Southern Tip of Peninsula \u2014 Drive Advances Twelve Miles.CANADIAN PEOPLE TO OBSERVE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER Ottawa, Sept, 4\u2014XI1)\u2014Thousands of Canadians in churches, homes and military camps tomorrow will pray for victory and peace in observing a National Day of Prayer designated for September 5th in a proclamation issued by the Governor-General.Allied Headquarters, North Afri ca, Sept.4.\u2014(A5) \u2014 Allied ships continued to pour supplies and reinforcements into Southern Italy today as headquarters announced the initial British-'Canadian landing forces had captured Reggio Calabria and San Giovanni and aver» making good progress inland.(The German radio reported that another landing had been made yesterday between Cape Spartivento and Melito on the Southern tip of the peninsula about fifteen miles below Reggio Calabria).An Allied naval communique today laid that \u201cby early Friday afternoon a second series of ships was leaving across the Straits with reinforcements and supplies.This work continues.\u201d Capture of San Giovanni was announced in a communique on ground operations, which reported that a large number of prisoners had been taken.The bulletin said that \u201crelatively weak opposition,\u2019\u2019 had been encountered by British and Canadian troops of the 8th Amy which spearheaded the invasion.(In London, the Daily Express said this morning that the invading ,anes were b ht down b u force had enlarged Rs bridgeheads ^rcraft batteries and fighters the broadcast claimed.\u201cBombers dropped bombs over the city and the

Is Too Late for Allies to Stage All-Out Invasion of Western Europe.By FOSTER BARCLAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Sept.4.\u2014(C.P.Cable)\u2014 Unless extraordinary developments occur within the next few weeks, it is believed a full-scale invasion of Europe across the English Channel is not among the planned Allied offensives this year.As British and Canadian troops established a bridge head on the toe of Italy, there was much speculation in unofficial circles here concerning a possible attack through Northern France and the Low Countries.Continued on page 2.column 3.Berlin Again Feels Concentrated Attack Of British Night Raiders to a depth of ten miles at some places.\u201d (\u201cThe advance,\u201d the Express added, \u201cwas continuing in a Northerly direction toward the first substantial Axis defences near Palmi, more than twenty miles by road from the landing beaches at Reggio Calabria.\u201d (A Berlin broadcast yesterday indicated Reggio Calabria and Scilla, twelve miles to the North, both had fallen in the early hours of the invasion.Rome admitted the Allied forces were \u201ctaking full advantage\u201d of their \u201cmaterial superiority.\u201d) One factor in the new' campaign appeared indisputable.Allied airmen held virtually unchallenged sway in the skies.In a personal message to his British and Canadian troops as they left Sicily before daylight yesterday, Gen.Sir Bernard Montgomery urged his famous command into the fight \u201cto knock Italy out of the war\u201d and declared: \u201cWe have a good plan and air support on a greater scale than we ever had before.\u201d This air attack, smashed bridges, tore up rails and blasted roadbeds, and created havoc in freight yards in three major cities along the Brenner Pas® route.Continued on Pag» Î, Col.8 London, Sept.4-\u2014XW \u2014 A great force of R.A.F.and Canadian heavy bombers unloaded 1,000 tons of bombs on battered Berlin last night in the space of twenty minutes, the Air Ministry announced today.Twenty-two bombers weres lost in the night\u2019s work which in addition to the attack on Berlin by a \u201cstrong force\u201d of Lancasters, included attacks on other objectives in the Rhineland, airfields in France, and extensive minelaying, the Air Ministry said.The bulletin reported that the Berlin raiders encountered \u201cthick clouds along the route,\u201d but said that over the target the sky was clear.\u201d The German radio as usual described the attack on Berlin as a \u201cterror raid\u201d but acknowledged that some damage and fires resulted.\u201cA considerable number\u201d of British CONGRATULATIONS Acceptance Of Atlantic Charter as residential quarters, hospitals, churches and other cultural monuments were hit and destroyed.\u201d Associated Press dispatches from Stockholm, meanwhile said that large numbers of foreign warplanes \u2014 presumably R.A.F.bombers returning from the attack on Berlin\u2014had passed over the Southern tip of Sweden during the night, drawing the heaviest barrage of the war from Swedish anti-aircraft batteries, One plane was said to have crashed in flames to the summer residence of the Crown Prince just across the Strait from Denmark.The assault culminated a day of Allied aerial activity which included a full-scale raid by American heavy bombers upon the Caudron-Renault aircraft plant on the outskirts of Paris and attack by other American units escorted by R.C.A.F.fighters upon five Nazi air fields in France, including Romilly-sur-Seine.A Vichy broadcast recorded by the Associated Press said that many fires

