HOLD THE FORT Editor Free Press: Some time ago Winston Churchill told the world that England was today an armed 'fort- ress, We feel sure that his statement recalled memories of childhood to many a British heart in Canada. We recall in days of childhood, How the Sabbath classroom rang With the strains of "Ho, my com- rades" As the carefree children sang. "Hold the fort for I am coming" Sang those children blithe and gay, Memories of that stirring hymnal Thrill our soul anew today. We were taught the need of courage In the battle against sin. Taught to fully trust the Saviour le the victory we would win. "Onward comes our Great Command- er," We can hear those voices still Echoing is that Sabbath classroom Of the church beside the hill. In a war=torn, blood soaked Europe, Crushed beneath a tyrant's hand, Stalks abroad, a flesh clothed Satan, Spreading terror through the land. While his legions shout "Heil Hitler," As they march with ruthless tread, Filling all the tortured landscape With loud wailings for the dead. Though the Hun is in the saddle, God still sits upon His Throne. And in His appointed season, He will make his purpose known, We will trust our Great Commander, Who for us hath wonders wrought, By his grace, we'll win the battle, For He bids us "Hold the fort." "Bold the fort, for I am coming, Jesus signals still. Wave the answer back to Heaven, "By Thy grace, we will." --Fred Young, London, Ont. July, 1940. THE LAST HOWL ON THE GREEN It may be only sentiment When sear autumn spreads its wings, And you feel the chilling air is getting keen, But there somehow comes a sadness When the bowling season ends, And you've put your last bowl down upon the green. • There's a friendship in, lawn bowling And a comradeship as well, Go and ask the novice player or the "dean," But from somewhere conies a feeling And it pulsates through your breast, When you put your last bowl down upon the green. When we meet in summer evenings And the play is at its height, And twilight sheds its mantle o'er the scene, Deep regrets are always with us When the play is at an end, And we've put our last bowl down upon the green. When the game of life is ended, And our scores are written down By the hand of One who neer has yet been seen; Have we won or lost life's contest, Rave we played at best life's game, When we've put our last bowl down upon the green. ARMY WORK SHOP The Old R. C. O. C.'s Dedicated to the 1st Army field Week Shop. When your tanks are rolling nicely And your guns are going strong, When edmidet the roar of battle You can hear your engine's song, Do you give 'a thought to those men Who won't let your engines freeze? If you don't remember who they are, They're the old R., C. O. C's. They have never asked for medals, They have never hollered loud, Because they have to work unknown, Just a section of the crowd; All they ask is just a notice From the soldiers over there, Just a pat upon the shoulder Not a great big -shot affair. They're not superhuman heroes, But they're boys just like the rest, And for every dollar twenty They just try to give their best, So remember when your fighting And you've got Jerry at his knees, Do not thank the gods of battle, Thank the old R. C. O. C.'s. Please remember that your webbing Carries out just that and this, But that on each little bullet R. C. 0. C's have placed a kiss; So go forward wth your rifles Just as others went before, And remember that the Ordnance Will do their bit to win the war. —.A. A.

Sun stroke and heat exhaustion are two different ailments and require somewhat different treatment. In sunstroke you may feel tired and dizzy before the regular symp- toms occur. These are headache, a feeling of oppression, sometimes a tightness in the chest, great thirst, restlessness, frequent desire to' pass urine, hot skin, a "sicky" keeling, flushed face and high temperature, finally unconsciousness. Treatment in sunstroke is to lay the patient in a cool, shady place, off the ground if possible or on the ground on newspapers or clothing if no bench or table is available. Cold cloths are then applied to the back of neck, face, and chest, clothing re- moved, body sprinkled with water. The head should be kept up high and patient fanned with a towel or piece of clothing. When the patient is able to swallow, some coal water contain- ing a pinch of salt should be given. Wedding Anniversaries First—Cotton. Second—Paper. Third—Leather.

First :of all, don't have anything in your house that is neither useful nor pleasing to your artistic sense. Don't' buy more furniture at the beginning than You really need. The more you have the more work to be done. You can al- ways add later, Another thing, don't choese furniture that is only raised about half an inch from the ground —this will mean you'll have to shift it every time you clean, or grovel on your hands. and knees. Now for the job of turning out a room. Sounds simple but how many new housewives know just how to set about it. First brush thoroughly all small upholstered chairs and put them and other easily carried tillage out of the room. Then thoroughly brush all the larger upholstered fur- niture and cover with dust sheets. After that sweep the floor. If you have a large carpet which cannot be taken up easily, sweep the carpet first. Then leave the room for a while to allow the duet to settle. Re- turn and dust evezy article in the zoom, clean tate window ledges, top of the door and skirtings, also picture rails. Take down the pictures, dust and replace. Polish floor surrounds. Use furniture polish twice a year • after washing off the old poIisit with vinegar and water. Floors of course, need polishing more often—a lot de- pends upon the kind of floor and the amount of traffic over it. Finally replace small furniture. AT THE TEA "Let's see, whom were we discus- sing?,, "Mercy me, I forgot. Who went out last?" While soil fertility is the basis of profitable crop production, the cor- rect care and management of the soil will not alone guarantee good crops, The selection of suitable varieties and protection from insect pests and diseases are also essential. gieSNAPSHOT CUftD GETTANG CORRECT EXPOSURE To get exposures right, classify your subjects correctly. Here, backs are to the sun, so faces are in "open shade." IT TS NOT difficult to get correct J• exposure for an outdoor picture, although the matter seems to bother many amateur photograph. ars. As a matter or fact, a moment's thought and a bit of common sense will settle almost any exposure question. In figuring any exposure; the es- sential point is: ltow much light does the subieet reflect? A brilliant beach scene Will reflect a great deal of light—so, obviously, mom - sure can be less than for an "aver- age" scene, On the other hand, a shady scene or very dark subject reflects less light to the camera— arid so exposure must be more than average. Inexpensive cameras—such. as the'popular box type and low-priced folding models—are adjusted to give correct exposure for subjects in sunshine, when loaded with average film of average speed. For finer cameras, and the same film, the basic exposure for subjects in sunshine is 1/50 second at 1/8 lens opening. The inexpensive cameras in many cases have an adjustment for a smaller lens opening, to be used when picturing sunlit subjects ou a beach, or on brilliant water. With a finer camera, you can simply stop down to 1/11, and shoot these scenes at 1/50 second. Pictures of a subject In open shade (not under trees) can be taken with a liner camera at 1/25 second and 1/8, or 1/50 second at 1/5.6. With a, box or inexpensive. folding camera, place the subject in somewhat deeper shade, and give a very short "time" exposure, with the camera on a firm, steady sup- port, such as a table edge. For a few cents, you can get an exposure guide which eliminates Calculation of exposures. You sim- ply set a dial for the type of subject or lighting—and •the correct Iens opening and shutter speed are auto- maticaliy indicated. Be sure to classify your subject ' correctly. Note the picture above. The general scene is bright and open, but the subjects' backs are to the sun. Therefore, the faces are Marled, and so they could actually be classified as subjects in "open shade." Don't let exposure worry you. Ap- ply common sense to it—use a de- pendable exposure guide—and you need never get an incorrectly ex- posed 'shot. 285 John van Guilder
