-there must have been, and We would
say, continue to be some quiet but
very efficient organization and co-
operation among our farmers, to
accomplish what has already been
accomplislisd, M 'the harvest fields.
Of course the harvest is not over,
but more than a good beginning has
been made. And, of course too, there
is the weather ahead, but given even
average harvest conditions• in Hur-
on, the crops will be large. And
what is of even greater importance
to the farmer, he is assured a ready
market and good prices for every-
thing he harvests this year.
The End,Of A Long Wait
The end of a long wait for Cana-
dian troops came on Saturday last
,when with British and American
traops, they struck into Sicily. For
• nearly four years, five divisions of "
our troops have been training-. and
building up for a chance at the Ger-
mans. And. now the time has come.
With what force the Canadians
struck, or when or how they left
England,- or even who is command-
ing them, is at present unknown, and
there is little likelihood of any such
information beinggiven out at pres-
• ent, or even for some time to come.
Such information that has. been
made available, however, shows that
the Canadian troops were used to
spearhead the attack; that •they
reached their objectives in every
• case, and that the casualties; consid=
ering the extent and range of the of-
fensive, ha.ve been extremely light.
Both English and American sourc-
• es have been extremely compliment -
Ary of the Canadians in action. They
are quoted as magnificently trained,
magnificently equipped and brilliant-
ly ledL and their equipment, like
• themselves, are products of Canada.
The Allied landing and successes
at Sicily are claimed to be spectacu-
lar and as being the beginning of the
end for the Axis power, but at the
Balm time it is only wise to remem-
ber that a long, long road marked by
bitter battling and heavy casualties
lies ahead.
.Even the complete conquest of the
big island of Sicily, which is right off
the toe of the Italian book AIM -that --
yet remains to be accomplished, will
•only be a step down the long, long
road. •
There are several important rea-
-
sons why Sicily is considered so
strategically important to the Allied
• cause. It providessome twenty air-
• fields from which bombing raids
• might be launched on all of Italy and
.force that country out of the war.
• It could be a base for land opera-
tions against the Italian peninsula.
It could be the stepping off place
for • a pinchers movement against
the Greece: peninsula from the Mid-
dle East.
• It is part of a group of islands, in-
cluding Sardinia, which could be us-
ed as stepping stones to • Southern
t France, and the control of Sicily
would provide control of shipping in
the Mediterranean Sea.
The opening blow in this campaign
has been struck and however long or
however hard the road may be, there
is little likelihood of the Allies lessen-
ing for an instant the pressure.
In the meantimg Canadians at
home will just have—to wait with
what patience they can summon, for
.any definite word of their boys over-
t3eas, as not even the names of the
casualties will be released for some
tine.

One Consolation
Mr. Hugh Dalton, President of the
• Board of Trade, announced last
week that the people of Britain will
get a maximum of 48 clothing cou-
pons and a minimum of 36, for the
next twelVa months rationing period,
commencing August 1st next.
Some idea of what the British
male will be able to purchase in the
way of, cipthing for next year is
shown wheli a man's three-piece suit
in Britain today requires an expen-
diture of 26 coupons. - At the best,
that will leave him just 22 coupons
with which to provide himself with
shirts, hats, sox, boots, etc. And
that for a whole year.
The Britisher, however, has one
consolation. Mr. Dalton said that
today the price of • clothing over
there is only 70 per cent. over pre-
war figures, and it is definitely fall-
• ing all ,the time.
Compared with conditions in the
last war, that ,is really something,
• because on NoVember 11, 1918, cloth-
ing prices in Britain were 260 per
cent aver the 1914 figures.
However, when' it comes to a
choice of either wearing what you
have, or going without, the price',
really does not figure so much.
•
Comforting Note
Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of the
Interior in the United States Gov-
ernment, lent a comforting note to
the seemingly hard pressed Ameri-
can taxpayer, in a magazine article
released to the public last week.
Mr. Ickes says that the nation's
physical assets amounted to $89,0.00
fog each than, woman and child in
the United States.
These assets total 42,023,000,000,-
000 —1 twelve trillion, twenty-three
billion dollars—and the minister add-
ed, the total national--cle-bt amounted -
to only 1.17 per cent. of that sum.
"The $12,023,000,000,000 is what
we ought to get," Mr. Ickes said,
-"for our country, _raw, at a forced
sale." And he added:
"This is my answer to the poor
mouths who are complaining that
the war is going to bust us, and that
we shall leave our children penni-
less, with nothing but an overdraft
that cannot be honored, and a head-
ache to show for the long and one-
sided battle with the wolf that has
been going on ever since the landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers."
We have no idea of what the raw
assets of Canada would be for each
man, woman or child in this country,
never having heard of them being
compiled, but we' can say without
any hesitation that right now if they
approach the Americans, that we
would sell out for $9,000 and let the
other $80,000 slide. And we have an
idea that there are quite a few
Americans who would figure it out
the same way when tax time comes
round. •