programme \u201cto make effective the provisions of the Atlantic Charter,\u201d and referred it to the Executive Committee for editing.The report was presented to the B&th annual convention of the Congress by John Bruce of Toronto, Chairman of a Committee on Rehabilitation and Reconstruction appointed earlier this year.The Atlantic Charter must be redeemed, the report said, and prove that it is not a false document or drafted \u201cin the face of disaster to induce our people to participate in full (in successful prosecution of, the war) with the hope of a new and better world.\u201d Immediate creation of a National Planning Council, composed of equal representation of workers to all groups, was urged upon the Government \u201cso that plans will be prepared and submitted to Parliament ready for putting into effect progressively as they are required.The convention requested the reconvening of the Dominion-Provincial Conference on the Sirois report, \u201cwith the objective of having the report considered in the light of the interests of the Canadian people as a whole, and of thereby giving the Dominion Government the power to most successfully prosecute the war, and to meet the problems of the post-war period under conditions most favorable for their solution.\u201d Planning of Canada\u2019s war industries and operation of her industries, the Committee report said, can satisfactorily be developed in the planning of peace and reconstruction.It became the responsibility of governments to develop and maintain industry and operate in a manner \"that it will not collapse upon demobilization and fail to meet the need® of the people and permit of any degree of unemployment.\"Despite all promises that are being made, a post-war depression is possible and can easily occur if drastic and constructive efforts are not made,\u201d the report said.\u201cWe must be insisting in our demands that immediate planning take place so that no excuse can be advanced1 if such a condition arises.All those who were capable and desire employment should be assured of being able to work and be self-dependent and should have sufficient earninfr power to

under humane and satisfactory conditions.\u201cAnd under these circumstances the hours of labor should be such that all shall be usefully employed on the basis of a maximum forty-hour week and

works that were of vital benefit to the whole of the national should be planned and undertaken now.The report listed rural electrification, housing and garden city projects, slum clearance, rapid electric transportation \u2014 both urban and rural, main arterial highways and bridges, reforestation, development of waterways and canals, hospital and educational institutions, It said the need of homes is so serious that \u2018the existing condition is a national disgrace.Extension of the provisions of the i ederal Housing Act was vitally important immediately.In the readjustment of the industries after victory there should be an attempt at decentralization and a distribution of the population into properly planned self-contained communities.New industries that have arisen because of war need such as shipbuilding should not be lost to Canada l nation, as a means of employment, or sacrificed to the keen competition of other countries.Every effort should be expended in having it maintained as a basic industry.Development of Canada\u2019s merchant marine should be sought.The position of farm communities must be made secure and protected by extension of measures of agricultural credit.\u201cThe financing of all these projects shall be the duty of the state,\u201d the committee report said, \u201cand while this programme will be challenged on the basis of an insufficient

words of an official spokesman, \u201cDon\u2019t get the idea that this is a new campaign or a new \u2018second front.\u2019 That started a long time ago when we first came to North Africa.\u201d The special communique announcing British and Canadian troops had pushed across the narrow Strait of Messina from Sicily, conquest of which was finished only seventeen days ago, emphasized the same point with the words, \u201cAllied forces under the command of Gen.Eisenhower have continued their advance.\u201d Most significant perhaps was the fact that Gen.Dwight D.Eisenhower began the actual smash at Hitler\u2019s so-called \"European Fortress\u201d with by far the biggest, most powerful, most versatile, single air force ever massed to support an army in the field\u2014an air force whose ;

incredibly short period, the Allies were able to concentrate enough men, supplies and shipping to continue their operations, this tirr.- against the mainland itself.They didn\u2019t wait to clear

