MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1940 The King and His People One' effect of the war, particularly for those who are in places of special danger, is the binding together of all classes of people in a bond of common sympathy and understanding. ) A notable example of this is the strengthening of the ties between Their Majesties, King George and Queen Eliza- beth and the Princesses, and their lowliest subjects, as a result of the recent bomb- ing of Buckingham Palace. It is very inter- esting to note that the first act of the King following the bombing was a visit to the poorer sections in the east end of London. There seems little doubt that the Nazi airmen who attempted to bomb the palace did so with that definite objective in view, probably on explicit instructions of their chiefs. This belief is strengthened by re- calling the intense personal hatred shown toward King Haakon of Norway and the Queen of the Netherlands. There seemed little doubt in their cases that the Germans made every effort to wipe out those noble royal families and were bitterly disappoint- ed when their attempts were frustrated. Business Efficiency Applied to Patriotic Appeal for Funds From the standpoint of economy of time and general efficiency there is much to be said in favor of the plan announced on Fri- day last for a combined appeal for war ser- vices and local welfare work. Fourteen or- ganizations are to be included in the drive. These are as follows: Canadian Red Cross Society, Salvation Armoy Red Shield Fund, Knights of Columbus Army Huts, Y.M.C.A. War Services, Canadian Legion War Services, Navy League of Canada, Citizens Committee for Troops in Training, Women's Welfare League, Victorian Order of Nurses, Christmas Cheer ¥'und, Boy Scouts Association, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Oshawa Humane Society, Canadian Legion for Local Work. The work already done by each of these organizations is the best recommendation for them. But The Times will endeavor to further acquaint its readers with the ac- tivities of each, to refresh the memory and bring up-to-date the story of those engaged in war work in particular. In the past cach has been the object of a special appesai for funds -- with the ex- ception of fwo which could not be accom- modated in the scheme of things. Obvious- ly fourteen separate appeals during the year places a tremendous strain on the facilities of any community, wasteful of the time and energy of both canvassers and givers. Why have a dozen or more inter- views when one will do? That is the ques- tion Oshawa people have been asking f.r some time and the answer is now given in the co-operative appeal that is to be made during the first week in October and which we believe will be received with hearty enthusiasm and a generous response on all sides. The committee in charge has shown com- mendable judgment in "drafting" Mr. George W. McLaughlin as general chair- man for the campaign. No Oshawa citizen .stands higher with all classes in the com- munity and none is more capable to give the necessary leadership to a campaign of the magnitude and importance of this one. There is no doubt a thoroughly representa- tive crganization will rally under his lead- ership and will count it a privilege to as- sist in putting over the drive to the credit of this city and for the good of thoge who are served by the various organizations, and particularly to help the men who are on active service at home and abroad. Let's show them we mean business and. that we are not going to let them down. Calling the Small Investor Canada's second war loan has made splendid progress toward its objective of $300,000,000 and everyone has been grati- fied by the response so far. The figures released last night show total subscriptions of $249,000,000. However, there is one factor that has been disappointing. This is the compara- tively small number of subscriptions. The total has been made up mainly by large subscriptions from wealthy corporations and individuals who have recognized the importance of the issue, not only from a patriotic but from an investment stand- point. These large subscriptions are very welcome and are most necessary to put the loan over, but they are not enough to reach the large total required without the help of the small investor. Subscriptions are invited for amounts from $100 up and the Government has issued a call addressed particularly to the small investor asking him to add his weight to the support of the loan. It is worth remembering that the great defence forces of the Empire are made up of small units, individuals in fact, each man in his place, and each man expected to do his duty. The same idea should apply to the raising of funds to back up our fighting forces. Let it not be said of the people of Canada at large that they represent "the little man who wasn't there." This is one time when the little man is wanted and wanted badly and he can come into his own during the next few days by subscrib- ing to the greatest degree of his ability to Canada's second war loan. France Is Paying Plenty Building up an army is expensive. Main- taining it is expensive -- it is a necessary burden at the present time. = But there is one thing worse than maintaining a great army of your own. It is maintaining an army that probably you hate. France has found out what that means. It was previously estimated that France was paving $2,500,000 a day to maintain the German army that occupies three- fifths of their country. But last Thursday France was informed that the price it will pay for the German army of occupation of more than two million men is more than $8,000,000 a day. That will probably con- tinue as long as the war lasts. Editorial Notes Scientists say fish scales are virtual biographies. Egg on the vest tells a story all its own, also. This war will be remembered for the number of "brain trusts' created to offset enemy skull-duggery. The Royal Air Force is showing Ber- liners that adoption of a closed economy does not prevent free exchange of bombs. What is happening over London may be viewed as the most fateful crisis in crisis, with the issue to determine whether the world reverts to barbarism or civilization prevails. And yet some broadcasters view it merely as a spectacle. Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of Finance, sends out an appeal today, asking every- one to subscribe to the second war loan. The big investors appear to have respond- ed magnificently, according to press re- ports. But what is now needed is the thousands of small investors to put the campaign across. A Bit of Verse ONTARIO'S EMBLEM (Second Prize Poem, by Mary Vallentyne) With the scarlet of the maple And the crimson of the rose; With the purple shades of evening When the sturdy thistle blows; With the emerald of the shamrock And the gold of fleur-de-lis, And the dusty blue of twilight: It is this, and more, to me. It has turquoise of the heaven, It has yellow of the sun, It has orange of the dawning When the day is first begun. There are greys of misty mornings As the fisherman sets out; There is sparkled flash of silver At the leaping of the trout; Browns and blacks of tow'ring forest And the sapnhire of a lake: Ah, the multi-coloured fancy That this simple white can make. A Bible Thought for Today HATE HURTS THE HATER MORE THAN THE HATED: But love ye your enemies and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest; for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil--St, Luke 6:35.

