VOLUME 16-- NO.12. J.etter To The Editor : 1, Dave McConnell of the Village of Salttbrd, Colborne Township, wish to explain to the Board of Health that 111 Lucknow four years ago I was coming from Hollyrude. There was a truck ahead of me I emelt something that was rotten and disagreeable, I could not stand it I drove past the truck that went through Lucknow and throughout the county a short time atter an epidemic occured in Lucknow and the county surround- ing. About four or five weeks ago I was in Lucknow I don't know the exact date, but Mr, Perlman, Merchant of Lucknow, maybe able to tell you. I just came out of a Restuarant after eating a bite, and I smelt something that was rotten I looked accross the rood in front of the Restuaraut and I saw a large truck loaded with dead borsos and cattle and they were cov- ered with large -Blow Flies. Tho very sight of it caused by stom- ach to collapse, I went to Mr, Perlin and mad complaint as this truck left Lucknow. I could smell the fumes of the dead animals for several minutes atter the truck had left, I understand that this truck load of dead rotten cattle were going to their d(,stinatton in hot weather over a • hundred miles through the Towns and Country. Now I want to ask the Board of Health a'question. Where does the shake and the spider got their poison in their stinger? What about the stinger of a large blow fly 'that had been feeding on old dead Carrion? What about these flys that leave this truck in our towns and country, if one of these flies sting some one what would bo the result? If the poison was strong enough in the fly's etinger to get into the circulation of the red corpsul it is liable to cause sudden death. There is something about the Board of Health that surprise mo, If there is coutageous disease in a house it is quaratined, yet a load of twelve or thirteen rotten animals, covered with filen in bot weather, can be trucked through clean country. I would like the Board, of Health in Lucknow to trace this rotten load of cattle, as to where they came from and what they died of, also where the truck driver got his medical authority to move such rotten carrion on the highway? I am 63 years old and when I was a ?boy, father hurried all the old diseas 'ed; animals right where they died. Since that time the generation has become wiser. They have made great inventions, machinery of all kinds, but I am much its favor of burying these animals where tttey die. If the bodies of the dead animals are valuable in hot weather at a high price, I think they should be conveyed in closed refrigerator trucks and frozen hard and kept away from flies,' I remain yours truly, Dave McCon- nell. IMP 0 LYTH STANDARD TODAY— IS NOT TOO SOON Hon, Wm, Mulock, Postmaster Gen- eral, for Canada, issues the following message to dependents in Canada of members of the Canadian Forces, in an earnest effort to enlist their co- operation In an "Early Mailing" of ,Christmas gifts for overseas delivery: Here is Mr. Mulock's message: "To -day is not too soon to begin mailing your Christmas parcels to our Forces overseas, Although per- haps it may seem to you that Christ- man is still a long way oft, it can- not be too strongly emphasized that in order that the gift you send a Soldier, Sailor or Alrman overseas may reach hint before Christmas Day, it should ,be mailed NO\V or not later than Novetuber 10th, With the number of our Forces overseas tremendously increased dur- ing the present year, you can under- stand that the volume of Christmas mails for overseas delivery this year is going to surpass all records, Aside, however, from the fact that this vol• ume will tax the Postal Service to .handle it, there are other reasons which should prompt you to mail to tour boys over there just as soon as .you can, so that they will not be (Us - !appointed on Christmas Day because their parcels were not delivered. IYou will bear in mind mind the lack of shipping opportunities under war- time conditions—congested Port fa- cilities—the blackouts—the handicaps under which the British Post Office CerVice is operating — dislocation of traffic following air attacks, etc. You will realize that all these difficulties, plus extra time required in "convoyed mail", add to the problems of provid- ing an expeditious Postal Service, Ob- viously, if everyone waits until the Ilast minute to mail their parcels, shipping space will not be available 'and delivery will be delayed. IThe remedy is largely ins your hands. May the Post Office and the Army Postal Corps count on you to do your share by mailing your Christmas gifts 'for overseas as early as you can? You may rely on the Postal Service to do ail in its power to safely deliver your parcel."

