While taking up carrots in her garden the other day, Mrs. Quentin Markle, Chesterfleld Chronicle correspondent, came upon a carrot which formed a perfect letter "V". Optimism is being reflected even in Canadian musical circles, according to W. St. Clair Low, Toronto publisher. "A year ago," he states, "while London was being severely bombed, the popular song in Canada was "Till the Lights of London Shine Again." Now Canadians are playing and singing "It‘s V for Victory", a timely song inspired by the V for Victory campaign." And Now, Vegetables! Even Mother Nature is taking an active part in the "V for Victory" campaign. In the Floradale district, a farmer was picking apples in his orchard when he found an apple with a distinct, raised "V" on one side. and the stiff resistance of the Soviet forces are among the causes for the increasing confidence.
