Waste not—Want Not, Canada Food Board, circa 1915. Hamilton: Howell Lith. National WWI Museum at Liberty Memorial Archives (20.1.303).

"I am not going to lament or whine or question the wisdon of the Almighty anymore, as I have been doing lately. Whinning and shirking and blaming Providence do not get us anywhere. We have just got to grapple with whatever we have to do whether it is weeding the onion patch, or running the Government. I shall grapple. Those blessed boys have gone to war; and we women, Mrs. D., dear, must tarry by the stufff to keep a stiff upper lip."

— Susan Baker to Anne Blythe. L. M. Montgomery, Rilla of Ingleside. NY: Stokes, 1921, p. 70.

"Susan, I am determined that I will send my boy off tomorrow with a smile. He will not carry away with him the remembrance of a weak mother, who had not the courage to send him when he had the courage to go."
