The move for the deportation of the Japanese from Canadian bol-ders was started during the days when feeling against the Japanese ran very high. The alleged effort for their deporta tion was to the fore a'mong the Dominion auth orities when it was decided to appeal to the Supreme Court of the Dominion to issue a ver dict as to the legality of the deportation. Tlie court has decided that the Dominion is within its powers in deporting a large number of the Japs. ’ We are not in possession of the details of the court’s decision. In any case, the Domin ion parliament is under the most solemn obliga tion to exercise the utmost of its wisdom in deal ing with a matter so delicate. As time passes we may get clearer light on .this troublesome question-. icled from the rest of civilisation? Is there any ' way by which we can discover* that she is essen tially one with the rest of civilisation ? Will a leader arise who will show thot Russia is by nature, in spirit, in hope, iij ideal, in- aim with the rest of the nations who together so fought , and sacrificed that freedom did not perish from the earth ? That is one problem Of the apparent ly divided house. Are we really divided? Can that division be healed? And the same problem is in India, Moham medan and Hindu seem to be fundamentally different. Can this difference be overcome? Till the difference between Russian and the other western nations is healed, conferences of one sort and another will be held in vain, Till the difference between Mohammedan and Hindu are sealed, there is little prospect of peace for India or the world. We may as well face the facts and find some other way than war to heal differences that seem to run ,as deep as human nature itself. , u * * » The Reason Why The stout ship, the Queen Elizabeth, was same Folk find New with Try Again We have uttered our weak complaint to the local village fathers to sand our sidewalks. When, we have" called upon them in the sweet est and most .persuasive tones at our command we have received the encouraging reply, “I’ll see wliat can be done about it.” After these generous and public spirited souls have thus comforted us we hear that our fellow citizens still fall with a slipping sprawl as hard on the ice as ever. Here and there we hear of a broken elbow. Sometimes a rib or two may be broken. We Have heard that the falling has been so severe in cases that language has broken forth in a torrid and torrential stream. May we hope that the council is opening an account with doc- " tors and apothecaries to supply the sufferers from falls on the ice. We are anxious on this point. It is only natural and right that the coun cil should personally provide twenty-four per day nursing for those suffering from fractures) concussions, bruises and bad temper. Please look into this matter, brother councillors, and get and keep those safety. sidewalkes in -a state of * * * Like This ! An admiring American friend of Mr. Chur- chill, knowing the prime minister’s wholesome fondness for good food, sent him a fine turkey. Mr. Churchill saw the bird and came to the conclusion that the bird had a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and spared the life of the lordly bird. And this is the man who dealt a fitting come uppance to Hitler and all his wicked gang. Mr. Churchill has no desire to have as fine a bird as a lordly turkey sacri ficed, needlessly, to serve even a conqueror’s gastronomic delights. Further, the . mighty ■ statesman has no relish for dining sumptuously while so many are near the starvation point. Mr. Churchill, all the, world Will soon see, has no wish to set plain people thinking unhappily should he be known to dine on the fat of the land while they dine On a scant supply of wliat Burns calls “hamely fare.” When the Detroit strike was at its height we heard it said by some of the strikers, “These big fellows get their turkey no matter wliat we try to live on.” Those Who read world history of a hundred years from now are likely to hear of Mr* Churchill and the turkey. * We *■«•■** “A House Divided” “A house divided against itself cannot stand,” Nearly two thousand years have passed since these words were uttered by One whose words shone by their own light. Nearly one hundred years have passed since that mysteri ous character, Abraham Lincoln, a man pos sessed of an insight that never has been sur passed by mortal, repeated those words, as the United States hurried on to a terrible war to prove the truth of those words. We talk of skill and of diplomacy but these great powers never have been able to get a divided house to con tinue, let alone to prosper. Just now we are dealing with that very principle. Is Russia div- docked in New York Harbour. At the time the famous tug boat strike was on. wondered how the npble vessel was to her way to the ocean, as ships docking in York harbour generally get on their way the aid of a fleet of tug boats. At the time for sailing, the mighty ship quietly manoeuvered her way from the dock and was on her way to carry out her great mission. This season she has encountered heavy seas that noisily threat ened to put her off her usual work. Instead the fine vessel ploughed her way against wind and tide and finished the task assigned her, “How could she do it?” an ordinary person asked of her engineer. “Man! She was built on the Clyde! What did you expect?” There you have it! Those Scotchmen have pride in their work. More than that, these men are skilled in their craft, let that craft be ship building or engin eering.