Canadians Don't. KnoW thgi.Stary Yet
With such a great.anti ;Important
a task on our hands, it seems strange
that Canadians don't know the ntory'
of the British Commonwealth Air
,Training, Pdan. They have read about
it again and again, without realizing
itreally
what means.
Early in May, the editors of weekly
newspapers ,in Ontario and .Quebec
had an opportunity, to visit one of the
Bombing and Gunnery Schools near
Lake Erie. More than one expressed
surprise at . the magnitude and effi-
ciency of the camp. Yet this is but
.one of 83 training camps and schools
which will be used in the completed
plan.
Another Ontario editor recently
spent an • afternoon in a great peat
bog on the ihigh,tablelands of South-
western Ontario. It is a flat country-
side where there is nothing to ob-
struct the view for miles and no sound
except the occasional bird He' was
amazed at the continual procession of
planes high overhead. It seemed -that
before one was out of sight and hear-
ing, another would be coming over
the horizon, most et them bombing
planes which had travelled many
Idles. Back home that night, he
stayed outside for an hour to watch
snore bombers cutting across the sky.,
thouugh all he could see each time
was one more star, Idistinguitshable
only because it moved and was some-
times red. or green. He was filled
with a great curiosity about how these
men are trained.
The First of a Series
This is the first of a series of
articles about the Air Training Plan
and the R.C.A.F. They are being
written for- the readers of Ontario's'
weekly newspapers to answer some
of the questions so often asked, and
to tell Canadians what their Royal
,F r
Canadian Air -Force is doing.
d g.
When the • 'officers of the Canadian
Weekly Newspapers • Association met
at Ottawa recently, there was much
discussion about what their papers
could do to help the war effort. It was
suggested that one editor be chosen
to write about the Air Force. The
fullest co-operation was freely offered
by the Department of Public Infor-
mation, not only in the matter of ar-
ranging visits to the various camps
and -schools, but in supplying pictures
to go with them. I was chosen for
that interesting task.
Already I have visited several
centres; in the next few weeks I will
be going to manly others. Already, I
can testify to the courtesy and warm
welcome from all. whom I have met.
Questions have been freely • answered
and I have been shown, all I asked to
see. The only restriction is as to the
numbers graduating and going to the
Motherland. The need for secrecy is
apparent to anyone. But already it
bas been announced in Parliament
that over 50,000 young Canadians have
enlisted in the R.C.A.F.-enough to
snake up three divisions of 'infantry. -

Serious Fire
The most serious fire in Goderich
for many months was on Thursday
night last, at the home 'of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph .,Allison, Britannia road
north. 'An explodingoil stove was ap-
parently the cause of the blaze. The
flames spread under the roof and the
fire brigade had a two-hour fight to
extinguish them. Mr. an Mrs. Reg-
inald Williamson were tenants of the
upper part of the house. Much of the
furniture was removed, but not with-
out some damage. The house is own-
ed.by C. E. Allison, father of Joseph
Allison. Loss •estimated at $2,000 is

Of the many stout jobs handed to
Dr. Hugh Llewellyn Keenleyside in
Ottawa, none has been more particu-
larly fitting than., his present duty es
Secretary of the Canadian Section of
the Permanent Joint Defence Board.
For the last work he .polished on be-
fore joining the Department of Ex-
tenni Affairs in 1929 *as the writing
of an authoritative volume, "Canada
and the United. States." In this book
a kindly personality dodges back and
forth across the border, telling with
enthusiasm but with no spleen the
story of the North American contin-
ent, tracing with complete frankness
the vicissitbdes leading up to "the
lifting of the relationships of the Unit-
ed States and Canada to a, place of
sane dignity," as the volume's intro-
duction puts it. The general public,
hoping in their hearts that "sane dig-
nity" may. yetevolve en the affairs
of the world at large, feel confident
that Dr. Keenleyside will play a truly
constructive part in the hopeful and
rather exciting collaboration between

partment of the Secretary of State
for External Affairs.

