Phone 32 WHEN THE BOYS COME BACK TO THE FARMS They'll probably want telephone service, if they didn't have it before. War has taught a lot of those in uniform ~ and their parents, too -- to rely on telephones more than ever. i Our plans are ready to make rural tele- phone service in Ontario and Quebee available to a greater number of users in the post-war period. Much of the preliminary work already are available. had been done when war interrupted the program extending rural telephone service.- We iiitend to resume it as soon as the necessary materials and manpower SM T. R. TRAYNOR, Branch Manager How the English Celebrated Victory (Continued from Front Page) osity? Britain threw almost all her financial resources into the war before Canada's Mutual Aid and United States Lend-Lease began to operate and so is entitled to generous treatment. Of course, we have our own burden of debt and taxation to bear, but is it comparable with the crushing burden borne by the British? Think of the colossal war expenditures -- why, "Fido" alone cost a cool $12,000,000, using 80,000,000 gallons of gasoline. It seems that we are soon to have a distinctive Canadian flag. That has long been the desire of Mr. King and a considerable number of his followers . The announcement has rather taken one by and now he proposes to fulfil it. surprise. as no mention of it, so far as I'reenll, appeared in his pre-election "But please, Mr. King, don't make the new flag too "distinctive", Would it not be suffieient if it served to distinguish Canada from other parts of the British Commonwealth, while preserving the main design of "the flag that has braved a thousand years, the battle and the breeze?" "Probably", said the Editor of the Port Perry Star in the issue of Sept. 13, "we need this symbol of our national adulthood; but it will be particularly unfortunate if it does anything to weaken our ties with the Mother Country", Why not as has been sug- gested, take as our national flag the Red Ensign, which was the battle-flag speeches, -- ~---- Tr 4 WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TAKE A SMALLER SLICE by Cov.

It'is of good and expressive design, It is safe to predict that there will be a lively debate on the flag question in parlinment at Ottawa, and that an old Port Perry boy, Dr. Herbert Bruce, will take a lively part in that debate. But whatever we say or do, let us not advertise to the world our separation from, but rather our continued unity with, a Britain that we don't want to see sink to the rank of a second-rate power and an Empire that we don't want to sce disintegrate. Surely at this time of sore stress and perilous crisis, we should be warmly responsive to the feeling expressed by one of our truest Canadian: poets, Bliss Carman, in his moving Apostrophe: "0 England, little Mother by the sleep- less northern tide, Having bred so many nations to de- votion, trust, and pride, Very tenderly we turn With loyal hearts that yearn Still, to serve thee and defend thee-- may the sons of men discern Wherein thy right and title, might an majesty, reside." : I may not have given the poet's lines quite correctly, as I am quoting from memory -- and a treacherous memory al that. I am not sure of the word "serve" (it might be "love"); hut at any rate, "service" isnot "'servi- tude"; 'indeed in its truest form--do we need the reminder ?--"service is perfect freedom", --M. E. S. BLACKSTOCK On Friday evening the home of Mrs. James Henry was the scene of a de- lightful party in honour of Miss Gert- rude Henry, prior to her departure to take a position in Sherbourne House, Toronto, The party was arranged by several of her-many friends, including her Sunday School class which con- tributed generously to the program and also gave able assistance in serv- ing the lunch.
