The ban of sales of automo-
biles to the public may occa-
sion inconvenience to many:
a hardship on a few. but it is
one of the best moves the
government has made, botih
to speed up production of es-
sential war material and to
make us conscious of the de-
mands on us for a successful
conclusion of t!he war. This
war is not won bcause this
country is big and potentially
strong. Some one has said
that we are poorly prepared
and the as indifferent
as France was when she was
in varied and subjugated. Un-
accustomed to hardship and
long hours of toil and reveling
in waste of our I ounties this
great nation would be an
easy prey for the hardy .Jap-
anese hordes but for the four
thousand miles of water sepa-
rating the nations. Some
hardships maj* bring us all to
a realization that we must be
a unit in backing the govern-
ment in every 'ay possible
to insure icces- in the task
the Japar hate ef before
tis. Our hardy forefathers sac-
rificed and fo ight for the
land and government they
handed down to us and we will
be unworthy of our heritage
d 1 mid we fail to kf-'\> faith
with them.

Daily Exercise Keep* |You Fit
A succer/sful business woman in
her early forties once said to me,
“I’ll be glad if the time corn 's
when I can stop taking exercises
and just sit back and let my figure
go.” Her attitude is a common
one. Many people realize that
they need exercise if they are go-
ing to keep in trim, but they look
upon it as a chore rather than a
pleasure. I find it hard to under-
stand that viewpoint. Exercise, in
addition to making one look and
feel better, provides an interest-
ing diversion, so why not enjoy
