RED CROSS SPECIAL;
(By Garry Allighan)
London—(by cable)—Numbers of fearful families left an east coast town last night to spend the hours until morning sleeping on hard seats for which 10 cents was charged, while their vehicles were parked in country lanes a few miles from much bombed towns, The refugees from aerial hor- rors cycled down dusy lanes, in many cases father and mother riding tandem with a child in a basket carrier behind, Others chug-chugged out in broken- down autos, or hitch hiked, or pushed baby carriages ‘loaded with crying children and ground sheets, That is the exodus scene I saw last night when people sought to sleep in secur- ity from the bombs which almost if disturb the safety of East An- glia, They trudged, drove or peddled along the leafy lanes. which wind across the flat fenlands like green, sinuous snakes, By the waters of Suf- folk they lay down and slept, While ancient windmills swung lazily to the breeze, they slept, The willows that fringe the dykes and streams, verdant- ly glistening with watercress, were their bedroom curtains, Scores of dit- ches became dormitories, sparkling with ‘starlight on the stitchwort and honeysuckle, There they slept until the wild foxgloves raised rosy trumpets and blew a perfumed reveille this morning, when the pathetic parties went back to town to work or home,
Withersoever they went, the Cana- dian Red Cross, like Ruth of old, went also, Mobile canteens, - food kitchens and clothing cars are the camp follow- ers of the bombed, Blankets from the warm heart of sympathetic Canada were passed over hgwthorn hedge- grows to the denizens of ditch dormi- tories, Before the chilling night breeze from the cold North sea had a chance to get into the marrow of their bones, hot Canadian soup, tea and milk were ladled out to sleepy children, while the cows mooed an encore to the nightin- gales’ sweet lullaby.
In a score of villages within five miles of the East Anglican coast the Red Cross centres work through these Strange days and nights of valorous endeavor. In a little Suffolk town they have equipped a war visitors’ club where bombed out mothers and child- ren can obtain clothing and refresh- ments during the day, to make their return to the cities unnecessary, It has been in progress for nine months, during which 20 babies have been born to mothers attending the club, causing the Canadian Red Cross ambulance to run a ferry service between the club hospital, and drain the supply. of Cana- dian layettes,
I saw a prize specimen, little Nor- man Lawrence, aged six months, His mother was bombed out before his birth “to give the kid a fair chance,” she explained to me, The Canadian Red Cross has given young Norman a fair chance all right, judging by his plumpness, weight and lung power.

SWIMMING POOL CLOSED ON ORDERS FROM THE BOARD OF HEALTH
Proclamation Issued By Provincial Gov't.
The executive of the Carbon Com- munity Swimming Pool decided last Wednesday to close the local swim- ming pool for the season, following a communication from the Department of Public Health, prohibiting children 17 years and under from entering any public places, :
The committee thought is useless to keep the pool open for adults only, as very few seem to take advantage of our swimming facilities,
The following is the communication received from the Department by the Local Health Board:
“At a meeting of the Provincial Board of Health held on the above date, at which all members were pres- ent, it was decided to issue the follow- ing order:
“WHEREAS cases of Poliomyelitis are being reported from widely separ- ated points in the province, and
NOW THEREFORE, the Provincial Board hereby orders that any or every church, school, theatre, picture show, Pool room, dance hall, public swim- ming pool or wading pool, public play grounds or any other place of public assembly be closed to all children 17 years of age and under, until further notice terminating this order is an- nounced,
Owners of the above mentioned places are hereby made responsible to see that the requirements of this order are strictly observed.”

THE PRICE OF WHEAT IS TOO LOW SAYS WESTERN WHEAT POOLS
With the cost of manufactured goods
and most commodities rising steadily the price of wheat is at a ridiculously low figure. On the basis of 70c a bu- shel for One Northern at the terminal, the average price to farmers at local shipping points in Alberta, after av- eraging grades, will be around 50c a bushel, Even with a big crop such a price is profitless. Alberta’s wheat crop this year is less than half of last year’s outturn, which makes the price situation even more acute,
The Wheat Pools of Western Can- ada @re endeavoring to indu@ the fed- eral government to increase the price of wheat to $1 a bushel. In the United States, wheat farmers are obtaining approximately $1.16 a bushel through a guaranteed minimum price and spe- cial bonuses, The figure is considered on a parity with other prices,
In Western Canada, farmers have higher costs than in the United States and $1.25 a bushel could be considered as a parity price, The figure of $1 a bushel is not at all unreasonable,

The following crop report was issued on August 14th by the Head Office of the bank of Montreal,
Harvesting is now general in Mani- toba and Saskatchewan and cutting has commenced in Alberta, Above-nor- mal yields are expected in the greater portion of Manitoba, south-eastern Saskatchewan, southern Alberta and the Peace River country, Throughout the remainder of the prairies, yields will very from fair to virtual failures. Scattered showers have enhanced the prospects for late grains and improved the feed situation in numerous. dist- ricts, Sawfly infestation has caused extensive damage, Sugar beets in Ma- nitoba and Alberta ase progressing fa- vorably, In the Province of Quebec, crops have not made progress recently and rain is required, In Ontario fall wheat gave a satisfartory yield, but less than average yields are indicated for spring grains and for most fruits.
An average crop of good quality to- |
baico is expected and prospects are favorable for corn, tomatoes and sugar beets. In British Columbia continued hot weather has hastened the ripening of all crops and some deterioration is evident,

