Oshawa Win-the-War and Community Fund. The Canadian Red Cross Society is ask- ing at this time for a total of five million dollars. from the citizens of Canada and this money is urgently needed at this time for the following reasons: . 1. At the request of the British Red Cross it has undertaken to provide from Can- ada 5,000 foodstuff parcels each week for British prisoners of war in Germany. This is certain to be increased. Cana- dians can thus help lessen the strain on Britain's food supplies. . At the suggestion of the Canadian Gov- ernment, the Canadian Red Cross will provide, equip and co-operate in main- taining a number of convalescent hospi- tals in various parts of Canada for use by Canadian soldiers, here and from overseas, who are sick or wounded. . . The Canadian Red Cross will aid in the supply of clothing and other necessities to the more than 100,000 evacuee chil- dren in Britain and the 100,000 refugees from invaded countries who have sought shelter and protection under the Union Jack. Many articles of relief clothing have been supplied, but another half million articles will be needed from Cana- dian Red Cross workrooms. . The Canadian Red Cross is sending in- creased supplies for the alleviation of civilian suffering caused by enemy bombing of Britain. . As Canada's own armed forces grow, on land, on sea and in the air, the need for Red Cross services increases. . The Red Cross must be READY AND FULLY EQUIPPED to meet any emer- gency at the moment it arises. Later than that is too late. We are sure the citizens of Oshawa will not fail in doing their share for the Cana- dian Red Cross as well as for the other worthy war services and Oshawa charities that will share in the $85,000 fund now being raised: Those who have already given have set a fine example for others. Call Them '"Hollanders"' When you speak of the people of Holland, don't call them "Dutch". The term is even more incorrect than to call all English people "Cockneys" or all Americans "Yank- ees." Also, it hurts a nation which has become a very valuable ally of the Empire. The Hollanders are not submitting tame- ly to the German invasion. When a Ger- man soldier appears in one of the cafes, the native diners get up and walk out in pro- test. When a British plane bombs a Hol- land bridge which the Germans have just rebuilt, the Hollanders cheer--though it is actually their own country that suffers. Netherlands soldiers, Netherlands sailors and Netherlands fliers are fighting, ferry- ing food and raw materials, and operating bombing planes with the British forces. Their aid to the Empire since their country was invaded has been invaluable. But they hate the name "Dutch". It is too much like "Deutsche," a title which Germany has assumed for itself. They do not want to be confused with Germans. So, in future, please don't talk of Hol- landers as "Dutch." Progress Despite Worry No product of the machine age is this word "worry", nor are men of the 20th Century unique. with qualm-knit brows amid a world boiling with conflict and con- fused thinking. Since the dawn of time worry has tormented and plagued mankind, declares James Truslow Adams, noted his- toriam, in a current Rotarian Magazine article, suggesting that we needn't worry about worry, because somehow man has made progress despite it. There is no yardstick to measure worry. But history, biography, memoirs, and lete ters indicate that man today worries more than his ancestors and the ancients, Why? We are softer. And the writer suggests that we no longer accept suffering as the .order of Nature, and that persons on relief today demand things unattainable to the rich a few generations ago. Other factors conducive to worry are an upset of balanced nervous systems through nonuse of centres controlling physical emo= tion and overuse of intellectual nerve centres, fearfulness because we are less self-reliant, unbalance in newspapers and radios playing up the horror angle, and the change of emphasis on values and the lack of self-expression, Carry Your Registration Card The bugbear of the careful housewife, the exacting business men and most people with trained minds is carelessness. With some people carelessness is a habit, with others it is a rarity, and this lack of care can cause trouble, inconvenience and even grief. In the complicated and modern age in which we live today more care is needed if we are to keep out of trouble and even the clutches of the law. For instance-- suppose you forget to carry your registra- tion card and was asked by the. police to show it. You would be subject to some embarrassment, perhaps a fine. These cards were made out for a purpose, an important war-time purpose. There has been only one conviction in Oshawa for failure to have the registration card, but other cities have had several in- stances and in one town half a dozen people reported they had loat their cards and wanted to know what to do about it. It is the responsibility of the holders of the cards-to retain them and carry them at all times. Lost through carelessness they might be picked up and improperly used by fifth columnists. Seems to us they are about as important as a passport and should be so regarded. Canadian officials are as tolerant as possi- ble but people over 16 should have learned some degree of carefulness. If they haven't then it is just too bad if they are brought before the authorities to answer for their carelessness. I Editorial Notes Negotiations between the United States and Canada over the development of St. Lawrence waterway, like the river itself, keep rolling right along. There is in friendship something of all relations and something above them all, It is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all the world.-- (Evelyn) British bomber strength is growing week by week. This is realized with the increas- ing bombings taking place over German occupied territory and over Berlin as well. Berlin papers warn that the Axis powers are to wage an economic War on the de- mocracies after the war. Rather like counting the chickens before they are hatched. The Stratford Beacon-Herald says that Canada's national debt is "growing mighty fast." "But, shucks", comments the To- ronto Star, "it was mighty already. It is growing mightier fast." With a United States 'plane production of several hundred machines a month on British account being added to production in Britain itself and in Canada, it won't be long before the Royal Air Force attains numerical ascendancy over the Germans as it already enjoys fighting ascendancy. It must be gall and wormwood for the Germans to discover that their much- advertised defences are quite powerless to prevent British bombers flying where they will over Germany and dropping their loads wherever they choose. And if the Germans only knew it, their bombing troubles have just begun. The growing demand throughout Canada that secondary governments including the municipalities shall reduce their taxes and their expenditures wherever possible is fully justified. Rvery dollar collected by these governments to meet unnecessary ex- penditures is one dollar less available for the all-important prosecution of the nation- al war effort.
