EDITORIAL NOTES A flag is an emblem of nationality. 7he Union Jack flying in the breeze is an emblem of our relationship with the British Isles and our membership in the British Commonwealth of Na- tions, a fact that we our all proud to acknowledge. There is. however, no better way to acknowledge our loyal- ty to Brtiain and the Empire than by flying this emblem on all occasions, and more eapecially while this country is at war. In the past few years sentiment has been against flag wav- ing, no doubt through partisan reas- ons, and the absence of flags in this country has been noted on many occa- sions by foreign visitors. The time has now arrived when every home in Canada should have a flag waving and calling attention to the loyalty "It's only an old piece of bunting, It's only an old colored rag; Yet thousands have died for its honor And shed their beat blood for the flag;." That has been a fact for a hundred years and today our men are ready to do the same thing again, believing that right is might. So again, let us fly the flag of might. • • • • A modified conscription decree has been 'naugurated by the Dominion Parliament for the defence of Can- ada and the calling up of the first members of this force will shortly be made. The government intends to teach the rudiments of soldiering to all men between the ages of 18 and 45 years, but these will be called up in certain grades, the first to be single men. These men will not be called for active duty outside Canada, only those who volunteer will be used for overseas service. We hope this will bring the necessary volunteers, but we are of the opinion that ultimately conscription in Canada will be for service outside the Dominion, as trained men will be needed, when the implements of war are numerous enough for their effective participa- tion in hostilities. • • » • Thousands of Canadian homes have 'been opened to young refugees from England, who will escape the ravages of war and so prevent their innocent lives being taken on the altar of sacrifice. They will be safe in this country and when the war is won they will be able to return to their own land safe and sound. Already many hundreds of the more fortunate classes have arrived in Canada, but there remain millions of children whose parents have not the means of sending their children to a safe haven i»f refuge. It is that class which the people of Canada desire to help, but their removal is a problem that is the business of the governments of Can- ada and Great Britain and which we hope will be solved shortly and that the underprivileged children will also find a ssife haven in Canada. VICTORIA CORNERS VANDELEUR German System Not Wanted By Canadiahs (By An Ex-Princess Pat) We read of the war in Europe and it seems far away. The British Navy will always protect us, and anyway Hitler's Birdhuns could get across te Atlantic to do any damage, and if things did really get serious here, why our good neighbour to the south would certainly not let any foreign power hurt us. "No, it can never happen to us." Let's turn over and snooze again. When we wake up Great Britain will have single-handed driven the Swinish Hun back to its own lair, and everything will be all rosy again. Please don't talk about the awful war, it upsets us so. Lets keep on living our soft and protected lives, but please don't disturb our slumbers by trying to arouse us about something that is happening many thousand miles away." If we don't want any of the follow- ing to happen to us in Canada, we will have to change our soft ways of liv- ing and get busy this very day to get ready to defend ourselves and our own people. Here are a few things that will happen to us here in Canada should the Basche be successful in his war on Britain. First, everyone would be reg- imented and forced to work for the state, no freedom, no initiative, you would be doled out a mere existence in return for your forced labour. You would have no freedom in your work, in your pleasure, or in your worship. You could listen to only Hun spon- .sored broadcasts, you couldn't farm your own farm; in other words there would be no freedom at all, every- thing for the state, and the individ- ual only looked upon as cannon fodder Every woman and girl of child bear- ing age, would be compelled to raise children for the state, and if this were not done legitimately and apparent- ly willingly, then some blonde-haived Swinish Hun would forcibly become the father of your sister's or your sweetheart's children, to be raised as puppets of the state overrun by the dastardly Bosche up to now and Can- ada would be no exemption. Do you want this to happen in Canada? Better be under the sod after taking toll in good measure of the foul Huns and our friends with us, than to exist under the heel of the soul destroying berbafians who .consider individual rir»«Hlom as something not fit for hu- man beings. Let's get ourselves licked into fighting trim. It isn't too late yet, but lose no time. Can- adians took second place to none in the field in 1914-18, and it can be done again. Let's wake up and stay awake. * P Eight year old Elden Atkinson of Berkeley, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Carl Atkinson (nee Ella Best) had the misfortune to break hs right ivni, just prior to examinations. However, he would not stay home from school, and although he had never written with his left hand before, he started and passed his exams with 82 per cent. Such perseverence should win him a place in this world. Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Gallagher spent the week end at Shelburne.

After opening vdth the hymn "Nearer My God to Thee," Mr. Patterson led in prayer and the minutes read, the business was con- ducted discussing of making quilts for the Red Cross. The beautiful autograph quilt, which was made to raise funds for the cemetery's care, was sold to Mrs. Walter Allen of To- ronto, who is donating it to her niece, Anna Maude Acheson, so the quilt will stay in one of the pioneer fam- ilies. Roll call was answered iby very timely canning hints. The program committee, composed of Gertrude Montgomery and Marjory Stevens, took charge. Delia Bannon read the Scripture, and a violin solo was given by Florence Batchelor, accompanied by Gertrude Montgomery. The topic, a most excellent description of the 23rd Psalm, was given by Mrs. Patter- son, our minister's wife. A reading of garden poetry was given by Mrs. Walter Acheson and a duet rendered by Mrs. Elmo Stevens and Marjory. The meeting closed with a hymn, collection and the benediction. Miss Delia Bannon of Dundalk is holidaying with her friend, Gertrude Montgomery. Those who celebrated the Glorious Twelfth mostly went to Thornbury.

Canada to Supply Army with Universal Carriers ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL There was an old saying "asleep at the switch", but the more modern phrase is "asleep at the wheel" and it means just that. In the days gone by when a lad courted a girl or wheii a person was returning home late at night, old Dobbin would get his pass- enger home in a safe manner. Not so today. The use of the auto has changed all that, and now when a person falls asleep on the way home, instead of being taken care of by horse sense, he finds himself in the ditch or over the fence. It docs not pay to fall asleep in a car, hut which appears to be on the increase. It is a Imd type of accident as it givos an ap|iroarhng oar no chance snd very often tjie siropor is badly injured. When one becomes overcome by ilrouiiitipssi the thing to do is to stop the car and have a rest. A slow trip homo Is bettor than n fast trip to the hospital.
