Seal, Makes 4 pinta Queen's esser8- gers Live Dangerously The disappearing diplomatic bags - that vanished recently 10 turn up later on an unattend- ed lorry - once again brought into the headlines the vitally important and hush -i isii work of the Queen's Messengers, Foreign Office ooitxiers ` who carry top-secret .State docu- ments to and from foreign capi- tals. One member of this romantic body estimates that he has tra- velled more than 1,000,000 miles during the last eight years, all on highly important missions for the Foreign Office. It is a cast-iron rule that in no circumstances must a courier allow his diplomatic case to be out of his sight, So when Sir Henry Johnson was aboard an aircraft which developed en- gine trouble over the Andes not so very long ago, his first thoughts were for the safety of the diplomatic papers he was taking to Peru. As the aeroplane pancacked on to a stretch of flat ground which the pilot had fortunately spotted, Sir Henry gathered his precious satchels and prepared to remove them, lest the ma- chine caught fire. Then, in a howling wind and under a bit- terly cold sky, he mounted guard over them until rescuers arrived from Lima several hours later, Naturally, some of the most dangerous journeys have been made in war -time, when the conveyance of secret documents becomes vital, and the enemy strives to outwit the couriers. The adventures of the Knights of the Silver Greyhound (as the corps are often called) in World War II have yet to be officially revealed, but if their experi- ences wre anything like those of Messengers in World War I they will make thrilling read- ing. Perhaps the most experienced and most intrepid courier of all time was Sir Park Guff. He covered hundreds of thousands of miles on Foreign Office mis- sions, travelling by rail car, ship, and even sleigh and sub- marine. In the 1914-1918 war he defied enemy agents by crossing the Channel eighty times, the North Sea thirty times, and the Mediterranean twenty-two times, in addition to visiting more dis- tant parts of the world. He sustained a broken leg an eight broken ribs when a ship taking hm across the North Sea was torpedoed, yet he refused to be "invalided out" of the Sil- ver Greyhound corps. The Queen's Messengers have an astonishing record of suc- cesses. Only very rarely since the founding of the corps by Charles II has a British diplo- matic bag fallen into wrong. hands. One such mishap occurred fifty years ago, when a courier taking State papers overland to. Italy was delayed at a 'mountain inn, Eager to deliver the docu- ments without further loss of time, be was delighted when a fellow traveller offered hien a lift in a sleigh, Only a few miles had been covered when the driver pulled the horses sharply to one side. The courier was thrown head- long, into a snowdrift, Stunned and bleeding, he recovered in time to see his "benefactor" be- ing driven away with the dip- lomatic bag. Pursuit vias im- possible, and the papers were never recovered. A second mishap to a Messen- ger's satchel occured when a ship bringing him from Greece was held up by a U-boat. As soon as he realized what was happening, the courier threw his case overboard. 1310,0. his con- sternation it floated /hd was re- covered by the ciewf the sub- marine. As a result :of I ti',gincident, all British diplematio' bags are. now weighed, so that they will sink immediately if they have to be jettisoned. Though the courier's resource- fulness failed on that occasion, in many other instances quick thinking has resulted In des- patches being safely delivered, despite great difficulties. Major Alfred Custance, whose exploits rivalled those of Sir Park Goff, was once entrusted with carrying secret war re- ports to Britain from Holland. Warned by the Foreign Office that the ship taking him across the North Sea would probably be intercepted by the enemy if his presence aboard was known, he embarked inside a crate labelled "Margarine." Another wearer of the Silver Greyhound badge thwarted Mexican bandits who captured him. He threat- ened to commit suicide if they stole his despatches, and con- vinced them thaf when the British authorities heard of his death the robbers would be re- lentlessly pursued until venge- ance was obtained. His words 00 impressed the bandits that they quickly released hint'. Once a courier was arrested as a spy and condemned to be shot, despite the Greyhound badge whch he produced to prove his identity. He escaped the death penalty by clutching his dispatch -case to his breast and declaring that his Govern- ment would want to know why the documents were stained with blood. His captors reluc- tantly let him continue his jour- ney. One of the most vital secrets ever carried