"\ ' ¥ CONTROL' WILL CONTINUE It is useless ta expect the removal of all Gov- ernment controls, immediately at the close of the present phase of the war. Public demand for state aid in almost every phase of home and in- dustrial life is so great that it can only be met," even in part, by arbitrary controls of our daily living. . When one looks over the public services which the State is asked to give, it becomes increasingly evident that the requests cannot all be met as asked, Health: insurance stands at the head of the list, This in itself is expected to cost $260,- 000,000 annually. : Unemployment Insurance may mount in costs during the fairly long period of employment re- adjustment. - rv, Old Age Pensions and Mothers' Allowances have both been advanced over original figures, on 3 fF IE, . the plea of increased cost of living: + : - w Family allowances are now added tothe list of "state aids, ' All these blessings are asked of the Government without any control over the physical - habits of the recipients of the said blessings. Drastic as the whole gcheme is, it might be worth while if it could bring some force to bear upon the individual to induce him to observe rules of decency and good sense in his daily habits of life--if he has not learned self-control, the foundation of good living.

Good Work Brings Delightful Results It is always a delight to watch the growth and beautifying of a home- stead. To see the weeds disappear, the fences straighten, the house and barn shine with new paint, those are real signs of a love of home, and a | pride in one's surroundings.

Henders has improved the homestead, and has beautified thd place, and, best of all, she has made the little farm pay. {Neighbors and friends have watched | with pleasure the continuous work i that has produced this result, Miss Henders has applied business prin- ciples to the farm work and has learn- ed to invest in those things which have brought steady profits.

I had the pleasure of hearing Mr, Isley last Friday, He is a clear and forceful speaker; and he has some- thing to say. Best of all what he says is appreciative and encouraging. Frankly, I am getting very tired of the blue ruin folk, who are never best to find fault, and make somebody clse miserable. The foundation of his remarks was well expressed when he pointed out that at this time and in this project-- The Seventh Victory Loan--Canada is a unit. In every city, town, village and countryside, the effort of the hour is to raise the one billion, three hundred million dollars needed to carry on the war, to prevent inflation, and to be an insurance for post war reconstruction, The budget is for six billions. Those are what are called "astrono- mical" figures. In the early stages of the war, we had to go through a period of preparation, Money was needed; but not so much, for we had no cquipment to speed our ammuni- tion. Now the daily wastage is so tremendous, and so necessary to win final Victory, that immense sums of money must be raised if our armed forces are to carry on, It would be nice to be able to sit down and write a gossipy letter to you; but I am fairly deluged with pamphlets, "letters, and articles on war now and what is to be done after the war.