TAKE UP ALL AVAILABLE WHEAT STORAGE SPACE
Need More Cars To Haul Out Old Grain
There will almost certainly be a shortage of storage space at Carbon elevators this fall when wheat begins to come in from farms in the district.
According to reliable figures the four Carbon elevators with a_ total storage capacity of 850,000 bushels, now have on hand 285,000 bushels of grain. For the present there is a close- down on railway cars which means that no wheat is now being moved from this point. There is, therefore, only storage space at Carbon for about 65,000 bushels, and if wheat begins to roll in as expected this week, storage space will soon be at a pre- mium,
Permit books show that grain from approximately 20,000 acres will be de- livered to Carbon, At five bushels per acre, which is the first quota, 100,000 bushels of wheat will be directed here.
With harvest now general, most farmers will have some wheat to sell within the next few days and it is expected that local elevators will be “plugged” quickly,
There is going to be an average crop of around 20 bushels to the acre in the Carbon district, and this point needs more grain cars to take out the surplus wheat to terminals. It is hoped that necessary orders will soon be given to move wheat from Carbon so as to avoid grain congestion,
THE WORLD OF WHEAT REVIEWED WEEKLY BY MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE
Many farmers found by bitter ex- perience that even though they sum- merfallow every other year, and put a great deal of work into the destruc- tion of weeds, that nevertheless their fields are continually polluted with w
There ja¥e.tnkuy ways by which the weeds can infest and reinfest a farm. First, by the sowing of seed containing weed seeds; this the farmer can stop by sowing clean seed, Secondly, by weed plants in the fields setting to seed; sometimes because cf continual wet weather the cultivation of sum- merfallow is delayed, and so weed plants may grow to maturity and the seeds scatter on the land, Under such conditions the weed plants should be mown down in the fall before they set to seed, raked up into piles and burned before the land is fall-plough- ed. This will stop a lot of weed infes- tation.
It is most important to realize that weed seeds live for years deep in the soil, but these weed seeds only germi- nate each year in the top three inches. The best way is to deal with each three inches of soil separately; to de- stroy the germinated seeds contained in the top three inches one year, and then the seeds contained in the lower three inches the next time the field is summerfallowed.

Adults Or Children
“Either we must act like adults or we must expect to be treated like children,” declared one of the younger prominent business men in one of the Western Canadian cities recently.
The declaration was inspired by the comparatively recent decision of the Dominion oil controller to curtail the hours in which gasoline may be sold, together with other restrictions designed to bring home to the people of this country the imperative need for conserving gasoline, fuel oils and other derivatives of petroleum in order that more fuel may be released for driving aeroplans, tanks and other weapons in the baitle against Nazism.
The statement of this young business man was not inspired alone by the comparatively moderate restrictions imposed by the oil controller, but | by apparent evidence on all sides of a tendency on the part of too many to fail to appreciate the very urgent need for conservation of gasoline and to disregard the general appeal to the public to reduce pleasure driving by at least 50 per cent., which accompanied the announcement of the imposi- | tion of the restrictions.
As this same young man said, it would be a sad commentary on the! practical operation of our democracy if we are not willing to sacrifice a} tew pleasures in order to preserve it; if, as has been suggested it should | be necessary to impose a system of gasoline rationing in order to enforce conservation of this essential war material; if, in other words, we have to | be treated like children, because we do not act on our own initiative like | grown-ups are expected to act.
* * . J One Of Two Reasons
If the appeal to curb our appetites for driving automobiles in pursuit of pleasure does not receive the general response which the cause requires; it can only be for one of two reasons: Either the need for conservation of gasoline is not as fully appreciated as it should be, or we are loath to forego a few non-essential pleasures as one of the contributions that can so easily be made to the war effort. If the latter, can we conscientiously | subcribe to the theory that we are waging an “all-out” effort? Can we hope and expect to strike the knockout blow that must be delivered if vic-| tory is to crown our efforts and if we are not to become bondsmen in the) House of Hitler?
There should be no m{sunderstanding as to the need for the very mod- | est restrictions that have been imposed so far. There should be no mis- | apprehension as to the necessity of going farther than these restrictions | as a volun.ary effort. There is every reason why we should “act like adults” | and demonstrate that the democracy we espouse is a living thing. It is inconceivable that we would not do so, if we understood the reason and appreciated the dire necessity.
There is no one who understands the situation who will not subscribe to Churchill's declaration that the ultimate outcome of this war lies in the decision of the Battle of the Atlantic, the fight on the water between this continent and Great Britain. If Britain is defeated there, the life line of the Empire and of “democyacy is severed. Supplies of war material and food to the front line are cut off. Gasoline is the first requisite, first to the winning of the Battle of the Atlantic and subsequently to the winning of the war. Every Canadian who burns a gallon of gasoline unnecessarily, in the light of these facts, should ask himself: ‘Am I willing to do this when the gasoline I am using for personal enjoyment, might be used to save a ship carrying food to rationed comrades in Britain from being sunk to the bottom of the ocean, or prevent a boat carrying our gallant boys and their fighting equipment from being destroyed?”
. * * *
Works No Injury
Figures have been made public showing that consumption of gasoline | in Canada far outstrips production and this is also true of the balance! between consumption and production in Western Canada, and what is more domestic consumption is in¢reasing by leaps and bounds. It is true that a great deal of the gasoline and fuel oil consumed in Western Canada is required for agricultural and industrial purposes, but it is also true that a considerable percentage is used for the pursuit of pleasure and most of the latter, perhaps all of it, could be eliminated without doing anyone an injury. |
The excess of consumption over production has to be imported, either | by ocean or lake tankers or by tank cars on the railways from the United States. The tankers are urgently needed to convey gasoline overseas to provide fuel for fighters and bombers and motor boats engaged in the Battle of the Atlantic and tank cars from the United States should be! released for the use of gasoline required for the rapidly accelerating de- fence measures on the other side of the international boundary. Moreover, the fact should not be overlooked that every Canadian dollar sent into the| United States for the purchase of gasoline to be used in pleasure driving | could be utilized to much greater advantage in the prosecution of the Canadian war effort

THE CHRONICLE. CARBON,
New Radio Alert Receiver
Would Replace Sirens In Air Rald Warnings
Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New
York expressed belief that the ring-
jing of a bell in the new radio alert
receiver, which responds automatic- ally to an inaudible signal, would re- place sirens as air raid warnings. La Guardia, national director of civilian defence, engaged in a trans- Atlantic conversation by radio with Maj. F. W. Jackson, chief of the Lon- don fire brigade, and W. B. Brett, chief operational officer of the Lon-
= don civilian defence.
A tes: of the new device, which summons listeners to their receivers
|; even though the sets are not turned
on, was made earlier. David Sarnoff, president of the Radio Corporation of America, took part in the demon-
| stration, described the successful re-
sults for the British officials.
The London defence heads were assured by Sarnoff that England would be permitted to manufacture the special type receiver.
Sarnoff said the receiver rang a bell to summon listeners and shut off when an all-clear signal was flashed. It functions 24 hours a day.
He said the device is the size of a portable radio, could be at‘ached to standard radio sets, and manufac- tured in quantity for “somewhere around $15 or perhaps less.”