Part Of Salvage Sold Collections Are Vital To War Effort Says Ottawa All the Salvage, but the paper, collected a week ago Saturday by the Blyth Fire Deparment, wa.s sold on Monday. The sum realized was $29.75. Another collection for paper will be made before long. It 1s believed that enough might be gathered to complete a truck load, so save all your spare paper, and watch for the date of the next collection. A statement from Ottawa to the 'effect that it is expeced that a new high will be reached in Salvage col- lections this winter, ,should be of in- terest. I"We are looking forward to increas- ed collections all along the line," said i \i'illiam Knightley, director of the campaign against waste. "Canadians are becoming acutely conscious of the (value of salvage and of the need to conserve all materials. The winter !offers opportunities for gathering up secondary materials and preparing thorn for market, and we are going to capitalize on it." The director went on to relate sal- vage to Canadaian ratan -power. There is an impending shortage of labor, he said, and anything that is a short cut to the production of war materials is of distinct importance. Salvage, by rescuing (til sorts of secondary raw materials, is such a short cut. More Raga Wanted Another thing that is needed for larger accumulation is fags. "Out' ma- chines of war are insatiable," say factory inspectors. "They need even greater quantities of rags than the secondary textile industry has been supply ing them, Canadians who de- stroy rags around their Montes are unwittingly handicapping our war - weapon production." A .survey discloses the following facts. Rags are essential as wipers. 1Qt'ery nulling machine (foes its metal cutting in a special lubricant.

Rags are essential equipment to make this work perfect. • Scrap Iron Salvage Another special appeal is . being made to all industries using ferrous metal equipment, to release broken' or obsolete machinery and tools for war purposes. More scrap iron and steel is needled for war industries. Mr. Knightley was asked just what lams of war this basic commodity would make, and the national salvage director went through an amazing cat- alogue of war materials coining direct• ly from scrap. On the \Vest Coast a manufacturer of deisel engines uses a percentage of scrap for casting cylinder blocks. An Alberta rolling mill is making scrap into knee brsces, "I" bars, angle irons, stanchion rods, and ring rods, for ships. A Manitoba smelter con- verts industrial and fatale scrap into shell billets, which are processed by a steel mill into gleaming shells for 25 -pounders, howitzers, and anti -air craft guns. Ontario mills are equally active in this war work. Metal plates for ship's hulls, for tanks, for gun carriers, are being rolled out in ever-increasing quantities. Some of the scrap is going into machines—such as latches—which will in turn shake the machines of actual fighting. "'Thus waste into weapons", said the salvage director, "with a ven- geance! ,Canada's production of heavy war goods is reaching its peak. The use of scrap iron and steel will help to keep it there. It takes 3,000 tons of iron ore to make 1,000 tons of steel. If a smelter has 800 tons of scrap, then it only has to use 700 tons l of iron ore to get 1,000 tons of steel. Time is saved, elan power conserved and the processes shortened." RED CROSS APPEALING FOR KNITTERS An urgent appeal for Knitters is being sent out by the local Red Cross. The quota for the months of October, November and December are: Rags Are Sinews of War Rags are also vital In wood -working factories making airplane propellors. The painting and varnishing bays of those plants use great quantities of rags, to ensure perfect application of tre(tting coats. Glueing linen tips to these ,propellors is one of the many war jobs. Without rags the operators doing the work would be helpless, "It should be clear that rags are sinews of war", commented Mr. Knightley.

How Can I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. Flow can I make an effective filling for open cracks in floors? A, Thoroughly soak 'owe news- papers in paste made of one pound of flour, three quarts of water, and one tablespoonfu, of alum, thoroughly boiled and mixed. Make the final mixt' re about as thick as putty, and it will harden like papier inache. Q. How can I distinguish steel from iron? A. Take a very clean file and file over the flame of an alcohol lamp. If the filed piece Is made of steel, little burning and crackling sparks will be seen, If the piece consists of iron, the sparks will not crack' . Q, How can I clean ta.nished rhinestone pins and buckles? A. Allow the rhinestone pins and buckles to set in gasoline for about fifteen ininutes and then polish with a flannel cloth, Q. How can I treat a smashed finger to prevent an ugly discolor- ation of the nail? A. Hold the hand up for at least an hour so that the bio' drains out of the finger.

