Why Not Children For Canada?
The Australian Government has
announced that as soon as possible
after the war it will bring from Eur-
ope 50,000 children, who have been
made orphans by .the war.
These unfortunate orphans will be
brought up in Australia and educat-
ed by the State and thus prepared to
live useful lives. The children will
include German, Italian, British,
Scandinavian, Dutch, Greek and
Czechs,' and there will be no racial
distinction made in the treatment of
them. '
This looks like one of the finest
humanitarian plans that could be
prepared for the post-war world, and
it surely points the finger at nations
like Canada and the United States,
which have refused to open their
gates to more than a mere handful
of the victims of the German -made
terror.
If Australia can provide a home
for 50,000 children, ' who have lost
everything, including parents' , home
artd even hope in this war, 'surely '
Canada, with its limited population
and wide open empty spaces, should,
at least, be able to provide a home
for double that number, and at the
same time, assure itself of.that many
more good citizens in the future.
It is' said, . and, with a' great -deal of
truth, that the last generation of
German' 'youth, totally educated and
trained by Hitler, will be a lost gen-
eration after the war, because it
knows nothfng but wwar, and war's
brutalities, and cares for nothing
else.
If - one State can so•n educate•and
train one generation so that it knows
nothing butwar, surely another
State can ' train and educate another
generation in the arts of peace and
ways of democracy that it will never
know ,war.
It is very apparent that unless the
richer nations, like Canada and the
United States, are prepared to come
to the rescue of these war orphans,
thousands, even millions, of .Euro-
pean- children will be hopelessly' en-
, gulfed and their lives wrecked after
the war is brought to a close in
Europe.

Page Mr. Drew
Our American cousins, across the
border, sometimes display in a mark-
ed degree an astonishing ignorance
of Canada and Canadian affairs. And
although,through our united war
efforts, they' are steadily becoming
better informed in regard to us,
some of them have still a long way
yet to go. -
Recently The Bee, a newspaper
published in Fresno, California, pub-
lished an article on the recent polio- .
cal crisis` which developed at Ottawa,
in' which, among other' things, it
stated that "The trouble, ' of course,
centres in the French-speaking Prov-
inces .:of Quebec and Ontario. These
Provinces have never been assimilat-
ed into the general current of Cana-
dian life." ..
That should afford" Mr. Drew an
ample excuse to indulge in another
all -Canadian broadcast.

However, it remains to be seen
whether this demand market will be
maintained after the war. __If it is,
agriculture will be on a sound finan-
cial footing, . ,
Where .The Kitchen Comes In
We have heard housewives ,coni -
plain about wartime restrictions,
rules and regulations, and often, they
are troublesome. It is\a tiresome,
pottery job to bundle up old 'papers,
and magazines and save old rags and
' bottles.
It is also troublesome to have to
remember to keep waste kitchen fats
and pour them into containers. And
it is much easier just to toss away
old tins and forget about them.
But it should be remembered : that
it is a lot. of . trouble to fight' a war
too. To remember that Japs and
Germans have to be disposed of, and
in order to do the job thoroughly,.
the men in all our fighting forces
are going to need more and ' ever
more war supplies.
There are a good many supply
lines that have their beginning in
every home : and in ' every kitchen,
and nearly everything that house-
wives have -' been salvaging are
needed' just as much now as they
ever were, and some of them are
needed a good deal more. The war
is notover yet.
An Old Timer
What has become of the old-timer
who used to say: "We never have
any more winters like we used to?"
Possibly the old-timers have been
completely snowed in, but there is
no question of doubt butwhat this
winter is a real old-timer.
Tuckersmith is not the only town-
ship that -is looking for a snowplow.
Three parts of the concession roads
in . every adjoining township have
been under a snow blanket since the
new year, that not even a horse could
navigate' safely.
The highways and main roads,of
course, are open, but a glance at the
weather, as this is being written;'„..,
would indicate that there is no .guar-
antee that they will be open tomor-
row or the day after. A little wind
can make a lot of trouble in a re-
markably short time. Consequently
whatis open today, is blocked to-
morrow.
There would also appear to be
some truth this year in the old say-
ing: "As the days grow longer, the
cold grows stronger.”
•
The Jeep -
In Great Britain the famous army •
jeep has been adopted for railway
work. Equipped with flanged wheels,
the, jeep is capable of fast travel
without the risk of turning over
-when approaching switches ` and
sharp curves in the track.
Big peacetime roles for the bound-
ing jeep ,are also being tested in the
United States by agricultural experi-
ment stations to see if they are cap-
able of farm and rural operations.
The great power in these small-.
vehicles has already suggested many
peacetime , ppssibilities, They can, it
is said, substitute for the horse, act
as power units, play tractor and light
truck.
It has also been .found that clever
mechanical transformations of these
jeeps can result in seeders, harves-
ters, reapers, cultivators, balers and
feed grinders,::..
What an amazing help these little
machines will be to our Ontario
farmers—if, as, and when they get
them.

Patricia Ann having just passed her
fifth birthday has progressed from the
elementary toys such as biopics to the
more or less difficult stage. She has
quite a supply of delis•and accessor-
ies and a weird..collection of toy musi-
cal instruments. She added a- xylo-
phone to this.. It's a combination of
'pasteboard and Vass with tiny. ham-
mers to hit the glass tubes with.
Her relatives realizing that ,snext
fall she will be going off to school
provided her this Christmas with
books in what seems to be almost
endless supply. There are books of
almost all descriptions. One.. large
book contains all the standard fairy
tales such as "Seven At One Swat"
and the various contributions by
. sop and the Grimm Brothers..I must
confess to a certain enjoyment in
reading 'them ;over. -The books which
have provided perhaps the most en-,
joyment, however, has been a couple
filled with the adventures of a fabu-
lous person called Uncle Wjggily.
Books were not very plentiful in
my" boyhood but I always remember,.
a Christmas many years ago. Father
had purchased quite a large supply of
goods at Tim Murphy's store. In
those days there was quite a fad to
buy from the mail order houses, but
father was always opposed• to this.
Tim, evidently trying to show his ap-
proval, handed me" a book as a Christ-
mas present. .It was filled with the
adventures of this sante Uncle Wig-
gly. •

find his fortune. I have never en-
joyed'• anything as ',much as 'following
the old gentleman rabbit. The book
was read and reread. Uncle ` Wiggily
became a living; breathing reality 'to
me. I watched at night' with inter-
est at night as the rabbits came
dashing through the orchard on ,fros-
ty, moonlight 'nights.
My main object was to find a rab-
bit wearing a checked, coat and a
natty hat . and as I remember he also
wore bright pants and spats. He was
carrying a crutch and handbag. In
the summertime I watched the hay-
field as the mower cut through the
waving.' hay. Plenty of rabbits duck-
ed out and went hippity-hopping down
the laneway towards the bush. I nev-
er saw Uncle Wiggily, but deep down
inside I was certain that he was
around somewhere.