The Vast Magnitude Of Sprawling Areas Of Russia Difficult To Comprehend
One doub‘s that even Adolf Hitler, communing with what he takes to be his soul in lofty Berchtesgaden, can grasp the full extent of land, of peoples and of history which he has troubled by his invasion of Russia, says an edi‘orial in the New York
Times. His deepest penetrations, afier a month of war, were pin- pricks in Russia’s skin, however,
costly to her armies. At Smolensk, Kiev, Leningrad ir even Moscow, the invader is barely launched upon the Russian ocean, From these points to Viadivostock is a journey of weary thousands of miles.
Take the whole continent of North America, throw in Central America, add Venezuela and Colombia, and one has a little more than the equival- ent of the Soviet Union. Place Soviet- controlled Outer Mongolia and parts of Chinese Turkestan on the Russian side of the scales and they will send the balance down with a bang. In total population the Russians will have considerably the advantage.
For centuries beyond history this unimaginable area has been trampled by countless invasions and migra- tions, Scythians, Sarmations, Goths, Huns, Mongols, Northmen, Turks, Germans, Swedes and Frenchmen have at one time or another inhabit- ed or invaded it. Jenghiz Khan and Kublai Khan in the thirteenth cen- tury, Tamerlane in the fifteenth, Napoleon in the nineteenth have con- trolled or attempted to control great paris of it.
The European plain of Russia has been a recurrent battleground. Min- gling of races have taken place which no scholar can now unravel. Neither rivers nor mountains have ever proved a permanent barrier. Almost every condition of human life on earth has existed within the Soviet Union; life on the tundras and among the stunted firs and pines of the north; in the forest bel‘s of oaks, elms and beeches; on the fertile black earth of the middle belt; in grazing land and deserts south and east; in the wild mountains of the Urals and the Caucasus, and in the shadow of the ranges of Turkestan and Mongolia.
The Chinese, the Greeks, the Ital- jans of the Renaissance, the French of the Age of Enlightenment have all contributed to historic Russia. Her Communist phase has not wiped out her physical geography, her racial composition or her immemorial tend- encies. And now her land and peo- ple are a channel between the waters and civilizations of the Atlantic and those of the Pacific.
When one considers the magitude of Russia, the depth of tradition, the strategy of her place on the globe's surface, one may be skeptical as to the lasting effects of nearly a quarter of a century of Leninism and Stalinism, as well as doubtful of how much Hitler's destroying angels may be able ‘to accomplish. The Nazi tanks go where the Golden Horde once ruled, but the dust and mud may swallow them up too.
The hungry seekers after world dominion have crossed these planes many times before. Their bones rest in the Russian earth.
Yukon Planes
Be Used By The Government In Egypt
Officials of Yukon Southern Air Transport Limited announced that they are turning over two of their recently-purchased Lockheed Lode- star transport planes to the British government for use as troop carriers in Egypt.
They said the planes had been re- quested by the British government and would be stripped to essentials before being sent to Egypt.
Th planes, now flying between Ed- mon‘on, Vancouver and the Yukon, normally are intended to carry 14 passengers and a crew of three, The machines are equipped with extra large gasoline tanks for long flights.

Address Soldiers’ Mail In Ink
Help Ensure The Safe And Speedy Delivery
Postmaster General William P. Mulock has always shown a_ keen personal interest in providing a safe and expeditious service for mail to our overseas troops. One frequent cause of delay—a direct fault of the sender—is illegible addresses on mail matter.
It has frequently been found that pencil written addresses become sfaudged and unreadable during course of transmission, with the re- sult that it is very difficult for the Canadian Postal Corps to effect de- livery.
When ink is used there is less dan- ger of the address fading or becom- ing obliterated and persons sending letters and parcels to soldiers over- seas can help ensure their safe and speedy delivery by always having care taken to see that the address is written in a clear and legible man- ner in ink.
All mail should be fully prepaid and a re.urn address given in the upper left-hand corner. Letters, par- cels and newspapers for our troops overseas should be addressed in ink as follows:

Bomber Crew Captured
English Boy With Gun Rounded Up Nazis After Crash
A despatch from London said a 16-year-old Isle of Wight boy, hunt- ing with a double-barrelled shotgun captured the crew of a German JU- 88 bomber after it crashed in a wheat field.
“I was out with my sporting gun after foxes,” the fair-haired capior, Geoffrey Janes,*said, “and saw the plane circling around.
“Eventually it crashed and the crew all came toward me.
“I more or less threatened them with my gun, and two of the Ger- mans who had automatics started waving them about. I tried to take the guns off them but they would not give them to me.
“I told them they had better come up to the fort with me and we had just moved off when Stanley Wood- nutt, a bricklayer, came up. About five minutes later we were met by a Royal Air Force escort who took charge of the prisoners.”
Asked what he would have done had the Germans tried to shoot at him. Jane’s answer was, “I would have shot back at them.”
Have No Choice
Hitler Sees That People In Occupied Countries Eat Less
The “German Bureau for the Ex- ploitation of Captured Provinces” establishes policies; these are fol- lowed by administration in areas overrun by Hitler's armies.
The bureau says, “inferior races eat less,’’ and, in Poland, Germans receive more than twice the food rationed to men of captive popula- tions.
Poland’s people die of starvation. Hitler means them to die. Long ago he wrote that “inferior races will be wiped-out and their property seized” by noble Aryans of the German master-race. 5
To-day, Germans do exactly that, and build up mass hatred such as Europe has not known for centuries.
But this one came on a truck as a museum piece, and it is being ex- hibited in Central Square of the Soviet capital, according to the caption from Moscow. Apparently the plane was one of those shot down during
raids on Moscow. Soviet authorities have minimized effect of these raids.
Prisoner In Gerenny
Deck Boy Of British Steamer Adopt- ed By Ontario School
One of the youngest British pris- oners of war in Germany, 15-year-old Albert Oates, deck boy of the steamer Oranma, has been “adopted” by the children of a Canadian school in Northern Ontario.
Albert, who comes from Russell Rd., Tilbury Docks, was captured when the Germans sank his ship, a transport, off Narvik.
From Ilag VIII., a prison camp at Gleiwitz, Poland, he wrote to his mother, Mrs. E. Oates, for cigarettes and a mouth organ.
The mother wrote to Miss Christine Knowles of the Prisoners of War Books and Games Fund. On Miss Knowles’ desk lay a letter from
William Hiscock, school inspector from Iroquois Falls. Ont. He sent a contribution, collected in pennies
from the children of 15 Ontario schools for British prisoners of war.
Each of the schools was allotted a prisoner of its own. No. 1 Menapia school, Islands Falls, got Albert Oates, and Cons‘ance Willoston, the teacher, became his godmother
From the pennies subscribed by these children from mining commun- ities and farms of Ontario, Albert will get his mouth organ.
He will also receive, every quar- ter, a parcel of food and clothing, and every month a parcel of six books about the sea, his favorite reading.
The first six, including “Captain Courageous” and “Captain Horn- blower,” were sent recently. With them was a letter telling Albert of his new godmother and the children of Islands Falls.

