T. Huckstep who was an excellent manip- ulator of the cornet and a good Band leader, , During the winter months the band would be recruited, Practice would take place during the lata winter and early spring and on some fine summer evenings an open air concert would be given for the enjoyment of the citizens of the Village and surround- ing country, At this time the population of Blyth would bo about eleven 'hundred and halt of the towns people would be at Int BLYTH, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1941. •0444 �: , . m. •- -- �• DRAW THIS WEEK TO BE ON FRIDAY NIGHT. • Biggest Prizes Offered So Far , Saturday Will Be Observed As Holiday 'I.O.O.F.

"WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE WAR" Wherever pevpie go today, in this country of ours and in many others the opening for conversation has be- come not "Well, is it• going to rain tomorrow" but "WHO IS GOING TO WIN THE WAR?" Is the importance of this question which is often so read sly asked and which is meant more to serve as a conversation opener than to obtain information. fully felt? Is it realized that now all men ot this earth must choose between one side or the other and that no Canad— ian will be able to avoid the penalty of economic and physical slavery which will be imposed upon us if we lose? Are there still people in this country who assume that this war can be won by letting the other r• -n do it? Do we fully realize the horribiness of modern war, the horrors of being "blitzed" and the many forms of tor- ture which the people tine Germans have conquered are end.^.iring? We Canadians are very fortunate in:leed that we live in a good country and it is comparatably easy to earn a comfortable living, but will it re- main so? Unquestionably we are a great country and have the ability to over- come the Gelman ideas and Nazi plans which are attempting to obtain control of this country and of the world. How- ever unless we snake the tremendous effort so very necessary the Germans can and will conquer us. "\Vi -HO IS GOING TO WIN THE WAR?" We can and must, but only if we are willing to make sacrifices to- day will we be able to look forward to tomorrow with confidence and hope and tine inner knowledge that we, the present citizens of ibis great country of ours and those who follow after us will be dictated to by only ourselves. Total war means, total war every- where verywhere and one element necessary in order • to wage war totally is money. \Ve are shortly to be asked; to lend our money to our Government and it is up to each individaual one of us to respond to our fullest extent. The organization necessary for the successful execution of this loan is being set up at the present time in Huron County and the Chairmen for tine different Townships and Towns are as follows: \Vest \Vawanosh Mr. Thomas Web- ster. 11.11.

Each of t'he above Chairmen will be responsible for his territory and It will be his responsibility to obtain as large a total of subscriptions as pos- sible. The major objective in the forth- coming Victory Loan will be to sure as large an army of small subscribers as possible. • With this end in view the Victory Loan Campaign will be a house to house canvass and an official perspec- tns and a letter from t'he Minister of Finance will be mailed to every home in the Country. Every householder will also receive an illustrated booklet describing, Can- adians at war and in addition the banks anti( 'Trust Companies are co- operating to their fun'-gtextent by sending letters to all of their deposit- ors urging them to buy Victory Loan Bonds. Most recent figures show that the savings accounts in banks at the pres- ent time are tremendous one this loan should be an overwhelming suc- cess. •It is understood that the bonds will be issued in $50.00 and $100.00 do - nominations as well as the larger de- nominations and they may be paid for over a period of from 3 to 6 months.

