For most of us, this warâ€"perhaps the bloodiest and most destructive in the whole history of the human raceâ€"comes no clos>r t us than the headlines of our daily mnwspaper. Let us thank God that this 4s so. And yet it is imperative tha; we avoid the mistake of thinking that this is not our war ard that we have no direct and immediate interest in the fortun2s of those who are fighting our ‘battles 3,000 miles away. It is all tco easy to feel that because our armed forces stand between us and the 2nemy that this war cannot touch us.

The Guides of the 106th Company held their weekly meeting on Monday in St. Matthew‘s hall. It is no szcret that after the first few weeks the response in the sale of War Saving Samps and Certificates fell ‘-far below the objective and pitifully below the proportionate figure for |Great Britain and Australia.
