In the midst of war and rumors of war it provides a diversion for most of us to think about little things so let us do what thousands of Londoners seem to have been! doin during the past few days and think about sweets-candies if you prefer that word. Not many weeks ago the ministry of food in Britain announced that candies would be rationed a total of halfa-pound in a given four weeks. For a long time past there had been a shortage of cdndies in Britain. The small "sweet-shop" characteristic ' of London and especially beloved of its children, suffered most The confectionery departments of the big places and the chain stores suffered least. j Whatever the real reason for inequality may hav' been, many of the smaller shops have for months past ! been genuinely devoid or at least very short of stock and many a small Londoner) hopefully tendering a pennv or, two for some acid drops or brandy-balls has been disappointed and gone sadly and empty away. In almost every place, however, large and small, shortage of supply hasj been pleaded. . NOW, whatever the game was, if there was one, the! ministry of food, has disorganised it that ministry, by! the way, being much the most astute, not to say artful of the ministries which come in contact with the public 1 1 11 1 1.1? 1 1 1 1 A- fx ! ?A -t- A anu inai puunc is mueDieci to n ior us alertness in anticipating the machinations of both big and little business. Only a few days before rationing c&me into operation the ministry let it be known that stocks in hand might as well be disposed of before that time because from; then onwards the actual quantity which might be sold would be limited. It was remarked, too, casually, as it! were, that stock unsold too long might deteriorate and s so become unsaleable. j The effect was phenomenal. Retailers who had be-! come almost chronically hoarse as a result of repeating, "Sorry, Madam (or Sir, or Tommy) we have nothing left today" suddenly realised that they had better unload quickly: they discovered "under the counter" stocks which it must be presumed they had overlooked. Curiously enough, great numbers of them seem to have made a similar discovery almost simultaneously. Within a few hours even the youngsters who had been more or less sweetless for a long time could have bought candy by the peck had they possessed pounds instead of pennies. During that day or two, London by some process discovered what seemed to be an inexhaus'table cache' of candy. Stocks to meet the ration demand had of course' been distributed in advance. Well, the public wanted to anticipate the ration by laying in a little extra as a reserve and the shopkeepers! wanted to do the same thing by getting rid of stock. They rose nobly to the occasion. With prices un and stocks low we almost have , a candy ration in Prince Rupert these days!

It can only come from voluntary loans by her people. Each one must accept his or her juat share of rc sponsibility. What's rMr share of the savings.job? Well, the average Canadian would have to lend to Canada to meet Canada's need $1 in every $5 of income left after taxes and compulsory savings have been collected. The average may not fit your case. Your own circumstances are distinctly your own. You may be able to do better both out of your current income and out of your accumulated savings in the bankor you may not be able to reach the avcrape. Your share of voluntary savings is every dollar you can possibly spare, HOW YOU CAN OO IT ' f To do the utmost of which you arc capable, you must budget your living expenses every -ck to cut out every item of needless expenditure and never spend more than your budget allows. This is what Canada is asking of you , to help win the war ... to lend your money while others arc risking their lives.
