"Away to The Canadian Rockies" Auew and harmonious note in travel literature is the latest Brinley "Away" book—"Away to The Canadian Rockies and British Columbia"—by. Gordon Brinley, with illustrations by her artistic husband, Putnam Brinley. Drawn to Western Canada by a booklet on the pleasures' enjoyed by the Trail Riders of the Cana- dian. Rockies, . the "Travelling Brinleys" spent an entire summer in the pursuit of happiness and of notes and illustrations for an addition to theirpopular series of travel books. In her happy, lucid style, Gor- don Brinley, the -writer, tolls of tl:^' visit to Calgary to see the West's largest rodeo and prepare for a long pack trip to Mount Assiniboine. They spent a holiday with the Sky -Line Trail Hikers and the Trail Riders of the Cana- dian Rockies, visiting Moraine Lake, Larch Vall'ey, and magnifi- cent Yoho'Valley, and thoroughly enjoyed the novelty of living in Indian teepees, fishing for trout in lakes in the clouds, and thrill- ing to the changing pageantry of their surroundings, Further adventures carried them to such famous lakes as Louise, Emerald, and O'Hara, right over. the Groat Divide into British Columbia, and on to Van - co Iver where they discovered another vivid countryside and ex- cellent fishing in the Vancouver Island salmon runs. The two adventure -loving Am- ericans have a large following of readers who will see the Cana- dian West through their eyes, at- tracted by the charming drawings by Mr. Brinley, the blithe and readable text by Mrs. Brinley, and the definite practical information they incorporate in their book for those who would follow in their footsteps. The pictures above show Mr, .and Mrs. Brinley (photo by Peter Whyte) and some of -the Cana. than Rockies' scenery they like beat. - Canada Takes Stand Against Hitlerism Proclamation Places Canada At War Canada has affirmed her loyalty to Their Maj'+ esties and declared a state of war between Canadal and Germany. The proclamation came a week after Great Britain had rallied to the support of Poland, For the first time in history, the senior dominion of the British Commonwealth, on its own account] and by its own will, exercised the prerogative of nationhood by declaring a state of war. In 1914, the Government merely published the British wall BRITAIN—`FOR THE DURATION' German hopes of quickly conquer- ing Poland and then inducing Britain and France to recognize another fait accompli are fast fading. News that German troops are moving west sup- ports Prime Minister Chamberlain's assurances in his broadcast to the Polish people and announcement of further financial assistance for the Poles. These developments may satisfy the doubtd of those wile expected Britain and France to send immediate military aid to Warsaw or .to create a major diversion in the West but had not taken full account. of •the military problem. Others, suspicious of Britain, may not be convinced un- til a great offensive drive has been launched against the Westwall and. Britain and France are so enmeshed in war that no armistice is possible. Several things may account for the fact .that Britain and France have not so tsar given Poland the kind of help amateur "war experts" expected. The British, French and Polish military staffs consulted on war plans some months back, and it may be assumed that the course they planned is being followed. The farther the German ar- anies go into a Poland where trans- port is difficult, the harder is their) position both as against the Poles and in case of a British -French of- fensive in the West, Moreover, it is quite possible that Britain and France .have had reason to hope that there would be a re- action within Germany which should be awaited before, operations which might antagonize the German people were begun, The "bombing" of Ger- man morale with millions of leaflets was a wise first effort. Also there may be diplomatic offensives under way which would be much more im- portant than any military offensive. What ever the reason, those who know the English people will be con- fident that there will be no betrayal of Poland. Britain has enlisted for the duration of the war both b'y solemn pledge to Poland and by a pledge to the best within herself. Britain has become convinced inthe last few months that it was not a question of Danzig or of the Corridor or of Poland, but of a decent life for Europe, free from recurrent crisis and continual fear of aggression.- Christian Science Monitor, THE BAPTIST CHURCH Rev.