Adapted from the Metro -Goldwyn -Mayer Picture by Lebbeus Mitchell Copyright 1940 by Loew's Inc. SYNOPSIS Mary Thomas, eldest of the three daughters of Mr. and Mrs, Harry C. Thomas, typical small city Am- ericans, is wooed by Ted Foster and Jim Reynolds, both salesmen in Hellman's Auto Agency. Mr. Thomas favors Ted and manages to get Jim away when both suitors call when the parents know Mary Is expecting a proposal. Ted pro- poses and is accepted. But when the streamlined redhead, Anastas• la Atherton, a former heart-throb, returns from New York, trouble threatens for she sells her auto to Ted on time payments and Ted tells Mary he bought it at a bar- gain from some old geezer. Mary had just told him she never want- ed to hear anything about Anas- tasia for the present or the future. So Ted and Mary are married. * * $ CHAPTER FOUR Back from their honeymoon, Ted and Mary had been established for nearly two months in their own cozy little house. Mary, In a negligee, was in tite kitchen pour- ing coffee, when Ted entered in dressing gown, bearing a pair of d ra wers. "There's no buttons on these drawers, Mary." "I thought the laundry took care of that." "They take the buttons oft, You have to sew 'em on." "Right away, dear. Coffee and toast's all ready." While Ted ate and glanced at the newspaper, Mary began sewing on the missing buttons. The tele- phone rang and Ted jumped up. The call came from Editor Mc- Clinchey; he had just learned that the city of Thoruride might get a part of that eleven million d0113rs for defense and asked Ted to call right away. "I'll be there in five minutes. Thanks, Mr. Mcelinchey. Quick, Mary, gimme the drawers?" Call From Mr. McClinchey He grabbed Ihu drawer, and hur- ried into the bedroom. As he start - ted to get into the shorts, be found that Mary- had sewn the front to the back. Ife ripped them apart, looked on the dresser for some- thing with which to fasten thein, and grabbed a brooch with a clus- ter of grapes on 1t, He had got Into his trousers as Mary entered. "Button sewed on all right, Ted?" "Great! Say, honey, there's a basketball gime tonight. I know you don't like It as well as i do, but WP can hold hands." "We could hold hands at the band concert. -- and Evelyn says they're going to play the Bolero." ISSUE 21—'41 C L. POSTUM ,,. "Who am I to argue with Eve- lyn? Bolero, here we conte." "I'm married to you, not Evelyn," said Mary happily, "so we'll go to the basketball game." "Bolero!" said Ted affectionate- ly. "Basketball gauze!" retorted Mary with a happy grin. Ted kissed her. "I'll show you w11o'3 boss In this family! Gee, I told McClinchey I'd be there In five minutes! Got to run! Good- bye, honey." "Dinner at 6.30 sharp so we can get good seats," she called as alto wenn to the door to see hint off. The postman was just coming up the walk. There was a letter for Ted marked "Personal." Mary turn- ed it over, saw It was from •Anal• tasia Atherton, Her face was very thoughtful as she reentered the house . Ted was quite cocky as he hur- ried into the Hellman agency after his talk with the editor of the Chronicle. "Now, Mr. Hellman, who around here is going to get any part of that eleven billion dollars?" "Nobody! There isn't a navy machine shop In town." "But Belleville's in the county and in our territory," Ted was saying eagerly when Mr. Ilellman's secretary, Miss Miller, Interrupted with the pews that his wife was on the 'phone. "She says 'one of the wedding Presents is missing — a brooch with a cluster of grapes dangling from It. She %'ants to know if you put it anywhere." Possibilities For Belleville involuntarily, Ted felt. of his waistline, "Tell her not to worry, I've got it here and will bring it home tonight. Now, Mr. Hellman, Belleville's our spot! The Com- monwealth Metal Corporation is buying the old electric toaster fac- tory there. They're going to reopen It immediately and make bomb fuses for the Government. Mr. Mc- Clinchey just got word of it this morning." Instantly alert, Mr. Hellman was caught with 'Z'ed's enthusiasm. "You bet that's going to mean busi- ness for us!" "Three or four hundred skilled laborers coming into our territory. First, they'll want domes and sec- ond—" "Our Standard Coronet," said .ler. Hellman. "Now do you see the possibilities in Belleville?" "We'll run up some sort of an emergency showroom, Ted, right, across from the factory, and 1'li put you In charge. We eau fill their orders within ten days," "So can every other agency in town! The outfit that can say, 'You want a red one, Mister? Here's the key. Drive It away' is going to get the business. A big stock of cars on hand is the only answer. Wire the factory now to rush forty' cars, different models, different coolrs, to 'Thoruride right away." Mr. Helllnan's eyebrows went tip. "Forty cars? Well, maybe it isn't a crazy idea. Ted, but I don't think wire the factory until the Bel- leville deal has been signed, sealed and delivered." Ted quickly recovered from that little blow to his hopes. "Their i'll start to check up on that right flow!" As he came out of the private office, Evelyn 'Phomas was waiting by the Secretary. "Ask hitn!" said Miss Miller as 'Ped appeared. „Brooch?" What brooch?" said Ted. "Oil, the grape brooch! 