drubbing, but considering the edge in
speed, size and experience, the Tars
had over the Maitlands, it is a wond
er the margin wasn’t bigger. Bill
Lepard, in the local net, let several
“s’oft” ones in, but give the kid credit,
it was his first game and only the
third time he has had the big pads
on. The boy did a good job on the
harder shots, but inexperience in
clearing his stops proved fatal.
A very noticeable weakness in get
ting the puck out of their own goal
zone was the stumbling block to the
local kids, but this can and should
be remedied. In fact, even in the last
period the kids were doing this im
portant chore in much better fashion,
As said before the Maitlands lacked
speed to cope with the fast Tars on
the attack. However, in all fairness
it must be said the Sailors were th®
best junior club to appear here in a
good many years and will give any
junior club in this section plenty to
do any night. Their team play and
defense work were all you could ask
at this, stage of the young season.
For the local boys the young kid
line of the two Biggs boys and Bak
er oi' Hamilton, played the best and
most consistent hockey. Little Dar
rel Biggs especially quickly earned
the favour of the fans, not alone be
cause of his size, but also for some
very fine work at centre ice. He
scored the first Wingham goal on a
nice play with his brother, Perce, and
just skinned the goal post on a very
nice play in the second period. Jack
Richardson got the other goal on a
nice pass from Harry Posliff in the
third period. Harry, by* the way, was
I chosen by the kids as their captain
(for the season. Richardson was the
best of the defense-men and looked
vastly improved in the final period
over the two previous sessions. Stew
art Forsyth, when he gets over his'
Jirst awkwardness with his stick, will
prove a good player too before the
season is over, we believe.
The Maitlands play an exhibition
game in Clinton Thursday and sev
eral new kids will be taken along and
given a thorough trial. Some of these
spare kids are just as good as those
that performed Monday night and
will be given a fair chance to make
good. The fans should bear in mind
that these kids are being groomed for
future years and not be too critical
of them now.

Dear Editor;
No news from Huron has touched
me more than the recent reports of
three deaths in the neighborhood of
Belgrave; Joe Brandon, Matt. Fergu
son and David Dunbar.
It seems to the writer that we too
readily’ "let the rude forefathers of
the hamlet sleep”, whereas we awak
ens others of fame by glowing biog
raphies. I feel it a duty to ask for a
little of your space.
Those three men who were laid to
rest within a few days of one anoth
er were sons of worthy parents close
ly connected in the neighborhood,
were young men of influence when I
was a boy and all were successful
men. James Ferguson and Joseph
Dunbar, two of the fathers, were eld
ers in the Presbyterian Church and
Joe Brandon belonged to one of the
prominent families in the Methodist
Church. I had the privilege of hav
ing Mr. Dunbar as a Sunday School
teacher and later of being in a class
taught by Mr. Ferguson.
Boys are 'usually impressed by
youth the next grade older and that
is how the writer has so many mem
ories of the three referred to. Dave,
as we always called him, gave me a
place in the baseball team which prac
tised on his father’s field' and won a
notable victory over Marnoch club at
the picnic. He was a winner too as
a young farmer an'd all along the way
was successful. Matt, was a fine look
ing young man, the mystery being
that he never married. Probably
there hangs a tale of-a lonely heart.
A worthy helpmate was needed, we
think, to develop the true fibres in
his character, which were indeed very
promising. Joe Brandon early pro
fessed conversion and his "light was
on a candlestick” leading other young
souls on the bright road of life. I
owe him much although we belonged
to different- churches;-
Will you therefore publish these
few lines. The fine old homes in
Pluron which sent these men forth
might well be recalled. The three
comrades in youth were types of Can
ada’s best and in the ‘ripe old age they
fell together by the great reaper.
Yours sincerely,
Austin L. Budge.