Staline, Gorman headquarters for the Donets area in the South; Konotop, vital junction point of the Bryansk-Kiev Railway; and Smolensk, hinge of the North-Central area and jumping-off point for the Germans\u2019 unsuccessful drive on Moscow.A fourth offensive aimed at Bryansk apparently had slowed down but had not been stopped, and only in the Kharkov area did the Russians admit that stubborn German resistance in the shape of frequent coun-ter-attaeks had halted the Red army without appreciable gains.One Russian spearhead was closing in rapidly on Stalino from the Northeast and was

radio which announced that the Russians had opened a large scale offensive in the Donets basin, and the indications were that the Nazi commentator was preparing the German public for news of further withdrawals in that area.On the Sevsk sector of the Central Front advancing Russian columns bit deep into the Ukraine above Konotop and were entrenched along sixty miles of the vital Bryansk-Kiev railway.The day's gains, amounting in some places to twelve miles, resulted in the reoccupation of 100 towns, including Putivl, twenty-eight mile» East of Konotop, the Russians said.Total German

to reach European soil.On the fourth anniversary of Britain\u2019s declaration of war against the Axis, the 8th Army surged from conquered Sicily to the vulnerable extremity of Hitler\u2019s continental fortress.Not since two outnumbered, overwhelmed Anzac divisions were routed , from Greece in April, 1941, has a British Expeditionary Force fought inside Europe.Canadian troops who shared honors with British-Amcrican forces of the Sicilian triumphs were given an important role in the all-out attack against Italy itself.Powerful British artillery, in long duels with Axis guns, and daily smashing attacks by American and R.A.F.bombers had softened up the enemy\u2019s beach defences yesterday morning\u2019s amphibious assault.There was utmost determination manifested among officers and men that this assault must succeed regardless of cost.Massed batteries South of Messina carried on a preliminary engagement with Axis artillery.The invasion fleet sailed noiselessly in darkness into the Strait and turned toward the Italian coast while Allied bombers dropped thundering loads of explosives in the rear and to the South of the landing points.Heavy forces of Allied fighter planes were marshalled to protect the invasion fleet from enemy bombing reprisals after daylight.British gunners believed they already had lessened enemy artillery strength by counter-battery firing.Landing craft, landing ships and the efficient \u201cducks\u201d ail participated in ferrying the troops into Europe.Continued on pac;e 2, column 4. SHERBROOKE DAILY RECORD SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1943 PRICE OF LAMB GOOD PROGRESS TO RETURN TO IN DRUGGISTS\u2019 NORMAL LEVEL SALE OF STAMPS Reduction of lamb prices announced from Otawa means a return to the ordinary levels when the spring ]amb season is over, it was explained by Prices Board officials today.Ordinarily, by the end of August, spring lamb has grown to the point where it no longer commands the same premium and growers, officials said, find it more profitable to feed for greater size.This meat is then sold fresh or is frozen to supply the market until next year\u2019s spring lamb crop.The announcement means that prices for larger lamb, provided for in Schedule A, Order 196, are effective again.The wholesale price has been fixed for the fifteen zones across Canada.Retailers are allowed a maximum mark-up of nine cents on their selling price.Where their mark-up was less than this during the base period for general price freezing, the lower level must be observed.COWANSVILLE Persons having news items, subscriptions or advertisement matter for the Sherbrooke Record will be assured they will receive prompt attention if left with Mrs.R.MeClat-chie, Box 3'82, or phone 3Û2-W.The atmosphere is only ono-haif as dense at an altitude of three and one-half miles as it is at sea level.Although their War Savings drive is only four days old, Sherbrooke druggists today reported that the campaign, which will be in progress during September, is gaining momentum daily.Initial reports sent to the National War Finance Committee showed that three certificates (sixteen War Savings Stamps each) have been raffled by the Star Pharmacy.Winners of these certificates are Mrs.A.Schacter, 95 Quebec Street; Dave Echenberg, 5 Prospect Street, and Mrs.S.P.Smith, 219 Victoria Street, i Names and addresses of certificate ! winners at other drug stores will ap- : pear upon receipt of reports to head- \\ quarters.Over-the-counter sales are proving much better than anticipated, ac-cording to managers of Sherbrooke, drug stores.All proceeds from the ! sale of stamps and certificates will i be used to buy medical equipment j and supplies.The Dominion object-' ive is $300,00(1.Final tabulations show that \u201cStamp-ede For Victory\u2019\u2019 War Sav-1 ings Stamps drive conducted by !

