Features\u2014Resembles Sea War.Government and University Leaders Join in Centennial Celebrations for Birth of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.London, Nov.20.\u2014Prime Minister Churchill declared today that Britain\u2019s long-awaited big push across North Africa, sprung out of the Egyptian dawn two days ago, already had won positions of \u201cmarked advantage\u201d and that the major test \u201ccannot be long delayed.\u201d Weighing his words with cautious optimism, the Prime Minister told the House of Commons: \u201cIt is far too soon to indulge in any exaltation.All now depends on the battle which follows.It is evident that the next few days will see developments which will include many highly interesting features.\u201d He said Britain waited, planned ind massed her strength for five months before unleashing the assault.\u201cThis,\u201d he declared, \u201cis the first time we have met the Germans at least equally well armed.\u201d He said that the purpose of the campaign was to destroy the German and Italian armies in Libya in a huge-scale battle of mechanization.He told the cheering House that the British forces caught their foes by surprise and added that, just as in a sea battle, the desert campaign \u201cmay be settled one way or another in the course of a few hours.\u201d The offensive had been long and elaborately prepared, he declared.\u201cWe have waited for nearly five months in order that our army will be well equipped with all weapons that have made their mark in this new war,\u201d he said.\u201cThere is nothing in the world quite like the war conditions prevailing in the Libyan desert, in which swift and far ranging movements are only possible by the extraordinary use of armor, air power and mechanization,\u201d he said.\u201cI do not know whether the trial of strength has vet taken place between heavy armored forces but it cannot be long delayed.\u201d Another authoritative source said j COAST GUARD FREES LINER CORDOVA FROM ROCKS Seattle, Nov.20.\u2014(IP) \u2014 A Coast Guard cutter today pulled the 2,098-ton pasenger liner Cordova free from the Alaskan reef where she grounded while en route from Juneau to Ketchikan.The Cordova, refloated at high tide, proceeded to Ketchikan in the company of two Coast Guard vessels and an army transport which had taken aboard the little liner\u2019s passengers.COSTS UP\u2014WAGES

Nov.20.\u2014CP)\u2014Government and university leaders gathered in this little French-Canadian village thirty-five miles Northeast of Montreal today to mar* the lOUth anniversary of a great statesman of former years, Sir Wilfrid Laurier.Prime Minister Mackenzie King led a large delegation of Federal Government members, while Lieutenant-Governor Sir Eugene Fiset and Premier Godbout headed a Provincial Government group to ceremonies that will dedicate the house in which Sir Wilfrid was born, as a National Historic Site.An air of uneasiness was added to the ceremonies because of the absence of one scheduled to have played a big part in ceremonies to honor a man often regarded as his predecessor in Canadian political life.Justice Minister Lapointe, who followed Sir Wilfrid as spokesman for French Canada, remained in critical condition in hospital in Montreal after a two-weeks\u2019 illness.The ceremonies w-ill he held in the old Laurier house, a five-roomed brick home that was acquired by the Continued on Page 2, Col.4.Japanese Interest Focussed On Washington As Diet Nears Close Tokyo, Nov.20.\u2014\u2014The special session of the Diet which opened Sunday cleaned its slate of business in both Houses today in preparation for the formal closing ceremony tomorrow.Japanese attention was focused on Washington, where Japan\u2019s representatives and State Secretary Hull are conducting discussions which the newspaper Yomiuri termed \u201cthe key to Pacific war or peace.\u201d Yomiuri declared the issue probably would be decided in the next one or two sessions.Referring to Navy Minister Shige-taro Shimada's statement before the Diet That Japanese forces were prepared for any eventuality, the newspaper said \u201cWe have nothing to do but await results of the Washington conference.\u201d Foreign Minister Shigenori Togo had an audience with Emperor Hiro-hito.CLAIMS APPEASEMENT POSSIBLE Washington, Nov.20.\u2014(/P)\u2014Senator Gerald Nye (Rep., North Dakota), said today he was convinced the United States could end the Siro-Japanese war on a satisfactory basis and prevent further hostilities in the Pacific if it was willing to \u201chelp Japan save her face\u201d by agreeing to relatively minor concessions for Japan in China.\u201cThe trouble is.\u201d he told reporters, \u201cthat the administration doesn\u2019t want, to settle this thing because it is largely responsible for any war fever that may be'felt in this country now.\u201d Nye, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, voiced the belief that most of the tension in the Orient could be eliminated by countenancing the establishment of Japanese air bases at two or three points in China, such as Shanghai, where she has had territorial rights for years.But Nye\u2019s appraisal of the situation was not shared by one of his Republican colleagues, Senator Styles Bridges, of New Hampshire, who has supported the Administration\u2019s foreign policies.\u201cI don\u2019t think there is anything to be gained by trying to appease the Japanese,\u201d Bridges declared.\u201cWe have to be firm with them\u2014it\u2019s the only language they know.Two or three air bases in China wouldn\u2019t satisfy them.\u201d The latest, series of United States-Japanese diplomatic conversations, meanwhile, were at a standstill.Tokyo\u2019s flying special envoy, Saburo Kurusu, and Ambassador Kichisa-buro Nomura awaited further instructions from their Government before resuming the talks with Secretary Hull.There was no indication how soon the exchange of views would be renewed.Washington Warns Against Closer Vichy Tie To Reich United States Declares that Government Will Have to Make Complete Restudy of Relations to France in Event of

