Building A Better World

PEOPLE EVERYWHERE ARE LOOKING forward to the return of

peace. Those whose countries have suffered destruction

Civilians in this country | likewise look forward to the return of those in the services, and to the lifting of wartime restrictions. Although the coming of peace may not have the same significance for everycne, there is the common hope among |

all people that the world of the future ‘will be a better place in which to, further radio or press appeals for said;

live.. There is now a great deal of interest in the means by which improved

conditions may be brcught about, ‘and there are many approaches to this problem through the channels of politics, economics, science, social reform, education, public health and others.

One fundamental need which should receive the attention and support of both the government and the people in the pcst-war years, is that of educa- tion. We are often reminded of the magnificent manner in which the youth of the country has responded to the heavy demands made. upon it during this war.

mand of a precentor, who struck the key with a tuning fork, and the sing- ing was completely unaccompanied. The minister of the Newhills church,

|belonged to the old school of Pres-

byterian ministers to whom an organ, or ‘kist o’ whustles’ (‘chest of whistles”) was anathema in church music, believing that choir and con- gregational singing was heartier and more general when unaccompanied. In that he was undoubtedly right. In

_|almost every church today, no matter

what denomination it is, the choir does the singing, and 90 per cent. of the congregation stand up and make a pretense, or don’t even pretend to sing, trusting to the choir and the loud-voiced organ to make a suffici- ently joyful noise unto the Lord. But when there was no organ the congre- gation really sang. The precentor was not only leader of the choir, but was also a sort of congregational song-leader as well. As every organ- ist and choir singer knows, there is a large library of fine music written for church choirs unaccompanied. The music in the Auld Kirk was en- tirely confined to hymns and psalms. The idea of a Presbyterian choir singing an anthem, no matter who by, would have been as abhorent to the parishioners as the “kist 0’. whustles.”

placed with vitamin-fortified marg- arine. In addition, the fact that cod liver oil could no longer be imported from Norway, which Germany seized soon after Denmark, put a premium on Canadian vitamin oils.

This: led to redoubled research, and valuable livers were among fish that only a few years be-

Angus H .McLeod, Sr., threw down the book he was reading and glared ‘defiantly ‘at the opposite wall.

It was all dratted fodlishness. Six more days in this blamed hospital! Throwing good money after bad, that’s what it was. ‘And he felt fine again. He didn’t believe he’d had appendicitis, anyway. ®All doctors were fools, just hanging around waiting to open up a man and poke around his insides. Well, it was out now and they couldn’t do that to him again!

The nurse entered, carrying a florist’s box. “More flowers, Mr. McLeod.”

“Take ’em away,” he roared. “I can’t bear the things. Make me think cf a blasted funeral.”

Well, he’d have to stand it. He couldn’t browbeat' Dr. Meadows. Cheeky» young squirt! By all the

powers, he could use a lad with such initiative in the firm right now! The business was probably going to pot. All those defense orders and he lying helpless. They wouldn’t even let him use the phone; disconnected it when they found him sneaking in a call or two. Sure he’d been sick, but he was all right now, wasn’t he?

If only Angus, Jr., had stayed with him, had taken his proper place, he wouldn't have to worry. At the thought his thin lips tightened. Un- grateful whelp! But no, the ‘boy didn’t like business, wanted to be a newspaper man. There were too many of those running around al- ready, poking their noses into other people’s affairs, as he had told the young whippersnapper,.

But young Angus had matched stubborness with stubborness.

“You'll be around again,” father had jeered. “Starving to death isn't so pleasant, my lad.”

. They'd quarreled’ violently, irre- vocably, and Angus had left—bag and baggage. — *

That was over a year ago. Through various channels McLeod learned that | his son had landed a lob, was doing well. Tits “haa only added’ to his re- sentment, and when ‘he’d heard that

Angus, Jr., had married a girl re- porter on the same paper, his rage knew no bounds.

“A nobody!” he’d stormed, “and a sob sister at that!”

McLeod had no use for women in business or those who followed pro- fessions. They ought tb be at home making their husbands comfortable and taking care of babies. He ignored

the fact that’ some didn’t have hus- }:

bands and had to earn enough for the necessities of life.’ » He picked up the morning paper

| and ‘scanned the headlines. War, war,

war! Was there no limit to the punishment the human race would

endure? ‘To be sure, it had, helped business. He couldn’t crab about that.

He turned the page. Not much news. What was this? “By Angus H. McLeod, Jr.” So the boy was rating by-lines. Must be good, he admitted grudgingly. Unfamiliar

paternal pride surged within him. He'd like to call the Kid and con- gratulate him. No, he couldn't do that. It error. Anyway, to use the phone.