The consensus seem to be this: \u201cPerhaps this fall \u2014 most likely not until spring.\u2019 At the most, six weeks of \u201cinvasion weather\u201d remains before the Channel will bo beset by unfriendly tides, seasonal vflnd and rain squalls and unfavorable atmospheric conditions which spread over Northern Europe, The middle of November is viewed as the latest possible date for invasion.\u201cSoldiers cannot be expected to fight the Nazis and the weather too,\u201d was the way one commentator put it.Plans undoubtedly have been forged, and reaffirmed at the Quebec Conference, for the earliest possible invasion of the Continent across the Channel.But when the Allies cross they intend to stay and not risk the chance of being beaten off.This reasoning was underscored by Prime Minister Churchill in his statement at Quebec Tuesday that the invasion of Western Europe will not be attempted until a reasonable chance of success is assured.At the same time observers recalled Mr.Churchill\u2019s speech in the House of Commons in which he declared that before the leaves of autumn fall there will be heavy fighting in the Mediterranean and \u201celsewhere.\u201d It was pointed out that \u201celsewhere\u201d did not necessarily refer a clash of arms in Northwestern Europe.It could also be in reference to other armies in the Middle East waiting the \u201cgo\u201d signal to smash through Greece or other Balkan countries.31 EMPLOYEES JOIN 20-YEAR CLUB Wmm .M pi, \u2022 ra\t.X\u201d\t.jfc.** Thirty-one employees of the Miner Rubber Company, Granby, Que., were recently enrolled in the \"Minçr Twenty-Year Club,\u201d with two decades\u2019 of service.They were each presented with a $500.00 cheque, a gold watch and a long-term certificate, In the picture are: LEDGER BARRE, EUGENE BEDARD, HENRI BONIN, ALPHONSE BOUDREAU, ARTHUR BOUDREAU, ROSARIO BRUNEAU, ADELARD COULOMBE, LEON GOUDREAU, GROVER C.HARRINGTON, ARTHUR LAPALME, LEO LAMQTHE, DONOVAN NEIL, JOHN ROYLES, ADONIAS SCOTT, KENNETH AVERILL, ARSENE MONGEON, GEORGE E.ROBINSON, EMERIZIE THOMAS, JEANNETTE ARBOUR, MARIE J.BERARD, LOUISA CAZEAU, EVELINE GAGNON.OLIVE DUPUIS, DORELYS MAILHOT, CORA PREVOST, DORIS LEWIS, who received awards and J.H.CODNER, manager, Halifax Branch; ALFRED TREPANIER, Quebec Branch; MARGARET MEEHAN, Halifax Branch; ARTHUR QUINTAL, Granby\u2014.now pensioned; ABRAHAM FRY, Halifax, now pensioned.Another Success Continued from Page 1.Allied Attack Continued from Page 1.Canadian Continued from Page 1, 2nd SMASH HIT ashore to crowded beaches and nine heavy guns that had been captured.Besides the prisoners taken on the mainland there has also been a steady trickle for several days of Italians coming over on their own in rowboats at night, including some naval personnel.Local residents give the impression of being pleased at the invasion.They still are smiling, waving greetings and sometimes throwing gifts of fruit despite the fact that most of them took refuge in the early hours this morning when General Montgomery showed them what he meant by a \u201cMontgomery Barrage\u201d fired over their heads.Bridgehead Of Continued from Page 1.What strength the enemy has massed in Southern Italy is something, only the Axis, and probably the Allied, leaders know, but it can be safely assumed that the Germans rushed reinforcements to swell the ranks of the two Nazi divisions known to have escaped from Sicily.KNOWLTON ROBINHOODS OF THE ROARING WEST!