side moved' a few months late
=
r to
Vancouver, where he was brought up,
took his B.A. at the University of !
British Columbia, and •trulp planted
bis heart in Canada's west. At Clark
University, Worcester, Mass., he took
his M.A. "and Ph.D: in Economic His-
tory a n d • International Relations.
Thereafter he taught history and eco-
nomics... et Pennsylvania State, Brown
and Syracuse Universities in the Unit-
ed States and at his own Alma Mater
in Canada. '
Keenleyside's first outside job for
the External Affairs Department was
to go over to Japan in 1929 to open
Canada's new Ministry in Tokia. He
remained as First. Secretary, with
stretches of acting as Charge D'Af-
faires, until 1936. The Hokuseido
Press in Japan published in 1937 an-.
other book in which Dr. Keenleyside
collaborated with an Englishman, A.
F. Thomas, 11F.A1. (Oxon)' ' MJR.T.S,,
"History of Japanese Education.'
Baron. Torii,. while Japanese Minis-
ter at Ottawa, declared that suchwas
the prestige earned for 'himself by
-Dr. ,Keenleyside , during his years in
Tokio that any 'writing of his on Ja-
pan 'was . certain to be both accurate
and valuable. Dr. Keenleyside, dur-
ing his stay ,in Tokio, was a member
of the Council of the Asiatic Society
of Japan.
'As Secretary of the Interdepartmen-
tal Committee on the Royal Tour in
1939, the individually made the "con-
tact" between the Committee, 'who
formed policies, and the general pub-
lic, private persons and organizations
as well, all over Canada. His part in
the success of the tour was invalu-
able, due in large d'eg'ree to his own
personality. With no trade of bur-
eaucracy and a refreshing Western
habit of doing his own, thinking, Dr.
Keenleyside could be firm and digni-
fied, giving the public a clear impres-
sion of the importance not of his own
authority but of the country's pride
in how it arranged things for it King
and Queen.
On the appointment of the late. Lor-
ing Christie as Minister:. to Washifig-
ton, Dr. Keenleyside was promoted to
the position of Counsellor in the De-
partment of External Affairs. His task
in the department was a full one, cov-
ering among bther duties membership
on the ,Canadian Shipping Boardl and
the War Scientific and Technical De-
velopment Committee. He is also a
member of the North West Territor-
les Council as successor to the late
Dr. Skelton. The Government has re-
served the right for Dr. Keenleyside

Abe: felloycing letters, tolling in
graPh1c detail Of life in England, were
recently received by Mrs. '$.' Whit-
taker, of Seaforth, frdm cher husband,
who is with the OA.S,F, overseas;
31st April, 1941.
We all -know the bore; who insists
on•
telling us in detail about his opera-
tion; how he was rushed to the hos-
vital and spent manyblissful minutes
on .the operating table under the sur-
geou's knife; bow he had "tubes" and
.countless dressings and stitches, and
how he was eo near death's door; that
one false step would have cent hire
headlong, and how that marvellous
doctor dragged him ,back from the
brink. Then, when the narrative be-
gins to lose punch, the remembers gas
pains, and enemas and light diets and
bed sores and all the nefarious things
the doctors and nurses the to all sick,
and he's off again, on another round.
But that's all changed now. No longer
do we hear, "Oh yes, I had a very
serious operation didn't I tell you
about it?" No longer do we hear the
hushed reverent tones of the convales-
cent, or the awesome,..,"Oh's" and
"Ah's" and "That reminds me" of the
assembled envious friends. Yes, that's
all gone. Who's interested in gall
bladders, when he can talk about in-
cendiaries? Who cares about appen-
dices when he can tell about bread
baskets? The cyst gives way to the
H.E. and the kidney stone ;goes doer].
to defeat before the land mane. The
hospital bed is replaced by the shel-
ter and the -operating theatre 'becomes
the front lawn!
"Did you hear about our bomb?" is
a safe and topical introduction to to-
day's conversation, and before you
have a chance to say Yes, he's away
in a non-stop flight about his latest
experience. The bomb bore has sul•-
erceded the operation ogre. Which -,is
the greater of the two evils, only pos•,
terity will show. Suffice it to say that
the B:B. is now by "long odds the win-
ner. You see there are a number of
good reasons for this. Nearly every-
body here is, or will be, suffering
frum bombitis and they will be infect-
ed in a°' limited period of time. So
each and every one must tell his story,
because the war may end at any time
and there would then "6e• no oppor-
tunity of becoming thelceiatre of the
attraction -the lion of the moment.
Not to be outdone, we must tell
you about our bomb -or more correct-
ly, our bombs. Because, we have had
a series ol! 1the mrecently; so we are
well qualified. Just why the Luft-
waffe should consider us a military
objective we don't know, nor` do we
know of any military objective in our
area. However, he waste have such
ideas, because he's given us a few
frights and we don't like' them. s
One of ours was an H.E., or high
explosive. We heard it coming and
it gave us a very helpless sort of
"here's -the -end feeling" in the pits of
our stomachs. Actually we heard it
for only two or three seconds before
it banged off, but those were two or
three of those extra long seconds.
Our windows rattled and our house
shook, so we put on our coats and
went out to see where it nal landed.
We heard reports- of. windows being
blown out, and heard various opin-
ions as to where it had landed. It lit
about half a mile away ' and ruined
five windows in the house 'and 15 in
the greenhouse. I could have sworn
it lit less than . 50 yards away, but
then it was excusable: Every 13.13.
thinks'His bomb is closer than it real-
ly is. But it had done . much damage
to other places. It unfortunately' lit
in the' midst of -a group of hot hous-
es. We saw the. result today. A total
absence of glass in the wails and
roofs; and only the gaunt skeletons of
what had -once been a floui•:shing
business.
We watched a flaming chandelier of
orange lights falling around us, the
reflection of bursting .bombs. and A.A.
guns over London way, and then• told
in dxcited voicesof our various feel-
ing as we heard it coming. Hutehin-
sons remark that "He'd as soon die in
bed as stand shivering here," sent us
all inside in agreement. We slept
with only an occasional rattle of our
,windows ta remind us there was a
raid on.
But, apparently, Herman still had
an idea we were a military objective,
because a few nights later lie blitz -ad
us again. This time we did,n't hear it
coming -it was a Land Mine, WLtch
sailed slowly down via parachute.
Land mines are most annoying --the
first indication you have of them is
the explosion. This one struck a
tree beside a church and went off with
a terrible blast. It left a pile of rub-
ble 'where the church hal been and
blew out windows and store fronts
for a mile around'. Our list h village
is a wreck. As we passed that way
next morning, we paw the household-
ers critically assessing the damages.
But they were not pessimistic. Al-
ready repairs had started. Windows
were being covered with heavy paper,
•glass was being swept into piles, and
bricks and roof tiles were being re-
placed. The next morning it was bus-
iness as usual in the less badly dam-
aged, stores.
Another land mine had lit within a
stone's throw of what had been the
hot -housed, but had failed to go off.
It might be a delayed action bomb, so
all the houses within half a mile were
cleared of people. We were just in
the circle, but they left us there.,
Guards were mounted and our boys
bellied keep people away from the
area. Later in the following day a
bomb disposal squad removed the tim-
ing device, and we breathed safely
again. a
I had a good look at our little gift
today. It's about eight feet long and
two and a half feet across. A man-
e tall man -=could easily stand in'it.
It lies about at third of its length bur-
led slantwise in the earths -the huge

