LEADING ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE DISTRICT OF BEAUHARNOIS HUNTINGDON, QUE., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17th, 1940 But charm is nothing but vitality and the quality of not thinking eternally about oneself, TEN PAGES Barrie Memorial Hospital Reports Fine Progress Members of the Huntingdon Calf Club Hear A Number Of Instructive Addresses Gilbert McMillan, W.L.Carr, Adam L.Sellar, J.L.Pelletier, William Graham Are Amongst the Speakers Heard\u2014Some Seventy-five Attend Banquet Held at Masonic Temple One of the finest young people's gatherings ever held in Huntingdon took place on Friday evening when the members of the local Calf Club and friends were entertained to a banquet and social evening in the Masonic Temple banquet room.The ladies of the local Women's Institute and the mothers of the Calf Club members saw to it that more than an abundance of food was provided.Some 75 boys and girls and a few adults enjoyed the banquet.The tables were appropriately decorated in Easter colors with suitable favors.It was intended to hold this assembly of young people at Easter time but the big snow storm prevented its taking place.The ladies of the W.I.were ably assisted by a number of high school girls, who in due time doubly enjoyed the dancing part of the entertainment.David White, the Club president, acted as toastmaster in a most acceptable manner.David is one of the many bright boys of the Calf Club and is certainly accepting the good counsel he is receiving from many farmers, not the least of whom are Messrs.Douglas Ness, Gilbert McMillan and Agronomist J.L.Pelletier, for David was the highest prize winner at Huntingdon Fair amongst Calf Club members.David's opening remarks were kept rief, to the point, yet nothing left unsaid or undone that ought to be taken care of.During the banquet some community singing took place and might have been more generously entered into had the songs been keyed a bit lower.However, Mrs.Louis Cappiello and Mrs.Robert Anderson, with Mrs.Gordon Mc- Lean as accompanist, saw to it that the songs were sung, and that the girls could outsing the boys when it came to taking the higher notes.Mr.Gilbert McMillan spoke in the absence of Mr.J.P.Fleury, who was detained in Montreal due to sickness.Mr.McMillan stated that in Canada we have some 30,000 young people who are club members of agricultural movements.It is these 30,000 youthful agriculturists who will grow up and do more for the welfare of Canada than any other group of people in Canada today.The feeding of our armies and the people in general will mean more, and be of greater importance as time goes on.We are here on earth as custodians of the lands we operate and we are expected to leave these lands in a better state of cultivation than when we started working them.In this calf club work you are taught how to perform the daily care of your animals.The better you care for the animal and market it, the more satisfactory will be the financial return.Learn and Practice Co-operation Exhibiting cattle provides you with à training that makes you a true sportsman.If you lose a class, lose it in a sporting manner and never try to win through making short cuts.Learn and practice co-opera- tion with others.The greatest example of what co-operation can achieve, in this district, is our great Ormstown Exhibition, one of the most outstanding livestock shows in all Canada.This achievement was brought about through the co- pre ative efforts of the people .\"ae community who worked as true neighbours.Mr.W.L.Carr, \u201cThe Boss of Brackenglade,\u201d gave a short address which was little short of a masterpiece for such a gathering of young people.\u201cThe Appreciation of Values\u201d calls for the learning of how to judge, not only cattle, but horses and pigs and any other line of livestock that may be found on your farm.Swine judging ability is of particular importance and especially at this particular moment when war is on and soldiers must be fed as well as civilians.Wealth is valued in flocks and herds, and such values are of greater importance than gold.Gold is merely taken out of the ground and stored in vaults.A cow is valuable or otherwise.Therefore, it is up to you to be able to evaluate livestock and if you can do that you can succeed in agriculture.If a farmer sees two cows, one worth say $150 and another worth $500, he will know which cow is the best but will he be able to say how much better is the better cow over the other.Will he appraise the good cow as worth but $200 or perhaps $250?And if he were to sell that cow at less than its true worth, then he is the loser.You must be able to appreciate and judge the various parts of a cow to know her real value.Many people are unhappy because they do not know how to value the many good things they have at their command, but look to far-away fields, believing they are more fertile, The ability of being able to value and then adjust yourself to the good things at your command is what is all important in life.Mr.William Graham, president of Huntingdon Agricultural Society, Div.A, brought the greetings of the Society to the Calf Club members, and wished them all success in their Club work.Agronomist J.L.Pelletier distributed the prize money, amounting to 497.75, for the classes won by club members at the fall showing of their calves, etc.Before making the presentation of awards he informed the Club members that the Holstein Club would be holding two barn demonstrations, one at J.J.Murphy's and one at Mr.Roy's at Ormstown.He urged the boys to attend these meetings.Besides judging cattle at Mr.Roy's, he has promised to give some practical hints on the judging of horses.Mr.Roy has long been noted as a breeder of good horses.He has many fine horses in his stable today and I am sure the lessons he will give you on horse judging will be of marked im- pertance to you in years to come.At our regular Calf Club meetings you have attended with marked regularity, but still better attendances are possible and I hope such will be your resolve for 1940.In May the Calf Club will hold a meeting Tien members will be registered for 1940.Co-operation in Government Adam L.Sellar, of The Gleaner, followed up the remarks of Messrs.McMillan and Carr by stating that co-operation and evaluation might be carried beyond the agricultural fleld to that of government administration in Canada.How much better would our country be governed if we had compulsory voting in place of electing members to parliament by people being induced to vote, perhaps through the use of dollars or favors being extended by members or governments.If the compulsory vote was made law in Canada he believed it would be a more general endorsement of the member elected to our halls of government.Members could then act in a fearless manner, knowing that they had but the best interests of Canada to serve and not merely to cater to the whims of we electors.When Canada has such members elected the speaker felt Canada would save many a dollar, and that its treasury would be sufficiently well lined that the present eight per cent sales tax, \u201ca nuisance tax,\u201d might well be eliminated, thereby allowing almost one-twelfth of ow trading dollars to be put to better use than when placed in the hands of government.It is impossible to hope for tax reduction now.but we might well prepare ourselves to make changes so that savings can eventually be effected, and this is one avenue where savings can be anticipated to accrue from.Compulsory voting will tend to lead Canadians to be a more honest people.Words of commendation were also accorded the Women's Institute and friends who made the first Calf Club social evening such a marked success.Throughout the evening games and dancing were enjoyed by all present.VALUABLE PAPERS LOST AS PARSONAGE BURNS AT LACOLLE Lacolle was the scene of its largest fire since the burning of the Roman Catholic church 10 years ago, when Sunday morning the residence occupied by the Rev.Ernest E.Dawson, pastor of St.Saviour's Anglican church was completely destroyed by fire with the entire contents together with two other small buildings.The church bell was rung to call out citizens and although efforts were made to check the flames with chemicals and water the fire had gained such headway that the occupants were fortunate in escaping with their lives.Machinery for New Mills Arrives .Seven heavily-loaded cars of machinery arrived in Huntingdon on Monday morning for two of the town\u2019s newest mills Fawcett & Grant Lid.and the Empire Spinning Mill.Employees Town Council Warns the Bicyclists Owners of Bicycles Not Carrying Lights at Night Will be Fined or Vehicles Temporarily Confiscated There are too many bicycles about the streets of Huntingdon without lights, complained Ald, Lunan at the adjourned meeting of the Town Council on Monday evening.Several years ago the Town Council passed a by-law forcing bicycle owners to have lights on their vehicles for use in the evening, but this seems to have been forgotten, stated Ald.Lu- nan.The members of the Council should again warm these lads, as well as the parents, of the imminent danger of travelling at night without lights on bicycles.If this does not remedy the situation then a fine will be imposed or the bicycle taken away from its owner, concluded Ald.Lunan.This action on the part of the Council was brought about following a near accident which might have occurred at the comers of Bouchette and Prince Street Monday evening.A car narrowly missed striking a lad travelling on a bicycle without lights and then came close to smashing into a tree.Oliver Bonneville asked the Council if the hydrants in the Town of Huntingdon were ever cleaned.and especially the one near his residence on Cemetery Street.The Council informed Mr.Bonneville that all hydrants in the town were flushed once in the spring of the year and regularly throughout the summer months.Building permits were granted to Mrs.Margaret Davis, Robert Le- febvre, Henry Smith and Leo Cap- piello.A letter was read from the Provincial Minister of Commerce and Municipal Affairs acknowledging the Town of Huntingdon's resolution re their decision to revert to Eastern Standard Time during the summer months.Mrs.S.Davis and Mrs.Claude St- Onge complained of the poor drainage in front of their residence on Continued on page 8) Members English River Rifle Club Are Vastly Improved Various Members Have Improved Their Shooting Considerably During Past Two Years\u2014Club Gives Promise of Being Heard From Often The art of shooting at a given mark at a given distance with as near perfect precision as may be goes back in what is now British history to the days of Crescy and Agincourt, so that there is no marvel that the above club exists in Riverfield.Started on the Angell farm as a group registered with Dominion Marksmen two years ago last November, the club last year had a membership of 27, and since its inception has seen some 58 marksmen qualify for awards by Dominion Marksmen.Five members hold the Expert Shield of that institution, and at least another is on the point of doing so, and some of these men hold even higher honors, and all of them sugar their tea with silver spoons.Profitable, or improfitable sport, depending on how one looks at it, has been provided in shooting for chickens, ducks and turkeys, and the season is now approaching when anyone so minded can relax and shoot at the mark for what it is worth.In all clubs there are those who find their ideal and are keen to attain the limit of perfection if possible.This club is no exception and it may be of interest to know what progress is being made.Apart from winning the Provincial Championship Shield and failing to secure the Dominion Championship Shield of the Dominion Marksmen, team of members of this club have entered into winter competition of the D.CR.A., the CSB.A.and DM., and have been kept ROADS ARE CLOSED TO HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL DAYS Most of the roads in the Cha- teauguay Valley have been closed to heavy traffic since last Thursday.Watchmen have been placed at all intersections of roads in the County of Huntingdon so that truckers and busses will abide by the rules.This action is taken in the spring of each year when the roads start thawing.To prevent and protect our highways the Provincial government adopted this measure of safety.The Provincial Transport is a present using a much smaller autobus than usual for the transportation of their passengers to and from Montreal.The exact date on which the roads will be re-opened to heavy traffic is not yet determined but it was stated in Huntingdon over the week-end that they would be closed for at least two weeks.YMCA.Make Appeal For War Funds although the results of the particular competitions are not yet disclosed, a comparison of scores as we know them in the two winter seasons of the club's existence will show that these men, among others, should, if the rate of progress is maintained, soon rank with the best in the Dominion.It must be remembered that the boys started with light sporting rifles, inadequately sighted for target shooting.They are, however, gradually acquiring the tools and technique of the cowboys\u2019 crack shots.The following table of totals in the same three DORA.competitions will give an approximate idea of the rate of progress.The possible score in the three competitions was 1,800 per competition, or 7,200 gross.1840 Incr.1758

