Money will not always flow "Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we roam: His first, best country ever is at home." ] WE WANT NO WAR AT HOME There is no room in Canada at this time for faction fights. Mr. Hepburn has a right to his own opinion as to the value of the Rowell-Sirois * Report. But fie has no right to use such language as has been reported: "We will leave you wreckers of Confederation to your nefarious work." ! To speak in that manner of the work of men in all parts of Canada who have made an honest at- tempt to solve some very serious Canadian . pro- blems is insulting to say the least. 7 It is this kind of attack that has robbed our country of the services of many men of fine character, because they will not put up with abuse and misunderstanding entirely underserved. It is embarrassing to be compelled to apologize for the lack of courtesy and undue haste of our 2 Provincial representative. We are of the opinion that more could have been obtained for Ontario by | "quiet conference than by a flat refusal to confer. This is no time for political "dog fights" or personal ambitions or grudges, We are at war | - with a relentless encmy abroad. Division of our forces may be fatal to our national welfare. The least Mr. Hepburn could have done was to + "have entered the Conference, and to have en- deavoured 'to reach a compromise on matters in the Report that were really detrimental to Ontario. If Mr. Hepburn were to endeavour to seek a solution to Canadian problems, he would undoubt- erly find many who did not agree with his idea. But he would not likely be subjected to abuse and deliberate misunderstanding. National unity and co-ordinated control are es-- sential to our national success. It is wrong to «ey compel the use of drastic measures to gain the necessary ends, which could be obtained by com- mon sense co-operation. I . SOMETHNG TO STOR THE BLOOD It is becoming daily more evident that the Can- adian people need something to stir the blood to put enthusiasm into their grim détermination. We want to see our men; to hear the tramp of 'their feet and the music of their bands. We need . to hear them sing--to catch the light of their eyes and sepse the fine courage thats sending them on their mission of defence at home or abroad. For months and months we have heard im- patient demands for more action, Let us get a better idea of what has been done. If we could see a fleet of tanks rolling through our streets, and cheer a thousand men -- our brothers, lovers, and -fathers--as they make a County parade, we should have a different out- look. Nothing is more stirring. than the defiant blare of the trumpet or the martial music of the band. Think of the glorious battle songs of former | days--Rule Britannia, Hearts of Oak, Harlech, the Veterans Song, Soldiers of the King - Men of --those songs tided men over many a dark day. It is still a "Long Way to Tipperary." The British victory will require efficiency; but it will need even more fine spirit, indomitable courage, undaunted hope. Morale is everything. We must not spend all Jour spare time in a huddle by the radio to count the bombs that are raining on London. This i the time to see and count our strength. a It is not a blackout that we need; but a feeling . that we cannot lose with al} the hundreds of thousands of men at our defence. ' We cannot lose with the growing power of our trained pilots, That little display of a dozen or niore airships over Port Perry brought vividly to our people the fact that mot only have we brave pilots ready to . defend us; but we have honest workmen giving their best work daily to supply adequate equip- ment to support those soldiers and air pilots. Just as soon as it is practical it will be wise to stage a parade of our local men in the atmos- phere of the work and training they are doing. Out in the open is where we should sce that "Canada Carries On" not only on the air or In the theatre. It is time to strike up the band. ~ War duty. buying «share--but not before.

Money is circulating freely. Many of our own people and those in adjoining municipalities are earning much more money than they so freely. The war cannot go on for- ever, and when the inevitable slump does come, those who have saved will be in a much more fortunate position than those who have spent all their money. The whole matter of rehabiliation is a problem that will be a tremendous one to solve. Nothing will simplify the matter of caring for demobilized soldiers and unemployed returning home from idle munition factories, than the stabilizing effect of good financial position of the individual citizen. . BUY WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES ------ ~~ Port Perry War Savings Committee. . At the instance of Mr. R. H. New, district chairman, a local War Savings Committee has been assembled with the object of organizing this community's share in the National drive set for February, to obtain two million investors in War Saving Certificates in 1941. The National annual objective in money is 120 million dollars, which is roughly one dollar per capita per month, Extensive advertising in daily gad weekly newspapers, radio, bill boards and window and counter displays shall tell the public what the campaign aims to accomplish and how all individuals can not only assist the war 'effort, but also definitely help themselves by taking up such individual share of the War Saving Certificates as may be in their power. War Saving Stamps as well as application forms for War Saving Cer- tificates have been on hand at«the Post Office and at all chartered bank Inanch offices, and shall continue to be available there. The general public ghall, however, be directly approached for pledges by canvassers to be selected by the local committee, whose duty shall also be to arrange for local publicity with a view to interest every one, old and young, in the national effort. 2 > __All Canadians are anxious to do what they can to help win the war, and systematic monthly. or weekly investment in War Saving Certificates is pro- viding the opportunity for one and all to get behind the national drive for victory. : The co-operation of all clubs and societies or other organizations is earn- estly desired by the committee. } Personnel of Committee is R. J. Harper, chairman; S. Farmer, C. TC. Jeffrey, H. G. Hutcheson, W. M. Letcher, E.R. McLellan and associate com- mittee for Reach and Scugog is in process of formation, The whole effort is upon a voluntary basis. No commissiohs going to any selling agency or individual, and it is desired that, as far as possible, subscriptions be for "the duration." : Certificates are not transferrable, but may be redeemed by holders after six months from issue, under a fixed interest schedule shown on each cer- tificate. Three months notice of redemption may be required. Those re- | tained for:full term of 7% years provide a yield of 209%, i.e. a $4.00 unit has full maturity value of $5.00. ' Rationing in Canada! No! gentle reader there is none by government authority so far announced. A voluntary rationing, however, may he effected by individuals and the consequent savings loaned for Canadian War costs by investment regularly in War Savings Certificates, ee TI Sixteen quarters put into War Savings Stamps buys a War Saving Cer- tificate of £5.00 face value. No one ever regrets Savings. Many do regret lack of them. . WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES SCHOOL. CONTEST Port Perry High School Pupil a Winner; . That much more interest than is generally supposed is and has been shown in War Savings Certificates investment is indicated by result of a contest for school pupils, recently announced. : Miss Jean Ward, a scholar attending the Port Perry High School, was last. Thursday presented sccond prize in competition with other pupils in South Ontario, for sales during September and Octoger. Presentation of the prize to Miss Ward, consisting of War Savings Cer- tificate of face value of $1500, from Ottawa National Committee, was made by the chairman of the recently formed local committee Mr. R. J. Harper. To his congratulations we add our own on behalf of the community. It is of interest to note that Oshawa secured first and third places in the contest. y 3 The following letter was issued by the chairman, Mr. New: ; "From the report received at this office from the schools of the County of Ontario, the following girls have sold the highest amounts of War Saving Certificates and Stamps during the months of September and October: 1st prize--Anzelda Shoychet, 99 Mill Street, Oshawa ,Ont. 2nd prize--Jean Ward, Port Perry High School. 3rd prize--Leone Palmer, 242 Bruce Street, Oshawa, Ont.

