Verne Harness Writes to his Brother <
wW
We- are not alarmists, but we urge the people of this region;
to take a serious thought or two about a possible blackout that may
be ordered at any time. To give our reasons for saying this is not
in the public interest. The reasons exist. There is no occasion for
panic, Still less is there justification for living in a fool’s paradise.
This is another instance of the timely stitch. Why chatter away
about “Peace!. Peace!” when there is no peace. Before this article
reaches our readers,- shells may he falling in Vancouver and Halifax
and Ottawa, to bay nothing of othfer places of military importance.
AN INTERESTING LINK
Canadians who remember tlie early days of the last Great War
will keenly regret the passing 'on Thursday last of the Duke of
,Connaught, who was at that period Governor-General of Canada,
His Excellency was greatly liked in Canada. He belonged to the
old school and exemplified some of its finest traditions. He was
every inch an aristocrat of the school of Queen Victoria and every
inch a gentleman. It is well for us to pause amid the roar of the air-*
planes and cannon of the present hour to think of this man of
truly royal blood Who did all that anyone could do throughout a
Jong lifetime, to defend the Empire and to preserve its best tradi
tions, The world has need of just such men.
THOSE EXEMPTIONS
Canadians may as well admit that’ there is a war on in which
they are somewhat interested. They may as well admit, too, that
the war is costing money and that it will cost a good deal more
money. Further, they may as well own that the war will be *won
only by sweat and toil and blood and tears, in which every citizen
is bound to have his share, Whether he likes to have things that
way or not. Why, then, all- those eagerly-sought-for exemptions
from the imperious call for national service. If the government is
making all-out the national effort, every citizen must press equally
into the collar. Any unfairness of burden-bearing must be adjusted.
Canada will not tolerate the principle of feeding only the pig that
squeals the loudest. That is poor national husbandry.

inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pui’suit of happiness but

THOSE CHANGES'
z For some time our military leaders were ruled by their sense
. of their own importance. There was a big job ahead of them, and
they gave a good deal of time thinking about the dignity and the
• importance of tvhat was expected of them rather than to getting
this and that done in the way of beating the enemy. The enemy-
did not look >at things in that way. Nor have the public taken
that view of things. The British people were .tremendously willing
to serve, not in the way of admiring theories or in listening to
t, speeches that told of the treachery of the enemy, but in the way of
getting on ’with, the job of winning the war. Back door influences
and parlor jim-cracks were given a short shrift and men who want
but one thing—victory—have been put in their place. The rattling
aijiong the dead bones has been good to hear. Russia was .amazingly
silent for the last twenty years. Her motto 'was “little talk and much
work.” All the vjorld sees the results of
methods. , .♦ V « «
ENOUGH TO GO ROUND
.Some United States manufacturers have
thair country. For instance, these, wide-awake
seem to practise that there is enough in the ___ _________ __
war &nd at the same time afford plenty to feather their nests up
to' the brim. While broadcasters by the score are calling upon
every messenger boy and apprentice to save every scrap of wrap
ping papei’ and every used envelope that they may purchase wai’
stamps, these -enterprising manufacturers are chopping off big
chunks of profits, the public, meanwhile, fondly believing that
the big fellows are carrying on to the vanishing point of profits..
Is there anything like this going on in Canada? Parents who
have given their children for tile cause of freedom do not like
to think that the favorites of one sqrt and another are filling their
pouches while the folk who pour out their lifeblood are left holding .
the bag. . We’.d like to be assured that if any of the big fellows
make large amounts of profits out of the world’s agony, that those
profits shall be taken from them and devoted to the national good.* * * * * * * *
NEED OF THE, WEATHER EYE
Last week we said that Germany is far from beaten. This week
we are saying that the hour has come for John Bull and Uncle Sam
and their national friends to keep their weather eye open. Russia’s
successes may prove our snare. There is something uncanny about
it all. Surely Germany did not lose her prestige in a day. We are
delighted at her retreat. Yet the history of war is that some
nations are iievei’ quite so dangerous as when they seem to be
defeated. Germany has deceived us before. She may be up to
her Old tricks this minute. For instance, the African Campaign has •
not proven to be the walk-over it promised to be a very few weeks
ago. Is Germany laying some plot and preparing some trap to
work terrible disaster upon the Russian army1? The last thing
that Germany Wants is to have her soil invaded* The only thing
that will satisfy the reasonable men of the fellies is their Occupation
of Berlin and all that Berlin stands for. We should bote that we
are far from that point. And we’ll not reach that point till a
deal of shaking has been done axnong the incompetents in high
places. Things are as they are. Why deceive ourselves? *

In the evening we sat around the
house and listened to the radio and!
played with the baby. Their little
girl is just ovex* a year old and is
one of the best-natured children I
ever saw. She hardly ever makes
a fuss at all. We had a great time
with her. Took her Out in the
pram on several occasions and when
Mr. Stewart took us to visit with
his parents we took little Margaret
along tod. When it rolled around
bedtime, Mr. Stewart asked us
if we would like a good hot bath on
account of bur long journey and
we told him, yes, we would. By
' Gosh! talk about Iservice. Ba'tln
robes, dressing gowns and silk
pyjamas. He even came in and
gashed our backs for us and later
tucked us into bed and turned,
out. the light for us. That was
just the sort of treatment that we
had fox* our whole leave. Hb seem
ed to think of everything. My cig
arette lighter was out of flints and
I couldn’t obtaki any. Matches ace
also very hard to obtain so lie gave
us *a small box each morning. I
guess he must have bought up a
few .some time before the real
shortage. It is almost impossible
to buy pork but we went out one
day on a shopping expedition and
managed to get seven good big pork
chops. The civilians can’t get pork
at all because they make it all up
into potted meats of all kinds with
a filler which makes it go much
further, but yours truly went in
with tears as big a hen’s eggs in
his eyes and told a Story about be
ing overseas almost two years and
not having had pork more Ilian
twice. He tbok a look at me and
said with a sigh: “Well, What can
I do when you come to me with a
story like that. He said lie could
let me have a couple but being with
the folks I couldn't very well take
two home and none for them, so
When I explained the situation to
him he cut me seven beauties.
Boy, oh boy! Were they ever good.
The first one I had was served
along with an egg* I imagine they
get three eggs between the three
of them for their rations for one
month and they fed two of them
to us, I put up a howl about tak
ing their eggs but it was to no
avail, Mrs. Stewart made potato
fritters with the next issue of chops
and honestly, I never tasted the
equal of them. I sure had to re
mark about how good they were*
I tasted some Scotch haggis, too,
while there. I have heard about it
lots of times, but had never tasted
it before. It was real nice, too. I
think it is something along the
line of tripe but just the same it
is roally tasty.
