That ,does not mean that the other thirty-nine per cent. voted against releasing- the Government, because no such verdict can be claim- ed. from Monday's vote. In brat thirty-nine per .cent. were included thousands of Canadians who were merely too indifferent or too lazy to -Make the, effort to come out and cast their balloted That is. a ceedangly regrettable and much of the blame must rest 'on the shoulders ...of the Members of Parliament themselves. In many, ridings there. was not even a skeleton of an organization formed to either explain the issue or get out.. the vote, and because it is a well . known fact that voters are notoriously lazy, the result was what it was. Nor can the "No" vote, 'siuch as it ,vas, be laid at the door of the Prov- ince of Quebec,.' where over zealous patriots were hoping to place' it, be- cause the negative vote there was only three to one, which left a wide margin of participation for the other Provincesof the Dominion. No doubt .a large proportion of thosewho voted in the negative be- lieved they were voting against con- scription. onscription. They were doing nothing of the kind. The Premier has re- peatedly said that the issue was sole- ly one of effecting a release - from Government pledges, To what use that release may or may not be put will depend entirely uponthe future (teethe: war and no one can tell what that future will be. But what Mr.. King did point out in his broadcast last .week was, that if we do not do all in our power to help our Allies, we can not 'ask ,them, in an hour of need, to help us. We would be left a helpless people . to protect alone the richest prize in the world, and the one most coveted by a ruthless foe. • In our own riding of Huron -Perth the banner of achievement goes to the Town of . Exeter, that ,polled ninety-five per cent. of its available vote and a vote that was practical_- ly Aa unanimous in That shows'. what interest in "public affairs plus organization can achieve, and shows too, that the rest of the municipali- ties •' were sadly lacking in this re- spect. • Map Help Some The restrictions on the use of gaso- line, as a war measure, may, -inci- dentally, prove one of the greatest measures . of preserving civilian life as well. Without gasoline motors can not run and the more cars ban- ished from the roads and highways, the greater saving of life there will be. - "Apparently it is hopeless to expect • any reduction in motor accidents otherwise. Over the past week -end there were four fatal.- motor acci- dents in this part of Western On- tario alone, and that is by no means ax'ecord. Week after week the kill- ing goes on. If viewed from no -other angle than that of saving civilian life, the peo- ple "should welcome gasoline restric- tions. Reducingthe speed limit, af- ter the first of May, to forty miles an hour, should help some too. Away Ahead � .e, spring of will1042 y go local history 'asQ possibly of the "est o t record. And, possibly too, lie of the most • advanced years. M Seeding is• h,nisl ed, and we Mare , told that there !me never been a et ter seed bed; There; was enough moisture to a -lake the land work beautifully, and now the seeded land awaits' the rain that is sure to come and which will turn ;the brown earth into a carpet of green. The weather, too, has been really remarkable. Not too hot and not too cold; no froet and no high winds. The fall wheat is thick and abundant and pasture land will soon be ready for the stock. , Everywhere there are signs of great promise. Promise that we hope will meet with rich fulfilment, be- cause there never has been and, per- haps, -never will be a time when we needed more than an abundant .har- vest. No one, of course, can prophesy for the • future, but the present is f.bout all we could have wished for, and we bhould be grateful; And we are. • We Are Fortunate If we are honest, we must admit that since the restrictions on the use of gasoline went into effect, that we are getting all the gasoline we need —and more. But, of course, we are not getting all: we want. But even, at that, when we look about us, and see how the people in other countries are • rationed, we must also admit to,..:..ourselves that we are very, very fortunate.. Here is the score: Canada—Begun April 1, between 360 and 432 (imperial) gallons a year, depending upon the supply. United States — For seventeen Eastern States scheduled for May 15, about 25 gallons a months, or 300 gallons a"year.. England—For April, May and June,enough to drive 120 miles a ,\ month. After July 1, none except for "genuine need." Germany and Axis -occupied Coun- tries—Begun long ago; none at all, except on special military allowanc- es. ct- -that; 'the' fi ,i t •w th Pas peed * ®f . dirty Sial bweitiye$ve Teltais i►g'o. .'asp Roney • Lazar Karpers, a New York ac- countant, is authority for the state- ment that there is more than three billion dollars lying around which the United States Government could pick up quickly and easily. He has proposed that the Govern- ment take over, for war purposes, all funds.and'endowments of the past for which' thereis now, no longer any use. As ;an example, he mentioned the. Bryan. Mullauphy Fund set-up in the City of St. Louis in 1851 for worthy travellers passing through on their way to take up new lands in the West, „ fund which now exceeds a millionollars. And there are hundreds of other similar endowment funds for which there is now no outlet and which are ,increasing in amount year by year as, interest accumulates on them. It looks like pretty easy money for Uncle Sam.

