M Wuily m m; Ontarieâ€" â€" Patriotic people would be less than human if they ‘did not thrill with pride at the notable work being done on all the fronts of war by all the several Allied armies., The Huns who boasted of their lightning war are being shown that the varâ€" jous Allied armies have a speed and efficiency never matched by the Nazis at their best. While there: should be pride in the competence and value of the several Allied armits, it would at this .particular moment to give special thought to one army that today is serving nobly and well on all fronts, mcluding the home tront That«»special army is ‘the Salvation Army, the aative friend "of the soldier, the sailor and the airmefi..v '_tr home and overseas, and the guide and hefpen Ot alliin need.: Ask any active Salvation Anmy ‘enthusiast (and all Salvation Army people appéfii' to be enthusiasts)) where the Salvation Army‘ is ready and able and willing to serve, and the answer will be "Wherever there is need, or poverty, or want, or the call for friendship and cheer." «The aid of the Salvation Army to all on active service is proverbial. Soldiers and Sailors and Airmen never to tire of singing the Timmins, Ontario, Thursiiay Sept. 7th, 1944 vation ,Army appears to be always on the spot to help, to cheer, to bless the men on active service. Overseas the.Salvation Army carries on work on so great a scale and on so many fronts, that there is romance and glamour. The work of the Salâ€" vation Army on the home front is equally worthy of consideration. It seems to be always efficient and able, always kindly and helpful, Much of the home front work of the Salvation Army is usually h.idden from the public eye. Too often it is ?ta:ken for granted.: Homes, hospitals, jails, prisons are visited and the word of hope and cheer -"» There are special departments that care _,;;women the children, the aged, and for the forgetten the neglected and the sad at heart. During the ‘present war, the Salvation Army has proven itself a mighty force as a builder of mprale. as a friendly ‘agency Tor* social *benefit© Work like that of the Salvation Army ‘ deserves the strongest support. Indeed, clearâ€"thinking people will feel it is a privilege to help along such work as that of the Salvation Army. The opportunity is here and now. From Sept. 18th to 30th, there will be the Salvation Army Red Shield Home Front appeal for funds to carry on the good work on the Home Front. The work so well done by the Salvation Army for those on service overseas is practically financed by the Government, so imâ€" portant and so valuable is it considered by those in authority. For the Home Front work there is necessity for general appeal to the people. The set for Canada is one million dollars. None should fail to play a full part in reaching this objective, Give the Salvation Army a million dollars for the Home Front, and the kindly, cheerâ€" ful, eamest people who make up this army, will give ten million dollars of genuine service. There is a tendency on the part of many to be too optimistic in regard to an early end of the war. To those who quote the«swords of great generals and other leaders that "the end of the war is in sight," it is well to reply. "Even if the end of the war is in sight it is not well to be too shortsighted." It is perfectly true that the enemy is on the run and that retreat at any moment may turn into panic The character of the enemy upholds the theory that the Nazis can not stand punishment. There is the probablitity of a sudden collapse any day, as occurred in the past war. But granting all this, does not mean that victory for the Allied cause has arrived. With the savage Hun subdued, there is still the Japanese to conquer. Whatever may be the faults of the Japanese, they have never showed themselves as quitters. The Japanese will need to be battered into submission.

The Chinese apprecâ€" jlate the Japanese for what they really are, and so China is peculiarly adapted to deal fully with the enemy in the East. Time and money and lives would be saved by giving the Chinese the ‘| opportunity to clear the Eastern atmosphere of the Japanese pest. In regard to the third reason for the merited support of all, reference may well be made to the design and purpose of the Welfare Federation. _The organization was designed chiefly to reduce the number of individual tag days and other apâ€" peals for funds. The interest and convenience of the public was the consideration. Tag days ‘were so frequent as to be viewed as a nuisance by many, while the very number of such appeals reduced to a minimum the returns for any single cause. It was hoped‘ that by combining a number of appeals there would be enough realized by one big event to carry the needs of all individual units in the organization. If the public desire a TrEâ€" duction ofâ€" the number of appeals, the Welfare Federation plan might be expected to be successful. Those who would reduce the number of appeals can only make their dreams come true by supportâ€" But, even with Germany and Japan defeated and subdued, the war is not yet won. The unâ€" conditional surrender of all the enemy forces would not really end the war. There would still remain much to be done before genuine victory could be claimed. There is chaos in Europe today Order must be restored. The organizations that foster evil and aggression must be destroyed. The nations must be rebuilt. .Any slackening of effort will mean the delay of actual victory. It will take the armies of the Allies several months to revive and rebuild the shattered nations overâ€"run by the Nazis. When the enemy collapses, it will not be possible to simply celebrate the uncondiâ€" tional surrender, and let all the troops hurry back home. If an orderly and better world is to result from the present turmoil there will be need for much more "fighting‘" before the war truly ends. The end of the war may be in sight, but the hor- izon is by no means within touching distance. i 3 055 wl i 5i This is the week of the carnival of the Timmins Welfare Federation. The event fully deserves the support of all for three definite reagons. The reason that may go first is the fact that the event itself is well worthy of patronage as an entertainment of interest and merit. The second. reason is that success for the carnival means additional needed funds for nine worthy organizations. The third reason is that benefit for the public is offered by the plan attempted by the Timmins Welfare Federation. P _ The organizations comprising the Timmins We!â€" fare Federation include the Bomb Victims Fund, the C. W. L., the Ladies of the French Federation, La Lique Feminen Catholic, the Women‘s Institute, the Ladies of the Moose, the British Isles Victory Club, Russian Canadians, and the Czechoâ€"Slovak National Alliance. Any one of these organizations performs a very useful purpose and should be encouraged. Still stands the motto of the King: ‘"Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve en. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads neld high and with God‘s help we shall:not fail." ing the plan A press despatch some days ago said that the Allies had captured Reims. Well, anyway, all must admit that before it happened like that, someâ€" body, must have knocked the‘ h â€" â€" â€" out of "Rheims." Hitler may be "shaking in his boots," but some Timmins people were openly shaking in their bare feet, early Tuesday morning. There are a large number of Quakers in every centre at which an earthquake calls.