Annual Sales In United States Amount To $400,000,000 *
The future of the perfume and cosmetic industries in the United States may well be determined by the outcome of negotiations now un- der way for the release of large French shipments of the. basic in- gredients and for the issuance of navicerts to insure future delivery, according to the department of com- merce. With the object of manufac- turing here products identical with those formerly imported, several well-known European perfumery houses have established permanent headquarters in New York. The problem they face is that, due to the British blockade and shortage of shipping space, imports of the nec-
essary ingredients have virtually ceased. The annual production of Ameri-
can cosmetics has increased within 40 years from less than $7,000,000 to over $200,000,000; last year, in addition, toilet preparations valued at $2000,000,000 were sold. Consid- erable success has attended effor‘s to expand production of lemon and orange oils in the United States, and experts say that lavender and ger- anium plantations could be extended. However, to grow outside of Italy the bergamot from which the basic perfume material, bergamot oil, is obtained, has been found impossible. —New York Sun. Appeals To Everyone

Should Always Bo On Guard Against | Subversive Activities
It is a public duty and a matter of self protec.ion for all Canadians to circumvent the enemy Fifth sachets ist. German subversive activities | were instrumental in the subjugation of various European countries and enemy organiza.ions existed in all of them. It would be futile to assume that similar organizations do not ex- ist in all free countries.
Canadians should be constantly on| guard agains: enemy lies, false rumours and alarmist reports. If gathered in conversation, seen in
print or heard on the radio, it is wise | to check their authenticity.
If a s.atement is credited to the radio the following details should be learned; time and date, station, wave- length, language, where broadcast | was heard and, most important of all, | by whom. If a report is credi.ed to the printed word, the name of the newspaper or publication and its date should be established. If rumours are credited to conversational sources every effort should be made to trace the original source of the rumour to- gether with the names of the persons} present during the original conversa-| tion. Although it may be difficult to trace the origin of a rumour of this} nature, the fact that it has originated | through an individual, of a particular type, may in itself be of some value. |
Rumours can not always be offici- | ally denied—this is par-icularly true | of reports on the loss of ships. An| official denial frequently does more harm than good since it gives undue | prominence to a rumour that would perhops not otherwise have got into} print, It may also provide the enemy | with information which he is seeking, | e.g. the disposition of the ship in) question. “An excellent example of this was the faked distress message’ from the Empress of Australia which | was directed to a U.S.A. commercial | station. The enemy obviously hoped | to obtain from official sources a| statement as to the vessel's position. The best thing to do on hearing a rumour of this, or any other sus-| picious variety, is to report it im- mediately with all possible details as to the source, etc., to a service au- thority.

Wood Seasoning
Demand For Lumber Has Resulted In Speeding Up Of Process
Wartime demand for dry lumber has given great impetus to the sea- soning of lumber in dry kilns, re- | ports the Forest Products Labora- tories of the Depar:ment of Mines and Resources, The scarcity of cer- tain lines of stock has necessitated the speeding up of the seasoning pro- cess to such an extent that even hardwoods are being kiln-dried directly after being sawed from the log. In some cases lumber is now being fabricated into furniture and other commodities a few days after it leaves the mill.
Wood used indoors in Canada must be dried to a point far below that attained in the air-seasoning yards, because of atmospheric conditions in| heated buildings during the winter season. Formerly it was the custom with many species of timber to store the green material in yards or sheds for a period of from one to two years followed by a further storage of one to three years in the shop in which the wood was to be worked. With the development of the dry kiln, trade practice for most species re- quired the air-seasoning of the lum- ber in yards or sheds for at least a year before kiln-drying. The next step in the evolution of dry kiln practice was a gradual shortening of the air seasoning period before kiln-drying.
Today kiln design and _ practice have been improved to such an ex- tent that hardwoods may be dried) in from eight to twenty days after sawing, the time depending on the species and the sizes of the lumber. Control equipment in dry kilns has been improved so that during the drying period the moisture content of the lumber is known at all times, enabling the operator to attain the exact moisture content desired. The wood dried in such kilns may be
| conditioned so as to permit its being
cut up without any trace of working of the wood, the quality of the lum- ber not being affected by the rapid kiln-seasoning.

THE CHRONICLE, Silk Substitutes
Will Be Used To Replace Imports From Japan
Eliminate silk stockings from con-| sideration, Ottawa officials said, and Canada’s problem of replacing raw | silk imports from Japan can be con- quered.
“Hosiery still is the one big ques- tion mark,” said an official in close touch with the silk siluation as it affects Canada. He estimated that before the war 85 per cent. of Japa- nese silk imported by the Dominion was used in manufac‘ure of silk stockings.
“It's a problem that may be hard to solve completely and satisfactorily but we're constantly working to de- velop subs‘itutes and much research work is being done,” he said.
When silk imports from Japan were banned this year a graduated curtailment scale whereby manufac- turers were limited to progressively- diminishing quotas of their 1940 pro- duction was adopted. This had serv- ed to cushion the loss of Japanese

