Headquarters would give notification of ail arrivais but there have been occasions w-heu this lias failed. The Statesman lias tried its best to get new-s, flot onlv of those who have returned but of those w-ho have enlisted for the Pacifie war, ail as a matter of generous public record. But w'e find the task almost impossible due to lack of co-ordination or co-operation. To compile an Honor Roll, to render assistance and a welcome, has been in the thoughts of ail, but there appears 10 have been a let down in recent wveeks. Have w-e gone as~ far as w-e plaîined in re- gard to the general survey of jobs, business- es, public works, social concernls and other things w-e had decided as most necessaryv as part of our local rehabilitation programme? We have seen that the boys w-ho have come back, generally, -ish flot 10 be 'fussed over,' that they want to bc mostlv on their own ii working ont their re-adjustment. But even this quite understandable desire icannot absolve the communitv from its duty iin going ahead resolutelv with the original plans of the Coînmittee. For there are serions limes ahead. We believe w-e ex- press the publie feeling that no lime should be lost in getting behind the Rehlabilitation Committee ini is task of doing ahl possible for those wîho have done so much for us, par- ticularly for the tomnorrow- that is just around the corner. Drew Government Faces Great Tasks and Severe Tests For bbce nexl four years or more lime ]Yrew- Govcrnmcnt will carry onu muder tests even more exactimmg thami those faced during lie past 20 monithý.
