Wade' Van Dore THE WOOD In the woodland, if I go; There will be marks of birds on snow, Acid prints where rabbits leaped and fell In January's citadel. And I will smell the winter smell Of water frozen under trees, And jays will flash from bough to bough In brazen bright blue ecstasies. And I will know which tree to touch And: where to shove the ice away, TO see if frost has dug in much Or partly vanished from the clay. And in the middle of the wood !The tips of February's wing Will slip a gold and yellow hood Between the winter and the spring. ---Elizabeth Jane Astley CANADIAN YOUTH I'd like to be a sailerman, and sail the 'Milroy wave, To help my dad and all his pals, our liberties to save: I'd like, you bet, to stand on watch to spot some sulking foe, Or warn at night of danger near from mighty Arctic flee.

I'd like to aid with all my might, some gallant senors save, Whose ship was hit and sent alas, be- neath the boiling wave; I'd like at last to see the foe his flag ef white unfurl, But I'd not drink my mug of rum, for fear my hair might curl. ,I'd like at last, if I'd survive, to .see my mother's face, Alight with joy and mother pride, as she and I embrace; a'd dike to hear the cheers of chums •of old, and brother, Jack, And see my sisters weep for joy; Oh, what a welcome back.

We see piles of knitted garments --shade while •carrying on our regular housework—and are en- couraged, Then, too, there are the hours spent on other war time activ- ities—•and yet, it may be possible• for us to accomplish more, such as finish- ing an extra quilt, baking for a com- munity meeting, packing more par- cels, or attending a .

By "PEG" The study of the old fortresses sit. uated between England and Scotia:id is indeed' a very interesting one. The question of those who built these cas- tles, came to England with William Of Norman in 1066. This may be said of Soules or Sues whose descendents in the time of Alexander la of Scot- land 1214-1249 built Hermitage Cas- tle, one of the oldest castles near the English. boundary. Many are the stories told of Bor- der Wars between the English and the Shots. Roxburgh 'Castle, along with the castles .of Edinburgh, Stir- ling and Berwick were considered the strongest fortresses in Scotland. Roxburgh Castle changed owne2- shipmany times. Ae was the eases of our own Queenston Heights,,strat- egy was largely used in the transfer - ranee of ownership, In 1314 the cast- le was in the keeping of the English. At that time it was being beseiged by [the Scots under the leadership of Sir James Douglas. In the early hours of night the sentinel guarding that par- ticular part of the -castle looked a- cross the meadows and saw what he took for heard of cattle scattered here and there up the slopes of the castle. Thinking it was nothing un- usual he raised no alarm. Shortly af- ter the wife, of one of the guards in: order to quieten a crying baby slipped outside the gateway singing, Hush hush, hinny, or the Black Douglas will get ye." Unthinkingly as site Take A Tip • 1. Do not store your salt shakers in your china cabinet er buffet. • 2. Remove the metal top of any salt shaker and stuff the opening with a )'ell of paper before putting away. 3. Wash every piece of silver that you use to set your table even if it has not been used and appe''ars I dean. 4. Always wash dishes in the follow- ing erder: glassware, silveryare, china, and pots and pans. Rinse in clear hot water. Keep on'e to- wel for glassware and good sil- ver. Reasons for the above tips: Ordin- ary salt, if left on silver oIven from . shaker or dish towel,collects moisture from the stir and forms a black de- I posit which is chloride of silver.

In the meantiine the leader of the Doixglee band threw' off his disguise, for it was they who were represented by the cattle on the hillside; and hid himself behind the heavy. door, He practically followed the woman and baby in; killed the English sentinel; gave the signal to the remaining Scots. This brought the required aid with the resultant conquering of the defenders' of the castle. In this way the fortress was restored to its an- cient owners. From that time on, this particular important fortress changed hands many) times. Finally the widowed Queen of King James• decided that it would no longer be a menace to Scot- land ansi had the fortifications taken away. Roxburgh' Castle was built on a high mound between the *Teviot and the Tweed Rivers. These rivers ser- ved as a natural moat. A. deep ditch at the western end of the foundation suggests that the water from the Teviot was there directed into the moat to form an additional protection for the castle. Down through the ages •since the time of herder frays there has been an almost continuous succession of sieges ,in one part of the world or another. We know not whether the loeal part of our own fair Dominion will be compelled to become a fort- ress. We keep ever before our minds the thought "For British defeat does- n't exist." There is a famous say- ing once pronounced by Queen Victor- ia which is worth repeating at this time. "Please understand there is. no one depressed in this house and we are not interested in possibilities of defeat -they do not exist, Our daily prayer is that this should be true at the present time. Each one of as is a fortress. How well are we paoteeted against the hor- des of the enemy? We should be completely surrounded by loyal, trust- worthy guards. Paul in his letter to the Galatians gives us a list of the guards who, working in co-operation with us, will bring safety ta,our fortress and even teal joy and peace to our castle or in other words to ourselves. The first guard is love, How little of that there is in the world today. Hate, the opposite ,of love is rampant trougheut the nations. One has to look closely even in small communi- ties to find a semblence of lave. The guard "love" has become interested! n something else lie looks abroad but does not see hate in its disguise until it is too late, until it has come in through the unlocked door way and has Alain what love there wase in our character. Long suffering is another guard which many people have a great deal to do with. There are different ways of viewing that sentinel. It inay be God has tried to teach His followers some lessons which He would want them to learn, When they were in health they would not take time to listen to Him so He -rad to lay them to one side and there 1:1e could talk to them in a way which they would never have under toad before: Those who are laic- aside from the active uties of this world, may not be able. o hold brook the question Why?, but God will understand if we add "Not my will, but Thine he. done." Gentleness is a guard which has been slain times without number by our enemies- following their invasions of European territory. They have not known the meaning of the word. The atrocities they have committed, will/ go down in history and before God hey will answer for their deeds. Let s look into our own lives. Do we these ed the qualityo£ e gentleness, i g which we much admire m those who are ruly living Christitke lives? We often admire a person who is a strong ader, one who is not afraid. to say wst exactly what he or she thinks but ow much higher they are in our esti- atlas if under their appaaeet en... usiasnl there le the meekness wh]eh as so ch'arteristie of our Saviour. The guards of Goodness and Tem- crane stand quite close together. In' or to be good we must be temper - e. That does not mean of course emperate along the -line of drinking ly.

Be sure that our own lives are tem- crate and; that will be the foundation for our goodness. Meekness is a sentinelwho stands near the unnamed .guard of greatness The truly great are always meek. Are we meek and humble as we pre- sent His truth or, do we tell anyone about it at all? "A pastor once in passing a store decided to go in and talk to the proprietor about the high- er things of life. Ile did so and when he finished the merchant with tears in his eyes said "I am seventy years of age, I was barn in this city, and more than a hundred ministers and over five hundred .officers have known me in a business way and you are the first one who .has ever spok; en to me about nay soul." It is meek- ness on your part and mine not to tell that Christ died for you and me? No it is cawaa'dness. One ef the greatest guardians to our spiritual Life is faith. What that word truly means only 'a Christian knows. In these days of chaos; times when war and defeat are trying their best to tip the scales ,of the world against peace and victory! is it not + most comforting to have the assur-1 axes that God is, though unseen sten ding on the side ef victory?