PETER ENCOURAGES SUFFER- ING CHRISTIANS
Golden text: If a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; | but let him glorify God in this name. |I. Peter 4:16. | Lesson: I. Peter 4; 12-19; 5: 6-11. oe reading: Matthew 5:3-
Explanations and Comments
Peter Encourages His Readers to Meet Threatened Persecution Bravely, I. Peter 4:12-19. Beloved, do not won- der at having to endure a fierce trial, do not think it strange that such should befall you, for it comes to prove you. Rejoice to be partakers of Christ's suffering and glory— “that glory which is surrounding you even now, though you canno: see it yet.” Blessed are you when reproach- ed for the name of Christ; because God's Spirit (which is the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God) rests upon you.
Let none of you suffer as a mur- derer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as @ meddler in other men’s affairs. Evidently Christians were slander- ously accused of such guilt, and against such slanders Peter would have them defend themselves. Ina let- ter to the Emperor Trojan, Pliny the Younger declared that after careful investigation he found that the cus- tom of the Chrisiians was to sing hymns of praise to Christ as God in
[their religious assemblies held before
daybreak, and to bind themselves by a solemn oath to abstain from sin, such as thefts, robbery, adulteries, fraud and untruthfulness.
Peter would not have them asham- ed to suffer as Christians and would have them continue to glorify God. The sixteenth verse seems to contain an echo of Jesus’ words in Mark 8:38.
There are only three places in the New Testament where the word “Christian” appears: the first is Acts 11:26 where it is said that the dis- ciples were called Christians first at Antioch; the second records the con- temptuous words of Agrippa that) Paul would fain make him a Chris- tian, Acts 26:28; the third is here in our text from First Peter, where it indicates that the bearing of he name Christian might involve suffer- ing.
Peter Bids His Readers Trust in God, 1 Peter 5:6-11. Humble your-| self under the strong hand of God) then, so that when it is time, he may raise you; let all your anxie‘ies fall upon him, for his interest is in you (Moffatt’s translation). The last clause in the Greek reads literally, “because he has you in his heart.”
“The sovereign cure for worry is religious faith: the really religious equanimity, and calmly ready for any equanimit, and calmly ready for any duty that the day may bring forth.” (William James).

Maritime Consciousness
Manitoba Has Sea Coast Of More Than 400 Miles
To those who live by the Atlantic | or Pacific shores or near the Great Lakes, and who think that Manitoba is purely inland and a region of land- lubbers, ‘‘Manitoba Calling”, publish- ed by CKY, has this to say:
“Actually, we in this part of Can- ada have a distinctly maritime con- sciousness. Apparently far from the | sea, we are not so far in fact. The |salt waters of Hudson Bay roll in upon more than 400 mile of Manitoba sea coast. Churchill, ancient trading post named in honor of him who be- came the Duke of Marlborough and | ancestor of Britain's present Prime Minister, has been developed as a modern port for trans-Atlantic traffic.
“Our fresh wafer lakes are numer- ous and expansive, Lake Winnipeg is larger than Lake Ontario. In addi- tion to the angling, sailing and boat- ing attractions offered to sportsmen, | we have a considerable commercial | fishing industry which in 1940 han- |dled more than 28 million pounds with a market value of nearly two million dollars.

VITAL DEFECTS OF TEETH
INTEREST
According to reports received by the Health League of Canada, de- fecis of the teeth are the most fre- quent grounds for rejection of U.S. draftees, it was stated at League offices at Toronto. Among those accepted, the proportion not in need of some form of dental treatment was said to be only about one is 500.
While statistics on similar condi- tions in Canada were not available, said an official of the Health League, he believed that they would be fairly proportionate, allowing for the far greater number of slum dwellers and underprivileged rural communities is the United States.
He suggested that the remedy lay, not primarily with corrective dental work but with adequate nutrition. Many children, he declared, suffer from a deficiency of vitamins and mineral salts which lead to dental decay. Is such cases, dental troubles began in childhood.
Another factor, he believed, was that among low-wage earners .and workers with large families, the fam- fly budget allowed little for dental care, though all children would be the better for regular dental as well as medical examination. For this rea- son he believed there should be a concerted move to establish free den- tal clinics in large urban districts.
A properly balanced diet and periodical mouth inspection with a view .to combating dental decay at its outset, were the best safeguards against conditions such as those re- vealed in the United States report, he asserted.
Need Of Metals
Aluminum The Most Abundant Metal, Is Now Very Scarce
Two of the most paradoxical] bot- tlenecks the war has produced are those due to a scarcity of aluminum and a scarcity of magnesium. Alumi- num is the most abundant metal in the world. Nearly eight per cent. of the earth’s crust is composed of it. Magnesium is the eighth most abundant metal. Both are light metals, and as such are of high im- portance in airplane building. But the supply of both is short and air- plane building is hampered by that act.
The use of aluminum in airplane building is well known. Aluminum weighs only about a third as much as steel. When aluminum and steel are combined in an alloy, both strength and lightness are achieved. So, aluminum alloys are used for both the structure and the engines of airplanes. Indeed, aluminum is said to enter into 90 per cent. of the average plane. ”
Magnesium is only two-thirds as heavy as aluminum—about one- quarter of the weight of steel, and its alloys are equal in strength, ten- sile properties and ductility to alumi- num alloys. .
British Columbia might well be do- ing something to relieve the mag- nesium bottleneck. The Cariboo | country, in the neighborhood of Clin- ton and elsewhere contains great de- posits not yet fully prospected of both magnesium hydroxide and mag- nesium sulphate or epsom salts.—