To keep track of all these jobs we
have a "task" book. In it we enter
every task that needs doing and the,
orderly Corporal for the day uses it'
as a guide for his day's work.: He kid-
naps every man not detailed' for some
other work and assigns him to a task.
When it is finished' the corporal ticks
off the entry in the book. If it is not
finished he ticks off the man! At first
the O.C. was the only one who saw
jobs that needed doing. Now, how-
ever, the Corporals are beginning rP a Splen g to
use their eyes and take a pride in the
place. Now it is they who see what
is to be done and .write it down of
their own accord. Maybe later the
privates will also begin to see the
light of day, but I have my doubts.
One thing is sure. When they return
to Canada these boys of mine will be
good housekeepers. They'll make ex-
cellent wives for some' fortunate girls.

In spite of the cool weather we have
the urge to plant a kitchen garden.
We were a bit staggeredi by the size
of the plot set aside by the previous
occupant, but we mobilized• our shov-
els and sailed in. The soil is soft and
and well loosened, so the digging
wasn't so bad. Then we bought seeds
and plants from regimental funds and
the sowing began. We hope they
come up. They should. It says so on
the seed envelope!
We've a little of everything and a
-lot of a few things., We're afraid the
result will be spectacular because
when we finished an envelope of seed
in the middle of one row, we continued
the row from a fresh envelope of - a
different kind of vegetable. We'll
probably have carrots and beets all
mixed up with parsnips and turnips.

feel' it will be alright as long as some
enthusiastic soldier doesn't mistake
our beets for weed's, because they are
growing in the same row as the pars-
nips.

In Truer
Perspective
A century ago men Were following
with bated breath the ax$arch of Na-
poleon, and waiting with feverish im-
patience for the latest news of the
wars. "And all the while in their own
homes, babies were being born. . . .
Let us look at some of these babies.
Why, in one year, lying midway be-
tween- Trafalgar and Waterloo (the
year the battle of Wagram was
fought) there stole into the world a
host of'heroes! During that one year,
1809, Mr. Gladstone was born at Liv-
erpool; Alfred Tennryson was born at
the Somersby rectory; and Oliver
Wendell Holmes made his first ap-
pearance in Massachusetts. On the
very self -same day of that self -same
-fear Charles .parw'in made his debut
at Shrewsbery, "'and Abraham Lincoln
drew his first breath in Old Kentucky.
Music Was enriched by the advent of
Frederic Chopin at Warsaw, and bleli'at
Mendelssohn at Hamburg. With
the same year, too, Samuel Morel
Was born at Homertod Edward 1"i
gerald at Woodbridge; (Elizabeth Bar-
rett Browning at Durhafn, and Fran-
ces Kemble in Louden.'
