ONE TRACK MIND" For 43 years now we have travelled along the straight and narrow path of Furs and have learned that there are no short cuts to success.

At the beginning we realized that the more value we could give for the money, the more customers we would have. Our business has grown. Our staff has grown. Our buildings have grown. We succeeded because the label that goes into your coat; means more than a name.

If anything goes wrong with the merchandise we make we're here to fix it and please you. That's why we succeeded. We have a One Track Mind. F. D.

Parliament Hill Pray for Victory fc MB, V1 iv V. 1 II in a fitting thousands of Ottawa people gathered to unite in prayers foi victory and renew the pledge to Everyone Must Play His Part Rid World of Intolerable Tyranny 'We Are Fighting for Our Lives and So Much That Is Dearer Than Life'.

Dr. Woodside Tells Thousands on 'Hill' Only through everyone' playing his part will the darir, shadow of an intolerable tyranny be lifted from the world, Very ReV. Dr. John W. Woodside.

Chalmers United Church, said in delivering the address of the Reconsecration Service on Parliament Hill Wed nesday afternoon. I "A very great responsibility rests upon each one of us in the midst of this darkening crisis. Our back is to the wall. We are literally fighting for our lives and so much that is dearer than Dr. Woodsloe declared in his inspiring address to the assembled thousands.

Text of the address follows: In this hour of rededication we remind ourselves that our primary and immediate aim is victory, We aim to defeat those who 'have attacked us. This war is neither of our seeking nor making. It was thrust upon us. I do not believe thjat any sane man in any country of the world thinks differently. We may safely leave the verdict to history.

Our primary concern and aim. must be to defend our selves and defeat an enemy that seeks to destroy us. Most Lift Shadow. We aim also at security. Life Is just impossible if it is to be lived under the constant threat and terror of an' intolerable tyranny.

That dark shadow must be lifted from the world. Nu man knows how that security wilt Anally be established. It will be an emergence. The first and nec essary step is the defeat of those who threaten that security today. Next to life Itself, I suppose that freedom Is our most precious possession.

We have enjoyed freedom for so long that we do not appreciate It We have enjoyed for so lone the blessed institutions which have developed In freedom that we not appreciate them. Our brethren in the lands today occupied by the enemy know how precious is this freedom. We believe that this is a fundamental and inalienable right. It is as precious as life itself. It is life for most of us.

"Give me liberty or give me death" expresses an universal conviction. We defend and secure that freedom and the free way of life not only for ourselves but for all others and ultimately for those who seek to take it from us. Better Day Must Dawn. We aim to substitute reason for arbitrary force in all necessary negotiations between man and man, nation and nation. We are compelled to use force to demonstrate that, arbitrary force ran never be allowed to rule this world.

We aim to arrive at that reasonable and kindlier way of life even though we are compelled to fight our wayto it Every problem the enemy has or claims to have could have been settled and would haye been settled in Photo Public Inormition. anniversary of Canada's dec-. the kindly light of reason, if this strange madness were not in their blood. That -better day must dawn. We may have a cruel and unspeakable night to pass through before we see the light in the sky, but the light will come.

A very great responsibility rests upon each one of us in the midst of this darkening crisis. Our back Is to the wall. We are literally fighting for our lives and so much that is dearer than life. Again and again we are reminded that the issue will be decided by spiritual farlnrt 1 h1iv that ParV, one is involved and responsible in a manner and way past our find ing out. Each one can make a contribution beyond all reckoning.

There is an old story, which some would regard as superstition. It is related that once when Amalek and Israel were at war, as Moses held up his hands Israel prevailed and when helet them down Amalek prevailed. Then all the people by prayer7nd spiritual resolve upheld the hands of Moses to ensure complete andfinal victory. I am told that wars are not decided in that way today. But this is more than superstition.

The story stands for something of the utmost importance. Let me try to make it plain. The conviction persists and nothing within my power can cancel It that my personal behavior during these fateful days has direct bearing and influence upon the titanic struggle in which we ar ton, am engaged though I may never hear a shot fired or look upon- a bleeding body. Yet I am fully persuaded that it today I should fail morally, or do something which I know to be wrong, or cherish a treacherous and disloyal spirit and then in tomorrow's paper read, that our forces had suffered some defeat. I should feel that my personal failure and unworthy spirit had something to do with the fortune of battle.

I should feel that I had played a cowardly and unwprthy part as truly as if I had been a deserter on the field. You may laugh at me and deride me. I do not hear you. There is a still small voice within my breast, which I acknowledge, as which charges me, -when I know I have failed and played an unworthy part, with involving the defenders of my country in my own apostasy. If 1 let down my hands and if thereby our forces fail, it was.

my failure that helped to make their's possible. What right have I to ask them to do that which I do not support them fn doing? What right have I to ask them to do for me. that which I am not prepared to do for them? What right have I to ask them to give all. when I bargain about what I will give? There can be no side-stepping here. We are members -one of another.

For weal or woe we are all bound together in one bundle of life, i Why does victory linger?" Is it because, some man or group are letting us down, by playing an 72 5.

Each of us can help immeasurably, perhaps turn the balance.

Let us so uphold those who are fighting our battles. A prayer for our Nation and Cause in this crisis is nothing'ijl not based upon a daily renewed rededication and resolve to banish, every unworthy thing irom our lives and to leave nothing undone which is in our power to do. Thus in some worthy measure we shall support that gallant company on land and sea and in the air. who give everything.

It will retard strikes only if the Government has the moral strength to carry out its decisions, and that strength ha not yet been shown where any foreign-controlled union waz Strikes and slowdowns have, been declared illegal, but that wa as far as the Government seemed able to go.

-The first mistake was that the Government: sought to appease the C.I.O. and that was like trying itp appease Hitler. As lori as the; C.I.O. operates it is bound to keep industry In a state of turmoil. It cannot otherwise exist The way to industrial peace is to bar the C.I.O.

and all foreign labor organizations just as they are barred -from Mexico. Then there, will not be any need for governmental restraints. Unions will truly express the sentiment of the workers who. left to themselves, would gladly subordinate all their grievances to the real Job of war production.