1 haven't seen that for a week! See you later!" He took a long stride, felt some- thing give way, tlu'n a cold object sliding down Inside, hls trouser leg, clattering on the floor. "Where on earth (11(1 that come from?" cried the secretary. "Through ... through a (sole in my pocket," said Ted guiltily. , "Yon were probably using it bo hold up your drawers," said Plvelyi wickedly, "Sometimes, Miss Mill- er, my fattier hoe to ttse adhesiva jape!" A Trip Out of Town Ted flushed and wilted, but but- topless shorts couldn't interfere with the business on hand. He strode to the 'phone and dialed Ilia home, giving a hitch to his trot's - era. "hello, hooey. I've got to take a little trill out e.t t,owe, I can't 24. plain Isere. It's •business. If I'n1 not horns by 6.30 you have'.your diu- ner and meet me at lite box-office at 8,15 so we can get good seats. Goodbye, dear, I've got to run!" Mary waited at the high schodl gymnasium door for Ted until shortly after nine o'clock, the shouts of the basketball enthusi- asts adding fuel to her mounting auger. After leaving waited an hour, she returned grimly home. She had chosen the basketball game to please Ted and he had appointed 8.15 as their sleeting time, and then had "stood hor up." Her furious steps halted by the table on which lay the letter to Ted from Anastasia, She picked it up, smelled it with dictate, put it down and walked away. But she was drawn back • to the letter like a drunkard to a bottle, picked it up again, slipped her finger -nail under the flap, "Dear Teddy," she read: "I think I left my compact in the car. May- 'be ay'be it slipped down behind the seat. Will you look for it, darling? Thanks, loads! Anastasia." In a fury of anger mingled with bitter jealousy, Mary struggled against tears. But her emotions conquered and she groped, choking with sobs, for a chair,. . At The Band Concert Ted, waiting at the City Hall entrance, gave a last look at the jewelry store clock, It was 9.50. The box office had shat down, and the band concert had long been in progress. Ho decided to go home. "Mary!" he called, a' clutch at his heart, as he entered the house, There was no answer, He went into the bed room. At his sigh of relief at seeing Mary in bed, apparently asleep, site pretended to awake. "Thank goodness you are all right, Mary! I was worried! What hap- pened? Where were you?" "Where was I? That's funny! Where were you?" Ted was taken aback. "I was at the band concert at 8.15." "Why band concert? I agreed to go to the basketball game to please you." "No, dear. You .persuaded me to go to the band concert," "I persuaded you?" Mary's voice Was growing shrill, "Ted Foster yon practically threatened me!" "But I distinctly remember say- ing -- " and at the recollection a grin replaced Ted's wide-eyed confusion — "that I'd show you who was boss around here." • Mary cut ill sharply: "So, after a crack like that, I had to go to the basketball game! Besides, how do 1 know .you went to the band concert?" ".Maybe I didn't!" sald Ted, his head wagging. "Maybe 'I went to the basketball game! You've got me so confused I don't know where I went!" "That's right! Call toe a liar!" "I didn't call you 0 liar! I didn't call you anything! I , .." "You implied I wasn't at the bas• kethall game because you were there and didn't see me!" "I guess we're both crazy!." said Ted in despair. With Anastasia "Now l'111 crazy, am 1?" "Mary," lie appealed, his aii er vanishing. "Mary , , ." "Ted, please . , . "At his melting, she groped humbly for him. "I didn't,mean anything I said! What are we saying to each other? We woe getting close to a crisis." "No, we weren't, holey,' he soothed hor. "We were, for, a minute, ,apart, separated—and all over a basket- ball game." The ',phone rang, Mary answered. It was Harriet, She said: "I sneak- ed downstairs to do Evelyn a favor. I heard her telling Motu and Pop about seeing Ted and Anas- tasia at the band concert, She said of course she couldn't tell you, but she'd feel better it you knew about it."

