THE STAFF CLERK
It's the soldier's right to grumble'
When in billet or in line,
When the raid becomesa fumble
Or when things are going fine.
But you've heard so many stories
Of their life when danger lurks
That, for one, we'll hear the wafflings
Of a poor Staff Clerk. -
We have heard about the sniper
Calling down the heavies wrath,
Of the bomber and the piper -
Making fun' of Heinie's staff
Yet, these heroes all do tremble
When Lieutenants act the `Turk'
But it's cursings of a General
On a poor Staff Clerk. •
Though the C.T. may be narrow
And each shell hole filled with rain,
;Yet the narrowness of Red -Gaps ,
Sends a Staff Clerk quite insane.
For it's . 'Type this!','Check --my- fig -
uses'
'What's the strength of man at Kirk?'
'Oh -der bombs!' ;'Phone. Siglnalsr
"D'amn
You're a poor Staff Clerk.
;While they never take staff courses.,.
They must know the Martial Law,
Quote K.R. (Can.) on horses
And ten thousand, items more;
`G.R.O.'s and Ancient History'
They can tell yon with a jerk.
For the Modus Operandi
Ask a poor Staff Clerk,
When the guns have ceased to thun-
der
And the front line is no more;
When Hitler sees his blunder
And they stop this bloody war,
What a life will be the private's --
- ;Lots of fun and little world
But they'lI still be wanting state-
ments
From the poor Staff Clerk.
When we've gained, the Iast objective
OIf this life and get above'
Where the soldiers stop their strap
And do nought but sing of love ng.li! +ii
Then their faithfulness to duty,
And the jobs they did not shirk
'Will be entered in the Good Book
By a poor Staff Clerk.
KENT FRUIT HARVEST
Garden of England
Land of the red cherry.
And the pink plum.
Home of the apple orchard
Where at this season
Tapering fruit ladders
Push their pronged arms
Into the laden trees.
`Men, women, children,
Boys and girls
All the village folk
y Go fruit picking:
Listen to their chatter and
laughter.
.Stirring the green leaves.

A THANKSGIVING
.Lord, for the erring thought"
Not into evil wrought;
Lord, for the wicked will
:Betrayed and baffled stilt
_For the heart from itself kept;
Our Thanksgiving accept]
For ignorant hopes that were
Broken to our blind prayer;
For pain, death, sorrow -sent
Unto our chastisement;
For all loss of seeming good:
Quicken our gratitude.