BRITAIN READY FOR ANY ATTACK — IN MIDDLE EAST
London.—Britain is much stronger and ready for offensive action iff the Middle East where, the informant de- clared, Britain already has halted a Nazi drive toward the Suez canal. This was a reference to the defence of Egypt's western frontier, west of Suez, and the dominance Britain has won in Syria and Iraq, on the other flank of Suez.
Now, he said, the British military position from the border ,of Turkey
to the border of Libya is so strong} 14 sa
that “the Axis is talking nervously of British assaults on Libya, Sicily or the Greece islands.”
This source acknowledged that the Germans still held the initiative in the Russjan campaign although, he said, the German high command is gravely concerned over “the slow- ness of the advance and the very heavy casualties.”
The world-wide military situation, as described in this review, follows:
British blows against the Germans at Salum, on the Egyptian-Libyan frontier, although apparently inde- cisive, have taken such a toll of German armored fighting vehicles that the possibility of a large scale German attack toward Alexandria and Cairo has been virtually ruled out,
Tobruk, Libyan strongpoint still in British hands, lies as a_ constant threat to the flank of any major Axis offensive into Egypt.
The triumph in Iraq was one of the first brakes put on the vast pincer movement with which the Germans planned to take Suez and the Cau- casian oil fields of Russia.
Other brakes were the fierce re- sistance of Yugoslavia and Greece which cost the Germans “time and heavy casualties,” and Crete which used up such German forces as air troops which would have been vital for attacks on Syria and Iraq.
The British and Free French in- vasion of the French mandate of Syria was “the final blow to the whole German Middle Eastern plan.”
The remaining Italian troops in East Africa, specifically Ethiopia, are ready for the taking. There are pockets of resistance at Gondar (3000 Europeans and 6,000 natives) and at Uolchefit (3,000 Europeans and 1,000 natives) but these are ex- pected to be speedily mopped up, solidifying the East African section of the Middle East lines.
Invasion Danger.
Bombers Could Cross Ocean In 11 To 12 Hours
New York. — Lt.-Col. George R.
Hutchinson, who has been ferrying |
bombers to Britain for a year, told a Rotary Club luncheon that several hundred bombers could cross the ocean in 11 or 12 hours and drop enemy parachute troops on major eastern United States cities,
Having flown the Atlantic several times in both directions, Hutchinson said he was convinced that as many as 10,000 troops could be dropped on strategic eagtern airports, which are not protected by barrage balloons, air raid detectors, or anti-aircraft batteries.

Nazi Bomber Talks
Is Taken Prisoner When His Plane Crashes In Flames
London.—"I always knew there were no laurels to be won over Eng- sand,” declared the wireless operatot of a Nazi bomber taken prisoner af.er the plane was brought down in} flames.
A British night fighter crept up behind the plane as it swept in over England with its load of bombs. From short range the fighter’s guns blazed and the bomber caught fire. The! Nazi airman had time to strap on a|
parachute and leap to safety. ¢
“Before we star.ed on this trip, I had a presentiment that it would be! unlucky,” the airman told his cap- tors. “The pilot was very nervous id that the whole flight was a farce.”
The bomber was flying at 19,000 feet heading over England when the wireless operator, glancing back, .thought he could see-a “shadow” coming up behind.
“I said to myself, ‘I mustn't make a mistake—you don’t want to tell the others it’s a night fighter when it may not be one,” the Nazi re- lated.
“I took another look and then saw that it was still behind us and about 650 yards away. I switched on the inter-communication and_ shouted: ‘night fighter astern and to star- board.’
“I told the pilot he ought to turn off to the right and then perhaps the figher would miss us, though the moon was as bright as day.
“The pilot did not turn off and the night fighter came closer and closer. It only gave us a few seconds. Then there was an explosion in our air- craft and bits flew all over the place. |
“The mechanic shouted he was bleeding to death or something like that. I had no time to attend to him—‘hings moved too fast.
“He probably caught the whole dose but it didn’t touch me probably | because of armor plating. I still had| everything on, oxygen mask and all) the trappings.
“I looked out apain for the night fighter and saw him banking away.
“On that evening we had taken over a brand new aircraft with new parachu‘es. Mine didn’t fit, but I struggled into it and opened the escape hatch and jumped.”

SOVIET ARMY IS DEFENDING ROAD TO LENINGRAD
Moscow.—Mentioning for the first | time in days the German-Finnish at- tempt to smash into Leningrad from the north across the Karelian isth- mus, Soviet Russia reported that the army is fighting stubbornly against the invaders in the Kakisalmi | sector, about 75 miles north of Len- | ingrad. e
The same war report, issued by the Soviet information bureau, told | of continued bitter battles in the familiar Smolensk and Bel Tserkov sectors of the centre and south, where official Soviet accounts have told of counter-attacks holding up the Nazi advance. |
Only in those areas and in the Estonian sector, where the Germans are trying to put the squeeze on Leningrad from the sou-hwest, is there major fighting, the Russian communique said.
Kakisalmi is a Lake Ladoga port | which the Russians gained in the 1939-40 war with Finland.
With this new development on a
|front hitherto comparatively quie-
scent, official accounts portrayed the | Red army as counter-attacking in| sustained fashion on the central and| southern approaches ito Moscow and} Kiev in a deepening battle of move- ment on a 350-mile front.
The Soviet forces met the new German offensive in the Ukraine with the same sort of counterpunch which | has blocked the road to Moscow from Smolensk, the Russians said. The first communique told of battles rag- ing on, day and night, in the mobile fighting of the southern and central | quarters, in the wide, fiercely-con- tested sectors of Smolensk and Bel Tserkov, south of Kiev. Moreover, it was implied that well-entrenched) Russian armies in the north were turning back successive German as-| sault waves at Kholm, midway be-' tween Smolensk and Leningrad, and in Estonia.

BOMBING TRIP TO GERMANY IS FULL OF THRILLS
London.-The men who played leads in a British documentary film “Target for To-night” staged a real- life repetition of their movie raid in an attack on Mannheim.

“At one time we counted at least | 12 flares in the air and you could see other bombers were at work farther away.
“We laid the | docks and then, coming home, gave} the two gunners a night out.

New developments in Canada are making Dominion citizens more and more alive to the truth that this modern world war knows no front line.

Canadians are discovering that they can take part in active warfare even while carrying out their ordinary civilian lives,

