Canada's hockey fans are noting
with satisfaction these days the
continued grip of the Montreal
Canadiens and Toronto Maple
Leafs on the 1.2 positions in the
National League. It's been quite a
while since the two Dominion
teams were up there for any length
of time.
As BELTS loop leaders, the Cana
dians also have a corner on the
individual records. They boast six
OF the first 10 in scoring, with Toe
Blake of the Frenchmen at the top.
Third and fourth places are held
by linemates Elmer Lach and Maui

has made 1t tough for any coach
who does not have a large number

rule made the game much more
interesting from the spectator S
viewpoint, but the greatly increas-
ed pace of the game is a severe
drain Of the players stamina. Most
coaches feel that II is unwise to

that a coach should have at least Il

some additional men in reserve in

eligibility list.

I'd like to say there's one sure way
To help to win this war;
That's Just to BUY MORE WAR
Z BONDS
Buy more, and more, and more!
1T may take weeks, and months, and
years
To crush the Axis Power,
We're on the spot, war costs a lot:
TEN MILLION BUCKS AN HOUR!
The payroll's steep we have to keep
And meet some way or other;
And you can't buy too many bonds
To aid a son or brotheri
For every Bond you purchase helps
To win, you can't deny;
We've got to BUY MORE WAR
BONDS, folks
Just buy, and buy, and buy!
To buy Bond is not a risk,
No doubt you own few;
The dough amassed for cars W1-
gassed
viii buy more bonds for you.
These "War Bond Talks" you listen
to,
Don't call them "ballyhoo,7
For listen. friend, you'll have to
spend
To help the Allies through.
If you're the guy who only buys
Bond to get some dishes,
Or just to get some autographs
OF Stars or ''Tizzy Lishes";
or if you buy Bond to get
To shake a "Quiz Kids" hand,
If that's your kind of Patriot,
Your brand is contraband
When Uncle Sam is in a Jam
Each one should want to share;
To end the fray, and pave the way
For Vict'ry over there;
Some people rave they Just can't
save,
Can't give up ten per cent;
But still at night they sleep all right,
In Liberty content.
You wouldn't call it living, folks,
To stand a fox-hole's hell
To breath the stencil within a trench
That's wrenched by shot and shell!
Just think a bit-then BUY MORE
BONDS,
They're dying there for you;
Don't stop to fret about your gas,
Or tires with threads worn through.
Don't crab about the Ration Board,
About your food and clothes;
When fighting men across the sea
Would relish some of those!
Let's keep Old Glory flying high,
Her colors bright unfurled;
Just BUY MORE WAR BONDS
safe and sound
BUY BONDS and save the world /!
