Banish Bondage!" makes a good slogan},. It appears to be a case of lending money to Can@da, to Britain, to the Allies, or sitting back to takea chance that the Nazis or the other yellow race will come and take it. PAGE POUR It isz'?ot an unfair sungmary to say that either democFacy wins this war, or loses everything. The only patriotic people who can not afford to buy Victory Bonds are those who do not have the wherewithal to make a purchase. The average man or woman may not be able to buy a million dollars‘ worth of bonds, but there are literally millions of Canadian men and women who can buy a $50.00 or a $100.00 bond. It is easy to see the large amount that can be raised by millions buyâ€" ing even small bonds. Everybody should buy all they can of the Vittory Loan bonds. If all do this, the loan will go well over the top. The money must be raised to buy ships, planes, anninment. subpplies. It is needed to The money must be raised to buy.SNIDPS, bombs, guns, equipment, supplies. It is needed to support those already overseas and those trainâ€" ing for service here or overscas. The buying of\s ut‘ 1: * * Ca Victory Bonds is the best of good business and the most loyal of patriotic effort. The people of Canada may roughly be divided into two classes. Those who believe that the govâ€" ernment has done well in its war effort may be classed in the one group. The other group is the class that is not satisfied with the governmental procedure. Naturally those who agree with the sgovernment attitude should buy Victory Bonds. If they do not make such purchases they are deâ€" serting those they pretend to support. It is the bounden duty of all sympathetic with the governâ€" ment ito support and uphold them to the limit.| The present obligation is for financial support. To fail to give this support is to condemn the country and the cause as well as the administraâ€" | tion. Those who think the government has not ‘ aone too badly are logically compelled to do their part to support the government. Those who disapprove of the government policy are even more obligated to purchase all they can of Victory Bonds. If they think that the governâ€" ment has been derelict in war effort they owe it| to themselves not to lag behind in their own part. If they think the government has failed in its full part in the war, they are compelled to bend special effort to make up for any lack on the part of others. If they believe the government has not given full support to the boys overseas, they owe it to themselves to Canada, to the grand old Em.â€" pire, and to the cause of freedom and democracy. that there should be no lagging, no failure in the of total war effort. Those who are calling for total war effort are particularly called upon‘ for total war effort on their own part. In this case ~the total war effort demanded at the moment is ‘the purchase of Victory Loan bonds to the very limit of ability to do so. The government will be "the one that will have to answer for any failure "in duty in administration. The nation must guard ‘its own record. The answer in any event, in every ~event, is "Buy Victory Bonds. Buy to the very limit!" ; t k C I t € 1 1 I | Timmins, Ont., Thursd: Eie Advanee There are many people toâ€"day who lare sOo m ~â€" | pressed by the brutality, the terror, the horror, the infamy that is rampant in the world, that they are near to ‘despair. There are those who read and hear so much of evil and of grief that hope seems to be fled. , It is not enough to say that ‘some people look only for the ill reports â€" that ‘they appear to take a melancholy pleasure in ‘looking onily at difficulties and defeats, In the â€"world of toâ€"day no one needs to seek for wickedâ€" imess or illâ€"omen. These things are forcibly thrust ‘to the sight of all. None can escape the defeats, ~the abominations of the day. True as this: may be, it it no time for gloom or for despair. Rather, it is the day for courage, for hope, for faith. ~The §w_answer to the pessimist is this: "Look on both ~sides!" L :A tA lAAA There are tWo, Sides L0 UNDC NnCWS, U uit VV | the truth. Face the full fact that the Nazis have unloosed on the world, all the savagery, the misery, the degeneracy, the villainy of the dark ages, and the fact remains that at the same time the‘ world has witnessed a gallantry, a generosity, ag glory never before equalled in this world of sin.‘ ‘Set against the vilest deeds of the Nazis, the selfâ€"| sacrifice, the helpfuiness, the loving kindness ofl the "little people of London" for example, and humanity still has a balance in the scale of world ‘nobility. The horrors of the day fall into shadows besides the countless samples of faith, of devotion, ‘of loyalty, of thoughtfuilness for others springing up on every hand. All the horrors brought forward ‘by the gangster peoples fade into black patches ‘besides the brilliant lights thrown on the world by ‘the men and women and children who have lost ‘ self in the service of others.

