The Commando Ajax Ontario September 28, 1942 Volume 1 No. 5 Photograph by Pasquale D'Angelo, Toronto. ANNE FERGUSON, PRACTICAL PATRIOT This is a salute to Anne Ferguson, a practical patriot, who works in the Luting Room down on Line No. 1. It's dedicated, though, to all the Anne Fergusons, all the practical patriots, who are found wherever a job for the common good has to be done. They're everywhere. You see them driving army trucks, collecting salvage, doing Red Cross work; but, you see them best on the production lines of the nation's war plants. Quiet folk, most of them, they don't have much to say about why they're there. Sure, some of them need the job, but that's not the only reason. Many of them gave up quite a bit to do what they're doing today; but, they aren't the kind of people who tag their reason with a name. They don't talk about Patriotism . . . Belief in a Cause . . . about fighting for a Way of Life. They do something about it! Who are they? They are the women who are no longer young. They are the mothers and housewives who have rallied to the country's cause and are doing the best they can to speed the day of Victory.Take Anne Ferguson, for example. A housewife and the mother of six school-age children, Mrs. Ferguson, who is in her forties now, travels about fifty miles every day to and from her job on Line No. 1. That means an early start for her and a long day. She doesn't neglect her home or family to do it, either. With the help of her fifteen year old daughter, Theresa, she still takes the same care of their needs, still does her own preserving; is, as a matter of fact, still very much the homemaker. Why does she, a woman who never worked in her married life before, do it? Isn't she doing enough in sewing one night a week for the Red Cross, as she does, and in buying War Savings Certificates and Victory Bonds, as she and her husband are doing? She didn't think so. Could she be of greater help, she wanted to know. Her husband, a veteran of the last war, didn't know; but, she could find out, and, if she could be, well . . . Anne Ferguson is down on Line No. 1 now; one of this war's Practical Patriots. MATERIAL APPEARING IN THIS PUBLICATION MUST NOT BE REPRINTED WITHOUT PERMISSION
