It is on record that wround 350 of our young men and women are doing their full duty in some barracks of the armed forces in various battle fronts.

In the Fifth Victory Loan campaign the ‘objecâ€" tive was substantially oversubâ€" scribed, and as there is at this time much more money in our saving accounts, however, there should be no question about the over subscription of this Sixth Loan. _ Stories are already coming in that illustrate splendidly how the troops are responding. â€" Soldiers of the Canadian Corps in Italy have oversubscribed their objecâ€" tive to more than 60 per cent by raising $4,093,550 and still more to come. In Canada, some of our industries have already exceeded their quotas. Since it is a known fact, an over subscription of at least 20% is requiredâ€" to meet direct war exâ€" pensesâ€"and in view of the outâ€" standing evidence shown by our boys at the front or elsewhere in over subscribing to this the Sixth Victory Loan at this early date, places a grave patriotic duty on those of us at home to invest in bonds, not to the point of convenâ€" ience but to the point of sacrifice.

Cody announces that the University of Toronto proposes to establish, within the next month or two, special classes for men and womenâ€"who have been, discharged from theservices and who wish to prepare themselves for admission to the Universigy. Already several discharged men have applied for instruction which will enable them to qualify for adâ€" mission next September and it is likely that there are many men who are entitled to take courses under the generous plan made by the Government of Canada for payment of tuition fees and mainâ€" tenance allowances. These special classes will be unâ€" der the general supervision of Dr. W. J. Dunlop, Director of Univerâ€" sity Extension, who is undertaking to organize the first class just as soon as twentyâ€"five or more men have made application. Men who wish to qualify for admission to any course in the Faculty of Arts should consult A. B.

Weston citizens and friends of the R.oynl Canadian Sea Cadet Corps "Illustrious" were presentâ€" ed with a very rne display of naâ€" val training last Friday night at Memorial school. It was the second aunual inspection of this corps. Following a march past in column of platoon and companies they were treated to a display of morse lamp signalling and semaphore signalling, under Lieut. C. B. Sears. The band and the Subâ€" Lieut. Charles Martin presented a fine display of their musical trainâ€" ing.

Jobâ€" lin in uniform for the first time, present. s On behalf of the citizens of Weston and district whose children are receiving a very valuable training it is a_pleasure to conâ€" gratulate the offiZra of this corps. _ The inspection was in charge of Executive Offier Lieut. â€" Reg. Dr. Dunlop states that the auâ€" thorities of the University of Toâ€" ronto are anxious to get the maâ€" chinery of rehabilitation into opâ€" eration as soon as possible in orâ€" der that they may see how smoothâ€" ly it works and in order that there may be time to get this machinâ€" er{ in perfect running order be-! fore the men and women return in hundreds or thousands to the Uniâ€" versity after Victory has been won by the United Nations. "There must be a good many men," Dr. Dunlop says, "who have been disâ€" charged and who, before enlistâ€" ment, had spent four years or thereabouts in a secondary school. Many men now in the Services are planning to return to the Univerâ€" sity on demobilization and are now: taking correspondence courses in‘ the subjects of Honour Matriculaâ€" tion or Upper School or Grade XIII in order to work off part of the admission requirements. I exâ€" pect that most of the men who apâ€" ply for these special classes which are about to commence will have part of the necessary standing and will be willing to work hard to get the rest of it before next Sepâ€" tember. In any case, we propose to give them every opportunity now and to treat them with every possible consideration. It has been my experience that a man returnâ€" ed froxi active service npireciutes the attention of a man who takes a personal interest in his educaâ€" tional problem and who is able to direct him intelligently. Every student who comes to take advantâ€" age of these special classes will receive individual attention." Last Meeting of Assn. May 2nd The Seventh Annual meeting of Humber Heights Home and School Association will be held on Tuezâ€" day evening, May 2nd, at 8 o‘clock in the auditorium of the school. . The reports of all officers and conveners will be presented. Mrs. R. J. Ellis, viceâ€"president of York County Home and School Council will install the officers for the coming year.

The association will commence aciiviiies again in the f:ll, ‘wM the first meeting in Second Annual Inspection of Sea Cadet Corps a Success Read the answer to the question and buy your bonds locally This is your opportunity NOWâ€"TODAY! Who is Ralph E. Heinzen? International newspaper correspondent who has been in Paris for 25 years, a veteran of the first great war, a newspaperman conversant with the authorities, condition and a knowâ€" ledge of Europe and its people, especially France. He was arrested with his wife and boy and interned in Germany for 13 months. He has just returned from the German prison camp six weeks ago. Thus his story was worth hearing and was authoritive. He stated that Germany is eating white bread, being fed and her submarine crews are specially cared for and honoured. This was two of the weak points that caused the collapses in 1918. Hitler is guarding against them this time. He stated that Hitler is still a.Corporal toâ€"day and is,personally responsible for the defeat of Germany. Those who heard Ralph E. Heinzen address to the 900 salesmen of the Toronto Victory loan sales force on Friday night are fired with a new enthusiasm and determination to buy and sell the Sixth Viectory loan Bonds. The speaker answered the questions above and gave the reasons. It was a privilege to listen to his story for over one hour. He stated that Germany is surrounded with strong defences that will require land forces to win. For 30 miles the coast line is solidly fortified to a 30 mile depth. A second line of defence is built and awaiting the attack. A third line is ready and a fourth line surrounds Germany. This will be a big task for the allies. It will cost men and money, ~«â€" ME EKT there is a ©00,000 specially trained armed force under the command of Hitler and the Nazi party. They are the reserve force that is the pride of Germany‘s power. They are the select troops awaiting the invaders. He stated that there would be no crack up inside of Germany this time. The children of 6 and 7, 8 and 9, 10 and 11, 12 and 13 are taken each Sunday all day into the country and trained to fight. These children hate the British and U.9.A. They stoned the interned prisonets as they were out on exercise. Thus there must be no pacifist methods by the allies. Germany must be subjected totally. They are ready to fight to the last, looking forward to the day when they will win the next war. He stated that Germany is fncing.& shortage of man power that is serious and the second great power that is facing him is the oil shortage. These two will be important factors in the defeat of Germany. ‘Thus he called upon all to buy Victory Bonds to help carry. on the intensive campaign of the air, sea and land. To give the moral support to the force and thus break for ever Germany and its power. He said that the air forces can not win the war. He saw with joy the 127 raids light up the sky and bring havoc to Berlin and other centres. He saw factories and railways disrupted but saw them rebuilt and in operation in a very short period. One railway was cut in 11 different places and they had it in working order in 12 hours. He estiâ€" mated there were 48,000 killed in three day raids on Berlin. Tley were piled into wagons and buried without ceremony. Yet the air force can only soften up for the land forces. When you buy Victory Bonds you are doing this job for yourself, your family, your country. . Is it asking too much to lend the governâ€" ment your money and provide for a rainy day? Go to your loc@] salesâ€" man in your unit and buy your bonds. The need is urgent and you are asked to make the sacrifice. This appeal is not to the other fellow but to you. Pick up the telephone and ACT NOW. The above fund was registered under the War Charities Act (1939) Canadian Federal Government in 1941.
