Some- times these slogans have a real monetary value and are included as part of the good- will of the company. One can think of many such slogans that have become popu- Jar and that are undoubtedly of immense value to the firms that have adopted them in their advertising. And so in the great "Win-the-War and Community Fund" drive which Oshawa has now undertaken it seemed desirable that some short pithy phrase should be coined to indicate the purpose of the appeal and to help present the challenge to the com- munity. This thought has taken shape in the words used at the top of this editorial: "ENLIST FOR HUMANITY." Do not these three words epitomize the appeal of all the varied organizations, whether considered individually or as a group? For war services or home needs: "Enlist for Humanity." For the physical, moral and spiritual well-being of our troops in Canada and overseas: "Enlist for Hu- manity." By personal effort in helping with the work of the campaign and through our contributions: "Enlist for Humanity." And it is humanity which is the anti- thesis of the barbarism that Hitler and his cohorts are thrusting on the world to- day. The record of bombing of innocent women and children in London and else- where cries to us daily in the name of humanity as we read our newspapers and listen to our radios. Hundreds of thousands of our fellows have enlisted for active service. In the name of humanity let every one of us "enlist" to back them up to the limit in their fight and ours for freedom, security and decency for our country, our empire and the world. "ENLIST FOR HUMANITY." Depression, Defeat Do Not Exist There is no depression in this house; and we are not interested in possibilities of defeat. They do not exist. This is the wording on a poster displayed in the windows of English homes, one of which has been sent by a woman in Bed- fordshire to her brother in Toronto. It is typical of many others. This poster is a modest little square of paper, but it breathes the spirit of British people: No depression, and not interested in the pos- sibilities of defeat, because they do not exist. In its small way and in its sententious message this poster carries across the ocean a message of reassurance. Not the opinion of officialdom, nor of prominent investigators and commentators, but the simple declaration of a family that, so far as it is concerned, the situation is faced with cheerfulness and courage. With such people depression cannot find lodgment; and as for the possibilities of defeat they are "not interested." What chance has any enemy against such a people! Training Camps Should Be Dry Twenty-nine training camps are being set up across Canada for the training of men called up under the new system which has been made possible by reason of the complete registration recently carried out. The first call will be for unmarried men in the age bracket from 21 fo 24 inclusive. The Canadian Temperance Federation has appealed to Ottawa authorities to rule that these training camps shall be "dry". The Federation, through its secretary, Dr. A. J. Irwin, has pointed out that the pur- Pose of the camps is to train a civilian, not 8 professional, army, and that the youth of those who will be trained for some time to come, is an added reason for adopting a dry instead of a wet policy. : With this appeal The Times is in hearty agreement. There is no reasonable excuse or necessity for thrusting the sale of intoxicating beverages of any sort under the noses of young men who by the thous- ands have not previously tasted liquor. The wet canteen in such circumstances can- not by any stretch of the imagination make better soldiers of these young men. A large industry working on war orders would not tolerate such an idea for a mom- ent. Why should the military authorities hesitate to declare themselves as favoring the dry policy for these camps. There would be no great difficulty in enforcing such a policy. We venture to suggest that ninety per cent. of the trainees would wel- come the ruling and would co-operate heartily with it. This proposal should not be considered as in any sense narrow or bigotted. It is simply based on sound common sense and fairness to the men who are required to take the training. Oshawa Sends Greetings to Galt The idea of a combined drive for war services and community funds is evidently. gaining in acceptance. A despatch from Galt yesterday announced that that thriv- ing and progressive city has adopted the idea and launched a campaign to raise $60,000 during the first three days of October. Oshawa's objective is $85,000 and. the first week in October has been chosen for the big drive. Like Oshawa, Galt will set aside fifty per cent. of the amount raised for the great humanitarian work of the Red Cross So- ciety. Other war services such as those of the Salvation Army and Knights of Colum- bus will share the remainder of the fund, along with a numbez of local welfare ser- vices, similar to the list we have in Oshawa. It should be obvious to anyone that the idea of combining and co-ordinating appeals for war and home needs is the only effi- cient and satisfactory method, in view of the large number of individual appeals that have been made in the past. Such a move is certain to meet with public approval and appreciation. In Ottawa a committee is now working on a similar plan which will no doubt be recommended to all communi- ties and in fact may become compulsory during war time. i Oshawa salutes Galt and extends best wishes for a successful campaign. Each city will watch the progress of the drive in the other with much interest. It will be an interesting and friendly competition, Editorial Notes but one of the non-military targets terrorize the city's populace, Official Records Show No| Airdromes or Plane] Plants Out of Action London, Sept. 19. -- Confidential | reports of the Ministry of Home | Security showed yesterday that ten | days and nights of furious air ed.

Then, if they do get away, the shortage of blacksmiths would make for their early capture. Canadians are showing their heroism in Old London. It takes nerves of steel and considerable confidence of anyone's ability to remove a large time bomb--witness the exploit of Licut. R. Davies, of Merriton, in removing the half-ton missile from near St. Paul's cathedral.

"The German loss of air crews has been nearly 4,000 while ours are less than 600," Sinclair said, "Dur- ing air fighting in the Middle East during the same period the Royal Air Force lost 15 aircraft and de- stroyed 56 Italian airplanes." He said the fall in German air- crafy . production as a result of R.AF. bombing could be placed as high as 30 per cent. "while lack of sleep affected the morale of Ger- man workers." Protesting against "careless" bombing by German pilots, Sinclair said: "As I go around little houses of London, a half dozen shattered by a single bomb, as I see the sense- less damage to hospitals, museums, and picture galleries, and as I | stand on the roof of the Air Min- that the | sank an Italian destroyer and ietry at night realizing Germans are at a height of 20,000 | barge in the port of & h into Germany and 1taly, oF smashe ing ships and barges in the ports of France and the Low Countries, ships and barges collected for the invasion of Britain. : : "They do not cruise about at. 000 feet unloading bombs. = and indiscriminately. come| down much lower and bombs with deadly aim at cent of German naval, military 'and | power." ; "EAGLE SQUADRON" OF US.