national appeal is launched on the part of the Canadian Y.M.C.A.for funds to meet actual needs for service to Canada\u2019s fighting forces overseas and to her defence forces in Canadian camps and barracks.The amount the public is asked to subscribe is $1.038,000 which will be devoted to implement services already rendered to our soldiers, sailors and airmen, to pay off a sum of $200,000 borrowed from the banks to inaugurage the services and finance further operations at home and abroad for the ensuing T.Every citizen will realize the great work this organization is doing and give it all possible financial support.Those who listened to the overseas broadcast on Monday evening will remember having heard numerous Canadian soldiers in England paying testimony to the fine work being done over there to ensure the comfort of the Canadian soldiers.On Monday two organizers of the Y.M.CA.from Montreal visited Huntingdon and made plans for a financial drive to be made in this and other centres as well as Hun- tingdon.An objective of $1.000 has been set for Huntingdon and immediate district to be obtained in a ten-day drive.Mr.A.A.Lunan of Huntingdon has been appointed chairman of the YM.C.A.drive for Huntingdon and immediate territory.In about a week's time canvassers will be appointed who will make the rounds and it is to be hoped that the citizens will show the same fine support of the efforts of the Y.M.C.A.as they have done for the Salvation Army and the Canadian Legion.MAKING SYRUP busy rushing the machinery to their new homes on Chateauguay Street and Lorne Avenue

Revenue Operating a passenger service on the Canadian National Railway system, from Coteau Junction to Aubrey, and return, a distance of 51.6 miles, means a loss of $8391 a year, the Board of Transport Commissioners was told Saturday when it met in Montreal to consider the application of the C.NR.to abandon that service.The end of steel on this line is at Noyon, but there is no passenger service beyond Aubrey.The line is used mostly for through freight, inbound, from Chicago to eastern Atlantic United States points.The present service serves the municipalities of Coteau Junction, Soulanges, Valleyfield, Cecile, St.Louis, Aymess, and Aubrey, and there is one train a day, except Sunday, each way.The receipts including express and milk, run a little over five cents per train mile, and the operating cost 66 cents a mile.It was pointed out by the company, represented by L.Cote, that the territory is served by bus service, though it was admitted that some places would be completely isolated in winter time if the train service was withdrawn, except that there would still be the passenger service which the mall carriers carry on as a side-line, as is done in thousands of cases in this province.The company said that there would be railway service to the territory through the Montreal to Fort-Cov- ington service, passengers being able to get to Aubrey, for example, from Howick, and also from Ayrness, the distance from each place being about five miles, also covered by mail carrier service.One Passenger a Day Figures submitted showed that passengers are rare on the line, about one person per day from Aubrey.and passengers getting on at intermediate stations were on a similar scale.The passenger revenue for 17 days last year ran to $18.90.The fare works out at two cents a mile.Express brings a revenue of about 53 cents a day, and mail service represents $1.20 a week.Milk shipments total $1,477 a year, the \u2018volume being from 27 to 32 cans a day.In answer to cross-examination by Maxime Raymond, K.C., M.P., representing the municipalities affected.it was testified that winter does not bring increased business.A.A.Allen of Aubrey said that two of the seven milk shippers from his area would have to go out of business if the train service were discontinued, since the companies in Montreal to which they sold their milk refused to take truck-delivered milk, and insisted it come by train.W.L.Best, Ottawa, representing the railway brotherhoods, sald there was a \u201crumored\u201d tendency on the (Continued on page 7) CHAIRMAN A.A,

