Many good folk with about conditions after the _____ “What about conditions should, we not win th© war? what Germany has done in Europe where the iron fist has prevailed. We' know something of what the Japanese have done in Hong Kong. We know, too, that Japan is keen on the scent for Alaska and British Columbia. What if the course of Japan be not stayed? We ask another question that is /pertinent just now, “What If the democracies continue playing politics? He’s not the wisest man in the world who tries to get rich by stealing from his own pockets. - “THAT’S NOT THE WAY TH^SE TIMES” We were recounting an experience in’ the life of the Duke o£- Wellington as he was kicking Napoleon’s Marshals out of Spain. A. ,messenger who had been sent to bring up a British general to the support of Wellington in an approaching battle found the Duke eat­ ing his breakfast off the ground. “Your Excellency," announced the messenger, “General V. cannot be here till four tomorrow!” Without looking up, came the reply, “I’ll not need him by that time!” and he didn’t. The battle had been won. The general who could eat his breakfast with the cold earth for his table had resources that others did not know o£. Many soldiers these days don’t eat off the ground, dining on hard fare. Neither do they win victories after the fashion of Wellington. . ******** * WORTHY Mr. Hanson’s statement in the House of Commons on hearing of the satanic atrocities of the Japanese soldiers practised on Brit­ ish women and children who had fallen into their hands at Hong Kong, was worthy of a Canadian statesman and Christian, He warn­ ed his Canadian fellow-citizens .against reprisals upon the Japanese as, unchristian and uncanadian. That’s the way of the real thing in Canadian leadership. We make war when it is forced upon us but we make war upon men who are prepared to defend themselves, not .upon prisoners or upon women and children. Mr. Hanson de­ clared that there can be no peace till folk who acted as the Japan­ ese are alleged to have acted in Hong Kong are beaten to /utter and final helplessness. What other course lies open to reasonable « * * * # ♦ * * LET THE HIGH UPS GET UOWN TO IT We have just heard of an incident something like this, military officers were summoned by high authority to visit thing like the central office. To comply with the request a journey of several hundred miles was involved. What of it? Each officer took his own. car for the trip, thus employing four cars when one car would have met the occasion. In all this we hope that we are mistaken. We cannot think that our Canadian government would have allowed conduct so wasteful under the circumstances in which our country finds itself. This is the sort.of wicked waste that means woeful want. The citizens of‘this country are prepared to pinch ’ themselves in every way to provide the ways and means of getting on with the war, but they become savagely angry when their savings are wantonly wasted. We wonder how much could be saved every day if the business of our camps in regard to feeding the men and providing Tor their real necessities were carried on on the lines of common sense frugality. This country is at war. T * it < * * * * SOMETHING LIKE The British people did well when they told Mr. Churchill that he must get his cabinet on something like an efficient war basis. He winced a bit under this stern criticism but he had the sense to profit by it. Necessities are being given something like their proper place., For instance, the soldier is being taught what his rifle and bayonet are for, and he is being skilled in getting that purpose carried out. “Inspecting the guard of honor” is all very well in its way; but the soldier is intended to be a firstielass fighting man who knows what to do when the enemy is abroad. The new way is doing this very thing. Fighting ships are all very well for photographing purposes, but what they are required 'to do'is to blow the enemy’s ships out of the sea, Lately they have served as targets for the enemy to practise pn, in one way and.another. We’re •’ getting tired of hearing of this and that ship’s being sent to Davy Jones’ locker. We’re looking for.the new men to correct a good deal of this. Our soldiers are brave. When well 'led they give the best account of themselves in the world. What they need is leader­ ship that will give them the privilege of winning victories instead of beating retreats. the the bent, so is the tree inclined,” we look into the future with a good deal of anxiety, in view of these court facts. We do not think that Toronto has the monopoly of low moral conditions. What about it anyway? The home had better ask this question, for the home stands first in the matter of moulding character. Are parents So busy making mousy and running here and there to meet­ ings of one sort and anothei’ that they are allowing their children to take the left hand road? What about the school? The schools have these youngsters under their care for six hours in the day for five days in the week. Have the schools been so busy with other things than grounding their charges in sound learning and in real play that they are allowing youth to take the line of least resis­ tance? Have the churches allowed these youngsters to slip through their fingers because of lack of attention? We do not believe that the youngsters have more of original sin than had the youth of forty years ago. That’s hardly possible. At any rate we’d‘better put dur brains in steep. * • * * * * ♦ GET BEADY We are not, crepe hangers. We are not Doleful Doras. We are calamity howlers. Still less are we doubtful of thd quality of bloOd in the veins of our readers. For that reason we are not Hence Wd fear that very dark days not the the sort to abuse our position as responsible newspaper men. we must state things as we see them, _ - are ahead, At this moment the Japanese advance is not checked. They are Winning every objective they attack. Australia lies direct­ ly in their path, Their shadow has fallen on India. They are with­ in, cannon shot of the coasts of this continent. The Germans have destroyed United States shipping within sixty miles Of New York. The mighty Russian army backed by Russian winter, has won back in all the long months of winter but one-tenth of the territory won by the Germans in a few weeks. German canon are getting ready to devour the oil fields of the Caucasian mountains. Britain is getting ready to eat black bread. Little by little# the hour is coming when the necessities of her table will be fewer and fewer and more un­ palatable. * Let no One be surprised if service station after ser­ vice station in this country will be closed and gasoline will be avail­ able for none but war purposes. Store shelves soon will have loss to offer their customers. We don’t like to say all this to our readers but we dare not Say “Peace! Peace” when there is no peace. We are likely soon to know the meaning of that so often lightiy-usod ex­ pression, tan all-out war effort”. There is nothing so fatal as being at “ease in Elon” * * * * * * ♦ “INSUFFICIENTLY PREPARED” Again and again since the fateful autumn of 1939 we have heard these dreadful words, “Insufficiently prepared”. Disaster has invariably been associated with their use. We heard the same words in 1914. For some terrible reason we are likely to keep on using them till we face ruin. General Wavell does not mince words in this connection. Singapore illustrates the point in question. The good folk of that region simply would not heed those who told them disaster was right on their heads. We do not need to make refer­ ences to events nearer heme. What we do wish to urge is that in the business and social affairs of this good province we must not be & caught napping. There is every danger that we may be caught in that very situation, We may be caught unready, mentally and spiritually quite unequal to enduring real hardness. “For us,” we say, “things will go on pretty much as they have gone on.” Let us hope that the conjecture is a sound one. At the same time many signs indicate something like real deprivation, England has gone that way already., Why should we not pass under the rod as well as they? To go into such time undisciplined is to invite the sorest sort of trouble. To pay as one goes, to be punctual and regular and dependable, to give one’s strength and substance only to necessary things, to have a job and to get it well done—these are a few of the things that help to a disciplined life that will stand, up under the strain of any situation and will go a long way towards preventing the condition of being “not sufficiently prepared.” ******** KEEPING THE MARE GOING” Men wise in other matters are sure that the war will not be over for some time to come. The pull is likejy to prove long and hard. Ip that case we mqy as Well get down to ‘ways and means of sus­ taining the struggle. And first of all, there is need of a full sustain­ ing of the church and all she stands for. Some of the church meet- X>„ings may need leaving out for the duration. On the other hand, the regular church services must be kept up to the mark in quality and attendanUm-^Qpod reading gives life and hope by supplying infor­ mation. and wholesome" ideals. The youngsters never will be young again. Youth is the time to lay the foundations of sound learning. Business looks to every one of ius to be sustained in volume if pos­ sible and in quality at any cost. Good judgment and alert sales- mamship are the requirements of the times. In no case will the wise mourn over former times. Nothing, in any line of activity will take the place of the high resolve that what can be done will be done, and well done. The down-at-knee-and-hpel way of carrying on results in failure and the closed door. The old adage of “Where there’s a will there’s a way,” applies to our present circumstances. Town and township and country repairs are neglected at our peril.* Alertness, in matters like these are greatly needed at this hour. Noth- | ing but the best possible must be allowed to pass muster in any walk I of life. Our haste to get on with the war will be furthered by good 1 methods in the store, on the farm and in the home. He steps fastest who steps wisely. If goods that formerly filled our business shelves cannot be obtained, they must be replaced by goods that will meet the demands of the present day. The alert manufacturei* and retailer will see that this Is done. There is plenty of money in people’s pock­ ets. It is the function of trade to insure its getting into community and nation-building channels. The old order belongs to yesterday. To-day and its needs demand other goods and methods than those that served effectually before yesterday’s sun set. The mare must be kept going.

A report of the trial was published in last week’s paper. The case for the de­ fence closed with two witnesses Who heard the crash between the truck driven by Fred Kohl and a car driven by Mr. Messer. Allan David­ son and William McLaren, both of Hensall, were, in buildings at the corner where the accident occurred. Both testified that it was several minutes before another car appear­ ed on the scene of the crash. are satisfactory, his benefit will be paid weekly by a cheque mailed to him. O Unemployment Insurance Commission With benefits not payable under the Unemployment Insurance Act, all workers within the scope of the Act should understand the proced­ ure necessary to apply foi- benefit. Mr. R. N. Watt, Manager of the Local Employment and Claims Of­ fice has furnished the Times- Advo­ cate with a statement of the neces­ sary details. When a worker becomes unem­ ployed he must get his ■ Uuemploy- ment Insurance book from his em­ ployer, take it to the nearest Em­ ployment and Claims Office if he lives within easy travelling distance of the nearest office, and deposit it there. A receipt for it will be giv­ en to him, and this he must keep as long as his book is in the local of­ fice. While he is at the office he must complete the required forms to make application for benefits. The first nine days, of unemploy­ ment aftei* he makes a claim are waiting days and no benefit is pay­ able for these days. It is not neces­ sary that these days run consecu­ tively. If no work is found for him and he continues to be unemployed and satisfy the conditions, a benefit cheque is to be issued weekly. The above procedure applies to all workers who might reasonably be expected to call personally, at a full-time or part-time local office. For those wlm do not live within reasonable distance of a local office of the Unemployment Insurance Commission/ other arrangements have been made. In a number of towns and villages a special part- time representative will be sent out by the Unemployment Insurance Commission to deal with any bene­ fit claims which may arise, claimants with him, claims to amination, Persons, living in districts where no office has been established and to which an itinerant represents* tive is not sent Will file claims for benefit by mail. Any worker in such ah area who becomes unem­ ployed should mail his Insurance to the nearest Employment and Claims Office, state that he is un­ employed and that he wishes to re­ gister for benefit. A receipt for his Insurance book and the neces­ sary forms which every worker who applies for benefit must fill out will ba sent to him. These forms must be completed and returned to the local office, If the claimant is qualified to re­ ceive benefit# he must continue to prove his unemployment by mail each week. After the nine waiting days have been completed# if tie has no work and the other conditions “.Wart” *•■ Said Gort, Referring To Goering. This very month your income tax is due.
