IS IT ANYBODY'S BUSINESS Is it anybody's business If a gentleman should choose To call upon a lady-- If the lady doesn't refuse' Or to speak a little plainer,,.. That the meaning all may know-- Is it anybody's business If a lady has a beau? Is it anybody's business When that gentleman does call? Or when he leaves the lady? Or if he comes at all? Or is it necessary That the curtain should be drawn, To save from further trouble From outside lookers-on? Is it anybody's business-- But the lady's--if her beau Rides out with other ladies And doesn't let her know? Is it anybody's business-- But the gentleman's--if she Should accept another escort Where he doesn't chance to be? If a person's on the sidewalk Whether great or whether small, Is it anybody's business Where that person means to call? And if you see a person, As he's calling anywhere, Is it anybody's business What his business may be there? The substance of our query Simply stated, would be this: Is it anybody's business What another's business is? Or if it is, or if it isn't, We would really like to know For we're certain if it isn't, There are some who make it so. If it is, we'll join the rabble And act the noble part Of the tattlers and defamers Who throng the public mart; If it isn't, we'll act the teacher, Until each meddler learns 'Twould be better in the future If he'd mind his own concerns.

CANADIAN WAY O F LIFE A Chance to Go Fishin'. . . ! CANADIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY APPEAL FOR 100 BLOOD DONORS FOR MARCH 23rd CLINIC to be held in the COLBORNE UNITED CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS ROOMS -- 8.30 a.m. until 12.30 p.m. Our appeal is in the following excerpt from a letter from Padre Major W. E. L. Smith, of Grafton, written from Canadian General Hospital, C.M.F., Dec. 16th, 1944, to Mr. and Mrs. Henry Knight, Wicklow. "I wish the blood donors could spend an hour in the resuscitation ward to watch how the blood they give brings life back to the wounded men. They come in weak from loss of blood, and body and mind unmb from shock. They have no colour and their eyes are glazed over. "As the blood plasma passes into their veins you can watch the change--they begin to revive, the colour comes back, the eyes brighten, and as the mind awakens the lad begins to fight for life." Isn't that a sufficient appeal to you to volunteer for the next clinic? Read the above again and then fill in and mail the following form so that the Mobile Clinic Branch may know how many to provide for. Blood Donor Clinic Committee Place Canadian Red Cross Society lc stamp Box 289, Colborne Ontario here I want to help our boys and I volunteer to give my blood at the March 23rd Clinic. It will be more convenient for me between the hours of..........to.......... Name................................................................. (Please Print) Address........................................................ Phone No......................... YES, and the right to go fishin'... the right to enjoy the simple, pleasant things of life! Picnics by the river--week-end trips in the old family jalopy--these are some of the things that your boy is fighting for today! And he won't be able to enjoy those things, unless we at home fight for him against inflation--unless we make sure when he gets back his dollar will be worth a dollar. To protect his dollar, we must realize NOW the dangers of careless, unnecessary buying! We must buy only what we need--never buy two where one will do! We must not evade rationing or price control, or deal with black markets. If we break the rules, our country--the country he's fighting for--will start on that spiral of prices known as inflation! Remember! Every time ONE of us breaks ONE of these rules, we're lowering the value of our soldier's dollar. We're helping to shoot prices sky-high . . . and sky-high prices mean inflation. The value of every dollar in Canada goes down, and when the men overseas come back their dollar might buy only a quarter's worth of goods! We can prevent inflation! We can give our fighting man his "right to go fishin'", if we make sure his dollar will be worth a dollar, when he comes home. We can't give back to him his lost years, or his lost youth. But if we keep up the fight against inflation, he can look forward to pleasant, satisfying living -- the Canadian way of life! Make this Pledge Today! I pledge myself to do my part in fighting inflation: By respecting price controls and other anti-inflation measures, and refraining from careless and unnecessary buying. I will not buy two where one will do, nor will I buy a "new" where an "old" will do. By buying Victory Bonds and War Savings Stamps, supporting taxation, and abiding by all such measures which will lower the help keep prices at a normal level.
