CARRY ON

i WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? CANADIANS’ DESIRE TO ASSIST WAR EFFORT. TORONTO. Men and women in every walk of life in Canada are asking “What can I do to help?” with increasing frequency as the impact of the war in which Canada is engaged bores deeper into the national consciousness. To provide leadership in the search for helpful occupations, part-time and spare-time jobs, that can be taken by those who have a sincere desire to assist “over here,” the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation presents each week a special war effort feature under the title, “Carry On!” Actual “case histories” are dramatised in the “Carry On!” programme to help promote useful voluntary work, and to illustrate the wide range of ideas for “effort” that run all the way from collecting Soft leather that will eventually end up in a windbreaker on the back of a volunteer mine-sweeping sailor in the North Sea .... to the plan of the young married couple who keep house for the wives of soldiers overseas, so that the children will be properly looked after while mother slips away to an early cinema. In one programme alone, six ideas were put forward and reports have been received by the CBC that all are being acted upon in different parts of the Dominion.