Traditions | OF The Navy
British Sailors Do Many Things According To Nelson Way
People in Canada and the United States who are far removed from the coast do not see many naval ratings, and some of the ways the sailors have of doing things are found greatly interesting. A British sailor, whose ship was in an American port for re- pairs, visited a sister in Chicago. Like all sailors everywhere, he did his own laundry daily. His relatives also were fascinated observers of (he other rites that enable a sailor to stay looking trim. Upon retiring he removed his trousers and turned them inside out. He then folded them five times and put the folded gar- ment under his pillow, where it re- mained the rest of the night. In the morning his trousers, turned right side out again, appeared freshly pressed, with the side seams turned in and five horizontal crease marks between top and bottom. Aked the reason for these lateral, creases, he answered, “That's the way Nelson did it.”
British seamen wear a black ker- chief which is popularly supposed to go back to the days of Nelson, for whom it is said to be a symbol of mourning. But another belief is that in the early days of navies it was the custom of all seagoing men to wear their hair in pigtails down the back of their necks, and to slosh this pigtail with grease to make it stiff The men wore kerchiefs to keep the grease off the coat collar, and the kerchief is still worn, though the reason for it is gone. Tradition also says that buttons on cuff originated from the whim of an old commodore who had them put on the cuffs of midshipmen to prevent them wiping their noses on their sleeves.
Another Nelsonian touch is that the three stripes on the sailor's jumper are supposed to commemor- ate his three great naval victories— St. Vincent, Copenhagen and Trafal- gar._St. Thomas Times-Journal.
Toys For Export
British Firms Making Every Kind Of Soldier For Canadian Children Toy soldiers and miniature war
equipment direct from the war zone
are the latest craze with Canadian children.
One of the reasons is that they have seen the wide range of soldiers taken out by little evacuees from Britain.
But children left behind in Britain are having to go without their toys so that they may be exported to hein’ pay for the war. In London, the world’s largest makers of toy soldiers who use about 500 tons of lead to make upwards of 12,500,000 items 4 year, are now working entirely upon export orders, and many of these are for Canada.
Young Canada is keenly interested in boxes of their own regiments such as the Royal Canadian Dragoons, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Lord Strathcona’s Horse, but they are also buying a wide range of toy soldiers from Greek Evzones to pilots of the German Luf-.waffe.

OF DESTINY

CHAPTER XVIII.
Devona had congratulated herself, | iosity.
in the month since she’d last seen Dale Brasher, that her pride, her Self-respect, her common sense had at last won out over her heart. She despised him, she had told herself dozens of times. And she really be- lieved it. That is, until this moment. Looking again straight into those deep blue eyes, she wasn’t so sure.
‘Good evening, Miss Raebourne,” he said and something like a mask settled over his face. “This is quite a surprise.”’
“Really?” Fighting trembling that spread treacherously over her in chilling tides, she slipped into the chair Macias held for her, let him light her cigarette, order a cocktail.
“Did you hear Dona sing just now?” Macias purred on, beaming quietly as his dark eyes travelled from one to the other, missing noth- ing.
Dale nodded, his lips set grimly. “Yes, I had heard her sing before.”
“Not like that, I'll bet,” Macias persisted.
Dale's blue glance met hers across the little candle-lit table. ‘“No—not like that. voice. I didn’t know she was com- mercializing it.”
Devona shrugged. “Why not? No one is interested in singing senti- mental little ballads in one drawing room after another.”
“No, I suppose not, It’s no doubt much more exciting to” Dale glanced around the crowded room— “enjoy the centre of a spotlight.”
Wincing, Devona tried not to hear the sarcasm in his voice.
“She's learned plenty since she’s been with me,” Macias went on com- placently, obviously enjoying the little scene.
“I can believe that.” twisted wryly.
Devona forced a careless: about time, wasn’t it?”
“Sure. My patrons go for her in a big way.”. Macias waved his cigar at the roomful of pleasure seekers. “She's my biggest attraction now.”
“Congratulations,” Dale her with a little bow. “It’s always

Dale's lifted eyebrow showed he missed none of the implications in that. “And while Vara thinks you are in San Francisco at school you'll

quickly build yourself a career under her nose. Is that the plan?”
“Why not?” she said now, aware that Dale was waiting for an ex- planation. Aware, too, of Macias’ probing black eyes upon her. “Every girl has a right to her career, don’t you think?”
“I suppose so. reputation——”
“Has nothing to do with me,” she interrupted quickly, but not quickly enough to avert Macias’ instant cur-

“What do you mean—‘mother's reputation’ ?” “She’s Vara Vadne's daughter,
didn’t you know?" Dale said care- lessly. ‘Don’t tell me you weren't aware that your protege——”
Macias dark eyes gleamed. “Vara Vadne’s daughter! Why didn’t you tell me? I could use it in adver-
tising you.”
Devona's heart sank. ‘I’m on my own. My mother would not be interested—-would prefer it kept secret, I'm sure.”
“Meaning that you prefer it kept ; secret?"’ Macias smiled, reached for her hand, pressed it possessively. “What ever you wish, my dear.” |
With that, Devona felt the jaws of the trap closing in around her. With every word that she defied Dale, she put herself more completely into Macias’ hands, But there was no choice. She couldn’t—wouldn’t let | Dale see her real feelings. After| all, she’d shown him her heart, once. |
Watching Macias now, Dale seemed only wryly amused at his attitude toward Devona. And Macias was making that attjtude plainer with every word.
“She shall have

her career. I’m seeing to that. All the best people come here. Some of these days, I'm going to help her get into big time. With all the trimmings,” he said con-| fidently, still holding her hand cap-| | tive in his.

But that was the one thing she | couldn't. have, she realized only too| well when Dale smiled again, and said calmly.

