Yesterday saw possibly the world's greatest bombing raid. The voice of doom for the Germans spoke with Jouu voice in the morning and with still louder voice in the afternoon. It will speak again tomorrow and will call to Hitler that his time is short. Even if he wins from Russia he will be so weakened that he will be easy prey for the British, the Free Frenchmen, .the Polish forces, the Free Scandinavians, and the other free forces of the world. Every day the bombing will increase and Germany will be smashed. That is the voice of doom. Prospective builders are continuing to buy city lots at low prices in order that they may build homes for themselves or to rent to those who need them Mostly they are tliat the people 6f the' whole' whole' district district ar are AiAn doing the thi same' ' for their own homes. This is something to be encouraged, j We hope the number of lots- disposed of in this way will' double each month. ' ' Position Of Finland Judging from all the information at hand the reason why Finland is being bombed by Russia is because she is giving shelter to a large number of German troops. We have no particular love for Russia or the Russian people. We were glad to see a stubborn resistance recently put up by "Dear Little Debt-Paying Finland" as she was affectionately termed bv manv oeoDle in the TTnitpd Stntps ia iiuw suiiering oecause ot that lack of judgment. We are not blaming him but. are sorry that he was deceived. He will know better in- future, N6W he is fighting for his hfe.and we as a nation are pledged to help him and that we shall do We can do that bestty pressing the War in our own fields such as North Africa, Syria and in the Mediterranean. Also by carrying the war into Germany. Wfteri to Wrttt Reliable, Comfbrtabter Dependable Service.

Fight For Freedom - - - There are many fine German people. We have many Of them in Canada. Some of them- are fighting for the British, The people we are fighting against are those who would enslave the rest ot the world. We do- not like the form of government thev have in Russia. We dislike all dictatorships. Especially we dislike the form of communism with which we have had experience in this country and the dirty, underhand way in which it operates. We dislike any person or group of persons that takes, order from any power outside this country. We- think that strict non-interference should be insisted on in every case. We are now old enough to manage our own affairs but we are glad to get the help of Britain or any other free nation but riot the scum of any nation. We hate, to see' oppression in this or any other ttMSiiXr'' keep our f'ree,lom The War In Russia- It is tod early yet to suggest what is likely to be the outcome of the great war in Russia. Hitler is dofoy most of the bragging, and that looks bad. He is trying to do what Napoleon failed to-do and may or may not succeed. We hope he will not, chiefly because the harder the fight put URby Stalin the easier it will be for the British to des- wuy iiiuer. ine iacu mat stann double-crossed us is a sign of weakness on his part.