First Game Joe Childerhoge"s Westmount team took the lead in the first period when Dean McLaughlin slipped one past goalie Harold Crawford. Crawford was sensational, at times stopping shots that looked to have him com- pletely beaten, Despite the speed of the game and the heavy checking which was fea- tured, play was comparatively clean and penalties few, with a Westmount player claiming the first one of the game--in the first period, There was not a dull moment during the game with end to end rushes plentiful, smart back-checking keep- ing the fans on their toes. Both teams displayed plenty of passing tricks and cleevr stickhandling. . The rink went wild when the first Port Perry goal was scored in. the se- cond period. Our boys then ran in a couple of fast ones, and from then on more thrills. _-- Crawford, in the Port Perry goal was one of the busiest boys on the ice and turned in a smart chore in stop- ping the shower of rubber directed at him. Clark, with two goals and great stickhandling to his eredit, played a major role in the Port Perry triumph. Wicket was credited with an assist as well as a goal, while Beare also scored a marker, . Our boys were given stil competi- tion, despite the fact that the jee was strange to the Westmount team. Me- Laughlin, Westmount goalie made some miraculous saves during the game, ji The Line-up Port Perry---goal, Harold Crawford; first line--centre, hood, wings Me- Master and Clark; second line--centre, DeShane, wings, Lee and B, Beare; defence, Spencely, Wicket, Cliff.

McConkey, Turner, and Benhan, - Second Game Netminder injured in third period. The newcomers--Harmony, took a 9-2 waloping from the Oshawa Lions in the second game of the evening. Scoring averages were boosted by the Lions as they outclassed the Harmony team despite the fine work by Plaunt, Cook, Grills and the rest of the team. Yourth, a forward on the Lions team checked up three goals and an assist. Jackson, centre, scored two goals and an assist, Tresise shot in two goals, while Hambly and Marsh accounted for the other two 'goals. Sutton, who, despite his admirable efforts to keep the puck out of Har- mony's net, just couldn't keep 'en out. Late in the third period a "fast one" struck him in_the eye and he had to leave the ice for medical attention. The Harmony goals were scored by Plaunt a forward and Porteous, de- fenceman. The Line-Up Oshawa Lions--goal, Barriage, de- fence, Sleep and Rocker; centre, Jacks son; forwards, March and Taylor; alts., Tresise, Elliott, Hambly, Dillon, Harmony -- goal, Sutton, defence, Sanders and Porteous; centre, Cook; forwards, Plaunt, Jackson and Grills; alts., Hicks, Balsamfi, Preston, Foun- tain, Conlin, Miller.

"4 WAR WORK ACTIVITIES Be ready for the .Boy Scouts, who will call on Saturday, January 25, for your LO.D.E. coin bag. No collection was made in December and as February is a short month, the boys are calling a week earlier, The War Work Committee have cut two bolts of material into warm bloomers for the kiddies. As these are needed at this time of the year the committee would appreciate extra help to get them made up and away this month. tp BOY SCOUT NEWS At the last meeting, four more Scouts were invested, and this investiture will Like place at every meeting until all members have been invested, Last Sunday evening, at the Church of the Ascension, a memorial service was held in honour of Lord Baden- Powell, founder of the Boy Scout As- sociation, and Chief Scout" of the World.

Private spending will be dis- couraged in favour of saving for loans and taxes. 2. Production will be directed to- wards war materials or goods for ex- port, to trade for armaments, and plant extension in these industries will be emphasized, but discouraged in non- essential industries. 3. The tendency to cut. down lux- ury imports will continue. . 1. American dollars will be fenced about with even more stringent re- strictions. 5. Consumption, now curbed --by- taxation, may be further restricted by rationed, embargoes or tighter con- trol of additional essentials. 6. Taxes, especially the National Defence Tax, are expected to be raised. eo 7. "Industrial volumes should reach a peak in 1941, with consequent broader employment and higher sales. 8. Living costs are expected to rise coomparatively sharply, beginning the [¥hfttionary cycle. 9. The Wartime Prices and Trade Board will probably extend its control more widely. ~ 10. Where the money is to come from is now less of a government con- cern than the supply of men, ma- chines and materials. 11. Markets will probably continue to reflect lack of long term business confidence. 12. More urgings+ for planning will likely be heard. post-war VALENTINE SUPPER AND CONCERT AT MANCHESTER The Manchester 'W.
