Mr. Churchill
No doubt thousands of Canadians
listened to Mr. Churchill's speech.
broadcast from London on Sunday
last, .and there is no doubt but that
those thousands would be heartened
by his word's..
As always, he told the truth -with-
out prophecy, but the truth this
time was encouraging and not hard
to bear. He has -no doubt whatever
of a United Nations victory, but at
the same time, he does not vision
that victory as just around the cot
ner.
On the contrary, he said that many
hard years were yet ahead of us be-
fore victory would be attained. We
have: made a start, but only a start,
and there can be, no let up . in our
sacrifice and production, for that
would only prolong the final victory..
`. The most .striking part of . his
speech was; perhaps, his 'warning t6
the .people of Italy to discard Mus-
solini now or suffer the consequenc-
es of an all-out bombing, to be fol-
lowed -by invasion.
At this distance, many have been
taking the' R.A.F.. bombing of Italy
more as a stage play than the inflict-
ing of heavy loss upon the centres
and people of that country. .But
when Mr. Churchill told that the
, damage to Italian munition and war
works, to her cities and population,
was already greater than Britain t
had suffered by the Germain raids
of 1940, he painted a word picture of
devastation indeed, and one that ev-
ery citizen of this country can read-
ily visualize.
Much has yet to be done in Africa,
Mr. Churchill said; and much has yet
to be done in Russia and Europe, be=
fore the Hun is defeated. But a
more than successful start had been
made and ultimate victory, he prom-
ised, was at least in sight.
But that was not all that was con-
tained
..
in Mr. Churchill's words of
hope and warning. War will not
cease with the defeat of Germany.
After the war with Germany will
come thereal war with Japan. A
war that will take some further
years to bring to a victorious conclu-
sion. And in that war Britain will
be behind the United States with ev-
ery man, every gun and every ship
she has.
Mr. Churchill promised no rosy
prospect for the Allied Nations, but
thereis always something. about his
speeches that leaves a feeling of
hope, -of confidence and an undying
determination to work and win in
the minds of all within the hearing
of that deliberate, husky voice.
' Hard To Understand
Agreement was reached over the
week -end between the Ford Com-
pany of Canada and the C.I.O. Union
at Windsor, and the 13,500 employees
who have been or strike for a week
have returned to work.
That , is encouraging news, but at
the same tithe it is very hard for the
average man at this distance, t� un-
'dersltand why the strike waallow-
ed to be called in the first place.
The reason given by• the Union
was that . women, only a dozen of
then in all, were being hired by the
Compa'ny at a lower wage than paid
the men. It was not at all sympathy
for the women workers on the part
of the men, but rather the fear of
the Union bosses that women might
tipplabt the men because of the low-
er
wage rate.
t scents, almost a criminal piece
Si .ass in time of war, . that a
pi t
employing thousands of
0,' ' bre ,anowed to . close;or
job ' could close it
Gi; l;<1 the
l3
few' women, should receive similar
wages, whether or not they were
competent to earn. them. :,"Tf that is
allowed to continue, it is not" had -to
seewhat might easily happen to dur
war effort.
the men and women on our
farrias in this district had gone, ons
strike this summer on account of
Wages, hours and conditions, one
might have had some sympathy for
them. But they are •made of better
stuff. They finished their job,, and
without a murmur too.
Canada is at war, and there is
work for every man and woman to
do, and even labor unions, powerful
as some of them are, should not be
allowed to •fall down on the job. •
•
To Theatre Goers
The National Board of Review of
Motion Pictures in the Wilted States
has requested that the double fea-
ture be eliminated in all motion pic-
ture theatres for the duration of the
war.
It is felt by the Board that the
habit of sitting three or four hours
as one of the members put it, "with °
one's mind afloat in a fictional
world,"' is not the best possible train= .
ing for war and its hardships.
There is no suggestion of con-
demning •movies' in wartime, because
themoving pictures have played a
conspicuous part in raising and main-
taining the morale of soldiers, war
workers and people generally, and
have acted as excellent propaganda
in drawing Allied countries together
;aid -creating a better 'feeling be-
tween the people of those nations.
, But double feature programmes
consume materials ' and manpower,
and waste many man-hours of audi-
ences. In addition, one picture at a
-smaller admission fee would raise
more in taxes and permit patrons to
save more. • -
No doubt the depression is large-
ly responsible for the appearance of
the double feature in movie houses.
During those years people wanted to
escape from earthly things, and h'ad
the time for it. But today we are
at war,•. and there is a job for every
man and woman too, and no time to
waste.
The Weatherman's Tricks
The weatherman plays many
tricks, and some very dirty ones too.
We do not object to the kind of win-
ter he furnishes:. us with here, be-
cause over -a term of scores of years
we have become . accustomed and
hardened to them.
But we decidedly. object to the way
he brought in winter this year. At
best, our ° winters are not too pleas-
ant,
but it does not help at all when
a coating of ice is ..applied to all the
roads and walks before the first
snow is allowed to fall.
This may not be an entirely new
trick on the part of the weather-
man, but it is certainly one of his
dirtiest. It makes the driving of a
car a nightmare, and is even worse
for those who walk—and there are
an unusual number of people walk-
ing these days.
As soon as 'the streets are nicely
iced, the now appears and covers
them. There is nothing nicer to look
at, of course, than a white .mantle
of snow. At the same time, there
is nothing more treacherous.
Your feet—or one of them is just
as bad—break through in most un-
expected places and most unexpected
times and nothing short of a miracle
saves you from a broken arm or leg,
or even both.
But even such miracles do not save
you from pain. Or at least, not us.
It hurts us to even move, and we are
telling the weatherman that this
sort of business is just as dirty a
trick as any Nazi could invent.
He should know better. He really
should. We do not . object to snow, -
or blizzards, but we want winter to
be laid down right, and on a solid �-
foundation,