year, and several degrees above the average for the past twenty-nine years, it was stated today in a report issued by the Dominion Experimental Station at Len-noxville, which contained metroro-logical data for the month of August.Average daily temperature for the month was 63.49 as compared with 63.25 for last year, and 60.51 for the past 29 years.Highest temperature of the month wav 83 degrees, which was experienced on the 2nd and 23rd of the month, and which is low when compared with the all-time high of 97 degrees one (lay in August, 1935.Lowest temperature this month was on the 8th when the mercury dropped to 38 degrees.However, this does not compare to the all-time low of 30 dn-grees recorded in 1915, 1918, 1923 and 1934.According to the report, August was a much duller month than usual with only 179.1 hours of sunshine as compared with 212.8 hours last year and an average of 292.2 for the past twenty-nine years.This year, the past month was only slightly over the all-time low in 1C)IB when there were only 176.5 hours of sunshine.The rainfall was .03 inches less than the monthly average for the past 29 years.This seems hard to believe, in view of the fact that there were .so many rainy days, but according to the report there were 3.57 inches of rain this August, while the average was 3.6*0 inches.Highest rainfall for one day occurred on the 13th, when .59 inches fell, which is pretty low considering that in J9J.0 2.25 inches fell in one day.The management and employee# et The Philip Carey Company, Ltd,, have agreed upon the term» of their working agreement and the varioue clauses are now ready to be »ubmit-ted to the Quebec Regional War Board.The agreement cover» »uch met-ti rs ns wage adjustments, choice of holidays, question of a week\u2019s holiday with pay or a Christmas bonus, end certain provision» for apprentice* and beginners who are starting to learn a trade.The agreement will cover the 1948-1944 period.The Philip Carey employees ara members of the International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Workers, an affiliate of the A.F.of L.Speaking to the Record, an official of the company expressed satisfaction with the decisions reached, pointing out that with reason and understanding on the part of employer and worker it.was possible to work in harmony, with mutual advantages and under happier and more efficient conditions.Roland Aube, President of I,ocal 409 tit the Philip Carey plant, said that, the employees were glad the contract first drawn up a year ago had been renewed.The workers, he said, were very satisfied with the increase obtained, and that it was hoped 11 at the cordial teintions that have existed between employer and cm-ployoe during the past year would he even more friendly in the month* to come.The agreement now awaits the approval of the Quebec laibor Board.SPECIAL SERVICE LABOR DAY There will be no delivery of mail by carrier on Labor Day, Sherbrooke postal officials announced today.There will be one street letter box collection, as on Sunday.Special deliveries will be made as usual.The lobby of the post office will remain open.Rio do Janeiro, Brazil, which had a population of 3,850 in 1858, now has more than 1,000,000 resident#.LENNOXVILLE ST.GEORGE\u2019S CHURCH LcnnoxviUe National Day of Prayer, Sept.I., a.m.\u2014Holy Communion.11 a.m.Holy Communion.7 p.m.\u2014Evensong.Our Congratulations to: D.J.McManamy, who will observe his birthday tomorrow, and to Mr.Justice Charles D.White, tvho has a birthday on Monday.LEE M.WATSON & CO.REG\u2019D, INSURANCE Fire, Automobile.Liability, etc.Sun Life Bldg., Sherbrooke.Phones: 2951 - 2950 Night ami Holiday Calls: Sherbrooke 1542W Conserve Yomr Shorn THEY MIST LAST!

