Canada Adopls “Lend Lease” Program
FROM the nerve centre of Can
ada's industrial war effort, the
Department of Munitions and Sup
ply. stems the administration of
Canada's biggest business; the
business of providing ships and
tanks, planes and guns, ammuni
tion and explosives for use by the
United Nations on battle fronts the
world over. These munitions are
being produced at the rate of
155.000.000 worth weekly. Of her
vast war production Canada re
tains only thirty percent for the
use of her own forces
In addition to a $1,000,000,000
gift to Britain last year, Canada
has this year passed a United Na
tions Mutual Aid Bill, providing for
the distribution of Canadian war
equipment, raw materials and food
stuffs to the United Nations to
the value of $1.000.000.000 on the
basis of ‘'strategic need".
The bill, which Is a form of lend
lease, provides that effective use
in the prosecution of the war of
Canadian war supplies purchased
with the $1,000,000,000 be good and
sufficient consideration for trans
ferring these war supplies to any
of the United Nations, but what
ever reciprocal arrangements are
practicable may be entered into.
Canada’s allies will furnish Canada
with supplies or services in return
if they can. or they will ensure the
return after the war of any sup
plies or equipment which appear
to have a post-war use. Where any
terms and considerations are pro
vided for besides strategic need,
these will be clearly specified at
the time of transfer. There will be
no piling up of huge war debts by
the sale of supplies to the United
Nations for payment after the war
or the institution of indefinite and
uncertain post-war obligations.

FRIENDS.ci*ie*
There has been such a shifting
around of the population of this
country since the war began that
most all of us, by now, either
through personal expertence or
reports of others, are keenly
aware of the difficulties of build
ing a new circle of friends in a
strange town or city.
To a boy or girl raised in a
small town there is often some
thing glamorous about the
thought of leaving the cows and
the chickens and finding a new
home with a backyard full of sky
scrapers. But it doesn’t take long
for them to discover that sky
scrapers. theatres and the excite
ment of city life cannot compen
sate in apy way for the solid
friendships back home.
And when city people “escape”
to the country, hoping to find
peace and quiet and a more satis
factory type of companionship,
they often find it impossible to
adjust themselves to small town
wavs and, if they do stick it out
never quite learn to feel like a
part of the community.
But whether we move from
the city to the country or the
country to the city, most of us
find that our permament enjoy
ment of the new life has little to
do with our new surroundings
but depends, in a large measure,
on the friendships we are able to
build up.
NEIGHBORS.»upply
Cities have always been notor
ious for their unfriendliness.
. In a small community a stran
ger in town arouses the interest
of the natives—is called upon by
neighbors and invited to their
iomes. In such a locality a
stranger is given every possible
opportunity to enter into the town
\ctivities and become a member
rratitude and guts and imagina
tion? T’hose guys out there are
riving up their precious lives to
ensure your very freedom and
vour ev'ery hope for the future.
And bcause you were not called
upon to don a uniform is no ex
cuse for any selfishness or un
thinking stupidity.”
of the local “family.”
I In a city'a new neighbor means
nothing to residents, most of
whom hardly have a nodding ac
quaintanceship with their old
i neighbors. There are plenty of
leases in cities where'two families
live for months or years in ad
joining apartments without know
ing each other’s names.
The difference in behavior be
tween city and country people
should not be attributed to a
basic difference in the people
themselves. It is more a question
i of supply and demand.
In the country the supply of
potential friends is restricted—
so everyone finds it desirable to
keep on the best possible terms
with the other people of the
town. In a city, on the other
hand, the supply is unlimited and
those living there are inclined to
choose friends with care, accord
ing to their interests rather than
their proximity.
Country people take their
friends for better or worse. City
people are in a position either to
flit from one group of acquain
tances to another or confine their
friendship to one group and feel
no need to recognide the exis
tence of other members of their
thickly populatd community.
VARIETY . . solidarity
It is sometimes hard to de
cide which is the better off—the
country people who move to the
city and have difficulty finding
friends or the city people who
move to the country and hav'e
xriends inflicted upon them.
Having lived in both rtiy and
country I would conclude that in
either case it depends largely on
the breaks—on the neighbors the
cityite happens to find when he
settles in the country and on the
acquaintances the country per
son finally makes when he or she
moves to the city.
In the city, although it takes
longer to tind triends, one has
the advantage of being able to
go through a weedin out process
—dropping acquaintances who
don’t wear weli and substituting
new possibilities until you find a
group which meets your require
ments.
In the country, although there
is no difficulty in meeting peo
ple, you must learn to get along
with both those who don’t inter
est you and those who do.
The country life is more con
ducive to close, lasting friend
ships while the city offers var
iety at the expense of solidarity.
In the long run there is no ques
tion but the country life is more
satisfying to the soul, offers
greater security and probably
more happiness.

58 Boys Join
Boy Scout Troops
At the close of the first week,
the second annual wartime re
cruiting drive by the Boy Scouts
of the Piedmont Council has re