prayer- of Thanksgiving for a free
country where the harvest is plenti-
ful; where' wood and coal for winter'
fires can still be had; where hearty
laughter of young and old can still
beheard; and where citizens may
worship on the Sabbath as ,they wish.
Thanksgiving Day may be kept in
the traditional way with family
By "PEG" gatherings — but don't forget . to
keep your home open too, to some of
the lonely boys and girls in the war
services. You will get a thrill 'from
sharing your Thanksgiving dinner
and serving the good old turkey in
all his glory to some of these 'young
At this season many are asking
the .question. Does Thanksgiving
Day mean anything to us this year?
With the world in- such chaos have
we very much for which to be thank-
ful? -
It is - really a disgraee .for us to
allow such thoughts to dwell in aur
minds. It may be that we, in this
country have more to be thankful for
to -day than we, have ever had. It is
true that the world is experiencing
one of the most trying times of
history. Thousands 'of people of
nearly every nationality have been
tortured, killed or made prisoners.
Before peace terms are eventually
signed many more some even of .our
own immediate family will be added
to that list. ! r
.-One of the most important things
for which we " should be constantly
returning thanks is the fact that the
hoardes of the enemy have not swept
over our Dominion, If we review
the cohditions of the European Coun-
tries during the last three years we
will have plenty of cause for thank-
fulness- es we compare their trials
with the peace which we are enjoying
Some grumble about extra work
heavy taxes, lack of• light and heat-
ing facilities, but were it not for th'e
grace of God, our cities and towns
would be wrecked. We would be
standing beside our .dead, our streets
would become battle fields, there
would be no safety or happiness any
where. How glad we should be to
give our time and our money to hold
back the enemy rather than have it
taken from us by a cruelty which
has been unsurpassed in the history
of the world. We might quite easily
be in the same position as Poland
Czecho Slovakia, Norway, Denmark
Greece, Russia and other countries.
Anxiety and grief have come into
many Canadian homes: but as a nat-
ion we are practically untot{died.
One of the most bountiful harvests
of our time has been gainered in.
We have been rationed in some
things, but what does that matter
we are not hungry as are thousands
of others. We do not have to watch
our loved ones grow thinner day
after day and eventually lie down
to rise no more in this world. As
we looked at the wonderful display
of food at our harvest home festivals
our thoughts have travelled to those
countries where famine, pestilance
and starvation are rampant. It is well
that the people there cannot see the
luxury in which we are living.: They
could rightly say, "Why this contrast?
In the face of that can we dare say
"Is there a God who will allow such
things to go on. Many of us do not
take the time to consider these cir-
cumstances.
Then too we should be thankful
that our children are allowed to at-
tend their school. , They do not have
to separate from their homes and,
:taken to outlying districts where
they might be safe. Their faces
have still a happy smile. They re-
alize little, of what is going On. They
know the meaning of play. Their
regular routine has had very little
interup tion,
Financially many are better off
now than they ever were before. May
they 'look 'back over the years of de-
pression which preceeded this awful
wax and thank Gods that they will .be
able to store by at ]east a little for
the future, •
•
Another thing for whieh we should!,
return thanks is that we belong to a
Commonwealth of Nations whose
King and Queen are God fearing and
the heads of the government acknow-
ledge -the supremacy of Jesus. Christ.
We have season to return thanks,
that we are allowed to worship God
aswe wish. We do not •have,to go
secretly . in order to pay homage to
Hun. We know that He is with those
who- love Him in all countries even
in the ma'am whose rulers are rc-
sponsibl-a for all this trouble and
whose' people are , having to. suffer.
There are Christian people there,
but they must to. a ,large extent tor-
ship their God in secret. We should
thank God that; the spirit of the Lord
so dwells in our hearts that we take
the greater part of our pleasure in
worshipping Him. Oan we all say
that? If we could our churches
would not be half empty as they are
to -day. We wonder how God 'allows
these things to happen. The wonder
is that He permitted us to wander so "lc*
far from Iiim'before He punished us.
'There is one certainty we will have
to come back to God before this
cruel war is over. Why will we keep
on wandering farther away. We
may rest - assured that we will be
brought back if not in this
would then in the Judgment which
will follow our transgression front
here to the Reahn beyond:
One might go on'and on enumerat-
ing .the things for which we have
reason to be thankful. Chief among
these, is the fact that God is still on
the throne. SO often the question
has been asked. "Is Hitler the Auto
Christ?" Whether : he is or not
should make no difference to us, God
is supreme even above the auto
Christ. It would be -a matter of time
but in the End God will show Him-
self the Ruler of the world' and Peace
will again be restored. Many- of our
homes will have vacant chairs, but
they will have a feeling of pride that
as Christ gave His life for His enem-
ies so the men and women' of our
country are thankful to be able to
fight a. battle in order to give Christ-
ianity first place in the world. We
are able to say' "The Lord reigneth;
Let the Earth rejoice."
We should thank God for Himself
and for all that His coming has
meant to us. We look at the deves-
tated countries and our heart felt
sympathy goes oupt to the people
there. That is no comparison to
what the world would be if Christ
had hot come. These things will
bear our serious thought.
God has . given us so much for
which to be thankful. Can we pre-
sent anything to Him for which He
will give thanks. 'Yes we can and
not only that we must if we expect
to spend eternity with Him. We can
give ourselves into His -Keeping.
There is nothing that we need bring
with us. He will not ask us whether
we have money, education, beauty
or anything else. All we need- to do
is to "Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and: thou shalt be saved."
Could anything be more simple than
that:
If we could only ,realize what a
difference it would make in our lives
if we made Hint a Co-partner in all
our work. There would no one left
out.
As Thanksgiving Day draws near -
comes and passes by' will we not
just thank Jesus Christ for all His
goodness to us. First of all let us be
so thankful that we have accepted
Him. If we have not done so' will
we not just now give our hearts to
Hint and thus snake this. Thanks
giving Day one of real thankfulness,
"Father we thank Thee for the night
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and loving care,
For all that makes the day so fair.
Help us to do the things we should,
To be to' others kind and good
In -all we do, -in work or. play,
To grow more loving every day. '

HOW 'TO SEE PICTURES, .
Develop a sincere interest In people, study the work of other photos-
raphers, and work toward a definite objective, and you'll soon find it's
easy to make excellent snapshots like this. -
JUST the other day a friend of
mine who is interested in photog-
raphy came to with a question.
"What's all this business about
being able to see pictures?" he
asked. "Is it something abstract, or
is it a definite ability which any phM
tographer can develop?"
Well, I assured him that there is
such a thing as an ability to see
pictures, and any photographer who
wants to develop it can do so in
short order. There are just three
simple steps.
First, you must study people be-
cause you will have to draw upon
them for many of your picture sub-
jects. Learn to look upon your
friends and acquaintances, as well
as people in public, with an apprais-
ing eye. Watch the things they do,
.note the way they sit, walk, talk,
and note the effect of light on them
from various angles. It will be an
interesting experiment; and photo-
graphically profitable if you try to
determine when yoursubjects would
make the best pictures.
Next, study other pictures and try
to equal or surpass them. You'll find
good material in the popular pie-
ture magazines, the phetographid
magazines, and even general or,
fashion publications. By Studying
them you'll keep'up with what
others 'aro doing, and you'll' Cor
rainly get many ideas you might
apply to your own photography.
Finally, I'd suggest that you give
yourself a picture -making objective.
That niay seem to have no oonnec.
tion with your ability to see pie+
tures, but the point is that whem
you give yourself something definite
to accomplish --or use your oalne>•a...
as a means of telling a story in pie.
tures—then you will find that you
"see" pictures far more readily
than if you bave no particular puts
pose in mind.
Give yourself an objective today,
and start shooting!