We had a little clash of snow last
night. It got frosty cold about Men
o'clock and when.I went out to look
over the stock about ten o'clock the
ground was getting hard. 'Patricia
Ann turned .over in her crib about
two in the morning andher doll roll-
ed out. When I picked it up, some-
thing seemed to attract me to the
window . . . and sure enough there
in the cold, glaring light of the moon
was some snow streaking down like
strokes of chalf on a greyish back-
ground.
There's something• about that first
.snow of the year that always seems
to affect people. I like the years
when it comes down in lazy, drifting
flakes. You go out to the stable in
the morning and the air is . not too
cold, but something seems to hint lo,
you that the snow is coming. You
sense it . . , and when you're on the
way - back in to the house a flake or
two comes dribbling down to smear
against the side of your 'face.
Maybe it comes while you're sit-
ting at the table eating . . . or pos-
sibly later on when you decide on a
snooze or a glance at the paper . . .
and it's usually the youngsters who
notice it. "It's'snowing!" That's the
signal for everyone to rush to the.
windows and there you see an en-
gulfing wave of white flakes all tumb-
ling over each other as theyy fall laz-
ily down to earth. The youngsters
immediately want to get bundled up
and -get their sleighs ready for sleigh
riding,
A deep sort of contentment settles
over the house after the youngsters
win° their point and go out hopefully
to the snow. The kettle seems to
bubble a little cheerier and the cat
carefully yawns and stretches and
waits for an opportunity to.o hop . up
on the old sofa and from: there to
the 'kitchen, window. Cats just seem
to love to stretch out on the sill and
batik in the warmth while they can
watch outside and see the snow com-
ing down.
'Sometimes, the snow comes while
you're on the way from the village
with a load of chop. It will .be late
afternoon and the snow .seems to set-
tle down with the dusk. Soon the
world seems to be in a haze of fading
light and falling snowflakes and the
cars stert driving with their lights an,
You hear "children yelling cheerfully
and traffic on the road seems to sud-
denly loom up out of nowhere. By
the time you get home there's a light
on in the house and •the soft snow-
flakes are melting and some are
sticking to your clothes.
There's a steamy breath of air that
hits you in the face as you open the
stable door. The stock's all hungry
and you have to hustle around and
get the work done up. When you
come out the tracks Of the wagon are
almost all covered and .you make
quite a ritual act of brushing your
feet off at the door with a broom. Af-
ter all this is the first snow of the
year. Winter has conic.
Last night's snow was a little dis-
appointing because it ,didn't amount
to very much. When we got up this
morning the 'ground was frozen hard
and there were little patches of snow
but very • little. I guess we'Il
have to wait yet for a real first snow
of the season.

"I missed it going up," said the

"It seems to me," remarked the
thoughtful youth, "that it must be
dangerous to marry, ' I get the impres-
sion that in the first place women
marry you for your 'money; if they
don't manage to take •it all they leave
you and sue for alimony; and 'if they
fail at that they, outlive you to get
your insurance money."

"Very well, how do you
meaning to need bread?"
"Knead, of course."
. "Wrong."
"Wrong? Meaning to knead bread,
spell `need,'

"Well, -it's knead."

you need bread."

"There was the lion," he said, "and
here was I. Just over there was a
solitary tree. I dashed toward it, but
as I approached, I realized that the

from the ground, so I jumped for it."
"And did you reach it?" queried a
listener.

wants to run a line .through here."

barn?"
"Yes."