SEWING FOR WAR RELIEF By Anne Adapts The recent day I spent visiting the headquarters cf the various organizations interested in war - relief sewing was heart-warming. hrom groups of women, from in- dividuals, a constant stream of warns, colorful clothes is pouring in. Everywhere women are turn- ing left -over lengths of material and the most useless -looking scraps into gay and useful articles for shipment overseas, Some Practical Hints Children's garments, I was told, should be of the self-service kind so that they can be put on with- out adult assistance, Dresses for girls are urgently needed, and so are night clothes and underwear, especially slips and bloomers of outing flannel. (These latter, due to the colder climate, are worn all summer long.) Little boys of all, ages treed wool shorts, and mannish little jackets and sleeveless vests that are snug and warns. housedresses with long sleeves are in demand for women, as are undergarments and nightwear. Long sleeves are requested on children's garments also, as are deep hems to make adjustments easy. Buttons should be sewed on firmly, and scraps of material for mending purposes are thoughtful things to include. Finished garments, whether one or a whole builille, will be wart ply welcomed at fhe local branches Of the various Or apizations in- terested ill war reef work, such as bbe Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and similar organizations. You may deliver them in person, or mail then in, knowing that everything will be' thankfully re- ceived and sent off on the first possible boat, Clothes for civilian relief may he made in any size or color or material, although the sturdier the fabric, and the brighter the color, the better. I'or readers who wish to do their bit, the Anne Adams patterns sketched are of- fered as suggestions of practical styles in needed garments.

