MEDONTE SCHOOL AREA IN ACTION Elmvale Lance; The formation of the township school area in Medonte township was no miracle according i to Mr. Morgan Stewart, Chairman of} the Board. He stated at the Nomin- ation meeting this year that it was a good straight business aWair. They had' been able to finance their schools on only a five-mill rate in spite of the fact that both wood and salaries were much higher. Two school sf^ tions have been added to the area this year. According to the repoi-t of the trustees of this area, many im- provements have been made, and their idea is to increase the stand- ard of education in the area. A group of 10 schools under a school area will bring an extra $1,000 into the school district. By investing; this .?1,000 in equipment or school lighting, sanitation or libraries, it is e<iuivalent to $1,500. Municipal of- ficers should be interested from tlui financial point of view as w«U im from the service consideration to tt» boys and girls. Critics are long-legged men trfiatt to teach men with two good \ega how to walk. About the only lot a person does- n't grumble about is the one Jl* flill> heir to in the cemetery. UNWARRANTED OPTIMISM It is weU to make some prepara- tion for peace. But how many not- iced Churchill's recent remarks? "The burdens! which rest upon the Govermment have never been heavier. Great battles srway to and fro with varying fortunes. Battles far larger still affecting the whole life of our counliry and pending, foreign, and domestic problems such as rarely come before tae Cabinet in history crowd upon us. At the same time an altogether unwarranted optimism has taken possession of large num- bers &f our people."

THE NEED GROWS AS VICTORY HEARS $10,000,000 n..M NOW! This is the year of supreme effort, the year Red Cross will be needed as never before. And as our all-out victory drive gains momentum, as casualty lists mount, as the horrors of war spread wider and sink deeper, this need will grow^. We must see them through: the fighting men on every firon t, the gallant Merchant Navy, the -wound- ed and maimed in British and Canadian hospitals. Prisoners of War, the homeless war orphans of Britain and the suffering millions of Europe. Only the Red Cross meets this call for vital life saving food for Prisoners of War parcels,ffledicines, comforts, blood serum and nursing that spell survival for so many. There is no one else to do the job.