Mr. Howe's Proud Story
• (From the Ottawa; Journal)
He would be a poor Canadian who would not
be proud Of the things which Minister of Muni-
tions Howe told, Parliameni on Tuesday. Be-
cause his story, one of fine achievement in. War
production, belongs to all of us: to Canadian
gelente, and skill; to the drive and energy of
Canadian martagemen,t; to the devotion, of Cana-
•ditel workers; to' the patrititism of all ottr citi-
zens who backed ,the progranniee.with their del -
beg. Finally, it belongs to our heritage of free-
dcifti; to that onee derided demociatie way whieh
'has proved itself tengher and better than the
boasted "efficieney" of the totalitarian creed.

It's funny the war people look at
the same thing and see such differ-
ent things. I guess it all goes .baok
to that old saying about the fellow
who looked out of the jail Window
and saw stars and the other fellow
lopked out and saw the mud. We're
all the same way . . . whether we're
happy or not . . . whether we have
trouble or no troubles . . . all these
are what influence us when we look
at the same things.
Mrs. Pbil and I went, for a ride on
one of those passenger boats. ehe hist
time we went to the lake. Of course
she doesn't like boats, but it had been
such a warm day that she was game
for anything that would get us away
from the infernal heat. It was just
dusk and about all you could see of
the' sun was a reflectton above the
water. The lights came twinkling on
all over the town. It looked as ,if
somebody. 'had 'scattered an enormous
handful of stars all over the hillside
in very orderly fashion. There were
rows of the same kind of stars prop-
ped up along the docks that ran away
out into the lake.
The breeze came leaping up over
the prow of the stow, old boat like
chilly gremlins out for a frolic. Ev-
eryone stood with their faces td the
coolness sort of feeling _the heat of
the day dissipate from themselves.
Little boat a were scooting around the
water like illuminated water -bugs and
a big freighter stood aloof and lone-
some like at the -docks. You could
almost imagine that the big boat was
wishing it Could shed its bulk and
get in on the frolic.
Fpm somewhere up behind the
town searchlights started combing
the sky with long silvery .fingers. An
airplane dartede back axid forth, as
elusive as a moth meal finally the
stabbing ,fingers located it and trac-
ed its. outline against the night sky.
Darkness had comp on, accentuating
the beauty of the cool, calm night,
I. heard two young lovers' thieper-
ing and unashamedly alstened.• They
were vowing. to never !wet the
scpne. 1 believed them. • An old .cou-
ple wrapped 'in a steamer •blariet;
were sitting there quietly and finally
she said:, "Remember that night at
Niagara FalLs?" 11s hand groped
for hers and he said, "It was just like
•
A heavy -set man stood. shivering on
the deck and said, "Let's go below
where it's warm. This darned Cold
gets me down." A crabbed voice as-
sailed the little sailor with the query,
"Can't we go any faker than this?"
A man stumbled in the half darkness
and complained bitterly about the
lack of lights.
This was nature at her best. Dark-
ness blotted Out the sdualor of the
waterfront and threw a ,shroud l of
velvet over it all. Then to make the
scene complete she studded the
'hroud' with twinkling diamonds and
man added lightsthat were intended
to be Practical but which fitted into
the scene in a perfect way. From
somewhere up the harbor a little
,boat hooted derisively at the big one
and the steady lapping of the waves
against our boat and the swishing of
the Wake seemed to' blend with the
chug -chug of the boat's engines. •
It was a perfect night, but we
didn't all see it the same Way!

She has an^ excellent circle of pleas-
