h+ One writer has said "There is a woman at the beginning of all great things". Does that thought not give us a great sense of resâ€" ponsibility. Women have measured up to wartime responsibilities in a grand way. They have made the tools of war and supported our fighting men in a way that has never been equalled in the history of the world but THEY MUST NOT QUIT NOW. They must help fashion the peace. Their postâ€"war We have just celebrated V.â€"E. Day. It was a Great Dayâ€"the foreâ€" runner of A LASTING PEACEâ€" we all hope and the beginning of great things, we all hope but, if it is to be that, we must do more than hope. We have won the war, now we must WIN THE PEACE which might easily become a bigger task than winning the war. There is a ghallenge here for every woâ€" man. 7 it". Is having money _ TRUE WORTH or is it the sterling qualiâ€" ties we, as individuals possess,â€" courage, fortitude, diligence, cheerâ€" fulness, willingness and the good oldâ€"fashioned virtues,â€"simplicity, patience, courtesy, modesty and sympathy which, in the rush and stress of these modern days, are too often forgotten. "Bome folks", says Seth Parker "get the idea they are worth a lot of money just because they have What Are We Worth? By The Woman Editor P4 Vote for Your PROGRESSIVE CONSERV ATIVE CANDIDATE Is Having Money True Worth Or Is It The Sterling Qualities We, As Individuals Possess?â€"Some People Think They Are Worth A Lot Of Money THURSDAY, MAY 24, }Ml JOBS ASSURED BEFORE DEMOBILIZATION It is significant that more than half of the Progressive Conservative candidates are service and exâ€"service men. No other party can even apâ€" proach this record. These men know that no other party has such realistic and comprehensive plans for rehabiliâ€" tation. They know that the Progresâ€" sive Conservatite Party is the service men‘s party. & "Platitudes will not fill empty stomachs," declares John Bracken, "nor generalities provide jobs for those who have fought, nor wordy declamations about sacrifice ease the load of the widows and children whose husbands and fathers gave life itself that we might live in peace and security." Let our veterans now ask themâ€" selves this question. Does the spirit of political partisanship which the King Government has consistently manifested in time of war, offer any assurance of a square deal for vetâ€" erans in time of peace? Does the iniquitous manpower policy which split Canada apart reflect the right spirit? â€" Remember in war, as in peace, political policies infallibly inâ€" dicate party principles. They know that John Bracken, father of three sons on active service, understands the problems, the hopes Here, in this simple statement of progressive, realistic polity is the only true solution of the fundamental problem by which every exâ€"service man and woman is faced. It is the only assurance of a square deal for all veterans. It is the very basis of the Rehabilitation Policies of the Progressive Conservative Party. No veteran will be discharged against his will until he is assured of a decent livelihood. Throughout‘ the war, Canadian service men and women have had their fill of platitudes and generalities. The very first clause of the Progressive Conservative plans for the reâ€"establishment of Veterans, adopted at the National Convention of December, 1942, is as follows:â€" In carrying out the demobilization of Canada‘s Armed Forces the primary consideration should be the interest of those who have served. Demobilization should be based on the principle that members of the Armed Forces should not be discharged until their economic security is assured by placement in gainful employment or by assisted training and education to that end. A Square Deal for Veterans Assured by Progressive Conservatives But it will not be that unless we, as individuals, learn to apply the Golden RULE to our daily livesâ€" to do unto others as we would have them do to us,â€"to seek a better understanding with our fellowmen, to share their problems and be willâ€" ing to give a helping hand. Our selfishness, materialism, race preâ€" judice and concern for Things raâ€" ther than PERSONS and our egoâ€" tism .have all played their part in bringing about the terrible catasâ€" trophy in which we have been plunged. work may well call for even greater effort but it should be a joy and a ‘privilege to work and to %n})" and to use every talent with which God We read that the San Francisco Conference was not opened with prayer but with a minute of reâ€" verend silence because of the diâ€" versity of peoples and of faiths reâ€" presented there, but it will raise the hopes of all who long for peace on earth to know that millions of all creeds are joining, all over the world, to pray for the Golden Gate San Francisco conference. May it become the Golden Gate to a better way of life. has endowed us to bring about a lasting peace and a better postâ€"war world. Have we learned our lesson? Are DEMOBILIZATION Published by the Progressive Conservative Party, Ottawa. In the words of our leader, we of the Progressive Conservative Party, "accept the challenge to demonstrate to you who fought that you shall not be handicapped in days of peace beâ€" cause you responded to the nation‘s call in days of war." The "first in, first out" principle will be followed on demobilization â€" with a job at decent pay assured to the veteran when he returns to "civvy" street. and the fears of veterans. They say, with John Bracken "The cost of winning the war and the cost of reâ€"establishing those who fought in it, is one and indivisible. In the plainest words at my command, I say to you that nothing short of fullâ€" time gainful employment for every man and woman who has worn the Canadian uniform will be acceptable. Every man and woman must be given an opportunity to earn a good living. If existing enterprise cannot do this, the State must, and will." Under a Progressive Conservative government, recorded condition of personnel on enlistment will be acâ€" cepted as sufficient proof in determinâ€" ing disability pension. The veteran :illbbe entitled to the benefit of the oubt. They, with John Bracken, pledge themselves to revise an outâ€"moded pensions act, to humanize its adminâ€" istration, to eliminate red tape and inexcusable delays. _ Pension rates will be reviewed at once and increased to bring them in line with higher living costs. These service and exâ€"service canâ€" didates, with John Bracken, pledge themselves that, under no cireumâ€" stances, will existing benefits to veterans be lessened. On the conâ€" trary, they will be increased and exâ€" tended. Time lost through strikes and lockouts in Canada was 38.7% less in the first two months of this year than for the same period in 1944. Under amendments to the Naâ€" tional Selective Service Act, Canâ€" ada‘s minister of labour is emâ€" powered to pay transportation or other costs for transferring workâ€" ers who cannot afford to move‘to a locality where there is a new job. Official figures reveal Canada‘s birth rate in 1943 the highest in 15 years. The rate of live births per 1,000 population was 24.0 compared with 24.1 in 1928. Is it not Ruskin who says, "The happiness of your life and its part and rank on earth and in Heaven depend on the way you pass your G@ays now". Every day of {our life is ordaining irrevocably for good or evil the custom and grlctiae of your soul; ordaining either sacred customs of dear and lovely recurâ€" rence or trenching deeper and deeper the furrows for seed of sorrow", Should this not be an incentive for us women to resolve that we will strive harder to cultivate the qualities that make for True Worth that our influence may be felt in helping to make a better Post War World. we more thoughtful and courteous ? For instance, do we push and shove when boarding a stréet car, deterâ€" mmqghwn we shall rti d:rl seat, if possible, rlflrdhn of el y peoâ€" ple or disabled veterans who may be standing? Do we think of the other person or of ourseives and our own feelings? It seems to me that we might well pause and conâ€" sider, not only for the effect on those people with whom we come in contact, but on ourselves.