The ponies( are Stough and rough and, weigh about seven hundred pounds, and are descendants of a shipload of French horses wrecked on Sable Island centuries ago.

The events preceding Dun- eerseas).—Long before this".1942 Can= •adian Corps was born; the prediction -of all prospective relatives and friends and. likewise, its potential= enemies, was that it would be a particularly tough chip off aka old hard -,fighting block. It ,was con-'fidently felt that the new military embryo would embody most of its warrior forbear's training - ground habits and aggressive battle- fields characteristics, plus great speed and hitting power through mechan- ization. It would ,be scornful, o"f obsolete customs and impatient with outworn rule books and doctrines. Its person- ality would be marked by vigor, re- source and complete self-reliance. It would be, grimly cheerful and reso- lute on defence and, most assuredly, a terror to its foes • on the attack. This last, above •all. Far that remarkable .combination of attributes, native Canadianii}itia- tive and, aggression, had given its fighting predecessor renowned skill and success in offensive operations. If they proved hereditary trkits, they promised that the new Canadian Army would be made-to-order for the ex- pected warfare df the looming clash- es of mechanized armies. ,Ail early predictions came true. From' its first day, ,the military new - arrival' evinced every sign of being lusty, independent -minded and arrog- antly "confident. As an infant it as a bit unruly and unorthodox, but it as plainly bursting with the old energy, the old audacity, and unquenchable fighting spirit. Before the end of Sep- tember, 1839, the lst Division !began ,squalling for permission to stand up and fight. Anxious To 'Play Attacker's Role The First Canadian Corps has nev- er stopped clamoring to get into the struggle. Throughout its early train- ing and equipping it continued, to hope for an attacker's role, and all through the long period of growth andd expansion the destiny. at which it aimed, ,and toward which Canada looked in its behalf, was a major share in.. great British 'offensives against the common enemy:'. But= -then carne the collapse of one Allies, followed by reorganization of all British land -forces. •-'-- it was•' at 'once seen -'that the Cana- dlan Corps' *f ailsty prop ertSIti0s- were to be • giveff fttL1• - opportutiiik w'heii tlie •ithnnce •camie, The•scietttlild seldierik who had been preparing then(. settee to become 'mentors, teac'b-• ors valid leaders for resin, had at4t) •beets preacttitag t'h a e, �tvia sr : ine,rand arli or-plbtd : e• 'bin" dftiCe . kirk gave, them their chance to set about making the • Corps an exceed- ingly fast-moving and immensely pow- erful 'replica of its famous assault - skilled ' forbear. • -They gave it unusually high fire- power in guns, and an exceptionally high proportion of tanks for' hitting strength. In othet ,;words, the Cana- dian ana dian Army planners provided the tools and transport to make it the mighty offensive - weapon which. Canada ex - Meted and desired. The rest depend- ed on grooming. • It has been no one's' fault that this great-y'oung war -machine, which was born with such confident expectations of early fame in offensive battles, was chosen to hold a defensive •position in the British ,Isles. Blame it on the exigencies of war. 'Blame it on geography and shipping. Blame. it on the roll of events in 'this' unpredictable conflict which suddenly made the Island Kingdom the most momentously crucial position of the far -spread struggle. The Canadians were already, there; -with other troops the responsibility of holding fast be- came theirs. That was all. • Corps Kept Assault -Minded The unexpected defence role, brought about by the fortunes of war, was a bitter disappointment to the men of the Corps. To its leaders, the situa- tion created a difficult ,problem, There could be no thought of abandoning the basic purpose of the Canadian Corps as a major offensive weapon. 'Somehow, mainly by careful planning of the training process, the Corps shad to be kept "assault -minded and offen- sive llrtactical skill and.. ability, while always equipped, armedr and trained, and ready at any hour, for the threat- ening "invasion battle."