by all.Stanley Popeck was the genial master of ceremonies who saw to it that the program was run off according to schedule.Having much to do with the organization and success of the party was W.Rowat.Raffling of two gallons of maple syrup took place, one of them being won by H.K.Damant of Hunting- don and the other by Norman Goff of Montreal.A pair of pyjamas was won by James Peters of Hunting- don.A number of vaudeville acts were staged rather successfully in view of the fact that they were practically impromptu.The first of these was an imitation act by P.Geddes which drew much applause.Aubrey McBride as the lady and George Ellis as the man humorously presented an apache dance which provoked amusement.There were two masked marvels in the persons of W.Rowat and Hector Prevost who put to shame any wrestling act that might be staged in the Montreal Forum.Their contortions brought gales of laughter from the audience.Two excellent dance interpretations were given, one by Miss Lomyra Popeck and Tommy Warden, and the other by Miss Hazel Newman and Norman Goff of Montreal.Refreshments for the evening were in charge of Austin Lefebvre.\u201cAl\u201d Cameron was in charge of collections.The ladies of the club assisted in preparing the coffee and sandwiches.Dancing concluded the evening's entertainment.A sum in the neighbourhood of $60 was realized on the evening's performance.LARGE SHIPMENT OF NEWSPRINT PASSES THRO\u2019 H\u2019'DON The largest train of paper to ever pass through Huntingdon rolled by over the New York Central lines on Tuesday.There was a total of 53 cars and the train had a double header engine.Of these cars 28 are for export to countries other than the United States Canadian newsprint is highly in demand these days and the price has soared considerably in those countries which are at war.In Canada the price of newsprint is $50 a ton while in England the price is $112 a ton, © The first annual meeting of the Barrie Memorial Hospital, Orms- town, was held in the Ormstown High School on Wednesday, April 10.Quite a large number were present.The different reports showed that the hospital was filling a need in the district and that it was in a healthy condition at the present time.There are at present 39 Ilfe members and 343 ordinary members in the corporation.The following governors were elected: A.A.Allen, Geo.E.Baird, H.Beaudin, H.H.Chambers, Alfred Greig, A.A.Lunan, P.D.McArth- ur, W.G.McGerrigle, J.E.Ness, Dr.T.J.Quintin, Mrs.J.Reddick, R.J.Roy, Miss L.Walsh, R.E.Walsh, H.B.Wilson.Mr.P.D.McArthur, commenting on the different reports given of the work of the hospital, stated that the institution was in a healthy condl- tion.It might not always be so, he added, but, so far we were amply Justified in going ahead with the project.The report showed that the ladies of the district were doing a great deal of work for the haspital.He moved that a hearty vote of thanks be extended to Miss Walsh and Dr.Quintin for the splendid reports they had made on the workings of the hospital.Dr.Quintin referred to the spe- clal building grant of $5,000 received from the Department of Health, Quebec, but stated the hospital would still require support from the Government in the way of un annual grant.A motion was passed, moved hy Mr.Alfred Greig, seconded by Mr.J.D.Bryson, that the thanks of the members of the Barrie Memorial Hospital be extended to the Department of Health, Quebec, for this building grant of $5,000, to Mr.Romeo Fortin, M.LA., and Mr.J.W.Ross, M.L.A., for thelr assistance in obtaining this grant, coupled with the hope that an annual grant of at least $3,000 per anhum will be granted to the hospital In order that it may continue to serve the interests of the district.Board of Governors Meety A

H.E.Walsh, Indell Waddell.It was decided to have a tag day at Ormstown fair in aid of the hospital.The general report of the activities at the Ormstown Barrie Memorial Hospital was presented by Dr.J.T.Quintin and is self explanatory.It reads as follows: Mr.Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen:\u2014The report which I am ahout From October, 1938, to April, 1939, the New York Central lost $12,000 a month on operating its line from Montreal to Malone, the Board of Transport Commissioners was told on Friday at its sitting in Montreal, when hearing an application from that company to materially reduce the service Montreal-Valleyfleld~ Malone, both ways.There are five trains each way now, and the company wishes to cut three of them, two daily trains and one daily except on.Sunday.Hon.J.A.Cross, presided.In his summing up, W.L.Scott, K.C.of Ottawa, who with John T.Hackett, K.C., of Montreal, and W.R.Stevens of New York, represented the railway company, said the New York Central does not own the line but holds it on a 99-year lease from the St.Lawrence and Adirondack Railway Company, which lease could be terminated by his company at three months\u2019 notice.Maxime Raymond, K.C., M.P., for Beauhamois- Laprairie represented the various municipalities interested.it was pointed out that the territory coficerned is served by bus lines, but the answer was that this was only seasonal, and the people required the railway service as now given.Residents at Chateauguay and neighborhood as far as Valley- field have an investment of $6,500, 000 in summer and Delegation Opposed to Rail Service Cut to Malone, N.Ÿ.New York Central Wishes to Lop Three Trains Off Schedule\u2014$12,000 Monthly Loss\u2014Mayor J.A.Larin, Maxime Raymond, K.C., M.P., Fight For Continuance of Service Here conserve that investment.With the curtailed service as suggested, they could not do so, counsel held.Mayor J.Armand Larin of Valley- fleld testified that any reduction in service would be very detrimental to his city.If the reductions desired by the company were made it would mean Valleyfield would have no train from Montreal until late in the afternoon.Felix Desrosiers, inspector of postal services for the district of Montreal, explained how the reductions would aflect the postal service.His instructions were to oppose the application on behalf of the Post Office Department.Cancellations of two of the trains proposed would mean a delay of a day in business correspondence between Montreal and points along the line.By way of further example, he said that mail from Toronto and Ottawa to the district affected, and return, instead of taking 36 hours would take two full days.In other cases where there had been curtailment in railway service the postal authorities had done the best they could to get along, and would do so in this instance if the application was granted, but anything that could be improvised would leave the public without a satisfactory service.Even with the curtailments proposed, the company would lose money, said counsel for the New York Central.permanent homes, it was pointed out to the Commissioners, MIO Gf ar v= _ ;