by a courier, how- ever, was entrusted to a woman messenger - the only instance of one of her sex being allowed to use the badge. Her job was to bring samples of high explosive from Sweden La England, after a Swedish manufacturer had offered to meet an urgent British short- age. No messenger was avail- able in Stockholm, so for the MERRY MENAGERIE til 'It's the pent hays Dietl •r -in. law!" one mission the wife of a Bri- tish Legation, official was given full diplomatic privileges. She succeeded in taking the samples t0 London. In conse- quence, the War Office was able to make a swift deal with Sweden, just at a time when the suply of munitions for the Allied war effort was causing concern. Most of the forty -odd pres- ent-day Queen's Messengers are middle-aged family men. But, come tempests or revolutions, wars or earthquakes, the high aims of the corps are observed. The royal courier strives by any available means to complete his mission, n0 matter what the hazards and difficulties. It is a proud tradition handed down since Charles the Second enlisted four couriers during his exile in Holland. He gave them each a silver greyhound broken from the four corners of a porringer, and it has been their badge ever since. LIVES SAVED BY SAUSAGE SHINS Dr. Nils Alwall of Lund Uni- versity, Sweden, is saving lives to -day with his artificial kidney "gun." A woman recently tried to commit suicide by swallowing a bottle of sleeping tablets; she went into a coma, so often the the sleep Of death. But, while she lay unconscious, the doctor got to work with his machine. Six hours later, she was up and about, dressing herself calmly, and telephoning home, basically, twenty - six yards of The doctor's kidney gun is, basically, twenty-six yards of sausage skin -connected to a highly intricate cylindrical drum of stainless steel. Through this engine the patient's blood is pumped and cleansed of noxi- ous poisons. And the victim's natural kidneys„ thus rested slowly resume their true service. In this way seemingly hopeless cases dying of alocholic or nar- cotic poisoning, and major ab- dominal operations are flushed back to life, A person can now live for three Weeks without normal kidney function, says Dr, Alwall. Mother (proudly watching her 2 -year -old) -"He's been walking like that for almost 'a year." Visitor -"Amazing! Can't you make him sit down?" azs.- Kcm NAY, 'an''a JOOL LESSON By Rev. le t%arelay Warren, B.A., B.O. Christian Citizens/tip and Cooperation Romans 181-10; 1 Corinthians 314-9; Memory Select lo Levi' worketh no in to leis neighbour; therefore love is the belittling of the law. Romans 1.3:10. Paul was a Jew and the JeWI were under Roman rule. But Paul was no revolutionary plot- ting t0 Overthrow the Romans. Instead he laid down principles of citizeznship applicable to Christians for all time whether under a foreign power or en- joying freedom as we in. Canada do today. Rulers are set to execute jus- tice and punish crime. In so far as they perform this function they are the ministers of God, They are worthy of our honour and support, Some in their prle vate life do not live as Chris- tians. This is unfortunate, Nevertheless we owe them a cer- tain honour by virtue Of their office. All agree that it would be fine if all in public office lived exemplary Christian lives. It is not easy. There are many temptations to compromise prin- ciple for political advancement. Nevertheless there are those who resist the Tempter and con- tinue steadfast in the faith. One need not become a slave to the vices of the many because he is a leader. Indeed he should set an example of righteousness be- fore them. Paul's exhortation to "Owe no man anything, but to love one another,"' is timely for today. Credit buying sounds easy but many have gone in beyond their depth. The resulting frustra- tion leads to nervousness that may bring other ills and evils. The man who deliberately ig- nores his financial obligations will never inspire the confidence Of his acquaintances. Those un- paid debts will contradict his testimony, however eloquent it may be. The man who has be- come involved through illness or faulty judgment can hold faith with his creditors by paying '1t it to the full measure of his ability. Cooperation is needed among nations, among neighbours and in the church. "We are labour- ers together with God." Paul planter, Apolios watered but God gave the increase.

"He's quite right," said the manager, r "But youhave a sign in the front of your store, sir, that reads: 'Money cheerfully refund- ed if not satisfactory.' In accord- ance with that claim, I demand my money back." I'm afraid you've misinter- preted our sign," the manager said. "We found nothing wrong with your money."