the Western Allies are fighting again on the Continent of Europe.Two years and four months after the gallant British Expeditionary Force was thrust from Greece, four years to the day after Britain\u2019s entry into the war, a British army, including crack Canadian units, once more is locked in combat with Hitler\u2019s legions on the Continent he claimed for his own.The spearhead of the invasion for which the world has been waiting so long is that battle-tested 8th Army which turned back the Nazi surge at El Alamein, its high water mark, while Canadians fight alongside General Montgomery\u2019s British veterans.The announcement of the big push made no mention of the 8th companion army, the American 7th, which raises the possibility that the landing in Southern Italy may be only the first of a series of thrusts at the bastions of Hitler\u2019s Fortress Europe, to come in rapid succession.The scope of the new campaign remains to be revealed but it is certain that its development will involve amphibious operations that will dwarf the previous landings in North Africa and Sicily.What the Allies have begun is an assault on an entire continent,, well defended by a formidable, centralized military and industrial power.This continent, a veritable hedgehog, is inhabited by 300,0(>0,000 persons.The frontiers Hitler must defend total some eleven thousand miles.If his satellites remain loyal\u2014of which there is much doubt\u2014 he may have 10,000,000 men for its defence.To carry out an offensive against an objective of these proportions, the Western Allies had not an inch of solid ground in Europe on which to mass the millions of men and mountains of supplies needed for attack.Now they are establishing their first beachhead.They start from scratch without even a battlefield to fight on.The scores of divisions and millions of tons of material and machines must be taken by sea and air to win their own battlefield.The ragged lines of crouching, running men which materialized out of the mist of the sea, the blood-curdling whine of hundreds of planes which clouded the sky, the clank of tanks and guns told the German that their conquest of a continent had been in vain.The story of the comeback will be written large in world history, a story largely of the fortitude of Prime Minister Winston Churchill who braved the British Empire to endure blood, sweat and tears, held off the foe until air and powerful allies were ranged at bis side, and then fended off the urgent pleas of Russia and her friends for a \u201csecond front\u201d until the voltage was built up for a decisive stroke.As the months of 1943 wore in with the British and Americans still fighting in North Africa and then with the Canadians in Sicily, it appeared that United Nations strategists were not yet ready to risk an all-out assault on the fortifications with which Hitler has studded the coasts of Europe.The strategy, it seemed, was to soften up Hitler's industrial and transport machinery with devastating air aback, and hit him with invasion at his weaker spots.Prime Minister Churchill, in an Armistice Day message in 1942 hinted that the Allies might strike on short notice\u2014\u201cshould the enemy become demoralized at any moment, the same careful preparations would not be needed.Risks would be run on a large scale.\u201d Soon after the Mussolini debacle and indications of shaking German nerves as a result of the virtual destruction of Hamburg and many other German cities by bombing, Mr.Churchill and President Roosevelt held their momentous August planning conference at Quebec with hundreds of their highest advisers.However German morale may be damaged by bombing, defeat on the Russian front and the general attrition of four years of war, a long road, lies ahead of the Allied troops after they have gained beachheads.The war has entered a new phase but the people.THE NEW ST.FRANCIS COLLEGE Over the week-end, citizens of Richmond will formally open the new buildings just completed for St.Francis College High School.The new buildings give St.Francis College one of the best high school plants in the Province of Quebec, one which is perhaps unequalled in any of the rural sections.The new high school is a distinct complement to the ratepayers of Richmond, who have thus shown their real interest in the cause of primary and secondary education, and also reflects credit on the cause of Protestant education as a whole which continues to make progress in this Province despite growing difficulties.St.Francis College long has had a worthy and honored name in educational circles of the Eastern Townships, being one of the pioneer institutions established in the early days of the settlement.It has grown and prospered with the district.Now it enters a new phase of its career, equipped to give better service than ever before to the cause for which it was dedicated.LABOR DAY One of the six Dominion holidays of the year saved from the exigencies of wartime planning, Labor Day will be observed by Canadians on Monday.