submit covers the work of the Barrie Memorial Hospital for the period from the opening in December last to the end of March and as such it does not correspond with the period covered by the report previously given by the treasurer, but is given to show you something of the work being done.The hospital, from its opening day, has been busy.In all, 87 patients have been taken care of during this four-month period.These patients remained in the hospital for varying lengths of time.The adult patients took 1,084 hospital days, while the nursery was occu- pled 149 days; making a total of 1,233 hospital days.During this time there was an average of 10.36 patients per day in the hospital, counting the nursery patients, and 9.10 excluding the latter.Fourteen babies were born in the hospital during these four months.There were 36 major and minor operations; six blood transfusions were given and 21 patients were X-rayed.It might interest you to know that 6.650 meals were served and 13,265 articles passed through the laundry.From the above It can be seen that all departments were far from inactive and in every department an endeavour was made to give the utmost in service.I should like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Management for thelr co-operation at all times and to express my appreciation, and the appreciation, I am sure, of the committees that the hospital serves, for the work of Miss Sillars and her staff.To the many people in the district who have sent gifts of various kinds to help in operating the hospital, I want to express the thanks of the institution and the hope that you will continue to remember the Barrie Memorial Hospital in the fu- Lure, L should like also to acknowledge thé work of Miss Laura Walsh in the organizing of the Ladies\u2019 Auxil~ lary for the hospital.It has done splendid work as you will hear from her report a little later on.Financlally, the hospital has been able to meet its obligations very weil, House Committee Report The ladies of the district have contributed more than their share in the success of the hospital during its first four months of operation.The House Committee, which is headed hy Miss L.Walsh, formed in February a Women's Auxiliary which will be of great assistance to the hospital.The report of the House Committee for January, February and March was presented by Miss Walsh ,and reads as follows: While the hospital was being completed, the ladies of the district were also busy.Several thousand yards of material were cut into sheets, draw sheets, mattress covers, pillow cases, towels, handages, sterilizing bags and curtains, These were sent to a convenor who had been appointed for different centres and distributed by her to ladies who made and returned them washed and ready for use.An appeal which was made for jellles, jams and pickles was liberally responded to.Form Women\u2019s Auxiliary On February 5, 1940, a meeting was held in the hospital and a Women\u2019s Auxillary formed.Twenty- five members, representihg different sections, enrolled.Every second Monday from 2 until 4 pm.one lady together with ten others from her district are expected at the hospital, when packs, swabs anc bandages are made, and any neces sary sewing done.In this way we hope to keep thes: supplies ahead of the demands o the hospital.The House Committee wishes t.thank all who in any way are help ing to accomplish this importan task.Financial Statement The financial statement as pre sented by the auditor, shows tha the Barrie Memorial Hospital had cash balance of 8526.40 at the en

obtaining \u2018he vote for women in the Province of Quebec it didn't take quite a hundred years, but all too long a time.It has only been after 86 years of trying that the efforts of the women have been rewarded.For on Thursday in the Quebec Legislative Assembly.after the second reading of a government bill asking the right for women of Quebec to vote and be eligible as candidates from January 1.1941, on.it was proclaimed by a 67-9 vole that this shall be so.The third reading of the bill is regarded as a mere formality and approval of the Legislative Council is taken for granted.For the passing of this act Premier Godbout can not help but be regarded as a Premier who kept an election promise.In these columns the Gleaner expressed the thought some time ago that the issue might be shelved.This was not the case.Premier Godbout came through and in doing so he has removed a stigma from the women of this Province who will now be able to vote at Provincial elections even as their sisters in the other provinces of Canada.The Gleaner has all down through the years advocated giving women the franchise in this Province and it therefore regards with pleasure what has just taken place.Following are extracts from the speech of the Premier in advancing the cause, which extracts will be found of interest: \u201cThe measure seems ~0 popular that it needs only two words of argument from me.I suppose there wil] be some who will object that I have not always been in favor of women's vote and that I changed my attitude.That is true.Today I believe circumstances have changed and that the problem now presents t:elf in a different complexion.\u201cI cannot, and the Government cannot.change the universal fact that women are equal to men in all spheres.I would not want to plead only that it is a question of prerogatives of one sex, but those of my province.Any human being with the intelligence enough to know his duty has the right to vote for the welfare of his province.\u201cIs it known that women have half the savings in the banks of the province and of Canada at the present time?\u201d That they have about 75 per cent of insurance, taken out for their own protection and that of the families dependent upon them?If only on the economic side of the question, I can't see how we can refuse them this prerogative.\u201cIf I ask for the women's vote, too, it is because women are a force for order, a force they exercise even without the right to vote.The right of women to sit here with us in equal authority with men cannot help but increase the interest they now have in public affairs.I am sure they will approach many questions with less narrow- mindedness than we do and that they will always be moved by the most patriotic of sentiments.\u201cI think women will bring here (to the Legislature) a factor of order, respect and peace.We may have forgotten in the past, perhaps, that their presence here will be a check on those who, otherwise, might be inclined to go too far.\u201cI claim this right for women, again, because they can best maintain what best will maintain society in this province\u2014the home.This is the foundation stone of our society, and its best protection is afforded by women who have special devotion to it, \u201cIs the woman\u2014as a human being\u2014not as intelligent as we are?History shows that women, even on the intellectual plane, are frequently superior to men.Here in this province, actually, women are many times better educated than men.\u201d are Dispel Fear and Impatience HE Montreal Daily Star has been running some rather enlightening editorials on the war situation since the outbreak in September.For the average individual the maze of war re- j ports from \u201cover there\u201d is at times, to say the < least, confusing.It is difficult to sift the chaff from the kernels, to get the facts and the reports so analyzed that a true perspective of the situation might be obtained at a glance.This, the \" editorials in the Star have been doing most commendably.True, the editorial writers are somewhat in the same boat as the late Will Rogers | who stated, \u201cAll I know is what I read in the newspapers.\u201d But with a substantial background of knowledge as to historical facts together with a certain amount of special information as to present events, the editorial writers of the Montreal Daily Star are daily turning out material on the war situation which is a veritable wind vane as Lo just how things are blowing.We were especially interested in a recent editorial entitled, \u201cThe War: A Word to Pacifists.\u201d Following a review of Great Britain's successful naval warfare off Norway recently the Star pointed out that there was too much fear displayed on the part of some people as to the first reports of Britain's losses.Following is the extract from the Star's Editorial: \u201cWhile further and more definite news of the naval fighting will be awaited with the keenest interest everywhere, it seems timely at this juncture Lo address a word of advice to defeatists.There is a certain type of mentality which is congenitally incapable of taking a long view of anything.This type shudders every time the Allies in fighting suffer any damage and immediately begins 10 count the days when the Swastika will be flown across the Atlantic and raised in the Canadian sunlight.\u201cIt is, of course, a thousand pities that such mentalities do exist; but we have to recognize their existence and endeavour to nullify them.Nobody but a fool expects that in any fight any belligerent can come through without suffering some damage.But this war is not going to be decided either quickly or as the result of any one engagement either on sea.on land or in the air.The harder the Allies strike, the heavier our losses are expected to be; but so long as the enemy are damaged even more, the percentage of loss on our side is not so material.For instance the loss of the two British destroyers at Narvik is a mere trifle compared with the German losses of the Bluecher and the Karlsruhe, \u201cWhile nobody with a grain of horse sense proposes to underestimate the power or determination or vindictiveness of the enemy.our job is to keep ever before us the determination that we are going to help crush the enemy.That is the only spirit which should prevail on the Home Front.Moral cowards are a public pest in wartime.\u201d A Misapprehension I: these columns the Gleaner recently ran an extract from the Glasgow Sunday Post as follows: \u201cDances are run for Canadian troops over here.Girls attending must be of the nicer type.They're personally interviewed and vouched for by responsible persons.Baloney! Trust Canadians to find nice girls without the aid of busybodies.\u201d In its editorial columns, the Times-Review of Fort Erie, Ontario, was under the misapprehension that the Gleaner itself had commented with the last two sentences, namely: \u201cBaloney! Trust Canadians to find nice girls withou the aid of busybodies.\u201d The Fort Erie paper then proceeds to say the following: \u201cPernaps the Gleaner is taking the right ati- tude, but we think not.Speaking with a number of Fork Erie old soldiers, who went through the last war, we find that too many disagree with the attitude shown by the Gleaner.They point out that many of the so-called \u201cbusybodies™ are persons connected with the Canadian Legion educational scheme, the Y.M.C.A.and the Y.W.C.A.\u201cFrom experience, the old soldiers know that something definite must be done for the present- day soldiers in the way of entertainment.Something clean and wholesome.The old soldiers don't want to see thousands of young Canadians retwn home after the war as they did last time, broken physically and some mentally, not through the fighting in the line, but through the fact that they ran amuck while free from duty on leave.\u201cOld soldiers of Canada know the dangers facing youth, and in some ways are trying to meet the situation by devising proper forms of recreation.For this they need a boost, not a knock.They are merely endeavoring to protect our boys from the pitfalls of life.\u201d The Glasgow Sunday Post was apparently endeavoring to pay tribute to Canadian soldiers, to their natural ability to choose a nice type of girl.We feel sure that the Glasgow Sunday Post.even as the Gleaner, would heartily approve of the movement of the various organizations such as the Canadian Legion, Y.M.C.A,, etc., to help the Canadian soldiers in their entertainment.Everyone is entirely aware of the fine work these organizations are doing.The Fort Erie Times-Review just got their editorial signals mixed this time.It was the statement of the Glasgow paper and if it were interpreted correctly by the Times-Review we think this newspaper would see it as a compliment by the Glasgow newspaper and not a disparaging remark.Gambling AMBLING in any of its forms is viewed with disfavour by many.All will view it with disfavour when it is carried on in such a way as to rob innocent youths of money they sorely need for other purposes.There have been repeated reports of certain newcomers, learned in the tricks of the trade of card gambling, who have been inveigling somewhat innocent youth into games and \u2018\u2019cleaning\u201d them of their wages.The youths themselves should have sense enough to steer clear of this sort of thing, but youths do not always see clearly what they should do.It is high time that the older men, however, take the warning to \"lay off\u201d this mean stuff and cease taking advantage of the innocent younger folks.Do You Know Your Directions?AVE you ever noticed that although there is a wind vane on the top of Huntingdon's water tower there are no compass points to show the direction in which the wind is blowing.This was brought to our attention by an observant Hunting- don citizen.He claims that although there are many people who think they know where North and South and East and West are, he doubts very much if they really do.In fact, he wagers that ninety-five per cent of the population in Hunting- don would not come within 30 points of North if they were taken to the Huntingdon Water Tower and asked to point exactly North.Would you be amongst the selected five per cext?LIFE'S LIKE THAT