- Every screw and bolt and valve is known bv them with but one purpose, that the ship function triumphantly in calm or storm or har bour. ‘‘The bonny banks of Clyde!” Yes, indeed.! # * «• * He Has. Learned the Secret Sturdy four-year-old Exeter was out the morning after the storm, the snow deep and the air keen. We were trudging along as best we could when we encountered young Exeter and a snowdrift at the same time. We thought of our Oxfords and then looked at the snow bank. Just then came the boyish command to us, “Step over it, Mister!” We stepped. Well done, young friend. That’s what real men are doing today. They are surmounting difficulties. They are stepping oyer them rather than seeking a sub sidy and wailing for a handout of any, sort what soever. That’s the spirit ,that urges the Mounty to get his man. That’s what* urged Drs. Banting and Best to conquei’ disease. That way of con quering marked Montgomery’s conquest of the desert fox of North Africa. Keep right that good way, young Exeter, and you’ll be a step-warmer. You’ll do as did the Boman. “It was a noble Boman In Borne’s Imperial day Who heard a coward croaker Before the castle say, “They’re safe in such a castle! There is no way to take it!” “On!- On!” exclaimed the hero, “T’ll find a way or make it!” * * *' « Fuel! Fuel! Who Has the Fuel? Our local coal dealers have been models of patience in their efforts to secure good fuel. All know tlie success that has attended them in so doing. At the same time we wonder and won der why the consumer canriot secure a better article for his money. Again we exonerate the local men in this connection. Still we cannot but wonder why we are paying a decidedly high price for the article we are paying for. Our noses are fairly tough but there is a limit as we pay by the most prominent feature of our faces. We may be out of touch with inform ation the government is handing out on this, point, but we have Seen no illuminating state ment on this very live issue. We have heard it said that the big fellows in connection 4with £the mines are taking advantage of our" misery' to palm off on a good-natured public old coal with a due admixture of a decidedly inferior article. We are in favor of using the last bit of stuff that will in any appreciable degree aid in get ting industry on all fours. At the same time we poor, defenceless consumers are sore when we think that we may her the' goats for the fellows who have us Under their thumb and who, we fear, may be squeezing tig to the limit.

Germany, 22nd (Dec., 1.945, Dear Mr. John Carlyle 'Cornish: John, ;it was op the night of June 12-12, 1943, that you landed by parachute on our (farm amongst th© cows. You, wolie us .up, You. were wounded on one foot and your face was burhed terribly, You were able to get to our house (by crawl ing on your knees and hands about one mile, and we let you in, and our daughter bandaged your foot, You had your face covered with vaseline. You asked for a doctor and your friends. You were amongst friends, but we were,held down by,, the hated 'Germans. You would have liked to have stayed with us, but your wounds were of a nature that you had to be sent to a hospital. The doctor done his best to get you into a civilian hospital, but- couldn’t, and after eighteen _ hours we had to turn you ever to the Germans. Then to our sorrow, the German iRed 'Cross soldiers came and took you away. The worst of it was you couldn’t see through your burnt and swollen eyes. Bbth we and the doctor thought it was best that you went to a hospital.. We had a little trouble .because we did ndt notify the Germans sooner, but it turned out O.-K. The Germans did not get your parachute, but some of our neighbors stole it later, The Germans flooded the land where you landed, and we had to exa'cuate our stock ibut it is all dried up now. 'The doctor and we sent you a parcel but it was return ed to us, and We were forbidden to send any more. We 'sent word to your people through t'he Red 'Cross. We wonder how things went with you after you left us here. Did you go to the ILee-Warden Hospital, or where? Did you have a bad trip and suffer much ipain? Did the Germans treat you kindly? And how soon did you get well? Were you scared and where were you in Germany? When did they look af- ter your wounds? And when did you get home? Please answer our letter, John. Your photo always stands on the organ in the room you lay. This is an enlargement of the passport photo you gave our son. John, do write soon if you got home, as we are worried about you. We were freed by the (Canadians on the 14th of April, 19 45, and our whole1 country was freed on May 5, 1945* In case John did not get home, will his father or mother please write to us.—J.
