THE DANGER
ISN'T OVER!
When the history of these
years is written, Canada's
successful fight against ink-
, tion will _receive full credit
: if we do not, in the end,
lose the battle that now
seems so nearly won. Only by
constant 'vigilance and, self
denial can we hold the ceiling
until final victory.

noticed that Jimmy was happy ... and
he was a pretty good farmer too.
Last night when he was at the
house Jimmy was running his fingers
over the piano keys and he started to
sing. As he did could just see my-
self back at that first garden party on.
the lawn at the church. Jimmy is a.
lot older now but he hasn't lost ,his
old, skill. It made me young again.
When he finished he turned and said,
"I suppose you wonder like everybOdy
else why I came here." The question
stopped me and so I didn't say any-
thing. Then he went on.
"I discovered a long time ago that
fame is a fleeting thing. For a little
time I was conceited and swelled up
with my own importance. I found out
however that the people who gave me
the most attention were the ones who
were there simply because of the bit of
fame I had. There were too many
artificial people in that world and I
came home, I haven't regretted it a
bit. I have to 'go away now because
of my health. Don't ever let anybody
tell you that fame is worth it. , It
isn't. I've had a good full life here on
the farm and like to feel that I've ad-
ded a bit to this community."

keep rolling him up, Jerry will soon
have to give in,' I was informed we
may have to go to the East and 'help
polish-, off yapan. I had hoped we'd
have a chance to 'go into Paris with
our troops but its been well guarded
and our efforts being directed in other
lines, This part of France we are
passing through is so different to what
we saw for the first two months.
Things are moving so fast that the
towns are now spared, except where
an odd tank shell has gone through a
house. I have seen hundreds of Ger-
man vehicles ,of all sorts on the roads,
so our airforce has been having a
great time.
I must write the parents of those I
have buried, and some whom have
been wounded. , It's so hard to con-
centrate on lettei writing and so much
trouble around' me, By the time' you
receive this letter you'll be back 'in
the city after a holiday on the farm.

"FAME"
After supper last night a visitor
came to Lazy Meadows. It was Jim-
my Macdonald, who lives behind, us
on the next Concession. Jimmy came
over to say goodbye to us because he's
planning on taking a trip out to Van-
couver this fall and he'll probably
stay there until next spring.
Jimmy, I should explain, is some-
thing in the way of a celebrity, in this
township. He's getting .along in years
because as a boy I can well remember
him as being almost a legendary fig-
ure. In his boyhood lie was a clever
singer and his father sent him to the
city to take lessons and also .to further
his academic studies, Jimmy took to
learning like a duck to water and the
first thing we knew he published a
song Of his own.,
Nothing was heard of him after that
for a year or so because he went to
Europe. When he came back he had
another song published. It became
quite popular and most all the local
people enjoyed a game of trying to
figure out how much money he was
making. His picture in a newspaper
or • magazine would send the figures
soaring.
Then his father died and he came
home for the funeral looking quite
prosperous• but tired. He went away
after the funeral and reappeared a
month later and gradually the news
went around that Jimmy Macdonald
was going to stay on the farm. Few
of the folks would even believe it until
they saw ;him' in, overalls and, straw•
hat working around the farm. Later
on he started singing at local affairs'
. church suppers, concerts and such
like. He was, a grand singer and a.
great mimic and my generation grew.
up to think of him as being one of the
greatest men in the world.
The older folks wondered in the way
of all people, as to why Jimmy had
suddenly given up the worldly life for
the country life. They naturally
wondered why he gave up all the
money and the fame but Jimmy never
talked. He farmed and now and again
appeared in the city for a concert but
the majority of the time he spent back
on the farm. One thing I always

happeeed.: It was Monday morning
and raining I thought we ,would have
a hard day because Jerry would try
to get through 'the trap we had sprung
on him. ,He did, ,but not the way I
had, thought, he came through ,sur-
rendering. We had over 4,000. Pass
in through our lines. I have no idea,
how. many were 'taken out of the trap
altogether, for there were many
wounded: We 'had two German doc-
tors and five of their Red Cross order-,
lies working haid with us all day.. We
just couldn't catch up on them, they
came through so fast. Had a German
general as prisoner too, and my jeep
was the only passenger car available
so I ptilled my equipment out to take'
him to his batman and a guard to a
higher formation .for safe keeping.
When we passed through the town on
the ,way you should have seen the
peeple look and jabber and the 'Cana-
dian and English soldiers ,Idoked .at
us with ,their eyes mapping: Yes,. I
drove the jeep. I, 'hear there were
three Generals taken• that day, but
I 'saw 'only one and I had hint. On'
Tuesday I had two of our Nova Scotia
