As the various Victory Loan campaigns approached during the war years, about the first question a citizen asked was, "what is the objective this time?" Since money was needed to win the war and to take care of our men and women in uniform, the money objective in each campaign became a challenge to Canadian people. Naturally, when the new issue of Canada Savings Bonds was announced, men and women promptly asked, "What is the objective this time?' And as they got the answer, "There is no money objective," they were momentarily puzzled. A sale of bonds without a goal to aim at just didn't seem fit- ting and wasn't easy to understand. It is literally true that no prescribed sum of dollars is sought during the sale of Canada Savings Bonds which opens on October 156. This sale was not prompted by a desire to fill up the money bags of the Government treasury, It is being launched to meet the keen desire of thousands of Canadians to continue their program of regular savings in- augurated by the Victory Loan and War Savings Certificates campaigns during the war years, However, there is an objective associated with the ap- proaching sale of bonds in all provinces of Canada that all citizens shall have an opportunity to buy bonds. That is _ why the story of the canvass of the new Canada Savings Bonds is being so widely told, and why investment dealers and the banks are setting up facilities which will enable citizens to buy, no matter where they may be located. Put another way, each Canadian sets up his own ob- Jective this time. Canada Savings Bonds have been created to help a man help himself. Examination Results A recent survey by the Department of Education showed that the over-all score of the 10 Toronto collegiates in all matriculation subjects was 86 per cent as compared with'an average across the province in 1944 of 86.01 per cent. These results have removed some misunderstandings in our own mind as we always considered that the many amusements and diversions offered by the larger cities had a 'tendency to lower the scholastic standards of their pupils, It should be remembered, however, that large city schools are in a financial position to acquire better equipment and staff as it is the ambition of many teachers to move from the smaller centres. The fact that pupils outside Toronto have been able to make as good a showing as their metropolitan neighbors is a feather in their caps. It also speaks well for the admini- stration of the Boards of Education that they have been able to secure teachers of equal ability. The results would also seem to indicate that there is no premium upon any section of the province in so far as education is concerned, One frequently reads in newspapers and magazine articles of the success stories of business tycoons and mer- chant princes who had their start in life in the rural com- munities oi Ontario. The Department's survey would seem to indicate that academic ability is not confined to the large centres and that the country boy can still make his mark in the business world. Controversial Question At its recent convention in Windsor the Ontario Pro- vinclal Command Ladies Auxiliaries of the Canadian Legion approved a resolution calling for the ousting of married women from jobs which might be given to ex-service per- sonnel. The text of the resolution was as follows: "That all employers of labor, including' the Dominion vernment, all Provincial governments and municipal ernments of all kinds, be urged to make an immediate ey of positions held by married women, pensionable and orary personnel, and replace them with ex-service per- ll of the armed forces, unless there be extenuating tances." ould be interesting to know whether the convention the question from the angle of individual ability la number of married women who took jobs during i who have shown such marked ability that their puld be ill advised to dispense with their services. is built upon the efficiency of its staff.
