"Aren't you the boy who has no use for. books? Oh, I see. You mean "Kim and Swiss Family Robinson". ,L thought you had finished with them long ago." "I read them two or three times a year," stated Nels, matter-of-fact- ly. "They're the best books that ever were written."

Berniere on the coast of Normandy and fought their way through Hitler's West Wall de- fences to establish the beach head over which poured the men and supplies to fight and win the bat- tles of Normandy. The photos, above, taken by Canadian Army photographers on the fateful day, re- call some of the torrid action which took place on the beaches. (1) A long line of German prisoners march over the beaches on their way to interment, (2) Major General Rod Keller, commander ofee Third Division, briefs some of his men on his arrival in France. (3) Sarrage balloons float over Ulf beaches as Engineers prepare roads for men and equipment. (4) Canadian tanks roar ashore from the. sea. (5 and 6) Infantrymen wade ashore from the assault craft.

"I wish we could take -a trip like Kim and the Lama. I could be your disciple and we'd walk over strange roads and see strange treed and practice bird calls and sleep on the ground, and look up at the sars and name them, and watch Orion march across the s , a d go to sleep with the frogs\ in our ears." A lump rose in Colin's which he cleared away cough and a joke• "And waken in the mornin: as stiff as a board with a devi of a dose of tonsolitis. Would •„ real- ly like to take a little wa king trip, Nets, after we get the trees set out? It could perhaps be arrang- ed, but," plaintively. "do I have to carry a begging bowl and wear a rosary and a tam o'shanter and about thirty yards of blankets? I'd be keeling over before I had gone five miles, and if your mother heard of it, after her leaving you in my ,care and all—well, she'd have me in an old man's home before the month was out." Nels' dark face \vas lit with an inward fire. "We'll just wear our ordinary clothes," the said. eagerly. "And I wouldn't want to go in my bare feet either, like Kim, not in Can- ada in April. But what will we be looking for, Granddad? Kim and the Lama w ere hunting for the river where Buddha's arrow fell." ".I see what you mean," Colin al- lowed thoughtfully. "To do it right we should have an object in view. Let me see. How would you like to hunt pp the source of our little creek here? You know, it is just a tributary of the Little Beaver river that runs through Brig End Mills.. Dane MenzieisC that trapper from Brig End—" Nets scowled. He hated traps �EEIIININN111N1NININNNIiIhINEINIIIIININN SI THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE A large city in the States recently carried out a big Teen Age "'roundup". Nearly 1,000 adolescents were arrest- ed by the police. They were found in pool rooms, all-night restaurants, tap -rooms and on street corners. For some weeks these juvenile; had 'terrorized the city, using guns, knives, switchblades and other aggres- sive weapoLs. In Lindsay, On- tario, last November, there was held in the Armouries one Sat- urday night, a "roundup" of 500 young people. This roundup, a district affair, some coming from as far away as Oshawa and Peterboro, was a voluntary rally of youth invited to a un- ique nique Temperance Conclave- by a local committee. It was spon- sored by the Clergy and Lay- men of the Protestant Church- es. They were interested in do- ing something constructive to defeat juvenile delinquency. The young people were great- ly impressed with this new type of temperance meeting. Three other centres have held similar Conclaves. Last year more than 1,350 youth In On- tario met thus under the aus- pices of the churches and Y.P. organizations. The On- tario Temperance Federation, whence the idea originated, has many requests from differ- ent centres to launch the pro- ject in their area. We in Hur- on County have taken steps to Stage a Conclave here in the near future.—(Adet,).

When he was eight years old he had round a baby rabbit dying in one- -"told me that it starts from a spring away back in :iIort•is Coun- ty, about thirty miles from here. I've often thought I would like to follow it to its source. but never got around to it." Nels crowed with delight. "The very thing. Just like the book, If there was just a bit of spying or detective work I could do for some.bodeson the side. every- thing would be •perfect." Colin looted at him reflectively. "We could maybe hunt out and set off any traps we came to in our travels." The grin on Nels' face widened until it seemed to cut it in half. "Ands 1'11 take my camera and some rolls of film and we might get some good bird or animal pic- tures. I haven't sent "Highways andByways" any pictures for so long they must think I'm dead. I used to send them enough to pay my camera, expenses and a nice bit over. If I had had to, I could probably have nt.nde myself a nice living doing wild life with a cam- era. But there." Colin sighed, "I never had to and I suppose I'm too old now. The curse of the age, Nets, is enough money. Too much is worse, of course, but enough is very bad. No one will ever know the wonderful things that have been lost to the world because of enough money. Security! Secur- ity! The whole talk now is of se- curity. There's mighty few people in the hall of fame who had secur- ity all their lives. Energy and se- curity don't go together. Security makes dilettantes, putterers, the kind who spend a lifetime writing a book or painting a picture or composing a song. The Stephen Fosters and the Jack Londons and the Rosa Bonheurs hadn't much se- curity, and they turned out first- class stuff by the yard, by the mile, by the ton." . Colin paused and looked at Nels with a twinkle. "I don't think muoh of you as a disciple. You haven't been listen- ing to a word I've said." "Yes, t have," Neta defended him - Self. "Yea, I have. But I was thinking of the -things we should take, Granddad. The things we simply can't get along without. Firat, we'll have to have sleeping bags. Have you still got those bags?" at They're in the attic somewhere. 1'11 find them." "Then there's your camera and the films and a frying pan, and a tin to make tea for you, and some fishing line and hooks, and—we don't need a gun, do we?" "No gun! What true Lama would be seen carrying a gun? And as for his disciple having one, it would brand him as a fraud im- mediately. Do you want us to take any money?. The Lama had a spot of money concealed among his pet- ticoats, if you remember" Nels considered this. "It might come in handy. But let's make it a rule to only use it if we are stuck." "Suits me. I think it would be mote fun to do a few odd jobs for our meals and for a chance to sleep in the hay mow or in front of the horses." "Okay' And I could clean out some stables and put down hay, and you could maybe split a little wood. You sure are a handy guy with an axe, Granddad. You can hit the same spot every time." Colin looked gratified. "Practice, my boy, practice. I spent a couple of winters in the Michigan lumber woods and that's where you learn; among a crowd of fellows where the poor beggar who can't hold up his end might just as well be dead." "1 wouldn't want to have to do too much work for my meals," said ?els. "You know, enough's en- ough." "I know exactly what you mean. If we had to work all day for our meals, we might , as well stay at home."

Madc of reflective aluminum foil, this outfit gives the hook-and-ladder lads a lot more protection from extreme heat. Canadian farmers have the same idea when they build their barns of aluminum sheet. Not only is aluminum fire-resistant but it also keeps barns cooler in summer because it reflects the heat of the sun; and in winter reflects back into the barn heat that would otherwise escape. in fact you might say that in the products of Canada's aluminum industry are reflected countless aids to better living — on the farm, in the city, in your own home.