sure that nothing stood in the way | of his desire.
And Dale, by his very casual in- difference, was helping to make that plain. ‘
‘And now if you folks will excuse me a moment, I have some details to look after,” Macias said, pushed back from ithe table. ‘Why don’t you two have a dance?”
Dale merely nodded, “Good idea.”
A moment later they were moving toward the crowded dance floor. Once again, Devona felt his arm around her, his cheek close to her forehead. The last time he'd held her close in his arms, she remembered without wanting to, he'd whispered that he loved her, wanted never to lose her.
But if Dale were remembering any of that wonderful, awful last day to- gether, his cool courtesy betrayed none of it.
“So you like your work here?” he asked, obviously making polite small talk.
“Very much.”
“Rather long hours, aren’t they?”
“I love them. It’s so gay, so ex- citing, so—thrilling to meet charm- ing new friends "She couldn't go on with tha‘ awful lie.
“I see. Never a dull moment.”
“Oh, never.”
“And plenty of wealthy patrons to make your contacts—worthwhile?” His lip curled ever so slightly. “I think you’re going to make Vara proud of you, yet.”
Vara again! Devona bit her lip. Maybe every new face was a chal- lenge to Dale Brasher, but his loyalty to Vara Vadne seemed fairly consist- ent.
When the dance ended and they made their way back to the table, Macias was waiting for them.
“T'll have to skip along now, Jose,” Dale told hint, putting Devona in her chair. “Thanks for the dance, Miss Raebourne. And let us know when you make your first million. We'll drink to your success in champagne.
“She doesn’t need to make a mil- lion,” Macias said placidly. ‘“She’s worth that now—to me.”
Bought, paid for, labeled—Devona felt the trap close. The preliminary skirmishes were over. The battle was on. She saw it in Macias’ dark} eyes, heard it in his voice. He'd only been biding his time up to now. But —convinced that Dale had no further claim—he'd begin closing in now.
“I can see that,’’ Dale said dryly. “Good night.”
Tears pressed into the corners of her eyes and a shameless little cry for help pushed into her throat. Don’t go, Dale. ‘Please. Or take me with you, then, her heart begged silently, But her pride kept her smile in place, her head high, “Good night.”
“T’ll see you out, Brasher,” Macias said as he pushed back from the table. “Little business matter I want to talk over with you.”
“Cer_ainly.”
Then, while Dale was still within earshot: “Come to my office, Dona, | when you've finished your last num- ber. I'm driving you home tonight.”
Mute, Devona nodded, wondered if | the terror she felt already showed yet in her face. ‘How nice. Thanks,”
Dale's glance met hers for an in-
stant before he turned, walked! | swiftly toward that same office. An ins.ant of strange tension, during
which scorn fought with indifference in his eyes—and the indifference won! What she did, what happened to her, was none of his concern, his manner said only too plainly. She was making her own bed—let her lie in it.
Eyes blurred with ‘tears, she watch- | ed that dear, dark head towering | over Macias’ until they disappeared into the lobby. Why should she care so terribly when he cared—so litile. Life was funny—life was—impos- sible.
Then she heard Manuel's signaling chords on the piano. Time to work
again. She joined the strolling| troubadours, whisking tears out of her eyes, setting her smile on her
lips as if it were part of her cos-! tume. Impossible or not, there) wasn’t much to do about life except go on living it!
When, reluctantly, they finished the last encore, she turned toward Macia's office, drew a long breath.
“‘Smatter, kid?” Manuel at her) elbow, tucked his guitar into its case. | “You look scared stiff. Anything) wrong?”
She shook her head. ‘“No—not yet!” and shrugged a little laugh at} him, mostly to prove to herself that. she could.

“Look here.” He studied her face anxiously. “If you're in a jam, just let me know. I'll get you ou‘.”
Devona smiled. Good old Manuel. He would try to help her and lose! his own job in the process. Besides, no one could help now. This was once }
more when she had to stand alone. “No, thanks. I’m all right. Just tired.”

The safe, she noticed without really | intending to, was full of little square | white boxes.
And bundles of cur- rency rolled together with elastic bands. Idly, she wondered how much
money was tucked away in there, and why he preferred to keep it there in- stead of in a bank. Probably, Macias was just money-lover enough to en- joy having his wealth where he could count it, admire it, touch it with those long, brown fingers.
She was still staring when Macias turned toward her. Flushing a little under the swift, hard look he gave her, the almost insulting vigor with which he slammed the safe shut,

“I'm still, staying at the Brown- stone,” she said, chattily, trying to hide her mounting nervousness even from herself. “It’s three blocks down and then up to Main St.”
“Yes, I know.” He turned the car out of the dark alley into the blazing corridor of lights

POLIOMYELITIS--Infantile Paralysis
As a result of the present outbreak of Poliomyelitis in different parts of the Province, the Provincial Board of Health wishes to bring the following information to the attention of all resi- dents of the Province,
Poliomyelitis is transmitted by con- tact, the infectious agent being pres- ent in the discharges from the nose and throat and in some cases in the discharges from the intestinal tract as well.
The name “Infantile Paralysis” is a misnomer, A large numberof cases of the disease are being reported which are abortive in type, Such cases re- cover in a few days without any par- alysis of any kind. Many of these cases resemble ordinary Grippe and some have been diagnosed as Intesti- nal Influenza, These are most danyer- ous cases in so far as the spread of infection is concerned, It is therefore a matter of vital importance that all such mild abortive cases. should be seen by a physician at the onset, and isolated at once,
Persons may harbor the cause of the infection in the nose and throat with- out themselves developing the disease, These “carriers” as they are termed, may be a real source of infection to others,
The most effective means of pre- venting the spread of Infantile Para- lysis is to keep children entirely by
themselves, within their own yard. They are likely to be much safer there than if taken to some other
point either within or without the pro- vince where one has no knowledge as to what local conditions with respect to the disease are now or may become,
Children giving evidence of any sickness of any kind or any departure from normal health should be put to bed at once and medical advice promp. tly obtained, Keen all such eases in bed until the attending physician con- siders it safe for them to get up.
All patients suffering from the dis- ease are required to be quarantined for a period of three weeks from the onset, The neriod of quarantine for contacts with cases is two weeks,
The co-overation of all narents is strongly urged in saferuarding their children from risk of infection, The Provincial Board is of the opinion that where cases or suspected cases of Pol- iomyelitis have develoned, operations for the removal of tonsils and adenoids should be deferred until such time as the pres*nt outbreak has abated,

A MESSAGE...
To Alberta Farmers
The suggestion is offered to Alberta grain producers that wherever possible they should deliver their grain to Alberta Pool Elevators, thus strengthening and
building up a purely co-operative organization owned and operated by Alberta farmers.
Alberta Pool Elevators has been singularly successful in developing on co- operative principles the largest grain handling organization in the province; establishing an equitable and fair standard of service for the benefit of all farmers; and in obtaining, in conjunction with its sister Pools in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, through constant contact and intercession with the government of Canada, a measure of price protection and other benefits for the farmers of the western provinces.
It is of the utmost importance at the pres- ent time that farmers should have a strong organization to speak for them. The greatest weakness of the farmers’ position, from an eco- nomic standpoint, is individualism. Farmers must unite if they are to escape being completely submerged. A
The Wheat Poo! offers a natural rallying voint for the farmers, Being founded on true co-operative principles, it is not concerned with nolitics, religion or national origins.
Every individual farmer is welcome to the vanks of patrons of Pool Elevators. It has only one objective, namely, the welfare of agriculture.
Why continue to contribute to the support of capitalistic organizations whose only concern is profit for themselves?
Why not arouse yourselves and support an
organization whose one concern is improvement of the lot of the farm family! :
