And you're sick of standing around .
in line,
You're sick, you say, Well, ain't
that fine?
For I am sick of the sun and the
heat,
And I am sick of the feet of niy
aching feet,
And sick of the siren's wailing .,
shriek,
And I'm sick of the groans of the
wounded and weak.
.I'm sick of the slaughter, I'm
sick tonly soul,
-'m sick of playing the Killer's
role,
Ar I'm sick of the groans of death
and the smell.
`And I'm sick, damned sick, of my-
self as well,
But I'm sicker still of a tyrant's
rule
And conquered lands
wild beasts drool;
And I'm cured damned quick when
I think of the day
;Metz alt this hell will be

:When none of this mess

And the lights of the 'world will

And the Axis flags will be dipped

And God looks deeve on a perfect

session of :Canada's 10th Parlia-
ment,. Proposal
arlia-
inent.:Proposal to introduce pro '
vision for a ,price floor for staple
farm products to ensure dtability
for agriculture follows an announce-
ment anad, ;some time ago by the
Prince Minisfet that this measure
was under consideration, No group
in the Donaihion has contributed
more in hard work and human en-
edurance to the winning of the war
than the farmer and his family.
The coming season will call for
no less effort than in the previous
war years. A floor on farm pro-
ducts in the future would be an in-
centive to meet this call.

If you are tempted 'to use feed
grain from the West for seed this
year, the . advice of Experimental
Farm experts is "Don't,"
While there are several varieties
of wheat, oats and barley -that do
equally well in both .Eastern and
Western Canada, as proven in
tests made by the Cereal Division,
Experimental Farm Service, Ot-
tawa, the only safe seed to buy is
Registered seed. Owing to the pos-
sibility of a shortage of seed grain
this spring, farmers are' urged to
order now. In addition to the pos-
sibility of IVestern feed grain being
unsuitable to various localities in
the East, attention is called to the
.danger of wild oats and other nox-
ious weeds which re -cleaning is
not guaranteed to remove.
* * . *
The farmer who Ilas his own
seed and who is doubtful about
its germinating qualities due to in-
jury by bad harvest conditions,
heating or other factors,. is advised
to test it. Make the test by count-
ing out 100 kernels and placing
then in a saucer of moist sand
with another saucer turned aver
it to help hold the moisture. (It
may be necessary to add a very
small amount of water each day
to keep the sand moist). In a few
days sprouts will begin to show
and it is then easy to determine
what percentage of the seeds will
grow.

THE WAR . WEEK -- Commentary on Current events
Why The R.A.F. Bomber Command
Is s Destroying Capital of Germany
The attack upon Berlin /larks
the highest point yet reached in
the bomber offensive, says Squad-
ron Leader John Strachey in Lon-
don Calling.
•This attack is a deliberate at-
tempt to deprive the enemy of the
use of his capital city, I:..'�.F. Bom-
ber Couinaud has set out to make
it impossible for the Nazis to use
Berlin. For remember, Berlin is
today the capital, not simply of
Germany, but of Hitler's whole
slave empire. Berlin is a city in
a totally different class to Essen,
Dusseldorf, or even Hamburg—or
any other of the cities which 'Bom-
ber Command ]las so far attacked.
Berlin is the fourth largest city in
the world. It is one of the half
dozen or so world capitals round
which the life not only of one na-
tion but of a whole area of the
world revolves, Berlin contains
factories of the Highest importance;
but its unique significance is that
the economic life of Central Europe
as a whole has been carried on by
means of the financial, marketing,
administrative, and transportation
facilities of Berlin.
Berlin Not Yet Destroyed
We don't know what the effect
of the paralysis of such a centre
wit be. For such a thing has
peter yet happened. If, however,
Barber Com/land can effect 'its
purpose, we shall know . , and
wvi:hin the next few weeks. It
ntly be that the Nazi empire can
be` caried on without Berlin. I
daiesay it can be. But the ruin
of 'Berlin—if it can be effected --
will take us a Iong step towards
the weakening of Germany to a
point where she will not be able
to resist the final attack. "If it
car be effected" — for don't let
us deceive ourselves for a monent
into supposing that Berlin has
already been destroyed,
Enemy Kept 3uessing
You can get solve idea of the
size of the task wlticlt Bomber
Command has set itself by com-
paring Berlin with Hamburg,
Hamburg was itself a vast city --
getting on for twice the size of
any city in Britain outside London.
Hamburg had 1,800,000 inhabit-
ants .and a fully built-up area of
8,382 acres. It is taking a whole
series of attacks to render such
a City as this useless to the
Nazis. 'Moreover, . it will, of
course, 'be impossible for Bomber
Comivand to peg away at Berlin
without iuterrnptioe. The enemy
trust be kept guessing as to where
we are going next,
Counter -Counter Measures
It isn't too much to say that the
bomber offensive is today the
joint product of the brains, the
courage, and the grinding hard
work of this entire nation, he
very success which has been
achieved may tend to snake some
people think that the bomber
Offensive ]las Just been a !!latter
of building asufficient number
of bombers; flying them over
Germany, • dropping' the bombs,
and coining r.otne again The fact
is that the bonnier offensive has
only - been Carried forward by
keeping one step ahead of the
enemy's continually improving
defences 'It would have been
fatal even to pause The counter-
measure -- the new method of
fighter attack against the new
forth of bomber defence -- has
never been long in coining We
have had to be be ready with the
counter — counter pleasures; and
we have beets.
Pathfinders Mark Targets
If, for example we were to at-
tack Berlin today with the same
aircraft and using the same
methods which we employed only
two years ago our bomber force
would be massacred in one or two
operations. But, equally, if today
our Lan casters, Halifaxes, Stir-
lings had to meet no more than
the defences which existed in
1942 they could destroy every
industrial centre in Germany with
negligible losses to themselves.
Recently, we have been given
an account of the work of our
Pathfinder Force. The need for
someone to find the path to the
target is obvious -- for naturally
that same darkness which slides
the bomber from the defending
fighter also tends to hide the tar-
get from the bomber.
The Pathfinders are marking
the target so that intensely
concentrated bombing is being
achieved. For Germany that's
perhaps the most ominous de-
velopment of all. For it is the
concentration. in both time and
space that counts ,-.. the tons per

Army Beauty Shops
Help Men's Morale
Applied psychology is being
used in the "be•tuty shops" which
are maintained by the American
Fifth Army in Italy, says the
Windsor Star. The establishment
of these depots shows the genius
which is going into effort to main-
' -in the morale and efficiency of
fighting men.
Much of the soldier's work makes
it necessary for hint, at times, to
be dirty and bedraggled. But the
majority of these glen do not enjoy
being ip that condition. They are
wiling to wade and crawl through
need to win a battle, bat once it is
over, they want to get cleaned up
as quickly as possible.
The "revival tents" give there
that opportunity, There they are
showered, shaved and outfitted
with clean new uniforms. In a
very real sense, they emerge as
new men, The "beauty shops" are
to be counted ani ng the most
valuable agencic for keeping the
men in fighting trim,
Hevea Tree Main
Source Of Rubber
From Hevea seeds taken from
the Western Hemisphere in 1876
grew the fields on which the world
has depended for ninety percent of
its rubber since 1020, says Middle
Anierica Bureau. Replanted in
Calcutta, Singapore and other posts
in the Far East, these wild seed-
lings became nine million acres of
rubber -producing trees.
Today the Hevea tree, the main
source of natural rubber, has re-
turned to the American tropics.
.i lone of seeds are being planted
in three Middle American count-
ries, Costa Rica, Honduras and
Panama, to become
plantations of tonlorow.
