twoway mitts whole mitts and rifle mitts directions for which are found in the red cross knitting book are needed in large quanti ties the chairman said rifle mitts are made in khaki wool only but navy blue grey khaki or air force blue wool may be used for whole mitts and twoway mitts shortage of mitts in britain is due to the fact that huge quantities of these articles are being handed out at eastern canadian ports by tho canadian ired cross to men of tho british navy who arrive in desper ate need of clothing in this connec- iri stiners on saturday mr fred jones visited his father last week mr jim johnston is working for mrs kendall best of luck to kenneth wagg who has stated a jewellery busl ness in oakville i ill be in 1941 than it has been in 1940 his going to demand more effort morelil and far more change in our daily lives already the pattern and pace of life in canada have undergone a profound change gaps in employment are rapidly filling up some 350000 canadians who were unemployed before the outbreak of war are now employed another 200000 are with our armed forces factories which until recently were turning out goods for civilian consumption have been transformed into humming arsenals pouring out in struments of war night and day shifts have become the rule rather than the exception but the peak of effort is not yet in sight in 1941 still more factories will switch to war produc tion new plants will be established thousands more will be employed this rising tide of activity must continue until we reach the flood of effort when every canadian will be employed and working to his utmost every possible square inch of plant will be utilized every wheel will be whirring in the race we are waging against time and the enemy more men are working working longer hours making more munitions earning more money producing more goods putting more money into circulation most canadians are sharing in this in creased national wealth have extra dollars in their pockets the effort the prime minister calls for is gaining momentum but many canadians as individuals havd not yet felt the real pinch of sacrifice canadians of all classes are sharing tax burdens but it must be admitted that up to date the larger part of the money needed for canadas war effort has come from business firms and individuals with large incomes they are paying high taxes they have already invested heavily in war loan bonds rt hon w l mackenzie king new years eve 1940 this is not enough the plain truth is that canadas rapidly expanding production for war purposes will require increasing sums of money that is why the prime minister warned canadians in his new years broadcast that the year ahead demands more effort and more sacrifice every man woman and child is asked to lend every dollar you lend will help to put another man in a job making more munitions every dollar you lend may save a soldiers life help to shorten the war small wage earners must carry their share of the burden too no one need go without necessities but you are urged to forego the purchase of unnecessary articles however small the cost no matter how well you are able to pay for them which take labour and material away from the great task of providing goods needed to win the war this is your war everything you have everything you believe in is now at stake this is a message to you a challenge to every canadian a call to the colours a call for volunteers be sure to make provision to pay your income tax payment is made easier by the new instalment plan but be prepared to do more budget your earnings to make sure that you will have money available to buy war savings certificates and to subscribe for war loan bonds you will help canada you will help yourself
