Phone 23 Olds, Alta. e a a a a a es As a final wind-up to the Victory oan campaign, the local committee cf the loan and canvassers of the town and district and their wives sat down to, a Victory dinner in the Elks’ hall on Saturday evening. Mr. Stan Edwards, Unit Organizer of the local campaign, presided and gave an analysis of the subscriptions turned in which revealed a total of 415 applications, Of these 286 were turned in through the local headquart- ers and 129 through the Bank of Mont- real, with a total amount subscribed of $101,200, thus putting Olds and dist- rict well over the top of their own ob- jective. |” (Mr. Edwards extended thanks of the local and provincial committees for the wonderful spirit of co-operation which manifested itself throughout the whole campaign. Miss Margaret Ogilvie rendered as a fitting climax to the meeting “The King is Still in London,” and as an encore, “Wings of the Air.” She was accompanied by Miss Mae Powell. Members of the local committee also expressed their appreciation of the splendid work done. am The meeting then adjourned to the Cc. P. R. park where the ceremony of raising the honor pennant was carried out. The pennant was given in honor of the district raising over 25% of its quota. Scouts Cliff Hartman, and Bob Scott raised the flag. y H. L. Taggart acted as chairman of the meeting. A group of boys and girls from the Olds school assisted with the choruses appropriate to the occasion.” Two Girl Guides, Anna Kelly and Lois Moore, added to the impressive- ness of the. ceremony by carrying in a replica of the Torch of Victory made by their members, symbolizing that Olds and district had. answered the challenge. Mr. Geo. Clark then delivered the following fitting address:- Mr. Chairman, Ladies and. Gentlemen, My. Young Friends:- I can assure you I feel highly hon- ored in having the privilege of speak- ing to you for a few minutes on this interesting occasion.. As we celebrate the achievements of the people of Olds and district in having gone over the top of their quota of $77,000 in the great victory loan campaign that has been carried on in Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific. “We are also celebrating the fact that the people cof Canada as a whole have gone over their objectives. I would like to pay my sincere tri- bute to Mr: Edwards, the campaign manager, and.his able assistants and their time and. the enthusiastic way. they tackled this work. I..believe a large amount of credit is due to them for the success we have ‘achieved in connection with his victory loan effort. While we here could not expect a visit from. the trans-Canada’ Victory Torch, I think it was a splendid idea on the part of your local. victory loan committee to have arranged this sym- belic ceremony to give the people of Olds and district an opportunity to meet in spirit with their fellow Can- adians in other parts of. Canada to renew. our ‘will and determination to do whatever lies within our power to throw back the worst aggression the world has ever witnessed, in which twelve small states and nations, as Mr. Churchill pointed out recently, had ‘been pulled down one by one, one after another they were felled by brutal violence. He said we stand the faith- ful guardians of the ‘rights and dearest hopes of these people now gripped in servitude. The lights of freedom are not flickering, but are shining bright in many parts. of the world. As we gather here on this quiet Sat- urday evening far from the heart of our Empire, our hearts go out to those great .people who have suffered and are still suffering severe tribulations. They have faced the loss of their ‘homes, separation from their children, the loss of their loved ones and the loss of life itself with the spirit of Christian martyrs of former ages. - Many no doubt have.cried out: “Oh, for the touch of a vanished hand; for what triumph of spirit over flesh they have demonstrated! Their heroic cour- age and wonderful outlook has been an inspiration to people in every demo-. cratic country in the world.. We are far removed from the din of battle where once again our gallant men from all over: the e on land, on sea and in the air, have left all and the heroes of 1914 to.1918, to. those of us who remember well and were associated with. the last war effort. The present outbreak of war came as a@ great shock to the high hopes and aspirations we had for a better world order. What hope can there be for a nation when the leaders of that nation tell the young men:. “We do not want the youth of Germany. to worship a crucified Jew; we want them to worship a German warrier.” What fools we mortals be! These dictators have failed to learn any les- sons from the history of the world. They think they can forever keep their own people in servitude by force, and extend that servitude over the world by the same means. Never! It is the spirit of a man or movement that counts. A man may be on the verge of eternity with a broken body, but a@ triumphant spirit. It is that un- seen spirit and the bonds of love and Christian fellowship that binds the democratic forces together in an un- conquerable determination to go on to final vietory on behalf of the oppressed and justi freed for all. ‘all of the ‘canvassers for the giving of | the sound of-a voice that is still.” But | - Geo. Clark Delivers Stirring Address at Conclusion of War Loan Campaign a a a a _a a I am happy to be standing in this park tonight, associated with the peo- ple of Olds and district. Many of our finest young men have enlisted with the various fighting for- ces. We bought our motor ambulance. The ladies have been wonderful in the amount of work they have done, over the top.in the Red Cross war. services, and now in the victory loan quota. If there are any within the hearing of my voice who have not joined this great crusade, you-are not too late. Our victory canvassers are still out to reach a higher mark. Remember what Mr.. Churchill said: “Give us the tools and we will finish the job.’ And as Premier Menzies of Australia said when in Canada: “What does it mat- ter if at the end of this war we have nothing, if we have retained our free- dom.” Ladies and gentlemen, may God bless and direct. our efforts in the trying months that lie ahead, and af‘er vic- tory has been achieved, inspire our statesmen to lay a solid foundation on which to. build a higher, a nobler and purer world order than we have ever known. before, and may freedcm embrace the whole of mankind. New Salary Schedule For Olds School Teachers The new salary schedule for Olds teachers in the public and high schools which has been under consideration for some time by the school board and representatives of the teachers, has fin- ally been settled satisfactorily. Under the new schedule the teach- ing staff will receive an increase am- ounting to approximately $900 a year. The minimum salary to be paid ele- mentary teachers in-the six lower ‘grades, has been increased from $850 to $900. The minimum for. interme- diate grade teachers has also been in- creased by $50, from- $950 to $1,000. The minimum for high ‘school teach- ers has been increased from $1100 to $1200 per year. . The schedule also provides that. the teachers of the nine-lower grades will receive an annual bonus of $35.00 and high school teachers $50.00. . The new schedule is to be in effect for four years. _. Two Teachers Resign ,Miss Thelma Butchart has sent. in ‘Hey permanent: resignation, white« Mr.) John. Mitchell: has asked for a year’s leave of absence. e A meeting of the board will be held on Monday night to appoint successors to fill these vacancies. A large num- ber of applications for the positions | have been received and in spite of the supposed shortage of teachers in the province, each mail brings in a new list of applications from qualified and experienced teachers. Harmattan Student Wins Prize for War Loan Essay The following essay was written by Hazel Siddon, age 16, a Grade 9 stu- dent the at Harmattan school, whose teacher is Mr. Ed. Basant. This event was a provincial War Loan essay con- test in which Hazel won a $5.00 War Certificate as second prize. Why We Should Buy Victory Bonds An ugly, black shadow has _ fallen over Europe. It is a grim, relentless shadow that makes helpiess women and children shudder with terror and brave souls shrink. Under its fierce arrogance the hapless slaves of ._Ger- man-held countries. toil. and sweat, goaded on by whip and: blade. It creeps through cold prison bars over there and deepens the look of fear, hunger and despair on the pale, sad faces of the shackled, chainéd prison- ers. It-is the ghastly shadow of Naz- ism, and its tools are tools of horror and annihilation. It is the dreaded shadow of death and destruction. Hit- ler and his Nazis know no God and] persecute those who believe in Him, but many a prayer has fallen softly from the white lips- of the oppressed, suffering children of Europe and risen to- plead ‘before the “Great White Throne”: for delivery stained hands of the. oppressor. Let us do all in our ability to help free them from brutality. Let us_help to rid the world of terror, hate and greed. God grant that we, the people of the British Empire, may never be forced to raise our hands in the Nazi salute and that our young men may never be forced to goose-step beneath the grim, threatening shadow of the cannon and the sword. That brave little island fortress; our motherland, means much to us in Can- ada. She is the backbone of Demo- cracy, and a symbol of faith, hope, courage and freedom. She lies in grave danger today and we must not fail her in her hour of need. She needs food and machines of war and we shall give her them, for if Britain falls, we, her children, will be lost. The last drops of British blood will be spilled before Britain will ever bow her stately head to Hitlerism, and we will hold out a helping hand and pray that that day will never come. In the bloody, bdattle-scarred soil of Europe lie the heroic dead of the Great War. Was their noble sacri- fice in vain? They fought their hearts out and laid down their precious young lives in a war that was to end wars. We must finish the job they so nobly began. Many of their young men, the flowers of our Empire, have fallen for the cause of freedom and justice in, this fierce, relentless struggle. Their supreme sacrifice must not—cannot be —in vain if we buy Victory Bonds! Freedom must not fall! “To us the Torch is thrown” and we must bear it high to victory! from the *lood- | Olds and District Did It! Final Figures $101,200.00 At the beginning of the Victory Loan campaign there were some pessimists around who didn’t think we could raise our quota of $77,000.00. But there were many of those who said: “It can be done; and we will do it!” And so the canvassers. went to work and canvas- sed and they did the job well, as the final total shows. This total is $101,- 200.00. The major part of the credit for this success goes to the canvassers who did.a thorough job and figures for the different territories are as fol- lows:- Olds Southwest .---_--- 14,250 Sundre District -- ~ 11,350 Olds Northwest. -- - 11,350 Olds Northeast -- - 8,150 Olds Southeast -- - 5,800 Town of Olds --...--.-- 50,300 Grand Total... ------ $101,200 They met with a great response but there were those who gave some of our canvassers.a not too kindly re- ception. However, these were very much in the minority and they will not. be forgotten. The main thing is this district has answered the challenge and’ is holding high the Torch of Liberty and Free- dom. It has begun to answer the.call of the Motherland for “Tools to finish the job” and that we will not fail her in her hour of need. It has also dem- onstrated that we will all stick toge- ther in this great struggle and carry on to victory. An Appreciation © To all of those who subscribed to the Victory Loan and to those who in any way helped in the putting over of the Victory Loan campaign in Olds and district, also to the merchants of the town and district who so liberally gave of their window space for adver- tising, the committee expresses its sin- cere appreciation. A: wonderful spirit of co-cperation prevailed throughout and demonstrates what can be accomplished when all puil together. We not only went over our quota, but we went over our own objective of $100,000. 3 Thank you, one and all. J.B Chairman, Local Committee.
