THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1940 British Lion Is Magnificent "The Old Lion is magnificent" says an outstanding and timely editorial on the front page of the current issue of Canadian Baptist, official publication of the Baptist Church. "Bloodied, but unbowed -- alone at the end of the first year of war," the writer states, referring to Great Britain. "Alone? Stalwart cubs surround -- Can- ada, Australia, New Zealand, Newfound- land, India, Africa and more -- not a gap in the circle," the editorial continues. "And one that went away a long time ago, while not in the war directly, stalks in the background to do all that he can to help the Old Lion. Doing a great job, too. "Two things of vital importance happen- ed in the last year--The Old Lion was re- born, and there came into official existence the Anglo-Saxon Empire, dedicated to the cause of freedom for all men, everywhere. "Phe civilized world salutes the Old Lion today, the Britain unafraid, unwavering, facing better and grander days -- and "Victory with justice." Prayers for Royalty Heard In time of national stress as in the pres- ent war, the singing of The National Anthem takes on a new meaning and prac- tically no public meetings of any import- ance are held without the singing of "God Save the King" somewhere on the program. In recent days and weeks the Germans have tried to kill King George and Queen Elizabeth in the bombings of Buckingham Palace and in their failure there is evidence that God hears the prayers of the people. We recall that in the last war King George V was thrown from his horse, but his life was spared. It is not so long ago that the Queen Mother was injured in an automo- bile accident. Her life was spared. For centuries the National Anthem has been sung in every part of the Empire. It really is an intoned prayer to God to save the King and it is significant that while there have been many narrow escapes, those of the royal household have been spared. The National Anthem, more than ever, is being raised as a prayer for the King and the members of the royal family and this prayer of British hearts has always been answered. Any national anthem for Hitler and his outlaws will make no refer- ence to God. Keep Your Credit Good In these days when one is called upon to meet so many financial obligations, one of our first objectives should be to maintain friendly relations with our creditors. Quite often, when money is scarce, some people are inclined to pay little, or no attention to accounts which they receive from business men with whom they have contracted * debts. This is not honest -- moreover, it is injuring your credit, which at some fu- ture time you may wish to make use of. Just because you cannot pay an account when it becomes due is no reason why you should try to evade payment altogether. If you receive an account and are hard- pressed for funds, the first step is to dis- cuss your problems with the people whom you owe money. They want your friend- ship and your goodwill. They want to re- tain You as a customer--if you're honest. But they can only help you to establish financial security if you take them into your confidence. If you owe money that you are having difficulty in paying, why not discuss your problems with your creditors? They'll be glad to talk it over with you. You'll find it will pay you divi- dends in happiness and contentment. Here are a few suggestions to help keep your credit good: 1. Be honest with the people to whom you owe money. You'll find they appre- ciate it and will show you every consider- ation. 2. Arrange with them to pay off so much every payday, keeping the amount at a figure you are certain you can pay. Then live up to your arrangements. 8. Do not incur new obligations until the old ones are taken care of. 4. Do not buy what you can not afford to pay for. ; 5. Budget your income so that you can meet all your responsibilities and have a little left for emergencies. 6. Do not ignore bills that are overdue. See your creditor and arrange a basis on which you can make regular payments on old accounts. i a -- (Leamington Post and News). Another Reminder Of War Still another reminder that there is a war on has come to a number of Oshawa young men in the last few days, in the form of notices from Ottawa to submit them- selves for medical examination under the compulsory training plan. These young men, all of them 21 years of age, come under the first draft required, if medically fit, to undergo thirty days' military train- ing in designated camps. True, it is not much for the state to ask of them, but it will remind them that as free citizens of a great country it is their duty and privilege to prepare themselves to defend that coun- try should a state of emergency arise. In European countries under dictatorships they would not have a chance to offer their services, but would be regimented under drastic military rules to take up the sword. Thirty days' military training will do these young men good physically, but, best of all, it will give them a new conception of their duty to Canada and the empire in these days when the civilization, which we have embraced for years is at stake. Vigilance To Prevent Sabotage Every once in a while, the trained news- paperman awakens to the fact that there is news in the fact that there is no news. For example, it took the tremendous ex- plosion at the Hercules Powder Plant in New Jersey, U.S.A, to remind Canadians that in spite of a year at war, sabotage in this country has been negligible thus far. Even as the Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice were so efficient in rounding up enemy aliens and unrooting subversive groups in Canada, they may also deserve a great deal of credit for the significant lack of dam- age to essential war services in the coun- try. The explosion in New Jersey, however, is a reminder that sabotage is always pos- sible, and may become more so if the Axis powers should suffer a reverse. We can- not pin our hopes on the record of the past. There must be eternal vigilance. ds | Editorial Notes | rs ge We have heard much about the "new order" Hitler and Mussolini are bringing to Europe. Mostly "disorder," in our es- timation. Perhaps, says the Ottawa Journal, Mus- solini is being careful of his warships so that one fine day he can hand them over intact to the British. Payrolls in Oshawa's industries so far in September show the largest number of persons employed in any previous period, we are told. The smaller number on relief rolls bears this out. Canadians who contributed to the funds of the Red Cross must be gratified to know that the dollars they gave are now being distributed in London in the form of blan- kets, clothing and food to the homeless victims of German air raids. 2 No heat can be turned on in Berlin until October 15, a month later than usual, and the consumption of coal this winter will be cut 50 per cent. The German people are awakening to the fact that their Fuehrer isn't so hot after all. The interruption in the power service on Tuesday brings forcibly to our attention the everyday dependence we put on things once classed as a luxury, but now an abso- lute necessity. - This public utility has be- come a servant of mankind in the home, the office, the small workshop and the large factory. It has become part and parcel of our national life whether we real- ize it or not. For that reason we urge the importance of taking all steps possible to avoid interruption in the continuity and efficiency of the service.