He shifted uneasily on the pillow. Maybe he could take a nap. At the} thought he snorted scornfully. Who- ever heard of Angus McLeod sleep- ing in the middle of the day? -

An envelope lay on the table when he awoke.. Just “Angus H. McLeod,” no address. Of course—the hospital bill, issued weekly. Tearing open the flap he read the contents. _Amaze- ment and incredulity gave way to}. irritation and anger. Of. all the out- rageous inefficiency! He crumpled it into a ball and hurled it at the door with a vitality that astonished him.

At the same moment the door |cpened .and the missile hit Dr. Meadows squarely between the eyes, its force unspent.

“Well, what’s this?” The doctor picked it up and grinned at his pa- tient, not at all disconcerted at his unusual welcome. ,

Angus glared.

“Oh, your bill. Sorry, they shouldn’t |

have bcthered you with that. Just routine, you know.” ~ “Read it!’’ Angus roared.

Deserved Victoria Cross

“Britain” gives the following ac- count of how ‘Sergeant J: A. Ward, of No, 75 Squadron Royal New Zea- land Air Force Munster, won the Victoria Cross. When over the Zui- der Zee returning from a night at- tack on Munster, the “Wellington” bomber in which Sergeant Ward was second pilot was hit by cannon shell and incendiary bullets from a “Mes- serschmitt 110.” Fire broke out near the starboard engine, fed by petrol from a split pipe. It threatened to spread to the entire wing. As, a last resort, Seregant Ward climbed out through the narrow astro-hatch. Despite the terrific slip-stream he climbed to the back of’ the engine, | breaking hand and footholds in the fabric. He then stuffed an engine | cover into ‘the hole the fire was com- ing from and “smothered it.

in Canada

The payment of these allowances to parents or other persons who are maintaining children will commence in July, 1945, and the registration of children for this purpose is to begin immediately,

To aid parents in the raising of their children, the Family Allowances Act was passed at the last session of Parlia- meat. Under the Family Allowances Act each eligible family in Canada will receive a monthly cheque beginning ‘July, 1945. These monthly payments are to help provide children with medical, dental and nursing services, more nourishing food, ade- quate clothing and shelter, and to give parents of Canada a chance to equalize the opportunities for their children.

WHEN PAID? Family Allowance cheques will be mailed out to parents each month beginning July, 1945. :

TO WHOM PAID? Allowances will be

paid to the parents, or to any person who maintains a child. -

INCOME TAX: No one will benefit from both Family Allowances and a full income tax deduction for their children. Parents have the choice of applying for their Family Allowances or not claiming the

YOUR HOME TOWN NEWSPAPER ne

You've often watched the teller stamp your cheque. Every day, in every branch of every bank in Canada, cheques are being scrutinized, stamped and recorded. During the war years, this daily flow of cheques through your bank has swollen to a torrent. Deposit, accounts are more numerous and active than ever before. This increase re- flects the tremendous activity of Canadian life and business. Production, purchases and payrolls have all reached record levels.

In addition, three-quarters of a million men and women in the armed services must get their pay, and their dependents receive allowances regularly.

The handling of this wartime volume of

cheques is quite apart from numerous

special services which the banks have

undertaken—the delivery of millions of

Victory Bonds and the sale of countless

War Savings Certificates; ration coupon . banking; subsidy payments to producers;

foreign exchange operations.

Yet all this extra work has been carried Out at a time when new help has had to be trained to take the place of more thaa 8,500 bank workers now in uniform. .

“I was,sent by the employment agency,” he said in careful English.

Mrs. Irvin nodded dismissal to her secretary. Called after her, “Bring me that report as.soon as it comes,” and turned her attention to the gardener.

In spite of a new, badly fitting suit there was something magnifitent about the man. Dimly Mrs. Irvin was reminded of strong, bold vikings riding their ships in Norse seas. His steady blue eyes had an ait of com- mand. He strode forward and handed her a card from the agency. His

name, appropriately, was Ericson. His hair was light. It could be gray. She studied the card. He was fifty-

“Your references?” suggested Mrs. Irvin. . .

He pulled a_ portfolio from under his arin. ‘These will show you what I have done.”

Mrs. Irvin gave a cry of delight. Colored’ photographs of the most gorgeous garden she had ever seen. Formal hedgerows cut in quaint pat- terns encircled a_ stone fountain. Beyond, evergreens—majestic in their grouping—-framed patches of red blosscming shrubs and masses of deep blue and purple flowers.

“Our Norwegian wild pansies and forget-me-nots,” he. explained.

“Lovely!” cried Mrs. Irvin. “T shall want you to do a wild flower garden for me. Did you do all this?”

“The garden is very old, but for the past thirty years I have had charge of ‘it.”

Mrs. Irvin was looking at a view of the house—an enormous ‘stone struc- ture like a medieval castle. She'd paid her old gardener $85. This man

“I’m - expecting a report from Harris this morning, Ethel,” Mrs. Irvin told her secretary.