Canada exports between 60,000 and 70,000 hundredweight of bones a year yet there are glue factories which cannot obtain enough raw materials - bones - to operate on a full-time basis, the report said. A net loss of foreign exchange in transactions of exporting bones and importing bone products has been the result. 1. How should a man at ' a dance introduce his partner to an- other couple? 2.

Wood -burning Brooder Stoves • A friend of Charles M. Schwab, who occupied the estate adjoining the steel magnate's, one afternoon approached the latter and tried to sell him a cow. "I've got a cow I want to sell you Charlie,' he said, "Yes? Would she fit into my Guernsey herd?" "No, I dunno as she would." ."Has she got anything to re- commend her?" "Well, I dunno as she has." "Does she give lots of milk?" "No. I can't say as she gives lots of milk, but Charlie, Ican tell you this: She's a kind, gentle, good-natured old cow, and if she's got any milk she'll give it to you." Grandad says he'd give soTething to know what Mrs. Mussolini said to Mr. Musso- lini when she heard Haile Selassie had got his kingdom back. They've Been Proved Much Cheaper to Operate, Just As Efficient as Other Types keeping the fire going during the night, It was also noted that the wood burning stove would respond almost immediately to draft ad- valuable�to towards the made lt end oftally the brooding season, The test indicated that the wood - burning brooder stove to compari- son with the coal•burner was equal- ly shitnle of operation, fully as efficient and was operated with al- most one third the fuel cost, Just what is the best type of brooding equipment for outlying districts bas always been an open question. Electricity is not avail- able, oil is too expensive, bard coal is difficult to obtain and ex- pensive to use, At the Dominion Experimental Station at Normandin, Que., wood burning brooder stoves have been tried out with satisfaction and a comparison made with coal burn- ing brooder stoves on the basis of fuel prices ruling in that section. The fuels used were chestnut size anthracite coal valued at $20.00 per ton and Birch wood costing $6,00 per standard cord, ' says George Hodgson, Poultry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa. ONE-TIHIRD THE COST Under the conditions and equip - meta used in the experiment there was found to be a wide margin of spread in the conliaratiwe cost of using these two fliers. The trial waft conducted over a period of approximately 67 days, from April 8 to June 15, inclusive. The coal was used in a regulation coal burning brooder stove having a 600 chick capacity. The wood was us- ed In a common type of wood - burning brooder stove also supply- ing heat to a 600 chick capacity brooder, Both stoves were found to be very satisfactory for brood - Ing purposes and the labour in- volved in their operationRas judg- ed to be about the same. No dif- ficulty was experienced in matu- taining the desired uniform tem- peratures in either ease, Atter a little practice in firing the wood stove no rouble was reported in Future Wars Check Sought Canadian Psychiatrist Urges Organization to Prevent Re- current Battles An orhanlrallon to be started now to prevent future wars was proposed to he American Psyc'hta• tyle Association in convention at Richmond, Va., by v ng president, Dr. George 1I, Steven• son of Toronto.

