If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we clip things from other magazines We are too lazy to write them ourselves, If we don’t, we are stuck on our own stuff. If we stick close to the job all day, We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle. We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don’t print contributons, We don’t appreciate true genius. If we do print them, the column is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up, we are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now, like as not, someone will say We swiped this from some magazine. Right, we did. DO IT NOW If with pleasure you are viewing Any work a man is doing; If you like him or you love him, Tell him now. Don’t withhold your approbation ’Till the preacher makes oration And he lies with lilies white Upon his brow. Form no difference how you shout it, He won’t really care about it; He won’t know how many teardrops You have shed. If you thing some praise is due him, Now’s the time to slip it to him; For he cannot read his tombstone When he is dead.

THE EMERY WEAL 7 EDITORIAL ★ ★ ★ FREEDOM-OR FAILURE? Nineteen hundred and forty-one. Six years ago, Europe reached its peak in civilization. Six years ago, Europe began to retrace its way down that jagged path from which it had laboriously, tortuously progressed upwards for ten centuries. That was six years ago. Two years ago the entire world ceased in its light¬ ning progress, ceased in its mad race toward complete harmony of civilization. This is war! This is the titanic struggle of the flower of Democracy for its very life—against the choking stranglehold of the weed of Fascism. It is a war on men, women and children. In all the war-torn, shattered countries of Europe under the Nazi slavers, innocent little children, gurgling babies, carefree schoolboys, young men and women in the bldom of life, old people—harmless to anyone—all have been murdered, decapitated—and for what? The brutal Fascist powers say it is the stubborn price we are paying in denying ourselves the heavenly Utopia of the Ayran peoples, the New World Order created by an inspired man. We say it is the vastly repeated urge of a trouble¬ making nation, subdued by its wicked, avaricious master. We say it is the insane freed for powers of a few in control of a mechanically thinking country that always was only too willing to be led by sword and strength and discipline. We say it must stop! It has gone far enough! The horrible monster shall be overcome — it must! Who is going to wipe out this sinister menace? We are! We! the young men and women of Democ¬ racy. We who have been denied the normal rights of young manhood and young womanhood; who have been denied the democratic rights of generations, of peace, of normal industry, of normal jobs, prosperity and happiness. We, the young people of Democracy, shall unite together and strike this evil—strike it, and strike hard! We shall train ourselves in technical occupations to build grim engines of war, to speak the only language this nightmare of Fascism can understand. The young men and women of Liberty have been challenged. We accept this challenge, and shall fight it till one side or the other is erased from civilization for ever. It depends on us, the young people of free¬ dom, that it shall not be our side that is beaten to her knees 1 In this age of machinery and steel our victory depend upon the skill of our technical training of young men and women. We, here at the Institute of Technology, are in the best position to become the skilled technicians of today. Let us not waste time talking. Let us act, and act soon. The sooner we strike, the sooner will the mur¬ derous mark of Fascism be obliterated, and the sooner we shall return to those glorious days of liberty we knew so well—only two years ago. OUR EMERY WEAL ANNUAL Dear Students: This magazine is not the official Year Book of the Institute of Technology and Art. It is an experi¬ ment tried out for the first time due to the drastic stroke war has played on technical education in Canada. The demand for young men to join the fighting services of Canada has naturally decreased the enrol¬ ment at our Institute compared to pre-war years. To have published a Year Book for the students would have entailed a far greater circulation than this year’s enrolment is capable of supplying—or doubling the cost of the publication. However, it was felt that the students of this In¬ stitute should not be denied some means of keeping a souvenir—to remind them literally and photograph¬ ically of their friends and memories at the Institute this year of 1940-41. To fulfill this desire, the staff of the Emery Weal, the monthly student publication, has contrived to compose an Annual as a literary souvenir of this year. Our time limit was very short, a little over thirty days. Our reason—to enable those students leaving the Institute at Easter, e.g., D.P. Aero, Farm Con¬ struction, Motor II students, to acquire an Emery Weal Annual. However, any student activities in the near future, such as the Tech. Annual Field Day, will be recorded and presented to ypu in regular monthly issues of the Emery Weal after Easter. It is the sincere wish of the Emery Weal staff that you enjoy this first souvenir edition of the Emery Weal Annual.