-Proclaimed annually in honor of the working men and women, the day has special relation these times with the rank and file of the great overalled army, who, lunchbox in hand, trudge off to .factory and shipyards in successive shifts to send ships, planes, guns, tanks and munitions to the fighters of the United Nations on and over the six continents and seven seas.While the urgency of production may preclude observance of the holiday in some industries across Canada, Labor Day will be celebrated in the broad sense as the last holiday of the summer season.This aspect of the day has made it through the years one of the most popular holidays of the year.This is the fiftieth celebration of Labor Day in Canada and the United States but its origins go far back to the mists of medieval history.In the Middle Ages, the monks evolved a doctrine concerning the \u201cdignity of labor.\u201d Immediately the Craft Guilds began to emphasize this honorable position with parades and festivals.Labor fetes continued until the advent of machines destroyed the individuality of labor to some extent.The 18th and 19th centuries saw the revival which made May 1 in Europe the traditional day for celebrations by workers and others who sought betterment of conditions or other changes in their respective nations\u2019 way of life.Demonstrations on May 1 became frequently marked with riots and other disturbances necessitating police or military attention.When the \u201cNew World\u201d of

law of growth and development, both in the race and in the individual.In the second place, we learn that God\u2019s revelations to individuals have always been dependent upon the receptive capacity of the most highly-endowed members of the race, who become prophets and spiritual guides to their fellows, In the third place, we learn that each new stage in the progress of on personal experience.How

for men may have \u201cfaith\u201d in Nature, or themselves, or God.On particular, \u201cfaith\u201d is the element in which man\u2019s religious life has.its being, and through which it derives its main inspirations and sources of energy.Nevertheless it is a word not too well understood.In the view of a great many people, \u201cfaith\u201d is based on something outside of him who exercises it.It is grounded on Authority, rather than CONSCRIPTION COMES IN ALMOST UNNOTICED Port Arthur News-Chronicle It has been pointed out that called up or conscripted Canadian soldiers, in going, to Kiska, the Aleutian island wnrch they and American forces occupied a few days ago, actually went farther from the mainland of Canada than if they had gone to Britain where only those Canadians who volunteer for active service are supposed to go.The distance from the Canadian mainland to Kiska is given as 2,500 miles, to Britain 2,400 miles.It is also to be noted that the expedition to Kiska was made with the full expectation of a fight with the Japanese, possibly tough and bitter, because the Japanese had been there in large numbers and had never before been known to abandon such a position without a last man defence.The use of these called up men was, therefore, conscription for active service in the fullest possible sense.A technical difference is in the fact that Kiska is geographically North American territory, whereas Britain is in the European zone.The policy has been to use called up men in defence-operations.The Kiska expedition was put in this category because the territory is American.Whether it contributed more to the defence of the continent than operations across the Atlantic is a matter of debate.If there is a distinction it is a distinction almost without a difference and if there is a difference it is so small that it may actually disappear before long and called up men will be1 going to any and all theatres of war.Conscription would then be in full effect, although having come so gradually as to be almost unnoticed.No one could properly object, The people voted for it and if the Government has brought it about without stirring up the violent opposition that was threatened from