The Commando Ajax Ontario August 5, 1942 Volume 1 No. 3 Lets get Acquainted (column 1 Pictures from top to Bottom) (Top Picture) Irene Lovelock, Time Office employee, is fond of dancing and sailing. She lives in Oshawa while her best beau is overseas with the Army. James McDermott, painter, married and the father of three children, lives in Toronto. He hopes to move to Ajax, however. James Wright, self-styled oldest employee of the Construction Department, is a grandfather — six times! His interests are his home and family. (Bottom Picture) Genial Jim Samson (another James?) is well known as the Recreational Director. An expert, he is on loan to the Company from the Y.M.C.A."Each to our part, each to our station." Like the blast of a trumpet echoing and re-echoing throughout the Empire, the summons of the British Prime Minister has thrilled and found a ready response in the hearts of all patriotic partisans in our just cause. From the far places of the Empire, from the fields, the mines and the cities, has sprung a mighty host to the defence of all we hold dear. Their participation has been manifested in scores of ways. We have had our imaginations excited by the exploits of our soldiers, we have thrilled at the daring of our airmen, and we have admired the courage of those serving on the submarine infested sea lanes; but, there is another phase to this war of idealogies, this struggle to the death of different ways of life, which has been no less dramatic or marvellous. It's the part played by the great industrial army serving with honour on the home front. It's the spirit and determination of the worker on the assembly line, the man at the machine, and the girl on the shell-filling line, who are inspired by the proud knowledge that theirs is a vital contribution to the war effort of the embattled democracies. A vital contribution it surely is—and a grave responsibility; a responsibility that cannot be shirked even for a moment. The Department of Munitions and Supply, citing the heartening facts relevant to Canada's production of war materials, describes the efforts of those who have assumed that responsibility as "the story of an achievement in which every Canadian, no matter how humble or how high his station in life, may well be proud to have played a part. It is the story of a race against time, of the unloosing of billions of dollars, of the creation of vast new industries and the construction of acres of factory space, of the steady stream which funnels into war plants as raw materials . . . and comes out again as ships and tanks, planes and guns, ammunition and explosives, for shipment to the battle fronts in far and strange corners of the earth." To quote Mr. Churchill again, "This is no war of chieftains or of princes, of dynasties or national ambition; it is a war of peoples and of causes." We are the people! Although our uniform is the factory coverall, let us continue to prove ourselves worthy comrades-at-arms of those in the uniform of the armed forces. (Quote Middle) "Come then: let us to the task, to the battle, to the toil— each to our fart, each to our station. Fill the armies, rule the air, POUR OUT THE MUNITIONS, strangle the U-boats, sweep the mines, plough the land, build the ships, guard the streets, succour the wounded, uplift the downcast, and honour the brave. Let us go forward together in all parts of the Empire, in all parts of the Island. THERE IS NOT A WEEK, NOR A DAY, NOR AN HOUR TO LOSE." Winston Churchill, Jan. 27, 1940.
