SAMUEL FARMER, Editor and Publishes. ak 3X Rr y PORT PERRY STAR PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, 3, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12th 1942 EDITORIAL ¥Such is the patriot's boast, where'er we ream: His firat, best country ever ix at home." REASON. TO BE PROUD Port Perry, Reach 'and Scugog district has rea- son to be proud of the part it took in the Third Victory Loan. All things considered the result of the canvass was wonderful. $120,000 was the objective, and nearly $130,000 were invested, When it is remembered that nearly all our young people of earning capacity are either in military service or war work, and it is also noted that we include a large rural area where money has net been so plentiful, the total investment here in Victory Bonds is most creditable, Port Perry district has been noted for its practical loyalty. * & 5 3» ~ FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF THE COMMON MAN Dr. Soong, Chinese Minister for Foreign Af- fairs, urges that we cultivate "a revolutionary enthusiasm for the common man." It certainly will be revolutiogmry if we become enthusiastic for the rights of the common man, Mostly "common" men have been the material used by "superior" men for fortune building, The mark of greatness was often measured by the ex- tent to which the common man could be used to forward the interests of some progressive and shrewd individuals, Of course, in spite of many apparent successes, the policy is very short-sighted. Actually it is rapidly becoming obsolete. Wealth can no longer be the property of a few. This is true because only by development of _ natural resources for general use can wealth in- crease. Every attempt to "corner the market" and hoard wealth, only results in the hastening of depression, because idle capital means idle workmen; and idle workmen mean lean markets; and lean markets mean reduced incomes--even for the wealthy, The only new frontier to be cola ed is the frontier of general distribution. We have gone West as far as possible. Now we must direct our energies and vision to improving the lot of the . common man both physically and mentally, Hatred blinds the individual to facts. He ceases to be cool-headed. Indeed, the- skilled boxer deliberately provoke his op- ponent to anger, knowing that anger will slow down the mental processes, and leave his oppon- ent open to unlooked-for attack. Conquered peoples may have excuse for hatred. Their sufferings have been terrible because their treatment by their conquerors has been brutal--a short-sighted policy. But our people need alert minds and impartial judgment. ford to hate, because hatred cannot be turned off like a tap. As one step follows another on the road to victory the need for clear-headedness grows greater, for we shall indeed need wisdom when the day of settlement comes. The problems that will then have to be faced will be many and great. If we attempt to settlo in that struggle. _ them in the spirit of hateful vengeance, our de- cisions will likely prove to be boomerangs, Only by the clearest vision and the greatest impartial- ity shall we be able to avoid digging pits for others and falling into them ourselves. Hatred cannot be turned off like a tap. * * * * STRIKING WHILE THE IRON IS HOT Even the most critical and pessimistic person ought to be convinced now that the Allied war control does know how to conduct the war in a manner that will ensure final victory. It is also evident that those in command will not be hurried into fe-cinelkor military manoeuvers, Our business to every last citizen is that we shall make it possible for Montgomery, McNaugh- ton, and all that are associate to "Suike while the iron is hot." This the people of Canada have done when the Third Victory Loan was over subscribed; and our, citizens have invested not merely the objective of $760,000,000; but actually $950,000,000. ~ Port Perry District sustained its reputation by over subscribing its objective of $120,000 by We cannot af. = "raphy, Food, clothing, comfortable and sanitary hous- ing-are prime necessities for a truly prosperous _Every ill-fed, ill-clothed, unclean, and ignorant citizen is a menace to the general wel-_ No amount -of rich trappings can ultimate- "ly save the wealthy from suffering caused by the privation of the under-privileged.