I Speak of Germany
As Mr, Hillson’s book1 bears the
sub-title “A Plea for Anglo-German
Friendship”, he does not disguise his
partisan approach to the whole mat
ter, although—and perhaps this is typ
ically English—he completely ignores
what the Dominions may think about
his scheme. He minimizes the im
portance of such problems as Hitler’s
cruel treatment of the Jews and seems
quite unfamiliar with the more subtle
factors in the opposition of both
Catholic, and Evangelical churches to
the Hitler regime. In general, he ad
mires everything that Hitler’s govern
ment has done and compares their
achievements with the meagre efforts
of the United Kingdom to act with
equal effectiveness.
Undoubtedly, the Hitler regime,
like the Communist regime in Rus-!
sia, has worked some miracles, and ’
we need to understand its good points,
and to study its success dispassion
ately. We can therefore learn a great
deal in this book if we read it criti
cally and not be carried away by the
author's prejudices. Perhaps, the best
chapter is that on “The Total State”
in which he attributes the resurrec
tion o.f Germany to the “combination
of economics methods with social
service”. In Canada, our governments
vacillate between economic methods
of creating wealth and alleged social
service methods of dissipating wealth,
and it often seems that more atten
tion is devoted to wealth dissipation
than to wealth-creation. Only as we
see the problem of relief in relation
to the question of wealth-creation
and take steps to safeguard the wealth
already accumulated and to circum
vent horrible losses in the future
through forest-fires, land-ei;osion, etc.
will we be able to approximate under
our system of freedom what the dic
tatorial regimes have apparently suc
ceeded in doiiig at the price of free
dom.
Mr. Hillson is obviously and bit
terly anti-Frencli, and if a Berlin-
London axis is to be prevented, the
Paris government will do well to en
courage a little more understanding
of British problems among the
French people, for there is some truth
in. the author’s statement that “when
ever the British ./Government begins,
to think of the British people at the
•expense of the French, the French
press arises in fury and accuses us
of the basest treachery”. Certainly,
the main purpose of the British Gov- |
ernment is not to protect France, and
if France does not learn to under
stand that fact, she may force Britain
directly into the arms of Germany. In
this connection, it must be rememb
ered that Britons have perhaps more
in common with Germans than with
the French, although, on the other
hand, France and Britain, being both
“imperial” powers, may inevitably be
bound more closely together against
the encroachments of “hungry” na
tions.
A ■■ Jmi ■■
Wh_at is more important — both
have challenged democracy and done
away with the crudities of the multi
party system which is the bane of de
mocracy, Mr, Ward Price, however,
sneers openly at the futilities of de
mocracy and quotes Lloyd George:
“the dictators act while the democrat
ic leaders fumble”; again, "the differ
ence between Germany and the demo
cratic countries is like that between
a professional and an amateur foot
ball side. The amateurs can please
themselves; but the professionals
; have the satisfaction of playing bet*
I ter football”. Again, to use the words
, of Mussolini "fascism has abolished
the game of parliamentary chess; it
has simplified the taxation system
and reduced the deficit to measurable
proportions’’. While Mr. Ward Brice
is glad that democratic Britain allows
the Rotheremere press to speak its
mind freely in praise of dictators, he
appears to favour the subservience of
the press to governmental policy in
stead of the practice of democratic
countries where a large part of the
press’ has moved in the opposite dir
ection. Instead of putting national
movements first, "its outlook on pub
lic affairs is dominated by a set of
vague, and visionary principles”. Mr.
Aberhart might approve.
Mr, Ward Price gives much more
Space to Hitler than to Lfussolini and
this is probably due to the larger
amount of material available in Hit
ler’s autobiography and also because
his promary concern is with Anglo-'
German friendship whicji, he says, “is
the key to the European situation”.
No one objects to Anglo-German
friendship if it is not based merely
on the author’s fundamental abhor
rence of communism, his contempt
for democracy and the ideals of col
lective security, his addiction to na
tionalism, imperialism and Realpol
itik, his incurably European mind
which views the lesser breeds with
contempt, and his opposition to the
set of idealistic principles Which, he
designates as "vague and visionary”.
Perhaps, his policy may win. the day,
But one wonders if-.it is worth the pos
sible price of the disintegration of the
British Empire and the collapse of all
possibility of Anglo-American under
standing. Britain may have to choose
and Ratheremere et alii will do well
to widen their vision beyond Europe
to the New World and the Far East.

The most important factor in the care of tuberculosis is rest. If a patient lias tuberculosis of a joint, the limb is
put to rest by splinting or by some
other means. The same method, applies to tuberculosis of the lungs. In a certain
number of patients the diseased lung
can bo put at rest by artificial pneumo* thorax or by other surgical operations.
In most cases, however, the only way to rest the lungs is to rest the entire

I Know These Dictators
G. Ward Price is a special corres
pondent of the London Daily Mail
and a loyal devotee of the Father-
mere press. He knows and admires
both Hitler and Mussolini. The best
thing'about the book is that it is a
corrective of the thesis that these dic
tators are megalomaniacs, egoists and
fanatics. Indeed, he finds them in
tensely gentle, amiable and human.
Much in the lives of these two men
is comparable. Both were born in re
lative poverty and knew its bitter
ness; both served in the war; both
were wounded on active service; both
served terms in prison for political of
fences; both lo^e music; both arc or
