The designers think maybe it is time tp go back to the 1940's, and the two-button style. (Maybe you won't have to sew that bot- tom button back on, after all). What really is exciting about the male dress, is the tendency toward string ties of all the gay hues; bow ties (now that political al- legience. is shown by this style) and the ier- fectly giddy jackets in all the bright colours of the rainbow! CAMPAIGNS CURRENT CAMPAIGN for funds in this area is that for the Red Cross. For years the people of this area have given generously to this worthy cause, and are now in the process of giving again, Conducted locally under the chairmanship of A. J.

PREPAREDNESS IS ESSENTIAL THE DANGER OF disaster, either of nat- ural causes, or by man-made ware, is real and certain, All those who read, who listen, and are aware of the world about them will concede this. If disaster should come, through the vagaries of nature, then we have no way of predicting ahead of time just where it will strike. How- ever, that is no reason to sit quietly and refuse to be prepared. If disaster should come through the result of man's inhumanity to each other, then we have some idea of where it is most probable to strike. The bombs .,of enemye aircraft would most naturally be directed to those areas where they would do the most harm.—in this modern world, that means factory cities, industrial areas. According to the best predictions, that would NO MAJOR DISASTER by shutting out the driver in the next lane?

Frank Tumpane, a Toronto newspaper columnist of redoubta- ble valour and unimpeachable in- tegrity, recently came out with a column that requires an answer. Reason is that he doesn't know what he's talking about, Mr. Tamparre has a trenchant style and a vigour.ous vocabulary that are admirable, ordinarily, when he is on a subject of which he has some knowledge. But every so often, he mounts a horse of a different colour, lowers his visor so nothing will distract him, and gallops off the deep end, e 'I' When this happens; as one who has had much experience in clanib- ering out of similaraby.sses of ignorance, I feel it is only my duty to throw him something to cling to. Like a harpoon maybe, 0 In this particular column, Mr, Tumpane, wielding his prose like a sabre, lays about him at the people who claim they have seen a fly- ing saucer.

I wonder how much research Mr. T. did before coming out with that nice, fat, &Weeping statement, Twenty minutes? Thirty? Or did he just ask the fellow at the next desk? Of course as a conscientious newspaperman, he checked with competent authorities before de- claring that we crackpots are suf- fering from delusions. Or did he? Just in case he didn't, I did. * And I can tell our aver-emphatic friend that the Ground Observer Corps of the RCAF don't sneer at reports Of unidentified flying 'ob- jects.

We spoke to one New Canadian woman, „who had left Holland when 22, and so had an opportunity to vote there if she had ,wished. She never had. Since becoming a Canadian citizen she has voted twice, Why? Well, she says, you might as well go and vote, for "they keep coming for you all day. You might as Well vote and get it over with. In Holland they don't bother coming to persuade you out," WOMEN'S FASHIONS have always been a puzzle to men---and to women, too: The latest fad for 'sack dresses, we feel, will very soon go the way of all fads,, Including the college habit of swallowing live goldfish, and like en- deavours.

The answer oto most of these problems can be found through the instruction possible through civil defence courses. The government of the province and of Canada are willing to help the local, municipality to bear the cost of such courses. It remains only for the town to ask for it, and be prepared to set up headquarters for such instructicei to be given. Surely, the insurance bought would be well worth the cost.