well-known writer on finance and commerce.(| Though the perpetual search for Ersatz in Germany may be a testimony to German ingenuity, it is proof of the penury of German economy.There is even a shortage of the substitutes themselves, and the list of Ersatz products that may be used for making Ersatz coffee grows daily shorter and shorter.Clothing has long since been rationed.Yet, the quantity grows scarcer and the quality steadily worse.One of the most convincing signs of Germany's economic weakness is the condition of her export trade.The British \u201cblockade\u201d has shut her off from overseas markets, but certain aspects of her continental trade to countries to which she still has access reveal her internal ¢co- nomic enfeeblement.There is.for example.the decree by which all motor cars leaving Germany have to leave their tires behind them at the frontier.There could be no clearer indication of the German shortage of rubber\u2014a shortage which her Ersatz rubber cannot make good.By contrast.the Allies have abundant supplies of rubber.In 1938 the British and French Empires produced some 55 per cent of the total world output.and they obtain considerable foreign exchange by selling rubber to the United States.Conditions.too.in the German steel industry are such that German steel for export may no longer be strengthened with nickel.Even for her own armourplate and aircraft requirements Germany is deficient in nickel.She can neither produce it nor obtain it in any appreciable quantities.Nearly 90 per cent of the world output comes from Canada.and most of the rest from Burma and French New Caledonia.In an attempt to relieve this shortage, Germany recently called in all her nickel coins\u2014a procedure which will have yielded some 1.500 tons, or the equivalent of Germany's normal consumption of nickel in two months of peace.Germany's problems are further revealed when it that is is now the common German practice not to export finished articles unless the foreign buyer has supplied the raw material for them.Thus, German tinplate mills refuse to supply neutral countries with plates unless the latter provide the : tin.Once again the contrast with the Allied position is striking.In 1938.the British Empire produced 62,000 .tons of tin.or nearly 40 per cent of the world total.Not only can the Allies obtain all the tin their mills require, whether for domestic or export requirements.but they are in a position to supply neutrals with large quantities of the metal itself.In many cases Germany's shortage of raw material is such that even her foreign customers have to take Ersatz products.Thus, Ger- man \u201cwoollens\u201d for Scandinavia are now to be made with only 70 per cent of real wool.mixed with 30 per cent of substitutes.There is no shortage of wool in Allied countries.The British Empire includes three of the five lead- | spell FORD TRACTOR Ferguson System @ One of the big advantages of the lightweight Ford tractor

Relief will be discontinued in June.Mayor J.Armand Larin informed the members of the Valley- field Council at its weekly meeting Wednesday evening.The unemployed were advised to find employment in the near future as relief will be discontinued for an indefinite period of time.\u201cThose who have jobs must keep them,\u201d cautioned Mayor Larin, \u201cbecause it is very probable that relief will be discontinued permamently.\u201d This decision was brought about following a remark by Ald.Viau, who stated that certain employees on the relief list failed to report for work on a certain Saturday morning.As a result of this action they lost their jobs.These same local citizens who were being helped by the municipal council, have been replaced by men from Sorel.Que., who are more stable and punctual at their work.The Montreal Cottons seck young men for their plant.the council disclosed.and it is probable that the work on the canal will employ many hands during the summer months.Taking these factors into consideration the council decided to abolish relief so as to enable the city to meet its financial obligations.At the opening of the meeting the city clerk read a letter from Messrs.Pitt and Poulin asking for an increase in salary.Adelard Touchette claimed damages from the council for damages to his car on Ste.Cecile Street.The Municipality of Lake St.Louis asked the sum of $125 for the upkeep of the road during the Easter week-end storm.Ald.Viau objected to this last claim, stating that all the roads in the province were blocked by this storm and that Valleyfield was no exception.Ald.Lecompte regretted the council's attitude toward certain municipal employees.Some of these men, he stated, work for the city throughout the summer months and when winter comes they are more or less neglected.The taxes at the Valleyfleld Bronze Powder Works were definitely fixed at this meeting.According to the by-law passed, the company will now pay $1.65 per hundred dollars on

last to see these crack amateur teams in action.The Royals have many supporters in this section of the county but Kirkland Lake lined up a lad who made quite a reputation for himself in the same playdowns last season with Valleyfield Braves.Jo-Jo Graboski.one of the fastest amateur hockey players in Canada today, lined up with the northem- ers and played his usual good game.Only 25 years old and weighing about 180 lbs.Graboski is one of the most dangerous scorers on .the Kirkland Lake squad.He carried most of the load when Valleyfjeld Braves eliminated Cornwall in the finals of the Provincial League last season and was one of the best players in the Royals-Valleyfield series in April, 1939.He is sought by the best Canadian amateur teams but it would not be surprising to see him with Montreal Royals, along with his brother.Tony Graboski.A well-known Montreal sports writer says: \u201cOne of the most colorful brother acts in amateur hockey may be seen in Montreal next year .The boys, Jo-Jo Graboski, the one-eyed Kirkland Lake flash, and Tony Graboski, bespectacled Sydney Millionaire de- fenceman.\u201cGus Ogilvie, of the Royals, was spotted the other day in earnest conversation with both the Grabos- kis .Gus was doing a lot of talking and the Graboskis were merely nodding .They seemed {to be in full agreement with what Gus was saying, so don't be surprised if they're with the Royals next season .Gus has a very persuasive way of talking and it's a cinch they weren't discussing the high price of eggs.\u201cSomebody was saying last week that if Royals don't win the Allan Cup this year they'll never win it.because it'll take them a long time to get such a starry organization together again .But Gus has to be shown and he's out after the best in the land

