All Eastern Star members are invited. , Sams Valley Ladies Club To Meat Thursday" Sams Valley Ladies club will meet Thursday at the home of Mrs. Peter Burreson rather than he Peffley home as previously announced. All ladles are in' vited. Eye to Eye AND Shoulder to Shoulder FOR simple duty done, the American Legion recently presented this Company with a citation. It came because Stand ard bad sincerely applauded the Legion's varied contribution to community life. And the Legion said "Thanks.' The Legion's objectives are to be a good soldier in war . . . in peace a good citizen. These, too, can be the ideals of cor poration. t All may see today that when war-clouds lower we oil people must spring to active duty in field nd refinery. As a good soldier, Standard now is help ing keep the tanks rolling . . . the trucks and trains moving . . the planes flying. Less obvious are Standard's more peaceful activities as a good citizen . . . fair pay and treatment for our own people that they may truly enjoy their American birth-rights . . . sup port for organizations like the Boy Scouts, Red Cross U.S.O Community Chests, Legion -all dedicated to the common good. . Such business of trying to live right is no more than should be expected of every American institution. That makes it the pleasanter to be picked for a formal "Well done" from the Legion at once the public and the core of America. Maybe we're a bit un certain as to what a cockle is. But, brother, this warms the cockles of our heart. THURSDAY, 1-9 P.M. ni'h wfEKir 5TANDAIO SYMPHONY Pirr Montana. Conduct)!!

Glimpse of War Is Given by C. (Editor's note: The following impressions of war-time Canada were written by C. W. Kirkpatrick. son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Kirkpatrick. of 713 East Jackson street, Medford. C. W. Kirk patrick, whose home is in Modesto. Calif., Is making a vacation tour of Canada and the eastern portion of the United States). As we crossed the Ambassador bridge from Detroit to Windsor, Canada, we noticed the British flags flying at half-mast in ob servance of Armistice day Re membrance day to the Cana dians. A large billboard noti fied American tourists that they were welcomed to "Wartime Canada." If anything, the wel come was more cordial than in peacetime because as the "Good Neighbor" pamphlet frankly ex plains, "the tourist trade is one of Canada's . most important sources of United States funds which she needs to purchase es sential supplies in the United States. When you vacation in Canada you are contributing to the cause of freedom-loving peoples." Routine questions and customs Inspection was no more detailed than in peacetime. No warning concerning conduct of tourists Is given excepting with regard to cameras. As would be ex pected, photographing of mili tary zones is prohibited. . There is nothing to character ize the country as belligerent ex cept the patriotic posters, ban ners and other war publicity and the men in uniform. The vast majority of a total of approxi mately 750,000 men in the serv ice are volunteers. Over 100, 000 have volunteered since May of this year. These figures are more Im pressive when we remember that Canada s total population is about the same as that of the state of New York. . Conscription is enforced with in the age limits 21-24 inclusive. Tfie conscript may volunteer for active service (willingness to be sent overseas.) At least 73 per cent of them do so. . . . The soldier's pay is $1.30 per day. . In addition he receives board, lodging, clothing, medical and dental care. If he is mar ried hi wife receives $33 per month and $12 is allowed for each child if there are no more than two. No additional amount is allowed for additional . chil dren. Also $20 of the sol dier's monthly wages is sent to his wife. Hence, a wife with two. children will receive $79 per month from the government as long as her husband is In the service. Despite the fact that so many have volunteered, the gov ernment is now seriously con sidering conscription of all male citizens up to 40 or 43 years of age. As we expected, the victory V' were in prominence every where, a wide variety of patri otic appeals and various war pro paganda slogans greet the citi zenry in almost every store win dow, on billboards, car windows and the like. Most prominent of all poster and billboard appeals solicits in vestment In war savings certi ficates in order to assist in the "War Weapons Drive." On the humorous side Is the pennant with the illustration of the Eng lish bulldog in full pursuit of Hitler. In the dog's mouth we see a small bit of Mr. Hitler's trousers and small portion of his posterior extremity Is bared. The caption is: "The End Is in Sight." In order to meet the unusual wartime expenses, each worker is assessed six per cent of his salary for war tax and eight per cent for defense tax. He also pays income tax assessed against his nominal salary before afore mentioned tax deductions are ef fected. This latter assessment elicited the only complaint we heard concerning the wartime taxation set up. It will readily be seen what the sum total of all these taxes does to anybody's in come. On the other hand, there is no federal sales tax. There was no provincial tax in On tario, the only part of Canada through which we traveled, but we were informed that some of the other provinces had adopted the sales tax. So far as we could ascertain, , there seemed to be unanimous approval of the government's re cent action in creating price control board to limit retail price increases beyond "what 1 abso lutely necessary." We were told that the official estimate of the increase In the cost of living since the beginning of the war Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On Creomulslon relieve promptly be mum it matt right to the seat of the trouble to help loown and expel 1 term laden phloem, ana aia nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, In flamed bronchial mucous mem branes.

CREOMULSION ,or Cou(fif, Chtif Colds, Irondiitii - Time Canada W. Kirkpatrick was six per cent. This. figure surprised us as we had assumed the increases would be greater than in the United States where the cost of living has risen about 10 per cent if our memory fails not. All commodities seemed to be plentiful and we heard no re ports of curtailing of consump tion and manufacture of domes tie goods due to needs of war industries. The exception to this rule Is gasoline. Due to the lack of transport tankers (now in .the service of England) the supply of gasoline is not deemed adequate to meet domestic needs. Consequently, service stations are only open from 7 to 7. Since there is no limit on the amount that can be purchased, however, it can be assumed that the shortage is not yet critical., i So far as we could see. the i people are accepting their lot i cheerfully, realizing how much ! worse It could be were it not for their fortunate fieoerarjhle position. They appreciate the assistance the United States is giving the allies. They seem to have the , highest . regard for American people in general and for President Roosevelt in par ticular. The American flag is often displayed alongside the British and Canadian. One of the most popular window cards features the photographs of Mr. Churchill and Mr. Roosevelt. One of the recruiting officers remarked that some of the peo ple had not yet awakened to the gravity of the situation. He suggested that If the nazis could arrange to drop some bombs close to them there would be a quick and drastic change in their attitude. However, he stressed the fact that, although , some were not as enthusiastic as thev should be, the people were 100 per cent behind the effort of the government to do the utmost to assist the mother country.
