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 A. II.

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. PHIL OSIFER OF • 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- HARRY IFfIYFOOLE Licensed Embalmer and Funeral Director Furniture and Funeral Service Ambulance Service Phones: Day 109W. Night 109J. FREDERICK A.

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.

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.
