'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- DR. W. M.

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! S,CCFtS SCRAP-BOOK. 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 By R, SCOW. 99 PER Late oF-(1-1E.

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.

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.

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. lightning and 79,per cent by human. 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- fort; ruins recreation spots which the boys overseas have every right to ex- pect to be preserved for their retlarrq. may so fill the air with smoke haze Is' to seriously impede air travel and the- operation of air-training sekoolse and may require men engaged on war work to lay down their tools to fight lire. Let everyone who has ocasion to enter the forest , this year seriously consider the responsibility which rests upon him to make absolutely sure he does not start a forest fire with cigar- ettes, matches, camp-fires or other means.