“Everybody says he’s a wizard at whittling down evaluations,” approved the secretary. ‘He'll fix you a bar- gain in taxes, but he'll charge you a fat fee.”

“Unless you divided it into lots,” murmured the secretary. “Then you'd get a good deal more.”

“Of course,” agreed the secretary

Air Cadets

Want To Make Canada Air-Conscious By Offering Greater Opportunities

Foreshadowing the great post-war expansion of air travel, Royal Can- adian Flying Clubs, which met at Port Arthur, aim at making Canada “air conscicus” by offering youth

Looking to the future when the mode of travel may be mostly by air, the clubs from’ coast to coast will assist young air cadets. They will study ways of bringing pilot lessons within teach of every «man and woman wishing to fly. Aircraft operated economically for instruction purposes also will be sought.

They seek a greater part in the air training that may give the Dominion eadership in post-war global air travel.

They seek a greater part in the air training that may give the Dominion leadership in post-war global air travel.

These flying clubs received praise from Canada’s Deputy Air Minister,

‘“The estate is on the edge of Nar- vik, about the city,’’ he-told her. “I left there a year ago.”

“Narvik! Then you saw the Ger- man invasion?” She looked at him curiously. ‘‘Were you in the battle?”

“There was no battle. For six months before the Germans came we all knew what was going to happen, but everybody was afraid. Citizens you would swéar were loyal were secret Nazi agents. I spoke out.” Abruptly he was silent. ;

Mrs. Irvin was interested. “Tell me about it,” she demanded. ‘Where were ycu when the city was taken? What did they do? How—”

He put a big forefinger on the pic- ture in her hand. “There,” he said, “IT stood and watched the German ships sail into the harbor. There were flares of light. and great columns of men in perfect order marched off the ships and took the city. That was all. They were expected. There was no resistance. Their advance guard ha attended to every detail.” Only the |trembling of his hands betrayed his | agitation.

“Empl ‘ed there so long it must have been hard to leave,” murmured |Mrs. Irvin. ‘Were you the head | gardener ?”

Hudson Bay Route | The War Has Attracted Attention To The Northern Port

A revival of interest in the develop- ment of the Hudson Bay sea route ell Europe comes with the prospect cf the end of the war with Germany. The war has established Hudson Bay as a stage on the air route to Europe, but there are possibilities also in the northern seaway.

Cargoes of Canadian wheat may find their way for the rehabilitation of war torn countries by this short | sea voyage, and wheat will perhaps | continue to go to Great Britain in the years to come, if nothing is done deliberately to stop this not un- natural route from being developed. | But it is clear that there are other possibilities before the Hudson Bay port. And Newfoundland for one is interested in them.

Newfoundland is, of course, a great exporter of fish, but it must import | many other essential foods. Wheat and flour—the prairie primary pro- ducts—are a natural quid pro quo for fresh, cured or salted fish. In addi- tion, Newfoundland might be glad to take such dairy products as milk and eggs which are looming larger in the prairie farming scheme. \

While perhaps many ‘Newfound- landers have not been ,brought to Canada by the war, many prairie lads have found themselves in Newfound- land. . They will have been alive to such possible developments as might have been discussed in such places as St. John’s and Corner Brook where ships could set out for Port Churchill.

At least there should be no such

greater opportunity to earn “wings”. | hampering of the Hudson Bay sea

He said Canada’s program set a new standard in care of wounded veterans and in pensions. Pas aimed also to make good, so far as possible, the handicap of the loss of time in those precious years when a man would be normally training for his life’s work. ;

The ultimate objective of the

jmesgire enacted was to ensure thaf |every veteran would have the oppor- tunity to enjoy a normal life, re- munerative employment, comforts. of home and freedom from want.

OVEN MEALS Fuel is ‘power and must be con- served. If your menu includes one

baked food, plan an oven meal and let your entree, vegetable and dessert share the heat. When the oven is hot it is downright extravagant to be “cooking on the front burner” too.

It ‘is easy to plan oven meals and there is a limitless variety of foods from which to choose. For the main dish choose a meat loaf, casserole of meat or vegetable, baked chops, fish or poultry. Next, decide on a vege- table or two and don’t forget that these can be steamed as well as baked in an oven. Here’s how. Pre- pare the vegetable as usual. Place in pan or casserole, add hot salted water and cover tightly. Green beans, peas, carrots, beets, or corn can be so cooked. Remember, too, that any canned vegetable may be re-heated in the oven.

Puddings -are a perfect choice for oven meal desserts and for variety you can change to baked apples or. fruit pies.

Resolve now to save fuel by plan- ing. an entire oven meal whenever possible, ets, '