Vance\u2014In loving memory of my dear brother, Alex.Vance, who passed away April 14th, 1939.Sadly missed by his sister Lottie Fascinating Address on Use of Paints D.J.Courville of C-I-L Paint Division Gives Instructive Address D.J.Courville, Supervisor of Trade Sales, Paint and Varnish Division of Canadian Industries Ltd., delivered a highly illuminating address on the paint and varnish products of *his well known firm at a meeting held at the Hun- tingdon Chateau last night.More than 30 people were in attendance.Delma Montpetit introduced Mr.Courville who spoke on behalf of the local agent of C-I-L paints and varnishes, Rolfe and Montpetit.Mr.Courville, a fascinating speal- er, told the audience that the finish on the bodies of 96 per cent of the automobiles produced in Canada was done with C-I-L products.\u201cIf C-I-L can produce a superior car finishing paint, doesn\u2019t it sound reasonable that C-I-L can produce a superior house paint?\u201d asked the speaker, The C-I-L manufactures a paint for every purpose today.Twenty years ago one paint was used for every purpose.Today, amongst the numerous paints and varnishes manufactured by the firm, are the following: Cilux quick drying enamel, flat wall paint, semi-gloss paint, interior gloss paint, quick drying varnishes, floor and porch enamel.Mr.Courville pointed out that there was no white lead used in C-I-L paints since the highly efficient staff of chemical engineers of the company had found other pigments to use in order to make paints of a much superior quality.He compared C-1-L paints and varnishes to paints and varnishes in which there was white lead as a 1940 model car to a 1920 model car and told how the graduate chemists of the Company were continually experimenting for a higher and higher type of paint.Mr.Courville stated the firm was proud to have as their representative in Huntingdon the hardware firm of Rolfe and Montpetit, which firm, he felt, was one which would continue to grow in favour in Hun- tingdon and district.A.Charbonneau, who is in charge of sales of paints and varnishes for the C-I-L in this district, spoke and stated he would be pleased to give advice on personal paint problems free of charge to anyone who might desire it.M.Allan, in charge of advertising for C-I-L paints in Ontario and Quebec, was present at the meeting.Obituary The Late Hugh Fallon Residents of Westville, N.Y., were stunned by the sudden and unexpected death of Hugh Fallon, 23, at the home of his parents, Mr.and Mrs.John Fallon on Monday night.He was stricken with an attack of the grippe only two weeks ago.Although he had since been confined to his bed his recovery had been anticipated until he took a sudden turn for the worse and passed away.Hugh was born in Westville, youngest of eight sons born to Mr.and Mrs.John Fallon.He attended Franklin Academy and St.Joseph's Academy in Malone and later graduated from the State School of Agriculture in Qanton.N.Y.Hugh was a member and officer of Westville Grange and was a member of St.Mary's Church, Fort Covington.Besides his parents he is survived by five brothers, Francis Fallon, Auburn; Henry Fallon, Trenton, N.J.; Frederick Fallon, Westville; Edmund Fallon, Ithaca; Arthur Fallon, Auburn, and Walter Fallon, Troy; and three sisters: Sister Joan- of-the-Cross.New Rochelle; Miss Genevieve Fallon, Hartford, Conn.and Miss Eileen Fallon, a student in St.Joseph's Academy.Funeral services will be held from St.Mary's Church, Fort Covington, at 10 o'clock Thursday morning.Burial will be in Fort Covington.Adding The Final Touch!! Clothes make the man, it is said; at least finely tailored apparel does much to help make his way in a world that places strong emphasis on appearance.Printing also accomplishes more when it is dressed up, given that extra touch that transforms it from a bit of ordinary paper covered with type impressions to an attractive specimen of real typographical art.We solicit your printing patronage For further particulars write: The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc.Printers and Publishers since 1863, HUNTINGDON, QUE.a Sport Snap sucre se es | ail ÉovD AMIGHTY.MITE' OF HUNTINÇDON ; LEAFS FIRST LINE-\u2026u.sarissvees .\\T BUL LACKAIN WEIGHT HE MAKES UP IN SPEED.| AS SN 4x .\u201cBILL 14 AN ARDENT FISHERMAN, AND HAS MADE SOME OF THE FINEST CATCHES.ON THE.LAKESHORE.uur.a EIT a I ME = Ve The number of men enlisted in| the last war from the United Kingdom and Empire countries, as well as the number of casualties, are {re- ! quently subjects of enquiry at this time, since a great many people are interested and few have the references at hand to inform themselves on points that may be in question.+ rr NE Pe eT Tr A STAR-STUDDED PREMIERE : Clark Gable and wife, Carole Lombard attend Hollywood premiere of \u2018David O.Selznick\u2019s Technicolor production \u201cGONE WITH THE WIND\u201d at the Carthay Circle Theatre, | EVEN SERGEANT SHOCKED A conscientious objector, member of a religious sect, used such foul language that he shocked even an ex-sergeant-major.The official from the engineering works where the young man was employed said: \u201cAs an ex-sergeant-major I am used to strong language, but he was so foul-mouthed he shocked even me.\u201d The man said he was leaving his work to join a religious sect to evade service.He was struck off the register without qualification.For Ensilage care, and worrying over wh grass returns, wouldn't you barn?will have it there.or roots.the barn or in the field, a great stalks dry out \u2014 the leaves fall so much in the mangers! enough to handle \u2014 if you have to chop the frozen shocks out of ice and snow it's harder still.No matter what the weather there it is \u2014 easy to get at easy to feed.So, THIS year, ae = on EE, PLANT A FIELD OF CORN T this time of year, when you are rationing out the roots with succulent, appetizing, milk-making ensilage standing beside your Now is the time to plan ahead, so that NEXT March you As every farmer knows, le ble d'Inde gives a greater yield of roughage than any other common crop \u2014 much greater than hay If only you could keep it for feeding in Winter and Spring without so much waste and so much work!

