cheers and it will be a succession of
such engagements that will turn the
tide of victory in our favour. Just
when things look very black and the
public are showing signs of wearin
ess along comes ■ some outstanding
feat that brings cheers in place of
tears.
Th.e Empire has had to take a lot
of punishment and disappointments
since the war began, but their spirit
never wavered. Our people can take
it. This is proven every day in the
raids on the British Islands. It was
said in the last war that one of the
main reasons that the British did so
well was because they never lost their
sense of humour. This is as true to
day as it was then. The Empire can
carry on this grim business of war
with a smile and an occassjonal three
cheers and an Empire with such
characteristics cannot be crushed.
Canada is playing her part with the
rest of the Empire and will do 'so
with increased fervour if given
opportunity.

SHOWN INTEREST NOW
The municipalities that have early
voting will hold their nominations
this week with the exception of Wing
ham which will nominate Monday
evening next. The electors should at
tend these meetings and hear the re
port of those to whom they entrusted
their municipal business. It is not
necessary to attend in a spirit of criti
cism, one can also attend with the idea
of showing satisfaction for the way
things have been looked after. A large
attendance at nominations we believe
is one of the things that will help us
to preserve our democracy as the
business discussed is very close to
home. Democracy dies in those count
ries that have people who do not take I the 's^da/^ining^
a sufficient interest in their franchise.! ees. The people who do not agree
In the three dictator countries of ; with the length of time were apparent-
Europe. the system under which they (iy right for now the Minister of Nat

by a minority of the peoples. The
reason for this was the electors did

of the country that they should have.

1THREE CHEERS AND
A HURRAH
Prime Minister Churchill was
smiles when he told the House
Commons of the" great engagement
which took place at the boot hell of
Italy when by dash and daring, the
Italian Navy was dealt a stunning
blow. The Fleet Air Arm that took
part in this action gave the Empire
•another opportunity to give three
fining the time to four months. Col.
Brooks who is in charge of the Non
Permanent Active Militia training in
New Brunswick was very out-spoken.
He said, “of course 30 days is not
enough. No person will argue that.”
When a change is made in the train
ing period it should be changed to
even a longer period than four months
so that when the soldiers leave the
schools they would be fully qualified
to take on military duty at a future
date with very little refresher work.
