FULL WAR EFFORT
SELF-SACRIFICE NEEDED
In the course of making his annual report as chairman at the annual meeting last evening of the joint council of the Order of St. John and Red Cross Society, Sir Ernest Davis said that even now there were examples of complacency and unless in the Dominion they first won out on the production and service fronts, the troops could not be expected to win on the liberty front.
"We would all like to see our war effort waged in the true sense of the word," added Sir Ernest. "Quite a number of people are moaning about taxation and saying that they cannot continue subscribing to patriotic funds. We must realise that taxes and subscriptions to the war for victory come before so-called essentials in our t standards of living, and demand a full degree of self-sacrifice."
