Navy Week is du)ifnnd to bring the work of the Navy Week in Canada into public prominence. Unfortunlbel{ most of Toronto‘s citizenry was eepiné as far as §ouible from the outdoors during unday‘s parade, and if it wasn‘t held in private it still was someâ€" thing short of a drawing card. This was no fault of the navy fledgings who strode through the sleet just as if those were sunâ€" beams instead of snowflakes trickâ€" ling down their spines. Their three bugle bands played bravely and surprisingly artistically, too. The salute was taken by Lt.â€" Cmdr. Hugh Plaxton, in the abâ€" sence of Cmdr. J. J. Connolly, comâ€" manding officer of H.M.C.S. York, who currently is receiving treatâ€" ment for a minor ailment at Chrisâ€" tie St. Hospital.

Behind this simple statement lies an urgent appeal that cannot be dean‘ by the people of this community. Yes, of course, there is our Christmas shopping to be done . . . but in the meantime the war goes on. Men are killed and wounded in the raging hell of battle. Still more men leave our shores to add their youth and strength to our lines. New Allied attacks rip into the enemy; fresh German divisions are rushed into action; Canadians fight gallantly under heavyy‘ bombardment, bombs still shriek and whine on the coast of England; the Allies lose Leros. The war goes on. .__ We can‘t ignore it. We can‘t forget it. The casualty lists remind us. There is no rest or peace or pride anyâ€" :vheye for us unless we too are willing to sacrifice and o give. And yet, figures at the local clinic show a severe drop in the number of blood donors. Nearly 60% of persons receiving notice to report at the clinic failed to turn up, leaving 40% to answer the call. « A great many persons have attended the clinic once only and through carelessness, lack of thought or simply disinclination, have not come back again. Their donation was appreâ€" ciated but surely a soldier does not fire one shot only or a pilot shoot down one enemy plane? A steady stream of donors is needed if the local clinic is to provide its share of blood plasma. This is our job, the proud privilege of we who are civilians. What about us? Are we going to fall down on our job in Weston? During the recent Victory Loan Camâ€" paign, the people in this community achieved a proud record to overâ€"subscribe a large objective. gladly, proudly, freely. Rd. St. N.