Spitfire Pilot Has Merry Tag Game Fought Five German Planes, Downed Two, Then Flopped In Channel A Spitfire pilot who played "tag" with five German planes over Bel- gium, Holland and France, is still laughing about tlio combat, al- though he had to spend 20 minutes in the English Channel. '1'wo :Hess• erschrnitts were destroyed and the others just gave up, The chase began near Dunkirk, .when the Germans pounced on the low-flying Spitfire. As the lead- ing German began to close in, the Spitfire pilot spotted a mass of high-tension wires and ducked un- der thein. The nearest Nazi, how- ever, bit the caber, and exploded. After crossing the Belgian Iron- tier into holland the pilot doubled back on his course, recrossed Bei - glum and Clew into France, Now and then bullets and cannon shells hit his craft, bt.t it retained its speed. Finally, their ammunition ex- hausted, t h r e e Messerschtn tts broke off the chase. With the odds now oven, the Spitfire pilot turned and "polished off" the remaining German just before his gas ran out. His plane flopped into the Channel where he was picked up by a rescue boat.

What Scice Is Doing DROUGHT -RESISTING WHEAT The Institute of Plant Pysiology of the Soviet Academy of Sciences treats wheat to adapt it for growth under unfavorable conditions, The seeds of Spring wheat, for example, are soaked in about one-third their weight of water, After the water has been absorbed they are raked over, piled up and left to dry, This operation is performed three tinges. For some varieties of wheat one treatment is enough, It is reported that when thus treated seeds which normally grow well only in humid regions will do well in dry regions. The yields rain from 10 to 100 per cent higher than for untreated wheat, In one experiment the difference was 32 per cent and in another 110.

GOLDEN TEXT — Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any pe•pole.—Prov, 14:34. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The book of Deuteronomy was written somewhere between 1400 and 1500 B.C. The passage which appears in our lesson from Isaiah may have been composed about 725 B.C. Tho prophecy of Habakkuk was written, probably, a century later, 625 13,C. Place—The book of Deuternoomy was undoubtedly written In the wilderness of Sinai, The book of Isaiah' was, for the most part, writ. ten in or near Jerusalem. Wo do not know where the book of Hab- akkuk was written, though it is a message to Israel, the Northern Kingdom. ' Three Blessings 32. "Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath oommandod you; ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left, 38. Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath Iommanded you, that ye may live, Ind that it may be well with you, Ind that ye may prolong your lays in the land which ye shall sess." It would seem that turn- ing to the left from the Word of pod would be to do less than Pod's Word commands; whereas mining to the right from the Word If God would be to adopt a system If fife more after the . attern of pme humanly conceived idea of )oliness, All life is a walk, What we want to be careful of is that we are walking in the way that llod has appointed. If God has ap- pointed a way in which Ile wants M to walk, then there is an in. Ilcation of God' love and interest k► our lives. Three things are bromised here: abundance of life, lessedness of heart, length of lays. To disobey the laws of God means the very opposite of these three blessings—the impoverish- ment of life, the restlessness and jisillusionment of the soul and kevity of life. 26. "Behold, I set before you this jay a blessing and a curse: 27. the blessing, if ye shall hearken into the commandments of Jeho- fah your God, which I command rou this day; 28. and the curse, II ye shall not hearken unto the lommandmonts of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the pay which I command you this lay, to go after other gods, which re have not known." Again and again In our lives we have the opportunity of choosing obedience er disobedience. The very fact that we have such a choice set before as implies, first that we have a moral nature which is capable of Itacerning the true from. the falai , the good from the evil. '1'o choose to obey the law that God has cum• manded us 18 inevitably to bring God's blessing upon our lives. To ahem to disobey God's law is with equal inevitability to bring a onrse upon life. Intemperance 1. "Woe to that crown of pride. Of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glori- ous beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine!" That intemperance was the prevail. Ing sin in the Kingdom of Israel le not impossible, It prevailed also to a great extent in the Kingdom of Judea, "A .man's reason, con. scioncer moral feelings, and physi. cal strength are all overcome by indulgence in wine and the entire man is prostrated by rt." 2. "13e. hold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will be cast down to the earth with the land. 3. Tho crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: 4. and tho fall - log flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat bully, shall be as the first ripe lig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seelh, while It is yet in his hand to eat it up. In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and s diadem of beauty, unto the real. dne of his people. G. And a spirit of justice to I-Iim that sitteth in judgment, and strength to thein that turn back the battle at the gate." Nothing is so short-lived u gratification of appetite, It is not only that each act lasts Int for a moment, but also that past gratifications leave no sort of sol- ace to the appetite behind them; whereas past acquirements of` deeds of goodness are a perpetual joy as well as the foundation of the present, There is something essent(ally isolated in each act of sensuous delight. No man can by so willing recall the taste of eaten food, nor slake his thirst by re- membrance of former draughts. But each such gratification 'is done when it is done, and there is an end of Its power to gratify. 12. "Woe to hint that huildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!"