Based on the consumption of cutworms alone it is estimated that one toad will consume in a single season, more cutworms than could be killed with twenty dollars' worth of poison. House pets generally play havoc with the garden and should be kept out of it. Gardeners who do not own dogs are often both- ered with the unleashed pets of others. Fortunately they can be kept away. Dogs detest the odor of nicotine and will not come near it. Spraying the lower branches of treea and shrubs as well as plants near entrance walks with a diluted solution of nicotine will have the desired effect. In spite of its ugliness, the toad is the gardener's ally. Once es- tablished in a garden, it makes no demands, and unknown to the gardener it will perform a service which is hard to measure in dol- lars and cents. It just digs in 'under a large rock or finds a shady retreat under a board rest- ing in some cool part of the gar- den. It works during the plant growing season and hibernates somewhere out of reach of cold at the beginning of fall to return again when the bluebirds and robins= make their appearance.

This is a war for existence. It is war to the death. It is a war to win or to lose. There can be no'half way—no compromise. It is a war to WIN. Money is the fourth arm of the service. Whatever you are called on to pay or to lend, it is little compared to the lives that our sons offer. There have been many and heavy calls upon Canada already. There ivill be more. Let us face the truth and the truth will make us free. It is freedom we are fighting for, British freedom, the freedom of body and spirit that makes life worth living. If we fail, we fall. Be prepared for sacrifice. Great Britain has set us an example on a scale of heroic magnificence history doesn't record. Let us FIGHT! Canada has the resources. Let us spare nothing. When our soldiers offer their lives, let us be willing to share our livelihood. Presently the Government of Canada will call for money. The money is here. We are spending billions. We are already heavily taxed. But most of these billions and those taxes arc being spent in Canada. That money comes hack to you. Keep it rolling. 1 Keep putting it back into the war effort, so that it may be spent again and again and again until Right prevails and the world is free.

Toner Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (No. 42) THE BULLFROG Ontario has a number of kinds of frogs in its swamps and marsh- es; of these, the most important economically is the large bullfrog. I am sure everyone has heard its deep call note but I Ann also sure that few people know anything of its life history or habits. The other frogs found in Ontario may leave the water or will often be found in small ponds but the big bullfrog is restricted to lakes, permanent streams and rivers, The breeding season of the bullfrog is in early summer, usu- ally late June or early July. The tadpoles break from the eggs withjn several days and are quite li;mall when first hatched. The very young tadpoles are black in colour but as they grow they be- come mottled with brown on the back and vary from yellow to cream underneath, From July till the waters chill is not a long period so the young bullfrogs do not transform the first year, they hibernate as tadpoles. Along in August of their second summer they become adult frogs. 'their Food, Enemies Bullfrogs feed on almost any- thing they can swallow. They j,Otve been known to take birds, fish and mammals. Other smal- ler frogs are a regular part of their diet, even their brothers and sisters, if they can be caught. Crayfish, insects and various other animals of the water make up the bulk of their food. The ta,inoles feed ea Ioa:tation H d Such small life as oar 71 they aril catch. Bullfrogs have many enemies. When they are still in the tad- pole stage they are taken by fish, frogs, snakes and birds. After transformation their enemies have a harder time to catch them for they can escape to either land or water. The most important en- emy of the bullfrog is man who takes them in many thousands of pounds each year for the market. These frogs have become quite scarce in many places and at the present time the Game and Fish- ery Laws protect them during June and July. During these months they must not be taken anywhere in the Province. 103, He Has 375 Living Descendants Hubert Leclerc, of St. Hubert de Spaulding, Quebec, who has more than 375 living children, .grandchildren and great grand- children, last month celebrated his 102nd birthday anniversary in the Frontenac County town near the Maine border.

