As he moved along he picked up a hitch-hiker who proved to be the driver of an army truck. Our friend was eager to see how the army driver performed and gave him the wheel. “It was the best bit of driving I ever enjoyed,’’ our friend reported. “The army teaches you to drive one way and no other,” the army man explained. Is there a valuable hint in all „this? We had the privilege of asking a surgeon about a very deli­ cate bit of his professional activity. “I never pick up what I can’t lay -down,” he told us. “This thing does not consist in practice. You must learn the right way and do it in no other way.” The same surgeon was responsible, financially, for the training of a young man. This youth completed a post graduate course and came back to -his sponsor who asked him to undertake an operation.

Only close inquiry reveals the cost to the merchants in establishing this record. Difficulty after difficulty has been en­ countered by the men and women who have served us. Some mer­ chandisers have gone down under the strain. Every day these try­ ing times there are new difficulties in the way of restrictions and prohibitions. Still our dealers meet us with smiling faces and with no word of complaint. All these citizens ask is a fail’ deal. They seek no favours. They do not ask that they should carry on at any customer’s loss. Their policy is live and let liVe. Meanwhile Main Street pays an astonishingly large proportion of the taxes of the town, to say nothing of supporting every worthwhile enterprise for the good of the town and the locality. Why not, then, give these men a look in when a shopping list is being made out? We believe that the offerings of our merchants compare favorably in quality and money asked with those of advances, the need increases of ism. merchants anywhere.

During the past week we have had privileges that few per­ sons in Canada have experienced—to peep behind the scenes and see something of Canada’s war effort. To us the words tremendous, gigantic, stupendous, do not describe it; miraculous comes nearer to it. What man or group of men could devise and bring to accomp­ lishment in so short a time so gigantic a task is beyond the imagina­ tion. What we saw was just the fringes, but enough to cause us to visualize something of the enormity. As we stood on the parade ground at Manning Pool and saw the men in uniform and the new recruits not yet in uniform we pondered on the task of equipping, feeding, training and then sending them out to other training centres that had to be built and equipped in so short a time. Then later, as we saw machine guns being manufactured and saw something of the /machinery that first had to be made before the different parts of the machine guns could be made and we multiplied that by anti­ aircraft guns, marine engines, aeroplane ^engines, motor trucks, tanks, etc., the thought occurred to me—who am I to judge or criticize those who have undertaken so tremendous a job that has received the endorsation of the men at the top of our fighting forces and of our allies that know of Canada’s war effort. All we could think of was “Well Done Canada!” * * * * * ♦ * ♦ as Trade Marked Blue.

STRIPPED FOR ACTION When the Chinese saw that the Japanese fleet was stripping her one by one of her coastal towns and manufacturing centres, they picked up what ma'chinery was left and carried it on their backs hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles to the interior of their country and there continued to supply the armies of the great leader with arms and munitions. Rarely were there one hundred Chinese working togethei’. More often there were groups of five oi’ six and. still /more frequeiitly individual men carried on this patriotic work. In. most cases governmental assistance was given these heroes. We know of no case in which anything like monetary compensation was given. Each toiled for the good of his native land. Foi' the most part the work was done in caves Of the mountains amid dripping wet from the walls of the caves, the workers being protected, when fortunate, with .something like a tarpaulin. Yet these‘workers sustained the fight against the con­ querors of Pearl Harbour and Oorregedor and the destroyers of the Prince of Wales and the Repulse for mote than five years. The Chinese are something like down to business. These linen wait foi' no Niagara to ‘turn their lathes but supply the energy needed from their own bone and sinew. The lesson is plain foi’ the rest of us to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest. * * * * ♦ * * ♦ * FATEFUL DAYS Away out there all last week, off the Shuttles of destiny were flying and the web woven as those monsters of the sea locked dreadful combats the race has ever known, one knew the issue of the conflict. Not even thing like fully appreciated Solomon Islands, the ■of destiny was being in one of the most For days on end no yet is the result«any- _ ..B- Over there amid the swollen streams of Russian plains, Germany and Russia are writhing in the throes Of niOVtai combat. There, too, we cannot estimate what the result will be. Oh the Atlantic the rattlesnakes of the deep waters are doing all that in them lies to poison the friends of starving Europe. Amid all the confusion and death, the summer in this good land conies on apace. Every day the gates of the morning open oh new life. Forest and field alike increase in good for man. ’' Midsummer day soon will be here and then the quick oncoming harvest.' The struggle for the corn and the Wheat and the butter and the chdese and poultry Is not spectacular, but it is the struggle that issues in starvation or in sufficient food. Farmer and soldier and sailor and merchant and airman all partake in the breath-taking events of these fateful days, Let no one slacken now. We sometimes think we see the glow of the morning of a better day, yet we must not weaken. We are making history. Let us see to it that the images will shine With deeds of valour well done.
