Several times tltirlnz the past two nronlhs letters have been put in the paper discribing the brogie s of the Spitfire Fund in our province.

Up to date we have done very well, but there is much more that we can do in the future. Con- tributions to this fund will be re- ceived until the end of June. The reason for prolonguig the tune was that many provinces were late get- ting organized, and it was felt that. in order" to make the campaign a StlCCuss~ the time limit would have to be extended.

Noun if ever, is the time to vindicate that tradition. For the structure of peace can be erect.- ed only on the foundation of char- acter. If we allow the children in our care to grow up myopic in vis- ion, intellectually dishonest, and morally inoculate, we bet-ray our trust. What; then should we do? There are no set rules for the train- ing of character, but only guiding

He is gentle, calm, gravely court- eous, and by no means lacking in humor. He has been called the ‘saintllest.’ character in British pub- 11c life. He ls a very devout church- msn.