French regime was moving toward closer collaboration with Germany.The notice carried a frank warn-; ing, informed sources said, which in-: timated that severance of diplomat-i ie relations was a

part of the day.Sixteen States were foregoing their holiday turkey until the regular time a week from today.The entire country will revert to the last Thursday in the month after this, year, the President having decided j the wider spread between Thanks- ' giving and Christmas meant little or no increase in business for retail merchants who had proposed the experiment.The President remained on the job to watch the coal strike developments.It was the first Thanksgiving he had spent in Washington since 1937.If the strike situation permits he will go to the Warm Springs, Ga., Infantile

Tikhvin last Sunday, the paper said.Leningrad was reported still in railroad communication with the Russian interior.The situation remains tense in the Volkhov sector, Red Star said, with the Germans gathering reserves for a new offensive.Repeated Russian counter-attacks in the Tikhvin sector, some executed by Red army tanks, were reported to have dislodged the Germans from several settlements.Fierce fighting continued near the approaches to Leningrad, where the Russians persisted in counter-attacks in the face of heavy German artillery and mortar fire from a strongly fortified'point, it was stated.New British Continued from Page One ed at getting around the powerfully-defended Axis border fortress of Bardia\u2014and perhaps forming an early juncture with the

conditions, \u201cit is correct to say the maximum has been reached,\u201d he added.This is the new Eighth Army or Army of the West, formed when the old Army of the Nile was split.One section remained in the desert while the other under Lt.-Gen.Sir Henry Maitland Wilson became the Army of the North in Syria and Palestine.Both are under Gen.Sir Claude J.E.Auchinleek, commander-in-chief for the

had great distances to cover.\u201cGen.Sir Claude Auchinleek and Lt.-Gen.Sir Alan Gordon Cunningham have made a brilliant and successful strategic approach and have gained positions of marked advantage.\u201cAll now depends on the battle which follows, \u201cIt is evident that the next few days will see developments which will include many highly interesting features.\u201d Roosevelt

