Unite Member of Canadian Weckly } B.C. Division, Canadian Weei:ly News ‘wspapers' Association and papers’ Association. Abbotsford, B. C., Wednesday, September 10, 1941 Reconsecration Week This ‘week holds a special significance for every person residing in Canada, whether Canadian or not, who values the free way of living that Canadians enjoy. It is the third anniver- sary of Canada’s voluntary entry into the war now being wag- ed to thgvart Nazi plans to tyrannize the whole world. It is a +k set aside by our government in which the people of Can- re requested to reconsecrate their efforts toward a suc- ful conclusion to the hereulean task in which. we are now engaged. * * * Canada’s Page of Honor (‘Der Norwesten’’, German-language weckly, Winnipeg.) At a time when freedom is trampled on in many Euro- pean countries, where a well-planned propaganda has made it the target of scorn and ridicule, the fact that in an hour of ex- ternal threat and danger the liberties of her citizens have been only temporarily restricted and this only to a degree dictated by the hard facts of the moment, will forever remain a page of honor in the history of Canada. But we wish to underline still another fact that must be regarded as a lasting credit to this country, namely the tol- erance which Canada has showed in regard to her citizens of German extraction also in a’ war in which Germany is the enemy on the other side of the front. There are in Canada sey- eral hundred thousand citizens of German descent who have never been deprived of the right to use their mother-tongue. Germans of Canada, who have long been German-Canadians, know of no racial oppression. Enjoying equal rights with fel- low-citizens of other racial descent, they share with them rights and duties in relation to each other and toward the state. Theirs is not the sad fate of the Germans of South Tyrol, the lot of racially and religiously oppressed people. ie Dole \ oF “Speech That is Very, Very Free’’ A new angle on the Clock controversey in B.C. is taken by the editor of the Lynden Tribune in neighboring Washing- ton State. He may not have quite grasped the complicated situation that confronted us in B.C., as the Dominion Govern- ment, unfortunately, did not make the time change uniform in Canada, but this is what impresses him as a result of all the hub bub: “Talk about freedom of speech, how’s this for sassing back at the teacher? by “4 few months ago, the Dominion of Canada officially ordered the adoption of daylight savings time. Clocks were turned ahead an hour, but the farmers in the area north of Lynden didn’t like it a bit. They huffed and they puffed about it at various protest meetings, and they finally decided to blow the whole new schedule down as far as they were concerned. “The rest of Canada can keep on getting up an hour earlier, but Chilliwack and Abbotsford, together with the Muni- cipalities of Sumas, Matsqui and Surrey comprising the agricul- tural districts across the border turned the hands back to nor- mal this week. The Municipality of Langley will take a sim- jlar action on Oct. 1. B.C. Electric trains and busses will con- tinue to operate on daylight savings time, but the Canadian National Railway will run its trains on standard time, never having changed. . Confusion may result, but certainly one thing is defin- itely clear. No dictator is dominating Canada. Democracy is governing its own wrist-watch!”’ * * * He Serves Consistently and Well Proof that the best values are offered by the home-town merchants is to be found week by week in the advertisements appearing in ,your local newspaper. With his own business, his own home and all his contacts in the community which he serves, the home-town merchant consistently tries to give his customers the best possible value in line with quality and ser- vice. He does\so not only as a matter of good business but also because his customers are his friends, his neighbors and the residents of a district in which he, personally has a stake. He may not broadcast large sheets printed in big letters but he regularly features seasonable merchandise and interesting specials in the local newspaper, the most convenient and ser- viceable medium received by his customers. , wij e, . If this keeps;up the politicians will soon be sitting back and saying “‘please.’’ First the people get thoroughly annoy- ed and demand the Federal government really do something about , waging a war and the Dominion’s efforts are trebled. Then pressure of public opinion results in the Prime Minister having to go to Great Britain willy nilly. Now the farmers find they have a voice and the Premier of B.C. ,hastens to as- sure them that time will resume its stately course. L. H. Eyres, Chilliwack.