certain quarters who can blame it for that?rot efficient and that company President Guy Vaughan ,says that if the system is wrong it is one that has been in use for twenty years and whatever defects may have been found will be corrected as the management at the Ohio plant strives earnestly to achieve the production goal.j Some idea if the near catasprophe ;at this plant may be gotten by the \u2018fact that the plane was supposed to have a monthly production capacity of 2,000 and the War Department hoped some day to attain by expansion of plant a 4,000 monthly production.Apparently if the schedule, for instance, called for 1,000 ; units and an actual production in excess of 1,000 was reached last spring, then the drop-off in production brought last month\u2019s output down to about 150 engines.Any such drop is a critical matter especially if the same state of mind which brought on the drop were to spread to other plants.Livestock production is a longterm programme.Marvellously we have speeded up the building of a ship.But no man ever devised a method of speeding up the production of a heifer.\u2014Alf M.Landcn, SO THEY SAY Now that European politics have been supplanted by world politics, all island nations, including our own, must see to it that no nation spreads out its power to dominate the great world land area.\u2014-President Dixon Ryan Fox -of Union College.* * * They (Axis nations) still seek to divide and conquer allies who refuse to be divided just as cheerfully as they refuse to be conquered.\u2014President Roosevelt.* * » The bitter lessons of the last quarter-century have proved that we have gone beyond the point where we can be indifferent to what happens beyond.our own borders in carrying out our economic policy.\u2014U.S.Navy Secretary Frank Knox.* * * Mankind has now all the power and substance available for universal plenty and well-being beyond the dream of any previous age and he is wasting it all in destruction.\u2014H.G.Wells, author.McKENNEY ON BRIDGE By Wtn.E.McKenney, America\u2019s Card Authority.MAN V/ANTS KIBITZER THAT\u2019S BRIDGE NEWS At least the Communist convention in Toronto stirred up sufficient breeze to reveal Mrs, Dorise Nielson's red flannel petticoat.\u2014Windsor Star.Patronage seekers may find Kernel Drew a hard nut to crack.\u2014Kitchener Record.Let\u2019s make officers of ail pilots or end the snobbish system that makes sergeant pilots seem outsiders.\u2014Detroit Free Press.GERMAN RETRIBUTION: HIMMLER Buffalo Courier-Express The appointment of Himmler is infinitely more terrible in its possibilities for the Germans than the bombing of Berlin.Even though Berlin, like Hamburg, should oe bombed to the point of complete civilian evacuation\u2014even though thousands should be killed and tens of thousands made destitute\u2014the human suffering caused could not be compared to the horror of turning the whole German nation into a Gestapo torture-chamber presided over by Himmler.Come to think of it, however, the German nation was turned into such a torture-chamber long ago, and appointment of Himmler as \u201cchief of the Reich administration\u201d merely gives official form to an existing condition.If anyone personifies the vilest characteristics of that vile thing called Naziism it is the chinless Himmler who really represents a new' low for genus homo, in comparison to the beastly boss of the Gestapo, Hitler almost resembles a human being.Germany has many sins on its soul.Retribution seems to be com-inug both from the sky and on the ground.Experts are flattered to have a lot of kibitzers.Edward Lembeck, of New York, who is rather new in the tournament field and has a keen sense of humor, was not to be out-| done by the experts.As long as kibitzers were buying ?1,000 War I Bonds to watch the experts play in I the recent national tournament, he [said he would buy a $5,000 bond if we.would provide the kibitzer\u2014 which we quickly did.And Lembeck Hived up to the kibitzer\u2019s expectation ! of a thrill on today\u2019s hand.\u2019 The opening lead was won by the ace, Lembeck (North) immediately led the jack of diamonds and, wben it was not covered by East, discarded a spade from dummy.The next trick was won by the ace of clubs, then North ruffed a club with the king of hearts.The four of trumps was led and won by the eight, A second club was ruffed with the queen of hearts, then the ten of trumps was overtaken by the jack and the third club ruffed.Lembeck Lembeck 4k A76 VKQ1094 4 AQJ3 J AQJ95 V 3 ?9 8 5 4 *K:.\t.fe.mMÊÊm a t\t™ ™ I» r - I '?W m fe.;