Youth Before Court On Charge Of Refusing To Report For Training Bom in Canada of French parents, a 21-year-old Windsor Mills youth who was turned down by the R.C.A.F.before the fall of France and who is now before the courts on a charge of failing to report for compulsory military training, is the central figure in one of the most unusual cases to come before the local tribunal since the outbreak of the war, At the present time the boy has no objection against reporting for military training but objects to a conviction on the charge of failing to report, while the accused\u2019s father is opposed to his boy swearing al legiance to His Majesty tbe King on the grounds that it might result in the confiscation of certain interests which he has in Vichy-controlled France, Furthermore, the father contends that the time may come when England will invade France and he does not want his son to be called upon to fight against his fellow-Freneh-men \u201clike it happened in Syria.\u2019\u2019 Because the case was held behind closed doors and the difficulty in confirming all the angles, the name of the accused is omitted, but according to information obtained today this is the story.As mentioned above, the boy was bom in Canada of French parents and as such had the right to make an option to retain his French citizenship or become a British subject.As he did not make an option, he automatically became a British subject and as such was subject to military training when he reached the age of 21.The youth received his notice to report for medical examination, which he did, but did not report when he was called for training.Arrested by officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who are charged with picking up delinquent draftees, the accused pleaded not guilty and at first claimed that he was not subject to the Canadian law.It was pointed out by the Court and by Albert Rivard, counsel for the department, that the accused was a British subject according to law as he had not made an option to retain his French citizenship which he inherited from his parents.It was then argued by the defence that prior to the Fall of France and the signing of a separate peace between Germany and Vichy, the boy had volunteered for the Royal Canadian Air Force but had been turned down because of his father\u2019s nationality.The boy\u2019s argument was that \u201cifi *- STILL NO TRACE OF EAST ANGUS MAN East Angus, Nov.20.\u2014Determined efforts to find Henry Reilly, 77-year-old local man, who is believed dead somewhere in the Stoke woods, were still fruitless today, but a group of searchers with a trained dog of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, are still at work combing the large wooded area.Reilly has been unreported since he left his home on Tuesday, November 4th, to spend a few days alone hunting in the vicinity of Porcupine camp, about three and a half miles from this town.I wasn\u2019t good enough for the Air Force because my father was a Frenchmen then my father is still a Frenchman so I can\u2019t > good enough for the infantry.\u2019\u2019 When the father and son were convinced that the boy was subject to military training, the father still objected on the grounds that his son might be called upon to fight against fellow-Frenchmen b .Mr.Rivard pointed out that he was not obliged to sign up for active service Overseas but that service in Canada was obligatory.The father then inquired whether or not the son would have to take an oath of allegiance to the King and he was told that as a member of His Majesty\u2019s armed forces he would naturally have to swear allegiance.The father strongly objected to this, claiming that Frenchmen were forbidden by Vichy to join any army and that if his son did so, certain interests which he had in France might be confiscated.\u201cAs a member of the Canadian Army he will be called upon to follow the rules and regulations like the rest of the troops,\u201d Mr.Rivard told the father.\u201cIf he fails to comply he will have to suffer the consequences.\u201d That is how the case stands at the present time and Judge J.H.Lemay is trying to find a solution which will settle the matter to the satisfaction of all concerned.Judgment in the case is expected within the next two weeks.CONTINUE FLOW OF GOODS FOR BOVS OVERSEAS Executive of 35th Battery Association Authorizes | L;

two grandsons, Gordon and Keith Thomas, a daughter-in-lav/, Mrs.W.D.Thomas, several sisters, nieces and nephews who have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.Accused of having committed perjury while giving evidence in a civil court action insttiuted by his son, Georges Langlois, 60-year-old farmer of La Patrie, was committed for trial before the Court of King\u2019s Bench by Judge J.H.Lemay in Magistrate\u2019s Court yesterday afternoon.Langlois was released on |500 bail and the trial will probably be heard at the current term of the higher court.The charge of perjury heard against the elder Langlois is the sequel to a series of litigations between the accused and his son on one side and the Corporation of the Municipality of La Patrie and farmers of the district on the other over the disposal of sewage from farms on the higher level of the municipality.In the civil action taken against the municipality and a number of farmers, it was alleged by Langlois that the farmers allowed the sewage to run into a stream which traversed his property, causing him con-\u2018 I siderable damage and preventing his j cattle from watering in this brook.The younger Langlois asked the Court to issue an order forbidding the farmers from dumping their sewage into the brook and in the event of their failing to comply with the court order that they each be assessed two thousand dollars damage.As all the civil actions were based on the same facts a test case was made of the Langlois suit against Georges Turcotte, operator of a creamery,.and it was in this case that it was alleged the elder Langlois committed perjury.It was alleged by the complainant that Langlois in his testimony cate- gorically denied ever having made any demand upon the municipality for any specific amount of money in settlement of the damages which he claimed and it was charged that he had done so on several occasions.After C.E.Bachtand, Prothonotarv of the Superior Court, and L\u201e J.Begin, Court stenographer, had testified that Langlois had been duly sworn when he gave his evidence, Ivan Sabourin, K.C., counsel for the prosecution, called Ernest Jette.Mayor of La Patrie, who identified a letter written by the accused to the municipality in which he said that some settlement of the litigation should be made and declared that his lawyers had suggested an amount of $5,000 as a fair arrangement.Mayor Jette said ho had told the accused that the councillors had declined to consider any such settlement.Questioned by Mr.Sabourin, Mayor Jette said that on another occasion Langlois had told him verbally that he was willing to settle the whole matter for an annual grant of $360.The only other witness called for the prosecution was Joseph Drolet, a member of the Council of La Patrie, who testified that on one occasion Langlois had told him that \u201cif it had not been for Jette the whole question could have been settled long ago.\u201d Deciding that the accused would hava an opportunity of \u201cexplaining his case to the jurors,\u201d Judge Lemay committed him for trial before the Court of King\u2019s Bench.Evender Veilleux represented the accused.Wood

