The Canadian United Allied Relief Fund is collaborating in the raising of this money, thus avoiding a second campaign. The forthcoming Red Cross appeal will' be more than ever worthy of support. Strategic and Political . . . It seems probable thnt the Germans are determined to make their final stand in South Germany. The Germans threw in eight of their best armored divisions to ward off the Russian advance in Bratislava and towards J. M. S. LOUBSER D.O., BA.

FIiATTI.ES LrtAFEUS hope, far from becoming more justified as time passes, is being increasingly dissipated. Each conference amorig the allied statesmen brings more and not less unity, and the Crimean conference is the best answer to the German belief that what cannot be obtained by military means may yet be obtained through Allied disunity. The War at Sea . . . With reference td reports that the main units of the German fleet are now at Conenhatren, London commentators SIQQQO.000 t0 carry on the Society s emphasise that these reports emanate work, brinfriner relief and comfort to exclusively from neutral countries, and tbtt-forces.

Iii'-a'dditidh to' these services, the Red Cross has undertaken to build lodges at tile-military hospitals in Canf.Ja where patients can meet arid entertain their relatives. The Society is also providing assistance for the British wives of Canadian servicemen on their journey across the Dominion. The School Problem . . .

Of course, it all boils down to the matter of financing. Had it not been for difficulties in connection therewith improvements and corrections would have been carried out long ago.

There was a risk that many Ford dealers thus deprived of their revenue from new car sales, would seek some other means of livelihood. Tlie character of the individual l ord dealers prevented this from happening. Thousands of Ford owners have continued to receive repair service and civilian transportation has been maintained. Ford dealers arc meri of resolution. Faced with this perplexing problem each one exercised his own private judgment, drew on his experience as a member of the Ford organization and charted his course for the future. Events have sorely tried these men. Hut, once again, it has' been proven that the strong are not beaten by difficulties that for every one able to stand prosperity, there are a hundred who will stahd adver-sity. So do character arid resolution make organizations that endure. On March 31, 1942, Ford of Canada had seven hundred dealers. There are still seven hundred. if Miicwff fai 11 tot niKH. !
