Zurich Herald, 1944-08-31, Page 6RAILWAY STATION OF THE FUTURE New, artistic design of the Canadian National Railways' stations symbo- lises in field stone and glass the streamline trend of the modern age. The to illustration shows tate archi- tect's drawing of the street elevation of the first of these new stations, Gone are the dimly-lit waiting rooms and dull painted walls of railway stations. The new Canadian National "station of the future" is the last word in appointments sand travellers' conveniences, and looks as modern as the newest streamline locomotive. Specially designed by John Schofield, Chief Architect of the Canadian National System, the station building is 74 feet long, 24 feet wide sand 12 feet in height, and its streamline appearance is somewhat revolutionary when compared with the old, standard type of station. A three-foot dado of field stone rovers the hidden concrete wall structure and huge glass windows continue the remainder of the wall space to the The platform elevation of this new station of the future is illustrative of the wide use of glass to assure light, dry public rooms, and the decorative veneer of field stone and fireproofed cedar boards over the concrete struc- ture. overhanging, seven -foot -wide roof projection over the 700 foot long platform. The ticket office bay also is glass on three sides above the field stone base assuring the public rooms a flood of sunlight. The baggage and express rooms on the opposite end of the station continue the cedar board finish which features the street corner of the wait- ing room above the field stone, and the interior of colored glazed tiles and indirect electric Iighting is equally modern: J. F. Pringle, vice-president and general manager of the Central Region, announced that the first of these "stations - of the future" will be constructed at Midland, •Ont., to replace the former wooden structure destroyed by fire. THE WAR • WEEK -- Commentary on Current Events "A Definite, Complete and Decisive Victory End of War In Sight" The job of presenting a complete picture of France today is too much for even the most gifted reporters and the most expert map makers, nays the New York Tinges. The reporters can dip here and there into the clouds and smoke that have been swirling over the coun- try. The map makers can lay out with lines and shadings the ex- panding area of Allied control. The communiques reveal such of the armies' movements as will not en- lighten the enemy. General Mont- gomery, in a characteristic burst of enthusiasm, declares that there "definite, complete and has been a d p decisive victory" and asserts that "the end of the war is in sight." Prime Minister Churchill, more cautiously, refuses to "predict an early end of the war" but will not "guarantee against it ending soon- er than we had allowed ourselves M hope." Nazi Disasters The details almost defy general- ization: the bulk of General von Kluge's Seventh Army being chew- ed up in the Argentan-Falaise pocket; elements of the German Fifteenth Army trying to recross the Seine under air bombardment; American troops on the north bank tef the Seine, below Mantes, mov- ing to turn this new .escape route into a new trap; Paris outflanked, with resistance forces in the city growing bolder every hour and Allied tanks apparently avoiding entrance only in order to prevent the city's destruction; Allied war- ships silencing the forts of Toulon and French troops in the outskirts of the port; an Allied column from the south reported one-third of the way to Lyon; Allied cruisers shelling Bayonne; Nazis and their sympathizers pouring into Spain over the international bridge at Iicndaye as did the refugees from Nazism four years ago; the French Forces of the Interior active over one-third of the area of France, Two Bright Facts Two facts stand out brightly in all this apparent confusion. One t2 that the Germans. not only out- numbered and outweighed but out- generaled and outfought, are in great danger of losing the best part and perhaps the greater part of the sixty-nine divisions they were reported to have in western Europe on D-day. If the present pressure is kept up they will find it difficult indeed to stand on any line inside the French frontiers, and they may have to abandon Norway and the Low Countries. Nor do they dare, in spite of a temporary success on the Baltic front, withdraw any large number of troops from the East. The sec- ond fact is that the moment the Nazi hold weakens at any point, there is a popular uprising. This i in France,and is clearly evident there is not the slightest doubt that it will occur elsewhere. The