expected this afternoon.In defence, the accused claimed that Miss Allaire had furnished the money for the purchase of the service station to \u201cput him on his feet.\u201d Witnesses for the defence said that they became estranged about a month after the purchase of the station.It is claimed by Miss Allaire that Cyr sold some of the equipment of the station after she had given formal orders against disposal of any of the stock.Albert Mercier, who is charged with the same offence but who will be tried separately, said that he had worked for Cyr at the station and that all the business had been conducted in Cyr\u2019s name.Cesaire Gervais, K.C., is acting for the Crown and Roland Dugre is representing the accused.time, St.Vincent de Paul Hospital authorities said today.The girl, who

men of the Canadian Armed Forces Overseas who will broadcast to Canada in the \u201cLetters From Britain\u201d programme Saturday, it was announced today by National Defence Headquarters.The men will be heard over a national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from 5.30 to 6 p.m., E.D.T.A meeting of wood merchants of the City of Sherbrooke will be held in the near future when the question of asking the city to institute some by-law governing the sale of firewood along the same lines ns the regulations governing the sale of coal will be discussed .The merchants have received a number of complaints from purchasers who contend they are not receiving full measure and it is with the object, of avoiding such complaints that some legal supervision is demanded.In the majority of cases, it is pointed out, the fault does not rest with the merchant as in a number of cases the purchaser does not check the load until considerable time after the delivery with the result that if any wood has been stolen in the interim the blame is unjustly placed on the shoulders of the merchant.Just what type of regulation will be demanded of the city has not been decided as yet but it is generally believed that the only possible method would be to have the wood measured by a city inspector, probably the same party who now weighs coal deliveries at the public scale.Should the plan meet the approval of all the merchants and action is taken by the city to institute such a by-law, cost of the operation will bo passed on to the 'consumer by the merchants.The additional cost will be negligible in return for the guarantee which the purchaser will have that he is receiving a full load.Such a move received the approval of Judge J.H.Lemay in a recent Court case in which a purchaser sought to recover $14 which he had paid for wood which he had not received.It was pointed out by the Judge that merchants outside the city usually lost a considerable portion of their load while bringing wood into the city and that while there was no intention to defraud on the part of the seller, the consumer nevertheless did not receive the full measure for which he paid.All African Bushmen pray to the moon and other celestial bodies, and have an extensive series of myths and legends relating to them.A city-wide search is being made by Sherbrooke police for one of the smoothest, sneak thieves to operate in this district for many years and who to date has successfully bur-jglarized between twenty and thirty local residences, obtaining amounts varying between a few dollars and one hundred dollars.Although the police have been keeping a strict lookout for him during the past month they have been unable to trail him or find any clue which might lend to his arrest.Last night, he broke into the home of Louis Echenberg, Magog Street, but although he ransacked the house nothing was missing.It was also reported that he broke into another house on Portland Avenue last night but the police did not have the complete report on this case.According to the police, the thief has not as yet been obliged to actually break into a house by using force.He usually carefully removes the double windows and places them on the ground beside the window and then opens the inner window with little difficulty, Failure of the police to discover any fingerprints leads them to believe he is using gloves and wears soft-soled shoes because in one case he went through purses left in a bedroom while twenty-five people were playing cards in an adjoining room.So far ho has taken only cash, leaving behind any jewelry, trinkets or checks which he found in the women\u2019s purses.One of his victims.Octave Gagne, 14 Minto Street, lost fifteen dollars which his daughter had collected during the Federated Catholic Charities campaign.I It was at the home of A.W.Kerridge, 130 Victoria Street, that l he broke into a bedroom and ran-| sacked about thirty purses whicli ; guests had left with their clothes.I.Among some of the other homes ] in which the thief made successful raids were those of Dr.Gadbois, Brooks Street, Oscar Nault, Gordon 'Street, George St.Pierre, 86 Court Street, ('apt.the Rev.W.R.North-ridge, 68 Portland Avenue and N.B.Prichard, 121 Quebec Street.Last night the police received a j report around 10.30 that a man was seen on the fire-escape of the Parthenon Apartments and Capt.Omer Daudelin, accompanied by eight officers, surrounded the building.A search was made or.the roof and in the apartments but no trace of the man could be found.The police are convinced that the man works as a \u201clone wolf\u201d and keeps a check on the society columns to find out when meetings or parties are being held because, he has turned up at a number of these gatherings and made a good haul in each ease.TOUGH ON SERGEANT-MAJORS Aldershot Camp, N.S., Nov.20.\u2014\u2022 (CP)\u2014-Every time a soldier swears in this military camp another cent, is added to

