(Continued from Page 1) lent the dress but did not wish name given; Mrs. Montgomery "The Eighth Army is nnquestion- ably the best equipped best prepared the most modern fighting force at present engaged in any theatre of operations. The British Infantry surpasses all others in the world. The Armoured Units of the British Army are, well .on a par with the best of the armoured forces in the world. This is not British propa- ganda, instead it comes straight from the Italian War Ministry and Was recently featured on the front pages of racist newspaper and the radio. Now that the Axis have been booted out of Africa this is the very time when there should be no let- down by the United Nations, but rather our efforts should be re- doubled, for while it is as'poor pol- icy to become depressed over re- verses, still we should not become unduly elated over successes. Canada, too, has a magnificent, mo- dern army, a superb body of men, well equipped, and raring to go when the next phase of the assault on the Axis, the invasion of Europe, begins. All able-bodied, Canadians medically fit, between the ages of eighteen' and a half and forty-five are urged to join the Active Forces today to provide reinforcements for our gal- lant soldier lads when the gigantic battle of Europe begins. Consult the Mobile ,Recruiting Unit when, it is next in town and enlist in a real he- man fighting Army so that it can never be said that you broke faith with Canada --or yourself.

Next to the Bible with the ppssible exception of Pil- grim's Progress it has been sold and. read more widely than any other vol- ume ever printed. It has appeared in every major language. It was, first published in 1896. We now have it in stock at 85e. Perchance Mrs. Niven, priced at $1.49 will also interest you, it depicts the endurable and pleasant sides of ex- istence.
