He hated war and looked, forward to a larger part­ nership of nations where it would be impossible. In the Franco-Prussian war he had seen, soldiers wounded and dying on the battlefield, crying gut for help that never came. The horror of this scene was indelibly im­ pressed on his memory and because he could hardly do otherwise he wrote a little book describing the terrible things he had seen and saying: “ hope I may live to see the leaders of the military art of different nationalities agree upon some sacred international principle, sanctioned by convention, which, once signed and ratified, would serve as a basis for the creation of societies for the aid of the wounded in the different European countries.*’ The idea found acceptance with others, a committee was formed which grew into an international body. This society adopted foi- its em­ blem the Swiss flag bearing the Christian cross and nothing more, an en­ sign that could truly represent all nations. Today the flag of a brother­ hood that transcends race, boundary and creed, flies wherever there is fire, flood, earthquake or war. It brings clothes to the naked, food to the hungry, strength to the faint, care to the sick and comfort to the prisoner, fulfilling the divine pronouncement, "In as much asye have done Jt unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me.” And this, all because one lone man dared to cry in the blackness of that night of cruel darkness, his certain conviction that these horrors need not be. fi os them, Sask., Feb. 27, 1943 The Exeter Times-Advocate, Exeter, Ont, Dear Sirs: I am enclosing three clippings cut out of the Saskatoon Star-Plioenix of three different recent issues which I thought might interest you and I think support the average Westerner’s contention that the West excels the East in productivity and thrift but never boasts and J would not be surprised tg hear with­ in the next few days of still larger Jitters, I have been a constant reader of the Times since 1889, the first eight years or so while at home and then wherever I went, the last 39 years (since 1904) in Saskatchewan, Rosthern, and I look forward to arrival every Monday, Yours truly, J.

Somerville, Victoria, B.C. ***** SEEDS OF FRIENDSHIP That greatly-to-be-desired friend­ ship between British people, reality through derstanding of lems and interests. One very inter­ esting effort along this line has been worked out by the Associated Wo­ men of the American Farm Bureau. For the past three years this or­ ganization has been sending cartons of seed for the use of British gar­ deners. These seeds are selected so as to be especially adapted to conditions of English soil and cli­ mate. Each carton contains test­ ed seeds of onion, leek, carrot, let­ tuce, turnip, parsnip, beans, peas, cabbage, cauliflower and beets, all of these carefully tested. The past season, which witnessed the third crop of these seeds, was marked by many exhibitions showing 9 2 per­ cent germination. The Minister of Agriculture has warned that people must grow a large part of their own food if there is not to be a shortage of food next year. So these vege­ table gardens are being cultivated in the strangest of places. One of the best is in what heretofore was the Pets’ Corner of the London Zoo. Another is in the grounds of house formerly occupied by Royal Couple when they were Duke and Duchess of York, the most interesting of all are the gardens in the bombed areas. East­ end dockers in the Isle of Dogs have been particularly successful with growing of American seeds. It was in this heavily-bombed area of Lon­ don that Mr. R. S. Hudson, British Minister of Agriculture, initiated the scheme. Here on land cleared af­ ter Nazi bombs had razed whole blocks of house, flourishing allot­ ments are worked by the dockers and their wives. ***** CELTUCE Tlie provisioning of armies has always presented a major problem to military authorities. Napoleon said that an army marches on its stom­ ach and this stomach demands a great deal of filling, something interesting line when dipping into an old book, "Chronicles of England, France and Spain” by Sir John Froissart. This knight came to England as a sort of secretary to Philippa of Hainault, who was the mother of the Black Prince, hero of Cressy. Sir John writes most entertainingly, in an in­ timate, gossipy -manner of the doings of the European court of his day. In describing an expedition that was fitted out in France in 13 80 to be used in conquering England, he describes minutely the preparations involved in getting the twelve hund­ red ships ready. He says "provi­ sions were gathered together from all quarters. Great quantities of wine, salted meats, oats, hay, on­ ions, verjuices, biscuits, flour, yolks of eggs in powder and rammed into barrels, garlic, pease, beans candles, shoes, ointment, bandages, coverlids, pewter pots, for man or beast.” Note particularly the eggs which figure in today’s shipment forces.

Steinbeck and Mrs. Earl Thiel of town1, the four sisters, enjoyed the Sunday at the home of their mother, Mrs. Clara Decker. Mrs. Henry Thiel met with a very painful accident one day last week, while visiting at the home of her daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Hess, On returning home she slipped on the ice and fractured her left arm. Her many friends will be pleased to learn that Mrs. Thiel is getting along as well as can be expected. —Zurich H'erald. ‘‘Doctor, my husband is troubled with a buzzing noise in his ears.” "Better have him go to the sea­ shore for a few weeks.” But he can’t get away, Doctor.” “Then you go. See What the West Produces SASKATOON, February 24. — Prairie sows just gave a disdainful grunt yesterday when they heard that a porcine lady residing in the East, near London, had aided the pork production drive by giving birth to 18 piglets. They pointed out that they had a friend living on the farm of .Mrs. John Kusch, a few miles from Saskatoon, which gave 19 piglets to the world last Friday. Such a common occurence in the West, they said, would have drawn mention if boasting had not come East.

WARNING CANADA FACES A WOOD-FUEL FAMINE NEXT WINTER Northland t Prince Northland tainful beard that boasting about a porcine lady gave birth to 19 piglets. A sow on Farmer 'Chester’s 20 miles north of Prince Albert, gave birth the other day to 24 pig­ lists'. Twenty-three are living. The current rivalry over what part of Canada can boast the most prolific sows began when London. Ont., boasted of boosting Canada’s hog production when a district sow gave burth to 18 piglets. Have you heard garden-lovers talking about the new vegetable, Cel­ tuce? Those who have grown it are enthusiastic in its praise. Belong­ ing to the celery family, it combines the uses of celery and lettuce. The yoUng leaves are used as a salad and the central stalk is the inner pith used raw radish Or cucumber, or cooked like asparagus.

Or perhaps you are one of the lucky ones who just managed to scrape through? In either case, you will want to be prepared for next winter when greater hardships loom unless you take immediate action. The shortage already has affected many communities . . . total stocks of dry wood are nearly exhausted ... in some places the small supply of green wood cut for next winter is being used now to meet the present emergency. Throughout most of Canada, fuel-wood is obtained not far from where it is consumed. Its production and distribution are the business of local citizens. The Dominion Government recognizes that the wood-fuel shortage is so serious that even with the full co-operation of everyone in affected com­ munities an adequate supply is not assured. Accordingly, it has been decided to stimulate the output of wood-fuel by assisting those normally engaged in its production and distribution. To this end, will be adopted- William A. Siebert, of Zurich has been officially notified from Ottawa that he has been appointed postmaster of Zurich, following the recent death of his father, who was postmaster there for a long period of years.
