tions of war must be •definitely out in
that country. Not a plane or a gun
must be made there,
They think, to, , that an educational
process Must be undertaken among the
German people. That they must be
taught .the democratic way of life and
that steps must be taken to ensure that
the coming generations of Germans
are not brought up in the Nazi school.
They recognize that it will be difficult
to eradicate the Nazi philosophy from
among those Germans iwho have been
brought up in it from their ehildhood,
but they believe that the futui.e gener-
ations should be educated in a differ-
ent school,
They think, too, that at the conclus-
ion of the war, Germany must be oc-
cupied. They do not believe that the
occupation need necessarily be a
lengthy one, That is a lengthy one
by the armies. They .point out that
with a powerful air force it would be
possible 'to , cope with any situation
which might arise in Germany within a
very few hours. Even though the air
force were- stationed in Russia or
Britain, Control today does not
necessarily mean armies of occupation,
thanks to air power.
But they do . think that Germany
must be occupied, if for no other rea-
son than to shoW the Germans that
they have lost the war. One of the
tragedies of the last war was that
'Germany throughout remained un-
scathed. That is not true today, how-
ever, because the German people know
full well ' that they are right in the
front line. They only have to look at
the devastation of Berlin or a score of
other cities, the obliterating of Ham-
burg, to realize it:
The `Future of France
The British people hope that out of
her present plight a strong France will
arise; a France capable of taking her
rightful place in the councils of the
world. A strong France is desirous
from the British point of view as it is
always well to have a strong; friendly
teammate to offset the„weight of the
opposing team.
But France, the British people feel,
is- facing a long; hard, bitter and
bloody road. A bloodbath of consid-
erable proportions is thought to ,be the
fate of the peciple of France before
they eventually clecid_e their future
form of government, and it composi-
tion.
There are so many factions in
France and feeling is so, high that it
is difficult to' see just 'how, peace and
harmony can be achieved between the

withadt a protracted period of almost
civil war,
The problem of who' shall goVern
France and what form of government
shall be adopted is a problem for the
French alone and the British view-
point,is that they must be permitted to
work out their own solution without
interference from outside,
Once the French people arrive at
that decision, it will mean a long,
patient period of convalescence with
the assistance of. Britain.
The British people are by no means
sure that DeGaulle has the confidence
and support of the resistance move-
rents in France. On the contrary,
they feel that he will meet consider-
able opposition once the liberation of
France commences. There can be
little •doubt that at the moment France
is much divided.

LAZY MEADOWS
by Harry J. Boyle
These are the golden days of harv-
est .. grand, satisfying days of burn-
ing sun and heat when every cloud
sailing in over the horizon is regarded
with suspicion. Yes, we haVe hgd
harvest weather in this township -that
no man could complain about. Women
smelling of „powder and perfume, may
sit perspiring in town restaurants,
complaining bitterly about the heat,
but the men who swing sheaves on
the end of long forks and who smell
of sweat and harvest dust are not
complaining.
We were 'up at four-thirty this
morning, doing the chores and eating
a hurried breakfast.. I went off to
town, to pick up a part for the binder
and when I was coming back about
six-thirty the fields were busy with
work. Just where I'• turned onto the
line I could 'see the threshing crew
working around thee• separator and the
big oil tractor at the Stewart place.
Across the fields I could see men
coming with the polished tines of their
forks' gleaming in the early morni,ng
sun.
I met Jim Anderson on the. 'road.
He was just turning into a field with
his tractor and combine. While the
boy opened the road gateway he talk-