important shift in the command of the armed forces, many transfers which appear demotions often proving just the reverse as events develop.But two names do command particular attention in the latest shake-up, those of Lt.-Gen.Henry R.Pownall who gave up the post of Vice-chief of the Imperial General Staff to take over an undisclosed job, and Maj.-Gen.Archibald Edward Nye who has jumped over the heads of many general officers to become Vice-chief.General Pownall is \u201crequired for an important appointment which will be announced before long,\u201d it was stated, and speculation on what his appointment, will be and whether it involves a field command is not encouraged in London.But his record shows he has had much service in the Northwestern Frontier of India, an area that can yet become a battlefield or supply line in this war.General Nye, who receives a promotion unusual for an officer of his rank, is only forty-six.He has been Director of Staff Duties at the War Office.His qualifications are not known to the general public but obviously he must have made his mark in the army while advancing so rapidly to the top between the days of the First Great War, and now.Only once in British military history has a man risen from private to Chief of the General Staff\u2014Field Marsha! Sir William Robertson accomplished it\u2014and General Nye bids fair to equal that record before his career is finished.The new Chief of General Staff, Sir Alan Brooke, is one of the talented soldiers that Ulster produces so consistently.Turning his attention to mechanized warfare, he has become a recognized specialist in tanks, gunnery and anti-aircraft defence.As Com-mander-in-Chief of the Home Forces during the past year and a half he won the respect of the army, including the Canadian Corps which under Lt.-Gen.A.G.L.McNaughton makes up a part of the command which General Brooke now relinquishes to Lt.-Gen.B.C.T.Paget.The post of Chief of General Staff has since Dunkerque been in the hands of Gen.Sir John Dill, another fighting Irishman from Ulster who took over from Field Marshal Lord Ironside at the lowest ebb in military strength in modern history.Britain\u2019s troops, but not Britain\u2019s army, had poured back, weaponless and disorganized from the sands of Dunkerque.An invasion threat appeared imminent and the only well-equipped division in all Britain in that desperate month is reported to have been the 1st Canadian.Under Dill, Brooke, Pownall and Viscount Gort, then Inspector-General of the Forces and now Governor of Gibraltar, the new army began to emerge.But while building at home, General Dill as Chief of Staff had the rest of the Empire to watch and he, with the cabinet, took the responsibility of moving soldiers from threatened Britain to Egypt to face! the then truculent Mussolini.He accompanied Foreign Secretary Eden on a tour of the Middle East.Under bis direction were the campaigns in Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran.New General Dill becomes Field Marshal and goes to Bombay as Governor.Testing posts, the Indian governorships have frequently been stepping slones to higher responsibilities, the most recent instance having been Sir John Anderson, former Governor of Bengal, who at the start of the war was Î Home Secretary and now is Lord President of the Council and a member of the War Cabinet.the United States preferring to name the possible aggressor and give a clear outline of his possible plans, rather than intimate that somebody is perhaps thinking about doing something somewhere.And the change in the diplomatic tone is accompanied by a strengthening of the military and naval position of the two nations.Britain has been moving troops from all parts of the Empire to the Far Eastern bases, British, Indian and Australian detachments arriving in Singapore and Malaya with startling regularity, while the despatch of a number of Canadian units to Hong Kong gives Canada its true place in the Pacific picture.Coupled together, all signs point that the democracies have come to the end of their appeasement tether and that in the future the major powers concerned, the British Commonwealth, the United States, the Netherlands East Indies and China will present a united front against Japanese aggression and that if the latter country hopes to start trouble in the region or plans to take a blow at Russia, it will find itself opposed by one of the greatest-military machines ever concentrated in the Western Pacific.TIMELY COMMENTS PRESS COMMENTS THE LAURIER CENTENARY The village of St.Lin, in the Laurentian mountains a short distance North of Montreal, is the scene today of the Laurier centennial celebrations, marking the hundredth anniversary of the birth of one of the outstanding statesmen of Canada.The ceremonies are being attended by Prime Minister Mackenzie King and Premier Adelard Godbout as well as many other leaders in the public life of Canada.In many ways, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, for fifteen years Prime Minister of Canada, held a unique place in Canadian history.The only member of a minority race to take the highest office in the gift of the Canadian people, he was one of the leading exponents of Canadian unity and did more than any other individual to bring the two major races of the country together.He lias admirers and supporters in all parts of the country and among all races and creeds.He was a strong proponent of closer Empire trade relations, being responsible for the first system of Imperial preference agreements, while at the same time lie sought to break down the tariff barriers separating Canada and the United States, his last term of office ending in 1911 with the defeat of his Government on the reciprocity agreement.Sir Wilfrid was more than a political leader.He was a great national leader and his life should be held as an inspiration to every loyal Canadian.EDITOR\u2019S NOTE-BOOK Side-stepping only gets you farther away from where you are going.* * * Everybody loves a fat man\u2014dressed like Santa.?* * Saying fur animals come

