• The Church Bells
• Canadians were reminded on Sun-
day Iast that while our nation is at
war, we are, as yet, merely on the
fringes of it. •Never at any time in
the past three years has our freedom
been restricted or our ordinary ways
Of life been much -changed.
It has been different in Britain. -
There the war has been brought so
nearly home to them that their living
and ways of living have been com-
pletely changed.
For that reason we can Scarcely
appreciate the feelings and expres-
sions of joy and the spirit of thank-
fulness experienced by the people of
the old land, when on Sunday last•
they heard again the peal of church
bells which have been silent across
therland since Dunkerque.
British children, who never before
had heard a church bell ring—be-
cause their ringing would have been
the signal of invasion by the enemy
—heard not only the bells of the
great city churches and cathedrals,
but the bells in all the towns and vil-
lages from the top of Scotland to the,
tip of England ring out in celebra-
tion of the United .Nations victory
in Egypt.
It was a sedate, sober Sunday of
rejoicing and •thanksgiving during
which people crowded into the great •
churches and cathedrals and into the
smallest parish churches.
We_have since .heard...the wonder
expressed here how we would react
if our church bells suddenly ceased
to ring and would remain silent for
three years or more. Would we miss
them? Would we rejoice, as Britain
• did, when they rang out again?
There Is only, one answ-er-to that
question. We would! -But we take,
• our church bells along with uncount-
able other blessings so much as a
matter of course, that perhaps, if we
were deprived of some of them for a
• time, a spirit of thankfulness might
• be reborn in us and make us more
• appreciative.
•
• Municipal Elections
Although many' municipalities in
Huron will hold municipal elections
• the end of this month,, and the bal-
ance the first of, the year, for the
first time in two years, we have nev-
-
•- Or heard as little comment on mun-
icipal affairs' as has been heard in re-
cent weeks.
•, • We understand that a number of
township Reeves are retiring at the
end of the term and that there will
• be many .new faces when the County
Council assembles in January., That
may be true, but to date there has
been little; if any, indication of such
a change. '
In Seaforth there has not been a
hint of change, and we might say,
with good reason. Our, town council
for the past two. years has been as.
able and businesslike a borix. of leg-
. islators as this town has ever had.

As a producer of bacon, Canaria
stands, in the front rank. At the end
of last week this country had •pro-
duced the six hundred million pounds
of bacon called for under the terms
of the 1941-2 agreement with Great
Britain. •
• This week will mark the beginning
of the new 1942-3 contract for six
hundred and seventy-five million
pounds to be shipped to England.
Under present farm labor condi-
tions, it looks like a colossal task for
the Canadian farmer, but watch him

The Answer Won't Be Quite As
Easy
One day last week Police Sergeant
Reeder, of Columbus, Ohio, received
a telephone call 'from a parking lot
attendant, who said:
"A man just drove on the lot with
a horse and buggy .and wants to park
it. Is there any law against it?"
'The sergeant replied that' as far as
• he knew there wasn't. And that was
• the right answer and,an easy one.
• But there are other questions to
which the answer is not so easy. For
instance, when winter sets in—and
we really have winter with all its
trimmings in this part of the country
—quite a few people in this town, are
going to receive,telephone calls from
the country asking: "Where can I
park my horse and cutter, or where
• carr.Vpark my team and sleigh in
ythr t Own ?"
WI -tat will the answer to that one
be? To date we have no parking
• lots 'of any kind in town, so the an-
swer won't be quite as easy as it
would be if we had.
• •
Scotland's Women
• Scotland's women have come into
the limelight recently. ?So much so
that they have been the subject of
considerable discussion hi Parlia-
ment, newspaper comment and ,plat-
form, argument.
The war, of course, is at the bpt-
tom of it all. Since war began, thou-.
sand of Scotland's ,girls and women
have been transferred from their na-
tive soil to English war factories.
Now Scotland's men, in Parlia-
ment and out °fit, are, agitating new
, government factories be established -
• in Scotland and that Scottish girls,.
who are mobile workers and who
have been compuls,orily transferred
to England, should be given the op-
portunity to return to Scotland where
these new factories would provide
work for them.
One newspaper writer said: "Scot-
• land is being drained of its young
womanhood. If Scotland is to sur-
vive as a home of Scottish people, we -
cannot view without anxiety the
mass migrations of our young wo-
mem"
But the women of Scotland,, like
those of every other country, are not
in entire agreement with the men.
To them the mass migration is an ad-
venture, and a very pleasant one at
Besides to them there is another
pleasant adventure from the wo-
• men's point of view. And this is how
the same newpaper man puts it:
• "Every one knows that in the matter
of falling in love, it is the man .on the
spot who counts—and the English-
• man is a good wooer."
All in all, it places the dour Scot
at a decided disadvantage: He has
always been a better head of the
house than a wooer, and Scottish
wi1lgs. are hard to 13end.

