Rev. Cunon Malone

Stating that it was his duty toj impress upon his hearers the relig- ious aspect of sup riing the Victory Loan. Canon Ma one declared that it could be well summed up in the one word, Sacrifice.

"You all knovr," he said. "that if the Empire fails to achieve victory in this conflict it will mean not. only slavery for us. but the suppression of those religious principles which, as Christians, we have sworn to uphold.

“Men and women will undergo untold sacrifices for the things they hold dear; if therefore our Chris- tian fnlth is really as precious to us as we declare it to be. then there should be no limit to the sac- rifices we will make to provide those who are fighting in a rihteous cause with the weapons of vctory.

Let no one say: ‘I cannot affard to do so.‘ The story is told of a. pious Quaker who kept a. clothin store. A customer looked at a. sui and asked the price. l-le thought it too expensive and offered the mer- chant less. ‘As I live.’ said the Quaker, ‘I cannot afford to sell it ill. that melee.’ The customer replied, ‘If vou would live on less you could afford it.’ ‘Friend.’ said the Quaker, ‘thou hast. taught me a. valuable lesson. Thou mayest have the suit tor nothing,‘

"We cannot afford to help efforts that. are most worth while, if we are not willing to make sacrifices. We. who are Christians must he ready to sacrifice much for the sake of the things we treasure. God grant to the people of this country o, spirit of sacrifice which will stop at nothing to make this Vic- tory Loan a success. It ts our Chris- tian duty."

Rev. Captain McCardla

"Once again Canada has lsued o call to arms to aid her in a str gin against the enemy of our Chris inn civilization," said the next speaker. Capt. the Rev. W. McCardle.

Worship. Mayor Holman.

“The necessity for the Victory loan and the purposes to which it will be put have been well explained by the distinguished spmkers who preceded me, but, perhaps 1 may be permitted to say a few words which may possibly add emphasis to what has gone before.

"This Victory Loan will be by far the greatest financial {fort our Dominion his ever been called upon to make, but there tls no doubt that if we each play our part, from one end of Canada to the other, our goal can be achieved.

"How this Lioan will be expend- ed is apparent to all, for as you know, we must have planes, thou- sands of them, not only to train our Plots, but to equip future squadrons trained in these lands.

“We must train Airmen and pro- vide the Flying Fields to train [Item on. This means 100 Airports simi- lar to or larger than those at Charlottetown and Summerside.

“Vi/e must have Bombers, mighty, offensive weapons of the air. These must be speedier and better in ev- erv respect than those of our ene- mes.

"We must provide merchant ships to carry the grain from the West and the products of our farms to klnsmen and our soldiers largely depend upon us for the necessaries of

"We must have destroyers to pro- tect our convoys across the Atlan- tic; corvettes and patrol boats to keep constant vigil alum our thousands of miles of Coastline.

“We must train sailors to man our ever increasing Naval Forces and provide money to mflintain them and the hundreds of thoii- sands of men who will serve in the Army. Navy and Air Force and to 100k after the dependents of those men.

"The magtftude of the task be- fore us cannot be denied. but the strenotli of Canada is such that we can wrhout question see it through to victory.

Even the weather man contri- buted towards giving the i941 vio- tory Loan a good send off yester- day. for a more perfect June day could not be imagined bearing out the old saying. "What is so rare as a day in June." In every corner of every village and hamlet 1n the sun kissed Garden of the Gulf, victory Loan activities were in evidence as canvassers got reiuw to make their moves and in the larger centres of Charlottetown and Summerside great concourse; of Deﬂble turned out to witness the parades. listen to the speeches, the

and music and singing. Seldom if ever have more impressive cere- monies contributed to the launch- inggof any project in this cam- pa n

At Charlottetown, at 10.30 in the momlng Major James Walker of Charlottetown Royalty, answering to three score years and ten. and more. but still strong and snot and bearing evidence of long mill- tary training. arrived at Provin- cial Loan Headquarters to pur- chase the first bond in the Provin- clal 1941 Wai- Loan campaign. Ho was known to nearly everybody in the room who were busy getting out advertising material and de- corations; drop ing their work they crowded aroun him shaking his hand and told him how much they itallr appreciated his patriotic ges-

Mimy had known him when as a stalwart policeman he did staunch work in keeping down crime and making this city a gogd place to live in. some he h d guided over rough or all pery streets in their school clays t ere- by preventing accidents and al- most everyone had some tale to tell bearing in eulogy to his prowess ace.

For that reason we are going to give in brief his military history.
