Stephenson We are thinking and saying "Why cannot we do more for Canada's war effort? Why is not this surge ai energy, that rises fmam some mysteriaus source within us when we are iaced with an emergency, be harnessed ta the national cause? Why does nat the government organize us, men. women, youth, of Canada and train us, every hast one ai us, ta the service ai aur country? Do we mealize that super argan- ization, automatisni, or, to give themn their unpopular interpreta- tian, dictatorship, are exactly what we are iighting, and have iought against befare? Wrhy should we expect a gov- ernment composed ai men and Mrs. Black, ail people bmought up, like ail Canadians, on the same principhes ai absolute freedom, 50 far as the laws ai the land can permit, suddenly ta shed its de- macratic beliefs and assume he role being played by the rulers ai Germany? We are criticizing, complain- ing; some ai us letting aur own particular 'war ai nerves' beat us; but how many ai us have a con- structive alternative or suggestion ta ofier? We do flot want dictatorship. We want democracy. Yet we seem ta be almost united in a discon- tent because our govemnment has not regimented us into a pack ai goose-stepping saluting autama- tans. We gather inta groups and engage in hours ai destructive criticism, without one ai us giving voice ta a constructive idea and then having the initiative ta raise a little finger ta fumther its fui- f ilîment. We have ail seen what pressure braught ta bear on the right quarters has done for Canada's production ai war materials. As a democratic people we were in a position ta apply that pressure. And naw, heaven help us, as a democratic people we are howl- ing, no, "howling" is too virile a word, rather we are grizzling at the government ta apply pressure ta make us "lend" mare money ta aur armnament programme; ta make us render ourselves mare physically fit ta face whatever cames; ta make us join the Red Cross, or same ather society, as active warkers. There is this ta be said for us grizzhers. We passess, ta at least some degree, a social consciaus- ness, an awareness ai the needs ai this emergency. It has been aur proud boast that democmacy has leit us free ta think as individuals, while Hitler has rahhed the German military training course at Kings- ton. Sergt. C. W. E. Meath and Corp. Alex Beith, Belleville, were home. Miss Greta Marris and Ciaud.e League ta the summer schaol at Bellevil le. From the number ai men who appear on the streets lately with their arms in slings it would seem the time is ripe for a "Sait First" campaign. There is fia lack ai attractions and amusements in Bowmanville Saturday nights. Within a stone's thraw ai the Four Corners one may hear the laud voice ai the vendor ai some cure-ahi, the clang ai bullets at the shooting gallery, the shout ai a skip an the bowling green as he makes a shot, and on the "musical row" the popular and patriatic music pealing forth at one time irom several makes ai talking machine.

Are we waitirig in this hour of our emergency, as the German people waited in their hour of defeat after the 1914-18 war, for a Hitler ta fead, to order and command? You know we are flot. Each one of us is proud of the fact that.on election day he can walk out of the polling booth, and, if he wishes, make na secret of the fact that he voted for Smith or Brown or Jones, without fear of a puppet in a brown or a black shirt suddenly appearing ta lead hlm away ta concentration camp for flot voting "properly". Is this freedom ta vote as we see fit the only prerogative we choase ta exercise as democratic people? Have you an idea that you think would aid Canada's war effort? Some stunt ta raise money for medical supplies? Some plan ta arganize out-of-doors, or keep-fit activities, for adults in your com- munity? Do you believe that sep- arate church or club groups and organizatians in your neighbor- hoed might pool their resources of time, energy and finances and tagether do a better job of helpîng Canada at war? Have you back there in the hinterland of your mind some lit- fie thought or wish that you feel might help your country? Give expression ta it! Don't just sit and thlnk! Think, but don't sit! Talk it over with yaur club president and members, with your social group, wîth the minis- ter of your church. If you do flot go ta church, find out where a minister lives and caîl on him anyway. If your idea is feasible, the resuits of yaur talk with him may surprise you. Write ta the editors of papers (they love it - it's their fan mail and a proaf that their papers really speak' with the vaice of demacracy). Keep the 'Letters ta the Editor' columns humming with your suggestions. Write ta your member of Par- liament; but don't say: "Dear Sir, why doesn't the government etc., etc., etc." Say instead: "Dear Sir, It has occurred ta me that it would be a good idea if we did sa and sa. I should appreciate any opinion you might offer an this subject." In ail this vast beautiful won- derful country there are only ten millions of us. Every one of us, man, woman, boy and girl counts. Be proud ta think: "I live in Can- ada, governed for the people and by the people. That makes me part af aur government."'
