Vicious scrappers, swift P-3$ fighters like this one being unloaded in Australia, are adding plenty
of drive to the battle against the daps.
Have You Heard?
She watched the door of her
new establishment open to admit
her first client, Business had
started! A good impression must
be created!
Hurriedly she grasped the tele-
phone receiver and became en-
gaged in an animated conversa-
tion. Then an appointment having
been arranged, she replaced the
receiver, and asked: "What can I
do for you, sir?"
A moment's pause, and then:
"If you please, Ma'am, I've come
to connect the telephone!"
Briggs: "You say that your
wife went to 'college before
you married her."
Griggs: "Yee she did,"
Briggs: "And she thought
of taking up law, you said?"
Griggs: "Yes but now she's
satisfied to lay it down,"
Last month, a friend invited
me to his office to see a chair
that he said had cost $5,000.
"You must be kidding," I said.
"That chair is not worth $5,000."
"Maybe it isn't worth that
money," he agreed, "but that's
what it cost me last year, just
sitting in it, when I should have
been up and after business!"
Joe: "What's become of
the Hiker's Club?"
Jim: "Oh, it disbanded. It
was getting too hard to. per-
suade passing motorists to
pick us up and give us a lift"
An old lady was arguing with
the driver about the cost of the
taxi ride.
"I tell you the price you are
charging us poor people who have
been bombed out of our homes is
ridiculous. Do you think I have
been traveling in a taxi for years
for nothing?"
"No" replied the driver, "but
I'm jolly well sure you've tried
your hardest."
"Tommy," asked hie stingy
uncle, "how would you feel
if 1 were to give you a pen-
ny?"
"I think," replied Tommy,
"that I would feel a little
faint at first, but I'd try and
get over it."
"How did Maguire lose the fin-
gers of his right hand?"
"Oh, he put them in a horse's
month to find out how many teeth
he had."
And then what happened?"
"The horse closed his mouth to
find out how many fingers Ma-
guire had."
"George, am as I as dear to
you as I was before we were
married?"
"Ab, in those days I didn't

Ways To Punish
Nazis After War
When the next peace is consid-
ered, the Allies will have before
them two alternatives, states The
Loudon Sunday Times. One is to
purge ruthlessly and on a large
scale the Nazis and militarists and
then give a chance to German
democracy; the other is to dis-
criminate less, but be much more
severe toward the nation • as a
whole.
If, however, the discriminating
policy is pursued, it must not be
a question : of merely putting spe-
cial criminals to death. That may
be done, but not that alone. Large
bodies of Germans constitute at
this moment the Gestapo, the
SAS., and the party officials. None
of them need have filled any of
these positions; they volunteered;
and in doing so they pledged
themselves to take part in any
atrocity.
No one would suggest shooting
so large a multitude, but there
may be strong arguments for re-
moving them from the future Ger-
many and putting them where they
can do no more mischief.

Of Great Disaster
1,685 Persons Killed in Ex-

Dec. 6 was the 26th alnliversary

It was on Sunday, Dec, 6, 1917,
that the Halifax explosion Literally

United States Year
Ahead Of Schedule
The U. S. Navy carrier -building
program is 25 mouths ahead of

planes more are to be given to the
Navy,
What a feat that carrier build-
ing is It means that the Ameri-
cans are averaging a year ahead
on every one of the 17 carriers
under construction. The first
half-dozen were begun only last
year.
It means that America's ship-
builders are doing a four-year job
in 'two -years; that the first of

The explosion was invesltlgated
by the law courts, and tiro case
was taken to the privy council.
That tribunal ruled both ships had
been at fault, .Rumors of sabotage
are still unproven today.

ruins of the old. A large-scale war-
