'On that last Thursday I paid, a final
visit to St, Paul's Cathedral and gazed
on the expanse of ruins which sur-
rounds this shrine.
In the afternoon I went to see "The
Belle of New York" at the Coliseum
Theatre, one of the most beautiful
theatres I have ever seen. Walking
back to the Strand Palace Hotel,
where wee. stayed the last few days in
London, I found the Strand crowded
with people, the first time I had seen
any streets really crowded in England.
A fruit store near the hotel, I noted
was selling peaches for 8 shillings each
and grapes for 16 shillings a pound,
Friday morning we started on a trip
during 'which we were destined to use
many forms of transportation. First
an automobile took us to the station.
Then we travelled on a train, the most
luxurious one we had seen in Eng-
land, to a port of embarkation, At the
railway station, a bus was waiting for
us in which we went to the Airways
office.
Here our luggage was weighed, our
tickets and passports checked, and a
light lunch served, after which we got
into a launch which took us out to a
British Overseas Airways Flying
boat. When we finally tookoff,
flying boat was carrying sixty-nine
passengers, all their baggage, and the
crew of eleven.
A few hours later, this huge artific-

us. For a. trip of about two thousand
miles over the Atlantic, the two rival
planes were only a few minutes apart.
After pasing our baggage through
the customs, we took tavis to the rail-
way station for the last leg of, our
journey to out 40xnes. The first thing
Most of us bought were some oranges,
-which we had not seen for nearly
seven weeks,
Ina few hours we had again been
transported across the ocean from .one
continent to another, and what a con-
trast we found, If Canada was not
the Promised Land it was at least
flowing with milk, sugar, butter, eggs,
matches, soap, and nearly everything
that we had been learning to do with-
out.
And the lights.! How strange, to see
lights at every little hamlet and town
the train passed through! Probably
the most depressing thing in Britain
is the blackout; here were brilliant
lights in the train and in all the towns.
They made the war seem so very far
away, almost as if this country were
not in it. And those were not the only
things that gave an impression almost,
of unconcern about the war. The
stores were welt:stocked-and crowded
with buyers. Everywhere we missed
that feeling of intense determination,
We found that Canadians were
greatly interested in everything over
there. We all spent a very busy time
answering questions, giving talks,
writing articles; and generally trying
to bring home the picture of things as
we found them.
If we have been able to show par-
ents that their sons and daughters
overseas are w, ell taken care of, that
they, are active and enthusiastic, if we
have inspired workers to greater ef-
forts; if we have made others anxious
to practise, self-denial as an aid to vic-
tory; if we have helped to reassure
Canadians as to the fighting fitness of
their forces; if we have created a
greater desire to buy more Victory
Bonds to provide the needed sinews
of war, the work of the Bomber Press
will have been well worth while.
Just a few closing words of thanks
to all the officers and officials who
helped to make our travels so agree-
able, and who spared no effort to meet
our- slightest wish to see any special
activity; also to the editors and read-
appreciation of the effort to tell them
ers who have written expiessing their
what is going on in Britain.
And o we leave our Canadians and
Canadians and others in Britain, with
a feeling of confidence that when the
time comes they will acquit themsel-
ves with glory. As General McNau-
ghton told 'us •at our' last conference
with him, "They are holding the out-
POsts in the defence of Canada."
In Lincoln Cathedral, there is a
chapel dedicated to the heroes of for-
mer wars, and under- some old battle-
scarred flags, held together with net-
ting, I found these words on the wall.
"A moth eaten rag„' on a worm-eaten
pole,
It does not seem likely to stir a
man's soul;
'Tis the deeds that were done, 'neath
that moth-eaten rag,
When the pole was a 'staff, and the
rag was a flag,"
Customer: ."Do you give a guaran-
tee with this hair restorer?"
Barber: Guarantee sir? Why we
give a comb!