Home Men Must Help In Remodelling World Bowmanville, Sept. 16. -- "The men now overseas are prepared to do what they can to make this a better .world in which to live, but they can't do it alone.

SEES BENEFITS AND CANADIANS Rounded Out by Associa- tion Says Psychologist Toronto, Sept. 16.--Dr. Karl S. Bernhardt, University of Toronto psychiligist who has been working on the placement of British children brought here through a university committee, believes that both Cana- dian children and the country's young war guests will be "better rounded-out individuals" as a result of their association. The English arrivals, he states, appear more advanced than Cana- | dian children in classics, language and literature, but to have had less instruction in hard work and social studies. Dr. Bernhardt has found that the English youngsters are more aware of the war, and inter- ested in details of it than Canadian children, "which is to be expected perhaps." The English children are "very keen to learn about Canada. and they certainly know more about our country than the typical Ameri- | can tourist." | Dr. Bernhardt asserts that if Can- adian parents who have taken Eng- lish children into their homes get | along happily with them until Feb- ruary, their relations will continue ! satisfactory. The Institute of Child Study, in | connection with the University of Toronto, proposes to offer a special course in child study to these foster parents, in order to help them with the problems they may run into, COL, H.R.

The King and Queen Rally Nation to New Defiance of Hitle Britain Calmly Awaits Ex- pected Invasion, Confi- dent of Its Preparedness; Royalty and People Are! Bound Closer Through Suffering. London, Sept..16 -- The battered heart of London was a death-trap of pelting shrapnel and fiery bombs early today ae Adolf Hitler's "total war" blazed into its second week with an eight-hour and twenty- five minute raid that began Friday night at 9 pm. (4 pm, ED.T.), and ended at 5:25 Saturday morning (12:25 a.m.; ED.T). The King and' Queen, uninjured from the bombing of their palace Friday morning, rallied their subjects to new defiance of "the German barbarism," and officials charged Hitler with 4 murderous at- tempt to drive the Government and King from London. From every side, from the East End slums to the fashionable West End mansions--both of which have been ripped by Nazi bombs--came evidence of stout morale--and cold anger. Sowing incendiary bombs right and left, the raiders smashed upon London through a thunderous wall of fire thrown up by the city's new anti-aircraft defenses and at 12:30 a.m.--three and a half hours after the start of the seventh night of siege--Central London was an in- ferno, Shrapnel Like Hail Shrapnel from hundreds of "archies" clattered everywhere like hail, shattering glass and carrying death for any one unlucky enough | to be in its path. Incendiaries were crashing down on office buildings, homes and apartment houses, start- ing fires. The wail of "screamer" shells pierced the din frequently and anti- aircraft shells streaked across the sky in such a constant flow that it seemed like suddenly ignited rivers of oil were flowing above London. In contrast with their approach, the raiders swept down frightening- ly low early Saturday some of them less than 5,000 feet, to drop their bombs. The night assault began at 9 p.n. the fourth attack of the cay, after | furious and unprecedented daylight attacks that virtually paralyzed this greatest of world cities. As London's new and effective anti-aircraft defense sent up a hel- lish din of defiance, the' Govern- ment announced that neither it nor the Royal family has any intention of abandoning London. King George and Queen Eliza- beth, targets of a destructive dive- bombing attack on Buckingham Palace during the morning, rallied their wounded, weary but defiant subjects against "this German bar- parity." BECOME PLANES INONLY 14 DAYS, Out of the Frying Pan Into the Spitfire, Scrap Metal Soon Used Up London, Sent. 16 -- The people of | | England, all doing their part to keep the British war effort at its peak, are contributing everything from pots and pans to Turkish bayonets and Chinese swords for airplane manufacture, the British Broad- casting Corporation reports. An indication that Britain now has every facility for taking fraying pans off the fire and putting them into the air, is the fact that only a fortnight after these various forms of metal were collected, they were in the air in the form of Spitfires and Hurricanes. Housewives in Britain are so en- thusiastic they have sent everything from a frying nan to a kettle, hop- ing there is aluminum in them. Other contributions Turkish bayonet, knife swords used by Chinese executioners and other curios which found their way into the collection. These will be sold for the benefit of the Red Cross. Parte of German planes shot down, the B.B.C. said, are of little use, as their aluminum content is practically nothing. escaping | were a, | Jailed Thirty-Days On Theft Charg Lindsay, Sept. 16--Bernard D socmme, 18, charged with the th | of $36.50 from W.