ed to Me for a moment or two, What
did we talk about? We spoke of the
weather and cocked our heads to 'look
at" the already grinning Sun, We talk-,
ed about the yields , and, the straw
. and prospect for the later oats
and. barley and then he started the
tractor with a roar ,and moved into
the field and X went on towards home.
We'v4 moved a long way in the past
few years, It's only a generation or
so ago that we used scythes and then
reapets and from that to binders and
/IOW' 4 machine that cuts and threshes
in the line operation.
At the Jenkins place they were
drawing in. Even by that time the
sun had taken enough moisture out of•
the. dew, so that they could gq ahead
and draw in, Paul bad his shirt off,
They were close to the road . so
close that Lacould see his muscles
rippling under the dark brown of his
sup-tanned hide. Those muscles seem-
ed to flow in• perfect order . „
smoothly . . . like the movement of
a cat. Sun and fresh air and hard
work have given Paul a precious en-
dowment.
When I came to the top of the big
hill I had a glimpse Of the farms
across the river, In some places
wagons were rolling back laneways,
in others they were stooking sheaves,
in one place and old steam-engine puf-
fed away stolidly, at another they were
stacking sheaves . . , and then the
vision was gone as the car glided down
the hill.
A woman was driving cows back to
a pasture-field. Mrs. Higgins and the
girls were milking in the orchard and
Ed. was rattling 'back to the oat field
with the team and wagon. Bruce
Lancaster, our soldier settler had a
helper . . . his wife. 'they were haul-
ing in oats' and both gave me a friend-
ly wave. It made me feel good and
I determined that as soon as I finish-
ed up the east field, I would go over
and give them a band, while the man
cut the Other field.
Peter McKay, the hotel-keeper, is
helping me this week. Peter hasn't
farmed for at least five years, since
his uncle left him the New Corona,
but he came out this year to give me
a hand when I couldn't get a hired
man. His muscles were a little sore
at first, but he soon showed that he
hadn't lost any of• his old skill.
Yes, these are grand, neighborly
harvest days.

Dear Mother and Dad:
Just a few lines in answer to your
August 3rd airmail which I received
the other day. I also received a
regular letter but upon opening it I
found it 'was for Bill. I guess you put
them' in the wrong envelopes so he
probably got mine. I wrote him a

note and Pin your letter in with it,
he will likely do the same,
We have been fairly busy but on the
whole not as busy as we bad expected,
but may get busier as we advance.
The boys have sure done a wonderful
job and now they have finally ,made
us an army of our own, X will write
as often as I can, but some times we
just don't get a chance, but you know
we will do our best,
We have had it dry here for some-
time and it is very dry now, The dust
is sure thick which makes blackout
driving very tough, bUt we have been
very lucky and as' yet• have had no
trouble,
No Mother, there are not many
places to go and not much to see. The
damage isn't as bad as you would ex-
pect, some places are naturally, but
others still have the windoWs in and
as yet we have only seen four places
that were nothing but ruins. Usually
there are a few buildings left, We
still have our canteen and they are
very good' to us ,but they are limited
on many things. They give us a
show once in awhile and the other
day we had the afternoon off and they
gave• us the show "Stage Door Can-
teen". It sure was a lovely show and
worth seeing,
I guess the harvest will be about
over there now. The farmers here are
doing their best but have a hard job.
We have helped a little, but can't do
much as we have to stay around camp
in case we are needed.
I see you are also getting optimistic.
I sure would like to be home for
Xmas, but the way we look at it is
even when we finish. Germany we
can't say the war is over, we still have
Japan to put right, but I doubt if that
will take very long.
Yes, we have had and still get some
excitement and will have plenty to re-
member and talk about when this is
over. We still have the odd raid but
are so tired we often sleep through it.
The Way we think it we have to take
it so why worry. If our name is there
we get it, if not why bother. We see
several Canadian airforce personnel, as
some are close by, but none that I
knew nor any of the boys from home.
I saw in' one of the papers you' sent,
that Mrs. Roy Adair's boy was home.
I hear there is to be an election over
there. Maybe we will get someone
who is different this time. I know
how the vote here will go and I think
they do too. Most of the fellows like
myself have woke up since the last
one.
Lots of love,
Jim.

:The people of Britain are not for-
Setting that for the second time in two
decades they are fighting, 2 terrible
war to stop the German people from
enslaving the world, They are not
forgetting the attempt of the German
people to absorb the people of Europe
and they are not forgetting the air
raids to which they were subjected in
1940,
Remembering these things, it is not
'unnatural that they should have some
very definite views as to what should
;Happen to !Germany in the postwar
period,
I found few people taking a mild
and conciliatory view of the question.
:Some people to whom I talked, indeed,
• took a definite and strong view. Their
:attitude was that never again should
' Germany be permitted to attain a
vosition from which she could disrupt
the. peace of the world.
The British people, are tired of
,stumbling - around- in the blackout,
And after five winters who can blame
them? They have seen their churches
bombed; their homes 'devastated; their
business and-trade wrecked, The wo-
men have been forced to jobs they
-never did before; they have been sep-
arated for long years from their hus-
-bands and their children; they have
seen their babes lying in the streets
mutilated .by bomb fragments.
Who can wonder if the British
people are bitter and are determined
that' it will not happen again; that in
another score of years the German
people will• not be able to bring the
horrors of, war to a peace-loving
people?
The British people are determined
-that after THIS war Germany will not