TRE ARRAS-CAMBRAI,.,ROAD
We Phad-half expected a concedtra
tion in the read, night marches and• a
surprise attack on some other front
after the fashion of Amiens.. But
when we reached the line of July
we turned north through shattered
villages like Marcelcave and ;villers-
Bretonneux, where the Aussies had
done so well. Here and there a few
of the inhabitants were finding their
way back to their wrecked homes
and putting up shelters for them-
selves. The weather was good, the
sun shone brightly and the wind was
pleasantly warm as we rattled over
flagstones aed stirred up clouds of
dust from the roads pitted with shal-
low holes. At times we; halted, in-
spected the .nearest houses casually
and sought wells from which to
quench thirst, then resumed our
niareb.• In the afternoon rumors
spread of an important success by
English and New Zealand troops in
the region of ,Bapaume, and confirmed
by newspapers .from the canteens,
gave us much satisfaction. The en-
emy would soon be back on his Line
of the previous March, and probably
our present job was to hasten his re-
treat. That acco'mplis'hed, we eitpect-
ed :the line to settle down for the
winter.
In the evening we reached: a group
of lints ih a wood, by Toutencourt, and
there_ put up for the night, to 'sleep
on the soft side of a board. Next
afternoon we continued our way ieto
country untouched by the scourge of
war, and observed from the signs
that we were in the region of Arras.
About 10 p.m. we, reached our place
of encampment, a field by a water-
power flour mill, not far' from Grain -
court. We of the' staff dug our .tar-
paulin from the depths of the supply
wagon and proceeded to set it up in
ah.. orchard. Suddenly a Frenchman
appeared, gesticulating violently and
emitting a rapid volley, of words.
Those of us who knew a little French
judged' the occasion unsuitable for its
use and .suinmoned our French-Cana-
dian corporal, 'Des Rosters, tte. act as
target. A colloquy followed with a
flew of "satire -bleu" and "nom -de Dieu"
expressions, and in conclusion toes
Rosiers informed use that we were pn
forbidden ground and that the of
boy feared damage in or to his orch-
ard. We hadn't .noticed anything
t-orth..ta.ititig im' his orchard, but we
moved the tarrbaul4n to the other .aide
of the fence; remarking that if *e
had been bhp German* he wouldn't
tare had any eriilaifd: left. We albpt
'en ,west on axle Bide . ►f the fence as
we: would have done on the other;
and next day, August 28th, we con-
tinued on our way to Arras.,
About hall 'an hops' before, dusk we
encamped in an open field half a mile
from the village of Latte. While set-
ting up our tarpaulin for the night,
we of the staff obeerved a field with
vegetables nearby. Having' done some
scouting, we dug up potatoes, carrots,
onions and beets, cleaned and sliced
them and boiled them in a cook -house
pot .,over a fire of our own making.
The stew lacked salt; but was palat-
able enough and disappeared to the
lat t drop. We had been ,a trifle free-
handed, but this :,was the only occa-
sion ort which we of the staffhelped
ourselves to any Frenchman's proper
ty. That same day 'one eof our gun-
ners had succeeded in abstracting 'half
a side of mutton from the Army Ser-
vice Corps, which was soon,converted
into the 'best Canadian combatant
material, and that was a red-letter
day •for food. Late next afternoon
we were once more on the march
(August 29th), and , at midnight we
reached the shattered village of Agny,
where once again we camped. •
Next day, August 30th, brought or-
ders' to go into the line that night.
At 5.30 p.m. we took our way through
villages that were ; mere heaps of
brick like Bulleoourt, scene of des-
perate fighting in 7.917. After dusk
we proceeded to the front, well mark-
ed by rise and fall of .the flares. Af-
ter some time the rush and- crash of
light shells warned us of the danger
zone; and about 11 p.m. we arrived
at a hill beside a wide paved road.
Here we halted for a few minutes and
the officers and sergeants went on to
find the position, while shells two hun-
dred yards behind us along the road
warned us that our situation was un-
comfortably "warm.''
As we waited, some .nen of the
'Second and-, Thiir"d Divisions came
atlong. In answer to our enquiries.,
,they stated that they had taken the
top at Monchy le-Preux .on August 2f1
and had been fighting their -way for-
ward ever since along the Arras -Cam -
braid road, by which we were stand-
ing, That day, August 30, and the
day' before they had had a bad time
from fire en .the front and, on the
left flank, and the tanks they had
found to be of little use,. continu.aily
put out of action by blitz's field guns.
n the week of fighting, they had ad-
vanced to Iiaucourt, and after the
first two days the going was etiie and
the 'losses much heavier than, those
of Amiens..

Second and T1>ardt,
had dont their share, and now we of