War Savings Drive Will Begin Soon Tuned to •a "war weapons" theme a .nation-wide campaign to obtain increased War Savings subscriptions has been launched in three western cities and with- in the next month will spread over the whole of Canada, offi- cials of the National War Savings committee said recently. Up to the end of September the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certificates this year yielded the treasury $89,373,997. The cam- paign now starting is the first special drive launched since Janu- ary and February of last year. Certificates purchased by pay- roll deductions constitute about 70 per cent of the present re- turns. The aim is to increase these, as well as to increase the number of casual purchases and the number of purchases by means of bank pledges. 1 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William I Ferguson 1 1 % NAME V.OTTEN ROW," GIVEN A FAMOUS STRE..

WHO INVENTED ..�.�_.__.. _ BARBED WIRE, POP Canada Sets Up Curb on Strikes • Strikes Called By Minorities Are Declared Illegal Canada has erected new barriers against dislocation of war Indus. tries through unnecessary strikes, By the new Order•in-Council an- nounced recently, strikes called by minorities are declared illegal Previous regulations have for. bidden workers to lay down tools until boards of conciliation have investigated their claims. '1 e new regulations carry the prohibition further. After the findings of the board of conciliation In any dispute have been placed in the hands of the Government and the contending parties, a strike still nay not be er".d until three conditions are fulfilled, First, the employees must give notice to the Minister of Labor that they contemplate a strike, Second, a general vote must be taken of the employ,,s concern under the supervision of the De- partment of Labor and subject to regulations imposed by the Minis- ter. 'Third, a majority of the em• ployees concerned must vote for the strike, The Departmen' . Aber intends that when a strike is discussed any one who wishes may advance his opinion. There have been cases, the Minister of Labor Norman Mc- Larty states, where as few as 60 men have arranged the strike poi - icy for a whole plant's employees of 3,000 to 4,000, No measures were taken to see it the decision to strike really rep- resented the opinion of a majority of the men affected. New strike legislation provides a penalty of $600, or not more than 12 months imprisonment, or both, for anyone striking or inciting to strike in contravention of the r.ew regulations. Haste Urged With Parcels Time to Prepare Those to be Expressed To Men Overseas Express agency officials are ad- vising relatives of men overseas to get Christmas parcels away within the next two weeks 'so that pre - Christmas delivery may be made, Though Christmas may seem somewhat distant at the present moment, it is by no means too early to start preparing the gift packages now, it is pointed out, particularly as shipping space for other than essential goods is strict- ly limited. Parcels leaving within the next two weeks will be nicely timed and will avoid possible diH• appointment. Gift parcels by Canadian Express for the troops, other than packages oontaining foodstuffs, may he ship- ped irrespective of weight, but par- cels of foodstuffs must not exceed 16 pounds gross weight. The ship- ment of perishable foods should be carefully avoided as there 1s no cold storage space available on the steamers. Cash Gifts Canadians wishing to send casb gifts to the fighting forces overseas may obtain express money orders up to a limit 0f 25 pounds sterling a month, while money to the sante limit can bo sent by cable at very reasonable cost, it is announced. Tho chief advantage of sending money by cable is that payment is made within several days as against several weeks by ordinary mailing methods, There is also no risk of loss at sea, or by other means, Money remittances to the limit of 26 pounds sterling a month can also bo sent to civilians in the United Kingdom to whom other gifts are prohibited under present day regulations, except to the ex - tont of five pounds weight by par- cel post, Many Canadians do not at present realize this, it is ex- plained.

VOICE OF THE PRESS SEA HARVEST When we think of our potenti- alities for feeding the Empire, we should not forget our fisheries. Reports that some 65,000 men in Canada are still engaged in this industry stress the importance, which has grown even greater since the war began, of this source of food. Here is a field in which we excel. On both our ocean coasts are great supplies of fish, healthful and nourishing, and to be had for the effort of taking them fro= the water. This is no mea'~ effera of course, and our fisherWe: acre among our hardiest en:1 se : citizens, They have always face: the dangers of rough waters ar.: winds and today they cheerfully go out to meet still another men- ace, which is a very real one, be- cause enemy air and naval craft bar demonstrated that they are only too eager to prey on the 1sh- ing boats. Our men, however, carry on, and they continue to contribute impor- tantly to our great food produc- tion. —Windsor Daily Star.