Wallace Gruer Elected President of This Club on Saturday Howick Ayrshire Calf Club has long maintained a remarkable record for its successful achievements.It has sent Chateauguay Valley sons to judging competitions at Oka, Sherbrooke and the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, where they have won laurels for successful judging.The successful work done by the boys has been practised on the farms of their fathers with such satisfying results that these farmers have better herds of cattle today than ever before; and are able to market more purebred cattle year in and year out than ever before.Their livestock sales have so materially improved that many farmers are operating with a comfortable margin of profit compared with what they did years ago.Were we able to speak of certain farmers, the figures quoted would be little short of dumbfounding to farmers who have sons who did not take up with this Calf Club work when the opportunity was open to their boys and girls of \u2018teen age.Many of the Howick Calf Club boys have attained this 21st birthday which means that they automatically must sever their Calf Club membership.These boys never lose interest in the Calf Club and are found ever ready to help the rising generation of Club members.The Howick Ayrshire Calf Club has a membership of 14 boys.On Saturday these boys met at Burnside, where Professor Alex Ness of Macdonald College gave them a wonderful talk and practical demonstration as to what to look for in a cow; how to segregate the sections of a cow and value it.Following his appreciated talk.the boys were privileged to do some judging of Burnside animals.Prize money won by the Calf Club members at the fall show held at Chester Orr's was distributed.This amounted to $109.85 and was awarded to the following boys: Earl Templeton, $12.25; Allan Goundrey, $11.25; Wallace Gruer, $8.25; Donald Templeaon, $11.75; C.Orr, $9.75; Douglas Templeton, $9.50; Wilbur Anderson, $8.25; Wilbur Gruer, $9.75; Wilbur Orr, $4.50; Donald McKell, $9.60; Clifford Craig, $4.75; Caverhill Irving, $4.00; Stewart Kerr, $8.25, and Edwin Brown, £3.00.It will be noted that the junior members received less prize money than the older boys.This is perhaps largely due to the fact that they had fewer animals to enter the various classes.The club will have five new members for 1840.Officers for 1940 are as follows: Wallace Gruer.president; Murray Templeton, vice-president; Wilbur Anderson, secretary-treasurer; directors, Wallace Templeton, Mervyn Craig and J.E.Ness; club leader, R.J.Roy.Mr.Berthiaume, Canadian Ayrshire Breeders' Association fleldman, was present and lent further encouragement to the boys to persevere and become prominent breeders of Ayrshire cattle.Ormstown Muws.Jas.T.Elders group of the

the wolrd, at any time.If present expectations are realized there will come to visit us this year between 15 and 20 million Americans.Some of them will find their way to the farthest nooks and corners of the Dominion, They will be friendly, perhaps curious.They will be interested in Canada At War as much as they will be in visiting and revisiting our lakes, mountains and playgrounds.For two reasons this unique phenomenon of tourism is of greater importance to Canada this year than ever before.1.Canada needs American tourist dollars to help win this war.2.Canada must this year be interpreter as well as host to those visitors from a friendly but neutral democracy.First we must make sure that this hoped-for flood of tourist visitors really gets here.Just recently the Winnipeg Tribune drew attention to the fact that we spend $2 millions a year in our fishefies department in order to market about $40 millions of fish.In the business of tourism we spend $300,000 and hope to get $300,000,000 of trade.\u2018While we think it good business to spend $5 of federal funds for $100 worth of fish we spend only 10 cents to get $100 of tourist business.So long as we are war, the Am-T

little state like Illinois with not a fraction of the tourist opportunities that Canada possesses is spending a quarter of a million this year.Equal or larger expenditures are being made by state and tourist authorities all over the U.S.A.They know the value of merchandising their assets so as to gain a share of the record expenditure that is expected to be made by tourists on this continent in 1940.Canada has an excellent Travel Bureau which has been doing splendid work within its limited resources.It is greatly handicapped because it lacks the money to \u201cfollow through.\u201d \u2018The first essential of our tourist effort is to make sure we are doing a good enough sales job.Right now our national effort looks puny in relation to the opportunity that exists.If, as and when these tourists come to Canada, what are we going to tell them?It is a certainty that most of them will want to talk about the war.They will want to tell us, perhaps, why they are isolationist.They will want to know what we are thinking and doing.How well are we prepared to talk about \u201cthe Issues at stake?\u201d Is there a danger that we will sit back on our fence ralls or club chairs and sneer at

Montreal fixed Tuesday as the last day for the use of 1939 automobile license plates in this Province.The Provincial Police are carefully watching the motorists; outsiders will have to abide by the Montreal rules if they visit that city.Dan.Faubert, motor vehicle license issuer for Huntingdon, informed tne Gleaner on Tuesday afternoon that this same law will come into force here by the end of next week at the latest, Motorists are advised to purchase their 1940 automobile license plates within the next few days, or otherwise they may be subject to the penalties imposed.Starting Monday, Provincial traffic police staged a concerted drive on automobile owners who have failed to obtain their 1940 plates on the Island of Montreal.The offenders will be deprived of the use of their vehicles until the license has been renewed, the Montreal traffic department .of the Provincial Police announced on Monday.The declaration was brought about as many car owners continued to ignore the warnings given three weeks ago.It was a generous delay that the Department granted after March 1, on which date 1940 license plates were required.Provincial officers say they will not allow any further delay, now that most of the roads in the Province of Quebec are opcned, \u2019 The traffic department also declared that the drive would continue throughout this week, and will cover automobiles both in and outside the Montreal limits.Cars will be taken to the nearest garage, their owners will recelve summonses and the machines will be impounded until new permits have been procured.By the end of the week, it is expected that all cars without 1940 plates will have been caught in the net.Traflic constables have been ordered to be more severe this year as far as operators\u2019 permits are concerned.Owners are also warned to have their brakes and lights in perfect condition as the police will not tolerate any laxity in these particulars during the coming season.HIT HEAD COLD MISERY Right Where It Hits Youl CLEAR YOURNOSE of suffocatingmucus \u2014open up your cold-clogged head\u2014 breathe more freely!