London Horses Must Have Ration Cards Horse:, mules and donkeys now need ration cards before they can put on the feed bag, according to a regulation of the British Ministry of Food. Owners of ur- ban horses must produce the cou- pons when purchasing feed such as oats, beans or bran.

Similarly, registration is not necessary for animals used in mining, for army horses or racing and hunting steeds, The Book Shelf.. "IN THIS OUR LIFE" By Ellen Glasgow Here is a novel of modern tines, ending a few days before the outbreak of war in Europe. The scene is a southern city in the United States. The members of the Timberlake family—father, mother, and the two strangely contrasted young women ,who are their daughters—are the central characters of an intensely drama- tic story. They are true, vital creations, these characters, and they make the action, precipitate the crowding events of "In This Our Life." The fascinated reader sees un- folding before him here an analy- sis of the modern mire and tem- ��... - .. - -... N. per as exhibited rn t is far tf and their community.

British Economist Here to Tackle War Problems U.S. economy could not function at all on the present basis if Hitler wins the war, warns the British economist, Prof. John Maynard Keynes, who is an adviser to the Bank of England. Here he is as he arrived at LaGuardia Field, New York, with Mrs, Keynes, after flying the Atlantic in the Clipper. Representative of Sir Kingsley Wood, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, he will study special problems raised by the Lease -Lend Act, THE WAR •WEE K—Commentary on Current Events Was Hess' Flight Plotted To Fool British Leaders? "Yes, the maggot Is In the apple"—British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The most sensational single ev- ent yet to oceur Tr the war be- tween B;liAi1t and Germany—the flla of No. 3 Nazi Rudolf Hess to Scotland -last week precipitat• ed a welter of rumor, a turmoil of conjecture, of fantastic reports, far-fetched explanations, topical jokes, among all the people of the Anglo-Saxoir world. This most in. credible development had every body by the ears. Aud one and all, we sought to decipher what was behind it. The Obvious Expert opinion differed widely. Among the more optimistic on- lookers were the New York Times editors who said, "!Whatever he is, Hess is good new for England. The escape worries Hitler and must spread and deepen the doubts that eat into the heart of Germ- any." The Herald Tribune, sim. Bally accepting the most obvioue theory—that Hess was a traitor and wanted to help Britain—declared it poesible that Hess, "converted fox whatever reason, is about to put his knowledge and the power of his voice into a crusade against the whole gang with which he roases" and said the incident "could easily ]nark one of the great turn- ing points of the war." Held Suspect By. Many Prime Minister Churchill's first reported verbal reaction to Hess' landing in Scotland ("Yes, the mag- got is in the apple") was inter- preted in most quarters as referr ing to a major rift in the Nazi hierarchy which might in time split the whole of Germany in two. Mr. Churchill's remark could also mean that IJess' undertaking was strong- ly suspect, It seemed phoney to the one- time president of the Norwegian Parliament, Carl J. Hambro, who expressed the view that Hess had been sent from Germany to "fool England"; "IIess may bo a fan- atic willing to sacrifice even his own life If it could help bring about the downfall of England." A form- er member of the German Reich- stag, now editor of a New York magazine was of the same opinion: "IIess is the first missile of poison gas fired to England by Hitler to start public discussion of peace possibilities, counting on a split within the Nazi party." Caution Against Sentimentality The anti -Nazi German -language newspaper Die Zeitung, published in London, cautioned against let- ting sentimentality lead to the feel- ing that IIess "is not so bad," and urged all to remember "he is as had as the worst of them." Tho newspaper said further: "His Britain's Baby Destroyers Scout The Atlantic Pocket destroyers, newest British weapon to offset mounting toll in Battle of the Atlantic, cut swiftly through the water in search of German submarines. These "Handmaidens of the Navy" are small motor launches, built in Britain from American parts. They carry depth charges, machine guns, anti-aircraft weapons. REG'LAR FELLERS—Kitty Kitty NO; SIR f ZNAnYWTCAD AN' I'VE BEEN HERE OURS THERE'S NAY/THIN IN THIS CREEK cA►rrUUH ANYHOW t hands are stained with the blood of thousands of innocent people. His fanaticism and ruthlessness match that of Himmler and Strei- cher .. , Lf there is anything by which he distinguished himself among his fellow•eriminals it is the impudence which always made him specially suited to deny his atroc- ities with an air of offended hon- esty." Still With Hitler? Otto Strasser, leader of the anti - Hitler Black Front group, and per- haps one of the best -qualified amen on this continent to discuss mem- bers of the Nazi top drawer, wrote his analysis of the ]-Less affair in n.'copyright story for the Montreal Herald, Dr. Strasser said he believ- ed that a tremendous trial of strength was at hand between the Army (Goering) elements in Germ- any on the one hand, and the ]lit - ler elements (Hess, Goebbels, llim- mler) on the other. ]less, becom- ing aware of this and knowing full well that his life was not worth a pfennig, escaped before the axe fell, In a later interview, Dr. Strass- er said: "I cannot believe that Hess is now against Hitler. I am sure though he has lost confidence that Hitler can win the war." No. 1 Propaganda Weapon However diverse the interpreta- tions put upon the multitudinous aspects of the affair, one thing was crystal clear: as a propaganda weapon the flight of Hess to 13ri- t.ain could deal a knockout blow to German morale if used to the fullest advantage by the British. Furthermore, according to the Canadian military expert, W. R. Plowman, if IIess really had turned traitor he might reveal hidden weaknesses of Germany—such as, say, the impossibiliy of maintain- ing the present German output of planes; the destruction of ship• yards making submarines; the heavy losses at sea of submarines and their crews; the possible early decline of the campaign against shipping; the possible inability of Germany to cope with British bombing attacks on Germany or to crush Britain by means of night fighters. Diplomatic secrets he could reveal by the score, France Joins "New Order" The second biggest news story of the week came with the an- nouncement that the retain gov- ernment of unoccupied France had approved terms of a "collaboration" agreement negotiated by Hitler and Vice -Premier Jean Darien, France had now become a part of the "now order" in Europe. Tho impli- cations. of this step, designed, so it was said, "to halt American entry into the war," would be far•reach• Ing, varied and unpredictable. Their first effect undoubtedly would be felt in the Battle of the Mediterranean, east and west, Events were shaping up rapidly 1n the Middle East last week. The only hand which remained fully to be disclosed was that of Germ- any. Most reliable reports in Lon- don indicated that the Germans were preparing to land a consider- able force in Syria for an attack on Iraq, by-passing Turkey in order to keep Russia out of the struggle. King George V A Mighty Ship Has More Secret Weapons Than Any Other Battleship Afloat Britain's latest and greatest battleship, King George V, has more secret weapons than any other warship, writes a Reuters correspondent who was the first newspaperman allowed aboard. One of the most interesting de- vices night be called "Prime Min- ister Churchill's secret weapon.'; The correspondent understood it was inspired by Mr. Churchill when he was at the Admiralty. Here is the correspondent's de- scription of the battleship, which recently took Viscount Halifax, British ambassador, and 1 -Ion, C, D. Howe, Canadian Minister of Munitions and Supply, to the United States: "This is probably the mightiest instrument of war that magi has yet created. As I write in the depth of the ship I am surrounded by more marvelous devices for both offence and defence than in any area of similar size anywhere on earth. 16 -INCH ARMOR PLATE; "The first thing you notice, as EEA Great Energy Food HIVE 'olden corn FREE Aeroplane Pictures HERE IS ALL YOU HAVE TO DO: to get photo, of the following aeroplanes— Spitfire . ,.