best that any outnumbered Nazi occupation force can hope for is to be taken prisoner. The best that the Quislings and lesser collab- orators can hope for is a trial in due process. Time Hitler's Only Friend It does not become us to for- get, however, that the Nazi realm has ,been brought to this stage, as Mr. Churchill predicted, by blood, sweat and tears, Boys of the AI - lied nations are suffering wounds and death in this moment of vic- tory as they did in the less hopeful days. At this supreme crisis it is for us to support them with work as well as prayers. Time is now Hitler's only friend. The home front must stand with the fighting men in denying it to him. Advance Warning Of Earthquakes? It may soon be possible to give advance warning of earthquakes. An experinlentaI network of sta- tions, each equipped with apparatus that automatically registers the slightest variation of the earth's surface, is to be set up in the south- eastern part of the Tadjikistan (Central Asia) by the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union. It is hoped -that these stations will give warning of earthquakes several days before they occur by registering abnormal movements of the rocks of the earth's crust. "MAD COLONEL" SURRENDERS After holding out for 11 days at St. Malo, "Mad Colonel" Andreas von Aulock site stiffly in front Seat of Allied jeep as he and 600 others who surrendered with him are taken to a prison camp. Berlin elenies his capture, but the camera doesn't lie. To By -Pass Farmer Is Socialists' -,'Plan Why . run head-on into farmer opposition to socialization of farm lands. That is the question which the socialist leaders have asked and answered, says the Lethbridge Herald. , The socialists plan merely to by- pass the farmer. Take over 'the banks, set up export-import boards and who handles the farmer's out- put? Why should the socialist poli- tical clique that plans to boss the country care so long as the farmer produces? The political bosses will set the prices, juggle the currency, juggle the prices of, imports and exports, and if the farmers don't like it what are they going to do about it? Possession is nine points of the law, and the farmers' pro- ducts will be in the possession of the politicians because there won't be anyone else who will be allowed to handle them. The taking over of the banks is the real stroke. By juggling money —inflation—the socialists will be able for a while to make the farm- ers believe they are doing great things for agriculture. Meantime, through money juggling, the whole capitalist set-up can be wiped out the sane as Hitler did it in Ger- many. When that has been accomplish- ed will be time to deal with the farmers, and they'll be socialized and told what to do whether they like it or not. The European pat- tern has been planned for Canada. It will be easy when the political bosses grab control of the banks and create sufficient chaos to make it easy to set up the kind of dic- tatorship they must have to so- cialize everything and make every- one a slave of the State. Nazis On Wrong End Of Robombers German officers in a prison camp in southern England are revealed to have petitioned the commandant for immediate re- moval to another section of Eng- land after a robot bomb landed nearby recently without causing damage or casualties. Checkers would be a nice, restful summertime game — if you didn't have to move. 84-2s THERE' IS, ONLY ONE FLYETOX KILLS ,FILTHY FLIES` AND ALL OTHER,; INSECT PESTS PILES Sufferers or bleeding and Protruding piles should know Bunkers Herbal Pills treat the cause at its source.

To Open Cigaret Bank In France A cigaret supply bank, similar to the one serving troops in the Mediterranean, will be established at once for Canadian forces in Normandy and Britain, the Post - office announces. Air -mailed orders will be filled by drawing on big reserves built up over the last few months by bulk shipments. Cigaret gifts gg is will continue to be ordered by individuals through their local tobacconist or direct from the tobacco companies, said the announcement. The tobacco companies prepare labels on re- ceipt of orders, complete with post- age and particulars, each label cov- ering one parcel of 300 cigarets. The Postoffice then takes over. The labels are recorded and flow overseas to the reserve tobacco MORE FOR WORK OR PLAY Extra Tasty with Fresh Peached Build breakfast around Nabisco Shredded Wheat) Eating this high-energy whole wheat cereal regularly h a mighty pleasant way to help get the proteins and carbohydrates you need, as well as useful amounts of file minerals, iron and phosphorus.
