Eye to Eye
AND 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.

JAMES ELLIOTT
James Elliott, popular high

of the Crater Skaters, new fig

president, announced today.
Elliott was named following
decision of the club to have one
member on the board from the
Junior members of the club.
The turnout for the figure
skating club session at the Arena
yesterday morning was much
larger than the first week's ses
sion, Butler said. The session
was devoted to figure skating
practice.

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

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.