"On the broad deck you are confronted with one of the colos- sal quadruple 14 -inch gun turrets. Outwardly it is as big as a bung- alow. Altogether there are 10 such guns—arranged in one quad- ruple turret forward and another aft with a double turret to fire over the forward one. "To enter one of the big turrets you squeeze through a tiny hatch and are confronted With a medley of machinery more Wellsian than if any H. G. Wells' fantasy. With- in the thick steel walls aro levers, dials, tubes, telephones and wires in orderly profusion, and along one side the breeches of the guns. DOWN INSIDE THE TURRETS "Next you descend to the very bowels of the turret, where the shells conic from. Gingerly you climb down many ladder rungs, past glistening copper tubes and other parts of the hydraulic ma- chinery which turns the turret in action, swiftly and smoothly, They have hydraulic power instead of electric, so the guns could con- tinue moving and firing even if the electric supply failed, "Inside this cylindrical cavern, when a battle is on, 104 men will work levers and press buttons. If all 10 14 -inch guns were fired at once the weight of metal hurled from the battleship would be no less than 15,000 pounds, The six forward guns alone can fire 9,360 pounds of shell. SUICIDE TO ATTACK IT "Back on deck, one notices the rows of 5.25 -inch high -angle guns along both sides of the ship -16 in all—and on a higher level the multiple pom-poms. "Air attack against `K.G;5,' as the ship is known in the navy, would be a job for the suicide squad, which would encounter a deadlier barrage than from any other vessel afloat, Cheques cashed in Canadian clearing centres during 1940 totalled $34,437,000,000, an in- crease of $2,820,000,000 over 1939.

By it, all Governments, — Dominion, Provincial and Muxi- cipal—are 'enabled to work more effectively and econ- omically in the interest of every resident of the Dominion. IN these days of increasing Govern- ment responsibili- 2- ties, no Government can give the best J, service unless it has detailed and accu- rate knowledge of the people and their varying circum- stances. That is why we request the co-operation of all Canadian citizens in the taking of the Census. When the Government's Enumerator calls at your door, re- ceive him courteously and give him all the information for which he asks. Remember that he is in your ser- vice. Accuracy and despatch in your replies will promote good administra- tion in your country, now under stress of war and facing crucial post-war reconstruction.

"fifteen acres in wheat , twenty acres in oats" , . and so on but just mention planting a row of beets anis see what happens, flow I love the seed catalogues! They come in. the mail at that in-be- tween time when you are sort of tired of looking at the mall order catalogues and the iunpleanent folders haven't started coming. A profusion of colors bloom in' the catalogues and usually there's a contest to name something or a puzzle of some kind to solve that passes away the time. Then come the bright Spring (lays. Mrs. Pltil begins to start mentioning the fact that the garden gate is brok- en , , and the garden fence needs fix- ing. By cunt of shaming me into it when .she dons an old smock and a pair of gloves and attempts to fix the fence and gate the repairs are finally made. About the 'Hine that seeding 'begins Mrs. Pitil 18 positively angry over the fact that the garden hasn't been work- ed up. The ultimatum is handed out over the breakfast table "Unless you work that garden up today I'm not going; to do any preserving this year," Needless to say the garden is worked tip. You know what a garden looks like ~viten it has been worked up. There's still the process of drilling it up into rows. 'Mrs. Phil generally has another battle on her htut(ls to get the garden drilled into rows. Somehow men folks never seem tq mind planting early potatoes. Ono part of tate garden is set aside for this purpose and the cut potatoes dropped into the holes. Perhaps it's because we're looking ahead to that first day when "new potntoes" are in, \Vhy does a man hate to 'plant a gar- den?

You be- gin to pray earnestly that a fertilizer agent or a cream separator man will dlrive in. But they never come when they're wanted.