GOOD NEIGHBORS It is in the rural districts that one appreciates the value of good neighbors. The family "next door" may live a mile away but the rural dweller knows that they stand ready to lend a helping hand in any emergency. They will be there to comfort one in bereavement, to lend kindly aid In the sick -room, to lend a willing hand at the sew- ing bee or the harvest. One mny not have inany friends or neigh- bors in the country, but they are tried and true, The happiest mo. ments of farm lite are those spent in the company of the folks trout the next farm or the next concr.i• cion, A farmer once explained his; philosophy of life: "I have always lived in the country. I have a goon farm, a contented wife and good neighbors. My neighbors aro my best friends. 1 know that when 1 ant in need they will help ale, They have stood by me in the fast, and I have stood by them. I still have neighbors; will still have plenty.

THE WAR • WEEK — Commentary on Current Events Battle Of The Road To Moscow One Of The Mightiest In History "This is a sombre hour, dark with fate. Russia faces the great- est gathering of savage power the world has ever known, Finland, Rumania, Hungary, Italy and Ger- many all over, banded together in murder, theft and arson, sneaking through the world, conquering and torturing one nation after another, until all mankind is broken and bowed in a martyrdom unparallel- ed in history, Now Russia's armies aro In dire peril, but the morale of their people is unbroken. There is a strong determination that cannot be trampled down, an army of men united under ono banner with ability to defend themselves and conquer their enemies. We have before us the spectacle of splendid sacrifice, homes blasted, hearth- stones torn up, farms devastated. We will forego food from abroad if the ships are needed for Russia. Shadows we will endure with thein and sunshine we will share with them, Stalin must be sustained, The Soviet Union must be en- abled to enter the spring cam- paign with adequate supplies of all munitions of war, over every- thing, verything, tanks, anti-tank guns, air- craft and anti-aircraft guns, These are the promises we made to Stalin in Moscow in your name. These are the pledges that we shall carry out!" So spoke Lord Beaverbrook in reporting on the recent Anglo- American aid -to -Russia mission iii Moscow, Thrust On Moscow Last week Moscow was the goal of the heaviest assault of the 16 - weeks -old Russo -German w a r. What Adolf Hitler had proclaimed as "an operation of gigientic pro- portions" was hammering colossal blows at the capital's defenses of men, machines and fortifications. In a campaign described as the "mightiest battle in history," some 9,000,000 men were locked in a sanguinary conflict along a 2,000 - mile front In a drive on Moscow. On the approaches to the capital 3,000,000 Germans were said to be pitted against a slightly less num- erous army of defenders, Over an undulating terrain of forest and plain, muddled by rain and snow, through gutted towns and villages, swept the inferno of mechanized war. Stakes of War The stakes were high. In a "sec- ret" order to his troops just be- fore the Moscow attack was launched on Oct, 8, the Fuehrer had called for "a last mighty blow that shall crush this opponent be- fore Winter sets in." In these words observers saw a desperate gamble by the German High Com- mand for a decisive victory before subfreezing weather and deep snows bogged down operations on the Russian front. The main ele- ments of such a victory, it seemed clear, would be: (1) destruction of the Russian force before Mos- cow, which Berlin communiques described as the "last" organized unit of the Red Army; and (2) cap- ture of the capital itself; such a success, it was hoped, would un- dermine Russian morale and secure Nazi control over the hub of Soy - let governmental machinery. Behind the immediate German objectives lay the larger ones of MEN ARE PLACED BY RADIO COLLEGE Demands for radio men have resulted in the Radio College of Canada supplying one largo New York corporation with tour different groups of graduates, and the college is now lining up its fifth assigninmt, This meant that to several graduating classes of the Radio College of Canada, long before examination time, lucrative Mar• Ine positions have been offered those desiring to go to sea, The men chosen for the New York Corporation are placed on the company's pay roll immediately at $80 per month, and as soon as they sign their articles they aro paid T160 per month, American funds, The graduates eelected are down to New York from Canada, with nil ,expenses paid. Tho college states that there are also many opportunities with government services throughout Canada for which starting rate is $110 per month, REG'LAR FELLERS—Raw! Raw! Raw! r HMMM ' IF THE REG'LAR FELLERS DON'T WANT ME ON THEIR TEAM •I WONT EVEN WATCH 'EM PLAY. THEY CAN'T GIVE ME THE RUN-AROUND! •' S IS THAT YOU, PINHEAD? RUSH RIGHT OVER HERE PRONTO! THE BIG GAME IS ABOUT TO START! the Russian campaign, Defeat of the armies of Joseph Stalin would free Hitler for a full military drive against Britain in the West. Seiz- ure of Soviet resources would give the Reich the materials to beat the British blockade and keep ahead