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
I must confess to being lazy enough
to still enjoy doing nothing. That's
especially true on a hot summer after-
noon such as we had last Sunday,
The whole thing came to mind when
we were driving home from church.
Coming through the village we saw
the golf links and practically all
the male population seemed to be out
there walking and sweating in the hot
sun,
After chores and dinner Mrs, Phil
'and Patricia Ann went to bed for a
little snooze. I picked up the news-
paper, my glasses and the old rocker
off the veranda and went out under
the old chestnut that stands on the
front lawn. It was sizzling hot in the
sunshine but the breeze that came
sweeping up -over the Big Hill and
around the corner of the house was
certainly pleasant, The newspaper
lost its attraction and I settled down to
an afternoon of "doin' nothinm. It was
Very pleasant, • s
Even the flies seemed to be lazy. Af-
ter a few attempts to battle with the
breeze they, settled down to dozing in
the sun oh the sheltered front veranda
steps, A pair of robins gave up trying
to corner a fisliworm and retired to a
nest in the old pine tree, The horses
were all crowded into the shade of the
barn and the cows after a trip to the
little creek retired to the shade of a
tree to chew their cuds and switch
flies.
The world seemed to settle down to\ a
lazy, hot- afternoon. The Higgins
boys trudged off down their laneway
to the river fcir an afternoon of swim-
ming and lazying in the sun. The hir-
ed man from across the road strolled
clown the road towards town with the
smoke from his pipe swirling up laz-
ily into the hot air. The Sunday after-
noon discussion club on the hotel steps
would be complete when he arrived.
Politics, religion and people would be
considered and then after a lunch at
the Chinese cafe, the hired man would

come home. his weekly recreation fin-
ished.
Peter Jackson came up the road un-
hurriedly in his horse and buggy. He
makes a trip Sunday afternoon over to
the "other place" to salt -and count the
cattle on grass. Fora time I had a
notion of hailing him and going along
for the ride and the talk but gave it
up in favour of simply staying pat,
The afternoon sun burned its way
down the blue-grey sky and I had to
move the rocker once, Collie dozzed
on the grass at my feet, shaking his
ears ever so often to warn the flies
to stay away. Patricia Ann came out
rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and
Started digging in her private excava-
tion. A car whizzed along the. road
sort of disturbing the general air of
peacefulness. The 4.15 train blew at
the crossing on time.
A lioy full of energy went down the
road whistling, probably on his way
home from swimming. The placid
afternoon began to get a little more
strenuous because people were going
home from the circuit church and they
all waved, That meant waving back,
It got a little tiresome- so I went
'around tihe back of the house. There
were some chickens half feath-
ered . .as if they wore bathing suits
, • • .wandering around rather hope-
lessly. The cat was dozing in the sun
on the kitchen window-sill.
I guess I dozed off to sleep. When
I awoke the sun was standing just
over the rim of tile hills and Mrs.
Phil was calling me to supper. I got
up . . . .completely refreshed after an
afternoon of simply "doing nuthin'."
FOREST FIRES LESS
DURING 1942
The Department of Mines and Re-
sources at Ottawa reports that the
forest fire season of 1942 was fortun-
ately a rather favourable one. The
total cost and damage was $3,550,181,
compared with an annual average for
the previous years of $5,378,122. The
total area burned over was 1,838,471
acres, compared with an annual aver-
age of 2,428,659 acres for the previous
decade.

ial bird with its heaVy load came down
at a transfer' point, settling so gently
that few of us knew just when we
touched the water. This place was in
Eire and again our pas'sports were
checked, We were only there long
enough to send off a few postcards.
Then once more we got into a launch
which took us to a Sikorsky American
Export Ace. It'took in all the inern-
• bers of the Bomber Press and -a few
other passengers,
The return journey was consider-
ably slower, but very much more
comfortable than the trip over in a
bomber. The hostess, Miss Dorothy
Buchanan, looking very smart in her
attractive uniform, started passing
around American cigarettes, (You can
smoke 'cigarettes but. not cigars or a
pipe in an Ace, but smoking was for-
bidden in the bomber), chewing gum,
and the latest American magazines.
Later a hot dinner was served, and
soon after the hostess' and steward
started making up the berti vs which
were very much like those in a Pull-
man.
Early "the next morning the flying
boat came down in Canadian waters.
There was a strong wind and very
rough water so that the launch took
off our party with some difficulty. '
Before we left the transfer point the
previous eVening,,we watched a Pan-
American Clipper take off. We arriv-
ed in Canadian waters in time to see
the same Clipper come down , beside

The number of fires was less than
the average for the previous decade in
all provinces, Favourable weather
conditions and fewer people visiting.
the forests as a result of reduced
tourist travel no doubt accounted for
this reduction in the number of fires.
However, in spite of the reduced num-
ber of fines, British Columbia, Saskat-
chewan and Nova Scotia reported the
area burned and the cost plus damage
to be very considerably above normal.
This may be the result of a reduction
in skilled staff and a shortage of man-
power for fire-fighting due to the war
effort.
Of all forest fires during 1941, in
Canada, 21 per cent were caused -by.

carelessness. This is rather a sad
commentary in the face of the scarcity
of ,men to fight fire and the import-,
ance of Canada's forests to the war
effort, Such carelessness destroys
valuable timber needed in the war ef-

boys overseas have every right to ex-
pect to be preserved for their retlarrq.
