ARMISTICE DAY, 1V42
There U a certain uplift of spirit that comes only from being part of
a great company of people enthusiastic in a common purpose, The Armis
tice service on a recent Sunday seemed less solemn in its salute to the
fallen, than in its urge that we should discharge the debt we owe to them.
And, looking over that crowd of ordinary folk, on whom falls this duty, it
is good to know for a certainty that among them are many heroes, and
that by-and-large we all do possess unsuspected qualities of greatness,
which find their outlet only in times of -danger and emergency. In this
•lies humanity’s redeeming grace, that with all its blundering and stupidity,
there never has been an age when defenders were lacking for a cause that
they held to be worthwhile.
So close does grandeur come to dust,
So near is God to man,
That when the spirit says “You must”
The flesh replies "I can.”

EDUCATION WEEK

are left
This week in Toronto has been
devoted to the study of present-day
education. Led by President Wal
lace of Queen’s, prominent educators j
have endeavored to make the pub-,
lie acquainted with the modern
trend of instruction. This has done
away with the old formula of filling
a child up with inconsequential facts,
and in its place would substitute a
system of teaching him through his
own needs and interests, to the end
that he may be guided into becoming
the best kind of citizen. School may
yet become a place where a child
will be eager to’ spend his days.
We have been following with in
terest the activities of our Dr. Blatz
and his assistants in their task of
establishing Nursery Schools in
England, for the teaching of little
victims of bombing and children of
war-workers. One of these young
women assistants is now superinten
ding the setting up of similar schools
in Canada.• * * * ***

The old-fashioned pudding-cloth
has come into its own again. Chefs
of the Canadian National Railways
have begun the preparation of 4,500
pounds of War Time Christmas Pud
ding. The puddings‘are being made
in a dining-car kitchen measuring
18 feet by 6 feet, 10 .inches, over
all.
The recipe for the plum pudding,
which will be served on the dining-
cars of the Canadian National Sys
tem during the holiday season, has
been varied to conform to present-
day conditions. While ingredients
will be fewer, the amount of pudding
to be prepared will be 25 per cent
greater than last year to provide
for an anticipated increase in the
number of patrons. Last year, Can
adian National chefs prepared two
tons of Christmas pudding for 24,600
patrons. This year, two and a quar
ter tons will be made for approxi
mately 3>0 ,>0'00 patrons, many of
whom will be members of the armed
forces. " The old-fashioned pudding
cloth is being used because it will
not be possible to obtain tins such
as hitherto used and even these
cloths afterwards will be salvaged
for other uses. Plum puddings will
be prepared weighing two and one-
half pounds as against one and one-
quarter pounds when tins
used.

Sterling Habkirk, R.C.A.F., of Sea
forth, has written 'the following let
ter to his mother in Seaforth from
a German prison camp.
Dear Mother;
Well, here I am in a prison camp
in Germany. I was shot down on
the 18th in the sea near Danzig.
We were quite low' and I am lucky
to be alive. We floated around in
our dinghy for eight hours, then
were picked up by a German boat.
Two of my creW were drowned,
but. I escaped with minor injuries
j(two bruises, a twisted knee on left
leg and a lovely bUck eye).
It was quite a sensation to be
down in the sea without a hope
of getting out. After beiiig picked
up we were taken to a military
camp, questioned, etc., then -given
a bite to eat. Then we were brought
down through Berlin to this place
and placed > in solitary confinement
for five days. I nearly went nuts,
but it is O.K. how*
They feed us well, and W6 have
no work to do. I will’ be moved to
another camp in a couple of days.
We get paid five marks every ten
days -and can buy cigars, matches,
etc., with* them (flo beer though).
We also play games, have a library,
etc. We are allowed to write two
letters a month and four ipostcards
home, Jittt you can write as many
letters as you like to anyone else.
We are short of clothes, the Red
Cross will inform you of this, if
they do not, you should inquire of
Hidin'. You can send an 11-pound
parcel of clothing every three
months. I need another pair nf
shoes, I am now wearing wooden
ones, and I sure left a big stoe-fc nf
stuff at camp. Also send razor
blades, tooth brush and'powder.WAR FEASTS MUST HAyB,afftl(groU MUST USE LESS!