Mr. Rowe has a well stored mind, and a clear picture of pres- ent day difficulties. . There was a lively discussion at the conclusion of Mr. Rowe's address, His -contribution re Post War Planning, which fol- lows, is worth studying. POST-WAR PLANNING Some day the bombers will be grounded, the bugles will sound and the war will end. If the end comes within the next three or four years, the physical picture of our economy will be sométhing like this: A vast number of trained workers in the war industries to he demobilized and shifted to peacetime occupations. They may be expected to insist vigor- ously on re-employment. An industrial plant greatly expand- ed, especially for the production of machinery and such materials as light metals, rubber, other synthetics, and plastics, machine tools, the machines which make. machines, in great pro- fusion--a very great increase in electrical energy. ; An Agricultural plant specialized in crops of high nutritiona] value, and capable of supplying far more than our own' population requires, A vast budget of postponed wants to be filled -- houses, furniture, shoes, clothing, automobiles, radios, washing | machines, durablg -sonster goods of all kinds. Incidentally, we will have stored up purchasing power: with which to buy them," : An insistent call from abroad for Canadian goods, food supplies, ~and industrial equipment. An imperative demand for public works neglected during the war, high- ways, bridges, reforestation, conser- vation, hospitals, schools, water sys- tems, sewer systems, irrigation, trans- port facilities, and the like. A promise of freedom from want to be redeemed. We Canadians will find ourselves with plenty of work to do. We shall have the trained man-power, the plants, the energy, the raw ma- terials, the machine tools to do it with, Failing a very long war, which erodes away.most of the plant, we should be physically equipped to carry our civil- ization forward, as well as to supply many victims of the war beyond our borders. But shall we: be mentally prepared? Will the war educate us to put first things first? Or shall we close our eyes to the physical realities as we did in the years after the panic of 1929. When the crash came in 1929 not only did the stocks come tumbling down, but the Canadian and American people proceeded to go mad. 1 mean mad in the sense of making an irrational attack oy their own sur- vival. My language may seem strong, but to an impartial observer from an- other planet the word madness would have seemed appropriate. Suppose the impartial observer had looked down upon us in the summer of 1929, Imaging him to be able to see every detail of the physical scene -- land, forests, farms, cities, factories, rail- roads, stores, but unable to see bank credit, mortgages, contracts, or the financial concepts people carry around in their heads. In 1929 he beholds a reasonably active continent. He would not be able to understand our excitement except as a sort of madness. We must be careful to avoid a repetition of this state of things.

THANK YOU THIRD VICTORY LOAN/ The Third Victory Loan, after a hectic three weeks' campaign, culmin- ating in a blaze of glory, is now fag! ing into history. As Chairman of the Committee for Port Perry, Reach and Scugog, known officially as Unit 33, I take this op- portunity of thanking those who con- tributgd to the success of our unit. We were saddled with 'an objective of $120,000. Our salesmen brought in £00,300. The bank sold $30,700. This put us $1,000 over our objective and in addition theve is a further amount, at present undetermined, which we be- lieve will bring us to $130,000. This is made up from purchases made by persons in our zone from banks out- side our territory, for instance, if a party in Port Perry had a bank ac- count in Toronto and should huy a bond from that bank, our unit would whitey be eredited with this sale, For -this- happy; result we are in- debted to and wish to thank, the pub- lic who responded to the appeal, to ah band of energetic salesmen who made a house to house canvass, to the local branch of the Bank of Commerce who circularized and advised their deposit- ors to draw their deposits and buy bonds, and to the generous advertising contributed by the Port Perry Star. We are also much indebted to the Board of the United Church wand its pastor, the Rev. W. C. Smith, who volunteered to forego their evening service and permit a meeting to be held in their Church, which resulted in the splendid Victory Loan Union Ser- vice at which: we enjoyed the Oshawa Citizens' Band and addresses of our Federal member and friend, Mr. W. H. Moore and Mr. A. E. O'Neill, principal of Oshawa Collegiate.

W. C. Smith conducted the ser- vice, anyl the address was given by Rev. AValter R. Tristram. Mr, Trist- ram '(who is now stationed at Bow- manville, on Headquarters Staff), gave a most inspiring address.

The speaker said that the two minute's silence has a fine sin. tual influence, - Music was given by a community choir. Mrs. I. R. Bentley read the Roll of Honour. Mr. Percy Densham sounded the "Last. Post" and' "Re- veille", In the course of the parade to the Church by the organizations, a pause was made at the Public Library, where the "Book of Remembrance" is kept.