of the Anglo-American armament effort, On the other hand, a Nazi failure, plight mark the war's turn- ing point, toward ultimate German exhaustion and defeat, Advances Recently Halted When the German armies hurled onward into Russia Inst June the hardest thrust was aimed at Mos- cow, Smolensk, the traditional gateway to the Russian capital through which Napoleon's soldiers passed in 1812, fell in early Aug- ust. Somewhere beyond that bomb - blasted, burned city—roughly 300 miles from the German frontier and still 200 miles from Moscow— the blitz was blunted. Strong Rus- sian counter-attacks held, then roll- ed back the Panzer forward unite, The Germans increased the pressure on the north and south flanks of the battleground. A sweep up the Baltic shorn was directed at Leningrad, the Soviet's 'second city, its foremost Baltic port, a vital shipbuilding and factory con - ter, The advance was halted last month by fierce resistance on the city's outskirts, a resistance re- ported last week to be pushing back the Nazi "besiegers." Most impressive of Nazi gains were those registered on the south- ern wing, in the Ukraine, the rich farming, mining and industrial region publicly coveted by Hitler, Having taken Kiev, the Soviet's third largest city, having overrun the land west of the Dnieper and penetrated to the Crimea and the threshold of the Donets basin, Nazi forces in the Ukraine appear- ed to be poised for a further move toward the strategic city of Khar- kov and the Caucasian oil fields. Action in this vital sector was overshadowed by the renewed push toward Moscow, A People's War That battle along the highway to Moscow is one of the most am- azing conflicts of history, The Ger- • man soldiers—youths who have been trained to the fine edge of athletes — are sacrificing them- selves with that courage which al- ways has characterized the race, The perfection' of the invading war -machine is amazing, Even more amazing is the fact that it can be stopped, And the manner of its present holding is an epic, for we find civilians now fighting side by side with their soldiers in defense of country and the soil they love. The Germans assert that the Russian war is virtually over—that the Rede already are crushed, It may be, indeed, that the Musco- vites have been so weakened that they are on the verge of collapse, Only time will demonstrate that. Jt is not believed, however, that the Reds are beaten, They are ex- pected to suffer further reverses. ;Moscow may fall, and the whole Russian line may be driven hack even behind the mighty defenses of the Ural Mountain chain. But the only thing that might knock them clear nut of the war, is a collapse of morale. It would he difficult to find any signs of weakening morale in a Red fight- ing front In which civilians— humble folk who know nothing of the part of war and never have been fan' from the little farms where they were born—are facing onslaughts which are hard even for the professional soldier to face. Russia Draws On Reserve The Russians report they are drawing on their great reserve In inan-power to oase the position on the central front. '!'hese troops cannot be expected to have the weight of the fully trained vet- erans already in the line, but they will ease the Red situation con- siderably, There are millions more where they come from, as the Soviet re• cently called up the military class of 1922—nineteen year olds—tor military service. At the same time there was inaugurated the tint. versal compulsory military train- ing program which contemplates I KNEW ITS THEY JEST CAN'T GET ALONG WITHOUT ME! THE BIG STUFFS! NOW TO BE THE VAYi BIG HERO: ,� • the largest peoples' army in his- tory, involving all men from 16 to 60, This doesn't sound as though the Russians were finished. As a mat- ter of fact the Germans themselves appear to have doubts since an authoritative source in Berlin re- cently acknowledged that the Reds might be able to set up new forces; during the winter. That would mean a two -front war for Hitler. It Is important not to overlook the Japanese, They aro watching the German progress intently, There can bo small doubt that. Hitler Is doing his utmost in show: mansliip and diplomacy tend strong- arm pressure to bring the Nip- ponese into conflict with Britain, America or Russia.. Tokyo doesn't warm up to the idea of war with the U. S. A, or England but col- lapse of the Russian trent might easily result in a Japanese attacic on Siberia. There are 823,000,000 undefeated citizens of the British Common- wealth, the United States and Rus- sia who, with China's 45$,000,000, are working to bring about the de- feat of Iiitlerism. Is it any wonder that Japan hesitates to cast in her lot with Hitler against that form- idable array of plan power and the resources of their mighty coun- tries? The Viking Spirit They tell the story in Norway about a boy who was looking at the famous Viking ship in the Outdoor Museum at Bygd near Oslo when some German officers came in to look around. They were much impressed by the well- preserved old craft and emitted many n "Wunderbar!" and "Don- nerwetter!" "So you like our Viking ship, do you?" queried the lad. "Yes, it is magnificent." "Well, we used to take Eng- land every Spring with such boats."

