From the Second World War the Canadian servicemen—particularly those who served in North Africa and Italy—brought home another song whose haunting' melody is just as immune to passing time. It is called "Lilt Marlene", a Ger- man song which Hitler's Afrika Korps carried into the desert and lost it to the British army in those fateful sands. It was the hit song of the war, more emotional ,than "When the Lights Come on Again" BENJAMIN Br.VER1DGE) and catchier even than '.'The Beer Barrel Polka", which was another German song to which the Allies were partial. (And "Oh', Mein Papa" of course is the latest hit tune from Germany.) Canada has just had a visit from Lili Marlene. Perhaps she is not the real Lili, if there is one; but it is certain that the song would never have become legend if . Lale Anderson had not recorded it in Berlin in 1938 and if it had not been played by mistake in Bel- grade three years later. Lale And- erson was a nightclub entertainer in Berlin during the war. . The wife of a Swiss composer, Arthur Beul, she was in Winnipeg to visit her daughter recently, and Lale then went on to the United States Contract Barley We are again taking contracts for barley, as the quantity of seedis limited.

Brockville youngsters know him as the founder and athletic director of the Police Athletic Association; the trophies behind his desk were won by boys' and crit athletic teams and the 50.g41 bugle bond'sponsored by the Association. THE TELEPHONE IS ESSENTIAL TO A COMMUNITY'S SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND Chief of Police declares Bxock'ville's popular chief knows from experience the tremendous reassurance people feel, just knowing that any hour of the day or night they can depend on the telephone in case of need, You may never have to call the police. Yet the fact remains that you and your family feel more secure — are more secure — because of your telephone. Peace of mind is an extra value that is part of your telephone service; a value that cannot be measured. THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA where she has of course, been of- fered TV and radio contracts. .A man from Northern Alberta, who has grown a luxuriant set of sideburns ' in the oil fields,; has. been curious to know how his whiskers got their name. Well, Ambrose Everett Burnside (1824-81), a Federal general in the American Civil War, is responsible for that, probably from the fact that he wore "sideburns" himself, and the fashion was popular among his troops. Burnside cap- tured Roanoke Island in 1862, but lost over 10,000 men in his retreat from General Lee. He was gover- nor of Rhode Island in 1866 lind became a senator in 1875. I have been doing some air travelling lately, and since we deal for the most part in this column with cultural items, it would seem negligent to omit a note on a de- veloping phase of Canadian culture which cannot but succeed in mak- ing an impression on the people of other countries who use our air transportation facilities.. I am thinking of the Trans- Canada Airlines simply because that is the line T have been using. Culture is the way we cook our steaks as well as the way we sing and dance, and therefore anyone who has taken a trip in a plane and has been exposed to the ex- ceptionally fine airborne hospital- ity cannot butbe convinced that the pilots and stewardesses have a remarkable ability for making people think of themselves as in- dividuals and not just as the hold- ers of ticket stubs. It is all a part of their training I suppose, but it must take con- siderable effort and patience for them—the stewardesses—to smile all the time. While you are air- borne the captain shows each of the passengers his flight plan, and explains the altitude, outside tem- perature, air speed, ground speed, estimated time of arrival and all that, without having to be asked. It makes the passenger seem a part of the crew, and this, of course, is a wonderful morale booster for those who are not used to flying. The hostess continually busies herself providing the pas- sengers with magazines and re- freshments, seeing to their needs so much so that the average TCA stewardess can generally call the passengers by name by the time the flight is ended. She may, of course, forget it once he has been safely delivered, but because of this extra attention one must in- evitably be impressed with the great change which air travel has made in our manners and morals. :, 0 * In 1948, a Fort William girl named Olga Landiak, who was liv- ing in London, Ontario, won the Bessborough Trophy as the best actress in the Canadian Drama Festival in the role of Joan of Arc, On the strength of this per- formance, and because Miss Land- iak showed exceptional promise, the London Little Theatre group awarded her its first acting schol- arship and sent the young aspir- ant, a tall, dark-haired girl with strong Slavic features, off to Lon- don, England. We did not hear much about her until about a year ago when Nicholas Egon, the Brit- ish artist, picked her photograph to use in his book, `Beautiful Women of Our Time". Olga Landiak has just returned home, and according to her own version, she is a failure, She had two BBC television roles while she was away, but every time she auditioned for a play she was turned down, not because she lack- ed ability but because she was "too strong" for the part, Olga Landiak, who had given a mast- erly interpretation of the Maid of Orleans, was too big for anything less than eloquent, She ended tip in T.,ndoil AS a stenographer. But she isn't a failure. If the directors were looking for a Mar- ilyn Monroe, a Sarah Bernhardt would not do. But one does not fail at 28. With these "special talents" Miss Landiak can do much to help the Canadian drama movement along, and perhaps she will find that it is possible for a Canadian actress to find success at home. 0 Value of goods imported into Canada in 1953 reached the record total of 34,387,00,000, an increase of 9 per cent over 1952; in the same period exports declined by 4.2 per cent to 34,172,600,000.