Through the news of every reverse there shines the sun of hope for victory yet to come. For every deed of devilry, there is the record of acts of chivalry and the countless examples of simple faith, of kindness, of charity, of good. Look at both sides of the picture, and there will be no thought of despair or hopelessness. True it is that evil seems to ride the earth toâ€"day. But good is not dead. Hope still lives. Elsewhere in this issue will be found a message passed on to The Advance by the South Porcupine Red Cross branch. The chief lesson in that mesâ€" sage is the thought that if the heart is wrung to tears, as well it may be, the time calls for work, for effort. "Weep if you mustâ€"but work"â€"that Much is being written and spoken in Canad#4 !; these days about apparently important changes“ being made in the control of affairs in the heartt: of the Empire. Cabinet changes in Britain have| roused much interest hereâ€"perhaps, too much in~â€"| terest. It may be that if some of this interest were devoted to affairs at home, Canada would be betâ€" ter ‘for it, and so with the Empire, and the world at large. It may appCal that the people of Briâ€" tain were dissatisfied with the progress or lack of‘ progress of the war effort. It would be difficult to believe that British displeasure with the British‘ administration was more pronounced than Canaâ€" dian unblappiness at events here at home. There is reason for believing that Canadian disapproval |has been just as vocal and emphatic as the people‘s expression in the Old Land. The difference seems to lie in the attitude of the two governments. In Britain the governiment appears to be very reâ€" i sponsive to public sentiment. There is no effort to stifle criticism. Members of parliament repreâ€" sent the people not particular parties. s« If party policies run counter to public sentiment, then it is too bad for the parties overseas. In Canada the attitude appears to be that the public may how! its head,off so far as a party or a part of a party or a government is concerned. In Britain men are eXâ€" pected to be loyal to the peopleâ€"to the country. !lHere loyalty to a party or a part of a party seems |to be placed before all else.. Democracy seems to |work over in Britain... It might be a good thing : to try it out in Canada. People in general appear to be trying very earâ€" nestly to observe the spirit of the new Daylight Saving time, so called. In this they have shown the same spirit displayed in everything offered as a war measure. It is regrettable that some of the government‘s own children do not attempt some measure of coâ€"operation. There is for example, the case of the radio. There has been no outery at the loss and inconvenience entailed by the loss of an hour‘s daylight in the morning through the | new time. Work is started in darkened hours withâ€" out complaint. In most cases there is the loss of an hour in the morning through the new time. And this hour is not saved at the night end. The: night news broadcast over the radioâ€"the only one in the day that most people consider worth lisâ€" tening toâ€"comes an hour later than befors, by the clock. As one Irishman phrased it, "the ten ‘o‘clock broadcast is now at eleven o‘clock." To this ithe radio reply will be that the broadcast is at the same time as before. It is only to be expected that i‘the radio could fool themselves into believing that logical, when they think they have cozened the people into believing that an hour has been saved lby the new time. Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whatever it may be all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" |en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, ta smile on our lips and our heads held high, and with God‘s help we shall not fail." i Life Insuranceâ€"Victory Bonds.

Police Had to go to Theatre Three Times Three Motorists Fined for Careless Driving. Two young men charged with assault following a fracas with the doorman of the Broadway Theatre just about the time that the midnight show wasi starting Sunday night, found that their ocst for going to the theatre amounted' to more than they had bargained for. The final tabulation wasn‘t made until Tuesday afternoon when the magisâ€" trate charged them an extra ten dol-‘ lars and costs for their outing. ‘ The two voung men, Ben Auger andi Anthony Hoff, had been told to g> nome three, times, according to the testimony offered by the police, but ; they still hung around. J. J. FolSy, the doorman, ejected Hoff from the theatre when he found him spitting water all over the walls of the theatre! near the fountain. He first told the man to stoo and then started to put him out and while he was ejecting the "customer", Auger appeared on the scene and attacked him from behind. He finally got both the men out and then called the police. Two constables appeared and told the men to go home when they found out that the men had tried to enter the theatre again and had again been pu out. As so0on as the constables had left the men again tried to get in and the conâ€" stables returned a third time. . This \time the men were arrested. one of the patrons in the theatre appeared to corroborate the testimony of Mr. Foley regarding the fighting but said that he had not seen the start of the trouble. Hof was the only one of the two men to give evidence, Auger choosing to take a chance without telling his own story. Hoff said that he had been upstairs and had gone downstairs to get a drink of water. Some of the water had spilled on the floor and the acorman had then tried to put him out. He returned to the theatre the second time he said to get his coat and then had returned the third time to get scme buttons that had been torn off his shirt. His excuse wasn‘t strong enough to convince the magistrate, however, and at the conclusion of his evidence Maâ€" gistrate Atkinson fined both men ten dollars and costs. A Timmins woman appeared in court to answer a charge laid by the police under the Children‘s Protection Act. She was charged with allowing her daughter to ‘remain out after nine o‘clock at night. Testimony was takâ€" en from Constable Gordon Beacock who said that he had encountered the thirteenâ€"yearâ€"old daughter out late at night several times and said that she could be found on the street practically any night. On that night that the charge was laid, the constable had told the girl to go home as it was about halfâ€"past nine, but the girl told him that she didn‘t have to go home but would follow him all the way around his beat and then she proceeded to do so. The woman took the stand and said that her daughter stayed out pracâ€" tically every night and had done so for the past couple of years. She said that she couldn‘t understand why the police had suddenly decided to bring a charge against her as they had already had a great many opportunitiee and had never done anything it. She then told a long story about the troubles in her home and said that she didn‘t blame the child for staying out at night as she was probably afraid to come home. The crown attorney suggested that the husband should have been charged as well and the magistrate decided to adjourn the caes for a week so that the other charge could be laid. Camille Latour paid a fine of ten: dollars and costs on a charge of careâ€" less driving when he was found guilty. He was involved in an accident on Eim street on February l1ith.* The driver of the other car swore that Latour had failed to take the necessary precauâ€" tions after he had started to cross the intersection. Constable Gariepy said that the truck driven by Latour had struck the other car near the rear end and had caused considerable damage. He said that the Latour truck had struck the car when it was about threeâ€" quarters of the way across the interâ€" section. Douglas Perreault, a local taxi driver, also faced a charge of careless driving ‘ h w ‘ w ~ w â€" + a . y â€" + / w ‘ * â€" + â€" " â€" â€" PEETY ¢ ,,*- - PP ETE / .