There are more than a few people,
some not SQ very far away froin

I got a card in the mail today to
tell me that this is Farm Implement
Cheek -up Week in. Ontario. Jack Car-
roll, who is the mainaguide for the
International Plod -ring Match each
year, is boosting•this effort'along with
the help of the Department of Agri-
culture., and farm organizatimis in all
parts of the Province of Ontario.
I didn't think much about the, card
at the time, but later picked it up and
'thought about the difference the war
is making on our. lives. Time was,
not so long ago, when you pulled the
implement into the driving shed and
forgot about it until the next year.
Then for a few hurried 'days you
bustled around and telephoned the
implement agent and had him bring
out the parts you needed. That
doesn't apply any more.
Most of us got so careless that we
didn't bother to ever fix up any im-
plements. You just got a binder and
used it until such time a.s a smart im-
plement agent came along and 'sold
you a new oue.v. That has been chang-
ed also. New implements are going
to be as scarce as can be from now
on. In fact, new implements are ra-
tioned now and that will be something
to consider.
Something about the card appealed
to me. After chores I peeked into
the driving shed. Sure enough the
mower was stacked up against the
tongue of the graie drill. That will
mean that next spring the tongue will
be swaybacked and the drill will look
like a camel on a jaunt through the

was destroyed by fire. It is not knowfl
the cause of the fire; but it is sup-
posed a defective chimney was, the

Those bags are precious thingsand
should have been piled up neatly and
the torn ones patched. That harness
would be perfectly good with a little
bit of repairing.
Before this war is over there'll be
a lot of patched and repaired things
in use. War is a terrible thing, but
most farmers will agree before it's
over that it 'taught them to take bet-
ter care of a lot 'of things. I think

Chapter V
THE TIDE OF CANADIANISM
Those day S of the long rest of 1918'
witnessed a great surge of Canadian
feeling which remains memorable in
the hearts of those who wore,, the
Maple Leaf, perhaps above any other
experiences of that years. By way of
introductionto this topic, I may re-
call that most of the original mem-
bers of the lith, as of other units •of
the First Division, had been natives
of the British Isles who' were- resident
in Canada in 1914. The recruits of
1915, for the most part, had alpo ,been
born and brought up hi the United
Kingdom. Not until 1916 did the na-
tive sons of 'Canada arrive at the
front in large numbers, and from 1917
they supplied" the greater part , of the
reinforcements. The 11th Battery of
1917 had been onlyn.partly Canadian,
for the N.C.O.'S were generally Eng-
lish, Scots or Irishmen, promoted' in
that or previous years. These
O's naturally felt their identity with
their relatives of the United Kingdom
and regarded the Canadian divisions
only as units of the British army. Of-
ten they had had training in the regu-
lar army and they sought to continue
its practises; The native Canadian
with Some reserve, fell in line and ac-
cepted the prevalent views of their
position.
By mid -1918, •however, the calual-
ties of the., previous year had, produc-
ed their full effect. Sons of Canada,
or at least men brought up in Canada,
formed the majority of the rank and
file and occupied most of the non-
commissioned officerships, and the
dominant influence was now Canadian.
The slaughter of Passchendaele and
the reverses of .1Vrarch and April, 1918,
hatl destroyed the prestige of the mil-
itary system and respect for the lead-
ership and ideas of the regular offi-
cers. The way was clear for the as-
.cendency of Canadian ideas and stand-
ards,, and these did not fail to find it.
The first change was in the rela-
tionships between the N.C.O.'s and' the
rank and file. Our former N.C.O.'s,
direct or indirect products of the mg:
ular army, or at least persons famil-
iar with a well -graded society, were
often given to parading their author-
ity and trythig to put the gunner in
,his place. -Quite a few Scotsmen, Ir-
-liftmen an. even Yorkshire and Lan-
cashire men, knew better than this,
•btit they were in the ;Minority Of the
N.C.O.'s. The type was too often the
Cockney whose idea of authority was
that of the master over the servant.
But the Canadian N.C.O. instinctively
adopted a different attitilde. Ile look-

recoiled from the idea of "showing

tion, he did not set too much store
by his stripes, and in a dilemma would
resign them rather than submit to
treatment which he thought unjuat:
He managed his men and did not at-
tempt to drive there,- and thereby he
secured their co-operation. •
There ,were, of course, loafers and
born-tireds in our unit, as in others,
in' the army as in civilian life—men
who would make really extraordinary
exertions to avoid work ,of any kind.
From the trouble with these men ov-
er duty, shirked and broken promis-
es, the ex-N.C.O. often remembers
them more vividly than the others
whoaditi-their best,yet with a little
thought headmits that these individ-
uals were in a small minority, con-
d,emned by miblic opinion for their
worthlessness. Though the N.C.O.
complained that he got tittle but kicks
from officers and 'men alike, yet .in
• practise he secured the confidence of
both to. a remarkable degree. Since
I was not an N.C.°. myself, I am free
• to state my belief that the Canadian
N.C.O. of 1918 was of a distincly good
type and that in selecting the serg-
ant to represent the student in arms,
the decorators of University College
Junior Common Room did well.
There might indeed be a difference
of dpinibn betWeen the N.C.O. and a
grinner over the most effective ways
of carrying out an instruction, and in
thesa cases, a discussion followed.
with reasons. If no agreement could
be reached, it was understood that
the N.C.O. would have his way until
time should show him to be right or
•wrong, the gunner remarking in con-
clusion, "Well, George, do it, ,but
I think it's foolish." Another source
of friction was tbe useless work some-
times ordered by officers simply to
keep the men busy when out of the
lines. 'rhea honest and it dustrious
men accounted it no part of +heir du-
ty to do work whieh insulted their
intelligence, and resorted to evaalon,
dawdling or downright refusal, while
the -distressed sergeant struggled to
keep some control and wished heart-
ily for closing time. Fortunately,
these occasions were few.
There were always a few N.C.O.'s
inclined to exceSsive estimates of
their iniportance, but they had ne