fostered no less than by President Roosevelt, the United States passed its Neutrality Act.The teeth of that Act have now been drawn; its vicious appeasement clauses eliminated.President Roosevelt has given full and frank admission of his error in judgment and discretion in first promoting that Act.He has admitted his mistake and has also rectified it.In Canada there is a Prime Minister not moved at all by the forward march of events, nor by the exigencies of this cruel war.He stands where he has always stood, against equal service by all and against any form of compulsion.He stands by and for the Liberal party, which has indoctrinated into it the principle that it must hold Quebec.And yet there is reason to believe a great percentage of Quebec people, perhaps even the majority, are being misrepresented by this intransigient attitude of the Prime Minister.It hag always been assumed since 1917 that Quebec would never take conscription.That has been meat for the Liberal politicians.They are still feeding on it.But is it really so in this new war, this war against all the savagery and unholy manifestations of Nazism?There is not a Roman Catholic priest in Quebec, and it is the priest who guides the people and forms their thoughts, who does not realize what Hitlerism will mean to this world.Visitors in Quebec Province, also many writers of note, have in recent months formed the conclusion that selective service would meet general approval there.It has been a first enquiry by many, just to find out how the Québécois stood on the question of national service.They have been surprised at the answers received.It will be of great interest to have an intelligent survey made, and it will be a greater thing if this Quebec anti-conscription bogey can be laid at rest for all time.HAVE A SMILE A doctor and a dentist shaved the services of a typist, and both fell in love with her.The dentist was called away on business, so he sent for the typist and said, \"I\u2019m going to be away for ten days.You\u2019ll find a little present in your room.\u2019 She went in, and found ten apples.\u201cHave you heard about Jenny going to a fortune-teller?\u201d asked the girl in the green turban.\u201cNo; what?\u2019\u2019 replied the one with toeless sandals eagerly.\"Well, she wanted to find out when it would be best for her to get married,\" \u201cAnd what did he say?\" \u201cWell, he took one look at her and told her to take the first chance.\u201d Bump: \u201cHas your wife learned to drive the ear yet?\" Bumper: \u201cYes.In an advisory capacity.\u2019\u2019 \u201cWhat did your father say about you smashing up his car?\u201d \u201cShall I leave out the swear words.\u201d \u201cCertainly.\u201d \u201cThen he didn\u2019t say anything.\u201d A girl in the bus took her powder puff from her handbag and began powderingherface.Then she tookout her lipstick and made up the curves of her lips.Still not content with her appearance, she devoted a little attention to her eyebrows.This beauty treatment was evidently too much for the bus conductor, who had been watching her every movement, and he suddenly called out: \u201cAny gent \u2019ere like to borrow my shaving tackle?