Of Old Halifax ~- Brief Review of War Situation (Written especially for The Huntingdon Gleaner) By DONALD C.MACDONALD was a constant drone of airplanes shelter the merchant fleet, with its as they patrol the coast-line, on the tens of thousands of tons of food- constant watch for the enemy, in| stuffs, fuel and war materials, thus any manner that he might approach.It is a work that demands infinite patience, efficiency and persistence; for it is one thing to do your duty when the enemy strikes every now and then to keep you on the alert, but it is even a higher devotion to duty that is required to do these tasks when the enemy has never appeared in over six months of warfare.And yet there can be no let-up, for as sure as there is, then the blow will fall \u2014and the damage is done.Besides the comparatively slow- moving patrol planes, periodically one may see a bomber out for the practice flying which alone can maintain efficiency.They zoom through the skies ana, when flying low, the roar of their engines reverberates through the streets in a manner that cannot help but make one realize the fear that seizes civ- illans in war-torn Europe when these messengers of death arrive from overhead.As I watched these machines, there flashed through my mind the description of one British M.P.of the German raid on the Firth of Forth last Fall.Said he, \u201cThe planes dove with such speed and fury that it almost seemed as though they had been hurled through the sky by some giant hand.\u201d Departure of a Convoy But nowhere was my luck with me more than one morning when I reached an admirable vantage point to see spread before me one of the most impressive sights one could ask for.Strung out over the horizon was a line of ships, taking their position in convoy, ready to start for some British port.Boats were still quietly moving in from their anchored position to that in the \u2018line which extended out through the gate in the submarine net to the vast expanse of the open sea.In this giant pattem, each captain assumed the place assigned to him the carefully worked out plans of the convoy conference.Few things are so much a matter of perfect timing and co-ordinated effort.Soaring overhead were the planes keeping watch while the convoy arrangements were completed, and then they would accompany the flotilla some distance to sea.Out of sight\u2014or if they were in sight, they were undetected by this landlubber's eye\u2014were the men-of-war of the Navy whose guns were to F.C.Moore HUNTINGDON Z.Perron VALLEYFIELD ® GMC prices start with the lowest.Features include GMC heavy duty engines, Rider-Ease Cabs \u2014 large load capacities \u2014 Synchro-Mesh Transmission.Come in and see the extra value you get in a GMC.Rug GMC % van Gagné & Fortier ST.CHRYSOSTOME beginning their slow march to the fields of Europe.These are some of the sinews of war that Canada is providing.I was able to see, however, the tower and masts of a battleship, otherwise hidden from view; but it was at anchor waiting for the next convoy.Life in the Maritimes Quite apart from all this wartime activity few parts of Canada can hold more interest for the visitor than the Maritimes, with their historic places and traditions that are as old as any on this continent.There is Saint John, of which I wrote last week, so typical of that U.EL.atmosphere, Throughout northern New Brunswick you see numerous little villages, each a cluster of homes centred by a small, high-steepled church \u2014 the typical habitant village of French-Canada.Then there is Moncton, for its size, perhaps the busiest railroad centre in the Dominion; or St.Stephen, on the American border, one of four towns that all merge, two on each side of the line, where the people of two nations.one at war, and one at peace, mingle with one another in a fashion that leaves so many Europeans open-eyed with wonder.Or there is Halifax, with its magnificent harbour, so large that all the British Navy could be anchored in it with ease.One afternoon.I visited the old Parliament Buildings and saw the little state room so beautifully refurnished for the Royal visit; the place to one side of its door where Joseph Howe away back in the 1830's once cut a hole in the wall, through which he entered to overhear the schemings of the Council of Ten, a clique into whose hands the government of the colony had fallen; the room next door where his trial for the misdemeanour was held and where he held forth so long and eloquently in his own defence that he was acquitted to start a political career that carried on for thirty-five years; and out across the street the building where he published his paper with its scourging of political heel- ers.Halifax Explosion But it is impossible to visit Halifax, especially in time of war, with- out recalling that disaster of the last war, whose scars are still in evidence.For in the narrow neck of water that joins the harbour with Bedford Basin, with Dartmouth lying on one shore and a residential part of Halifax on the other, two steamers collided, and a cargo of four thousand tons of TNT exploded to reduce to utter ruin all the buildings on the hillsides, and broke the windows throughout the whole city.One gentleman, now president of a Halifax firm, told me how he was sitting in his office at the time; when he heard the deep boom and queried \u201cWhat's that?\u201d his words were cut short by the shattering of a glass partition which fell from behind, down on his head, making many nasty cuts, among them a severed vein.\u201cBut,\u201d he remarked, \u201cmine was only a scratch by comparison with many;\" for nearer the disaster, every building tumbled as if made of pasteboard, burying upwards of two thousand people in the ruins.The next day, amid the rush of rescue work, the hurrying to and fro of doctors, hospitals filled to overflowing, people unable to get medical attention, the dull December skies darkened and a blizzard howled through the city with its open windows, burying the ruins in snow that increased the difficulties of rescue work a hundredfold.As if in memory to that catastrophe.there may be seen here and there foundations covered with dried grass and ivy.even though the city has been rebuilt; or a church whose basement, mostly underground, has been roofed and used since that day without its upper stories.Another Nazi Blitzkrieg At the close of this week it would be impossible to forbear some remarks on the latest from Europe.We have all watched the stage being set in greater preparation;

appearance of inactivity in the struggle as a \u201cphony war.\u201d They were to be found, perhaps in the greatest numbers in the United States, but also in most of the Allied countries.In his last radio broadcast, Winston Churchill lashed out at those who complacently asked \u201cWhat's this war all about,\u201d and added that should the Allies ever stop fighting before the job was done, the world would soon find out what it was all about.Why We Are Fighting And now Hitler has revealed to us once again, most vividly, just why we are fighting.For six years we disregarded the Nazi threat (1933- 1939).Here it is again, in all its icy clarity: European and world domination, as all peoples beyond the exclusive ranks of the \u201cpure- blood Germans\u201d are to be reduced to vassals of the Nazi state and victims of Hitler's insatiable lust for power.Not since the days of 1914-18 when European freedom was threatened by the ruthless Prussian militarism; not since the days of Napoleon has a nation and its people been so successfully organized to realize a diabolical scheme of domination of all other peoples; not since the days of Attila the Hun has there been such a cynical manifestation of barbarism, all the more incredible in this day of supposed tventieth century civilization\u2014now all of these are rolled into the one thing called Naziism.It is that we face In this last mad escapade, Hitler has met for the first time a power as great as his own, and proving itself to be greater, for the German fleet, it appears, is being systematically annihilated.Thwarted as he is, war may break out with relentless fury, anywhere, any time.\u2014 - = We left our Division resting for the night after an unexciting day's march into enemy country.The night has passed and all is bustle as daylight again begins; and the army is again preparing to continue its progress.Of course in a series of articles such as this it is not possible to go into the details of any operation, or series of operations, but we must content ourselves with general principles only.We will suppose that some information has been obtained which would indicate that possibly the enemy would put up some resistance to the advance, and therefore the OC.makes some change in his method of advancing.What may lave to be termed, the non-fight- ing part of the force, are put definitely in the rear of the advance, and, in fact, may not leave the village where they spent the night.These are the men of the Quartermaster Services, Advanced Hospital units, Transport Services, ete.etc, and they can move forward if the way is open to them later on, The O.C.Division may also make his hendquarters here.or he may move into a more advanced location depending upon circumstances.We arc calling them non-fighting because to actually take part in the attack is not their first obligation to the army, but they can and do take part in the fighting when and if the occasion should so demand.Extra ammunition and extra rations are issued to the fighting units.and more or less detailed instructions, are issued to the fighting units and more or less detailed instructions are issued to the subordinate commanders, the O.C.bat- tallions, Cavalry, Engineering units, etc.A greater degree of caution is now required both in the advanced guard and in the advance of the main body.During the night and the early hours of the morning certain of the troops will likely have pushed forward and occupied stragetic points along the route to be followed by the main army.These stay in position until other units again occupy other strategic points in advance so that the whole advance is protected by troops occupying position to defend and protect the advance.We will suppose our armoured

mines which had previously been placed under them and discharged by means of buried cable, Now how shall we get across Well, there are some shallow spots; we can perhaps ford the river, suppose we make such an attempt.(This is the advanced guard doing this), We find we are in effective range of the enemy artillery, and te force a crossing in face of such artillery fire is too costly.Some Engineer units have come up and begin dismantling some barns, etc, for timber to construct a bridge over which to cross, but they too come under artillery fire and soon the buildings are in flames, and this attempt needs to be abandoned.Well, if we cannot cross at any of the shallow places, and the buildings from which we could obtain timber from which to build a bridge are bemg burnt down, and the river is too deep to cross in any cther way, we might just as well go back home.Still, perhaps, we can yet make some other effort.Full information has been sent back and most likely the advanced
