TO OWN AND TREASURE
SIX YEARS OF WAR; the of-
ficial history of the Canadian
Arty in the Second World War.
by Col. C. 1. Stacey; Director
Historical Section, General
Wad f.
This is the first volume of the
Official History of the Canadian
Army in the Second World War.
It deals with events in Canada,
with the experience of the Army
in Britain (including the raiding
operations conducted from the
British base), and with the war
against Japan. The operations of
Dieppe and Hong Kong are
described more fully than in any
previous account.
This volume is based upon
more thorough research than
was possible in the case of
Colonel Stacey's earlier "Offi-
cial Historical Summary". The
Canadian Army 1939-46, which
won a Governor -General's award
hit 1948. It is the product of ex-
haustive investigation in Cana-
dian, Allied and enemy records.
Born in Toronto,- Colonel C.
P. Stacey is a graduate of the
University of Toronto, and later
studied at Oxford and Princeton.
Before the Second World War
he was a member of the History
Department of Princeton Uni-
versity. He is the author of
"Canada and the British Army,
1846-1871" (1936) and "The Mili-
tary Problems of Canada"
(1940), and has written numer-
ous articles and pamphlets on his-
torical and military subjects. He
has also done historical broad-
casting. In 1948 he published
"The Canadian Army, 1939-45:
An Official Historical Summary".
This book received the Gover-
nor -General's Award for Acade-
mic Non -Fiction for that year.
In 1951 he was elected a Fellow
tsf the Royal Society of Canada
and is now its Honorary Corres-
ponding Secretary. He was Presi-
dent of the Canadian Historical
Association, 1952-53:
In 1940 he returned from the
U.S. to join the Army and was
appointed Historical Officer at'
Canadian Military Headquarters,
London. He supervised the his-
torical programme of the Cana-
dian Army Overseas during the
rest of the war, visiting the
Canadian fronts in Italy and
North-West Europe. He was ap-
pointed Director of the Histori-
cal Section of the General Staff
in 1945.
The book is illustrated with
a Frontispiece in full colour, 38
photographs in black and white,
14 maps of which 7 are in col- ,
our and - especially at the ex-
tremely moderate price of $3.50
- is one which should be in
overy library, both institutional
and private.
Bloodhounds
On The Traf!
"Olct Boston," leader of a pack
of Oklahoma bloodhounds, had
tracked down more than a hun-
dred criminals. Now, in his old
age, he found it hard to keep
patient, especially with young
policemen.
If his handler could not keep
pace while out on the trail, he
would turn on him, almost
testily. Once the old dog broke
away on a hot scent, his hand-
lers lost him and he was gone
all night. He limped home early
the next morning, thoroughly
disgusted. He had tracked his
quarry all right, and had chased
him till the man took refuge
in a tree.
All night long they stayed
there, and every so often "Old
Boston" looked round and
growled disgustedly because no
policemen came. At length,
when daylight came and nobody
had arrived to finish the job,
"Oid Boston" - got fed up and
went home.
The bloodhound has been
bred in England since before
the Norman Conquest. With his
heavy shoulders, deeply fur-
rowed mask and bloodshot eyes
he looks fierce and formidable,
but he is, in fact one of the
sweetest natured dogs. He was
given the name bloodhound, not
because he was out for blood,
but because he was a blooded
hound, an animal of highly
selective breeding.
It has been suggested that the
bloodhound would be more suit-
able for police work if he were
hardier. Experiments were
made to produce a cross be-
tween the bloodhound and the
rough -coated otterhound. When
the puppies had grown suffi-
• ciently they were put on trial
with a good deal of success, and
it is hoped that a breed will be
evolved with all the stamina of
the otterhound, plus the won-
derful scenting powers of the
bloodhound.
Even when unable to lead di-
rectly to the criminal, the blood-
hound can sometimes indicate
a valuable clue. Some years ago,
a hound was brought to an
'English country house where
there had been a burglary.
He ambled round the garden
and suddenly picked up a scent.
With tail wagging furiously, he
sniffed his way to a clump Of
bushes and then, thoroughly
pleased with himself, looked up
at' his handler. Under the bush
was an envelope which had
been through the post and
which led to the identification
of the burglar.
In another case, a well-known
bloodhound breeder helped the
Scottish police investigate the
murder of a small boy on the
east coast of Scotland.
The scent was considerably
more than a day old but was
undsturbed because there had'
been no wind to blow it away,
LUCKY - Ten tons of coal caved in on William Walters, 57, but
he still manages a slight smile and a thumbs -up sign. The acci-
dent occurred in a coal hopper in Kingston, Ontario. Rope was
tied around Walters to keep him from slipping farther down into
tIle coal pile. He was rescued after two hours.

men in Berlin, Germany, wel-

y could walk right up to the
and because a heavy fog had
kept people at home.
The dogs set to work, picked
up a trail and even managed to
follow it along the main road
with its numerous strange
scents.
Eventually the trail came to
where the road forked. One fork
led to a town, the other,con-
tinued towards the railwasta-
tion. Without hesitation the
hounds led on to the station.
Police sent a description to sta-
tions up and down the line and
the murderer was caught.
In Sussex, in 1934, two police-
men investigating a burglary
came upon a man on the out-
skirts of the town. He drew a
revolver and fired, wounding
one of the officers, and then
made off.
Hundreds of police were call-
ed out to beat the commons
thick with gorse. By chance a
woman who bred bloodhounds
was staring in a Sussex hotel
and had two hounds with her.
In the middle of the night she
and the dogs were taken to the
scene of the burglary where a
hot trail led -off into the coun-
tryside. All at once one of the
hounds stopped and plunged to-
wards some near -by trees. A
man who had been lying under
the trees leapt to his feet.
It has been known for a crim-
inal to be scared into submis-
sion by the very , sight of a
bloodhound. In 1936 a woman
was found dead in a -boarding
house in the Catskill Mountains
in America.
It was thought at first that
she had died of shock and heart
failure. Further examination
showed, however, that she'had
been beaten and throttled to
death, and suspicion fastened on
an Indian half-breed who had
taken to the woods. He was a
desperate man, known to be
armed, who had already done
one shooting.
The state troopers brought
"Old Red" their bloodhound,
and began the hunt. As they
slowly closed in Old Red seem-
ed to know that the fugitive
was armed for he became very
cautious. At length, every hair
a -quiver, he crawled through
some undergrowth on his belly,
the troopers creeping behind.
Suddenly the great hound tore
loose and shot ahead, snarling.
Immediately there came a
man's terrified scream: "Take
him away! He'll kill me!"
The troopers broke through
the thickets and rushed out into
a clearing. There was the half-
breed frantically trying to climb
a tree to avoid the fangs of the
leaping, snarling bloodhound.
"I'll tell everything," howled
the man. "Only for Pete's sake
take that dog away!"

Do you ever wonder what life
will be like in the year 1976?
You yourself will be twenty
years older, but you'll see some
amazing changes -if recent pre-
dictions by U.S. experts prove
accurate.
You'll live in an all -steel,
portable and fireproof . home.
You'll be able to change the
colour scheme of any room in
your home by merely waving
the hand, say these prophets.
You'll stand in front of an
electronic panel and as you
wave your hand the waves,
cutting across the lines of force
or photo -electric beams, will
activate switches to hidden
fluorescent light lamps which
will bathe the room in a new
set of colours.
Sounds fine, eh? But in the
home as well as elsewhere
there'll be many more wonders
to make life brighter and better.