\" BACON FOR BRITAIN Ann Rutherford, in the Stratford Beacon-Herald Bacon and ham are being sent over to Britain in increasing quantities, as Canadian producers get into their stride.Such emphasis has been placed on the need for such food that the other parts of pork have been decidedly neglected.People got the idea they should stop eating pork in order to send more across the seas.That idea would not work, for there are many cuts which are not suitable I for shipping but which afford per-i feet means right here.1 There are spare ribs, for example.| They could not be shipped out.They belong right here, with or without a filling of sauerkraut to bring out that delicious flavor.There\u2019s pork tenderloin, a meat fit for a King.Neat squares of it, suitably dressed, are equally at home on the banquet table or at dinner in the kitchen, It doesn\u2019t g to Britain.And what about pig\u2019s feet?And hocks?Pickled trotters may not look enticing, but they have within them that certain something which defies description.They are, in the best sense of the word, toothsome, whether the tooth be natural or store variety.Sausages need no brief from any one.Served au naturel with apple rings, with tomato slices, with ketchup or relish or plain mustard, they take second place to no meat at breakfast, dinner or supper.Little sausages or big ones, flanked by scalloped potatoes or baking powder biscuits\u2014ah me! The flavor lingers! Last but not least, there\u2019s headcheese.It\u2019s messy stuff in the making, but the end justifies the means.The ugly head, resolved into its meaty parts and moulded into a quivering jelly was a standby in pioneer times.It helped to nourish brawny men and noble women.It does the same nowadays, when it gets the chance.There are those who claim it is quite the choicest of all pork tidbits.We\u2019d hardly go as far as that.Suffice it to remark that nectar and ambrosia wouldn\u2019t stand a chance on a cold winter\u2019s evening in the lamplight when the headcheese is set out on the table in all its glory.Canada\u2019s postal system developed from a post office established in Halifax in 1775, six years after that city was founded.Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands ascended the throne in 1890 when she was 10 years old.There are about 12,550 post offices in Canada.Light travels\t5,865,69, Calcium, Phosphorus and Iron.Now in the light of the latest knowledge of nutritional science, it.has been enhanced in all these elements.Thus the New, Improved Ovaitine is of even greater value as a restorative food drink.So if you are a poor sleeper, or waken tired or dull, why not turn to Ovaitine at bedtime?See if you do not wake up more refreshed, clear-eyed and joyously alive! r -MAIL FOR FREE SAMPLE\u2014-1 A.Wander Limited, Dept.49 Peterborough, Ont.I'lcaae Bend me a Free sample of New, Improved ( tvaltine and informative pamphlet on its nutritional values.(One sample to a person.) |\t«4 ddreif.f Cur.Province.NEW, IMPROVED Ova/tUté, I BEST GIFTS ON RECORD!

Group.Richmond, Nov.20.\u2014A splendid entertainment was held under the auspices of the Young People\u2019s Union of the Riahmond and Melbourne United Church at the College Street Church Hall.The programme opened with the singing of Newfoundland\u2019s National Anthem by the Y.P.U.Rev.S.G.Woolfrey then gave a lecture on \u201cNewfoundland,\u201d his homeland and where he and Mrs.Woolfrey visited during the summer.This talk was accompanied by slides.Rev.Woolfrey divided his lectures under four headings: habits of the Newfoundlanders, cod fishing, whaling, and scenery of the