Elise meets Mark at the office and drives home with him, criticizing Lucy all the way. Mark !caves her at her door and drives on, half amused, half disgusted. CHAPTER 19 I-l:e turned in at his own gates feeling as if ho had escaped from something. I -Ie found Shirley, wrap. ped In 111e white bath coat, just getting into her car, Lucy and Val. erie stood together, In their swine ming suits, by the running board, Valerie cried out when she saw him, and ran to lass him, stand• lug carefully bowed, not to get him wet. "Oh—we missed you!" she said. "What do you mean, hissed?" he laughed. "Compared to the way I missed you, you're a rank out- sider!" "You see," she told Lucy, "I told you he warted to be here and couldn't." "Did I!" he said, I -Lo held out a hand each to Shirley and Lucy. It was marvelous to be back where he could breathe. "I only pretended to conte for swimming," said Shirley. IIe jumped in beside Shirley now, and drove with her down to his gates, He had gathered in some mysterious way that she had some- thing more to say to Hine. Shirley drew up just this side of the lodge, shat off the engine, and sat looking at him, He looked back, his eyes full of admiration, 1 -Ie found he was suddenly un. troubled by whatever she was going to tell him. "I gathered there wits something on your mind," lie said lazily. "Nothing important." He relaxed more completely, Whatever it was, he was not in for another lecture on the properties. "I didn't want to speak before Valerie, in case you didn't approve of what I was going to say." 'Wonderous wise—you, I mean," he said softly, Shirley smiled at him, "Rattler stupid, really. however -- I just want to give a little party for her, And Lucy too, of course, if she cares for anything so juvenile. That girl's a wonder, by the way." "I'm glad you think so," said Mark, lIe wondered if she knew how glad.

She lov- ed to dance, and the prospect of going off alone just to be amused was stupendous, She relayed Shit• ley's invitation to Lucy, who wise. ly declined it, Lucy telephoned Shirley when Valerie was out of hearing, "You're sweet to ask me," she said, "but I think I shan't come. You'll understand how it Is, I've been longing for her to know children her own age. But I didn't know just how to go about it," "I wish you'd told ale," Shirley's voice came bacic warmly, "I'd love to help, whenever I can, Maybe you'll have lunch with 1110 some day soon, There are some things I !night be able to toll you—" Something in her tone made Lucy agree eagerly. "I'd love it," she said. "Call ale when you want 111e, And do make it soon," Valerie went off in state, driven by Catlet. She looked rather like a pale pink cloud in iter flesh - colored dancing frock, with a tiny string of pearls about her throat, Alone With Mark It wasn't until Chiltern auuounc' ed dinner that Lucy realized she was sitting down to her first meal alone with Mark, It was early Sep- tember, and summer was still in the air, Lucy wore white, and her eyes were dark under the gold of her hair, It was the purest gold Mark had ever seen, Neither platinum nor honye, but the color of an old burnished coin. It lily in smooth waves against her little head, and !lark found himself suddenly long- ing to touch it, Tho gold of Ellen's hair had been pale and exquisite, and her eyes a curious, almost purple blue, But the gold on' this girl's Tread was like a crown, Lucy rested him just because silo had missed beauty by the mer- est fraction. Her skin was delicate and white, and the contrast of her eyes and hair would always set her a littlo apart, Taken one by one, her features were charming, As. sombled, they somehow lacked the intangible quality of beauty, ."The modern spirit, I suppose you would call it," said Mrs, Bate wood to Chiltern. Ho had just car• vied the big silver tray with its shinning coffee service out to the terrace, where Mark and Lucy re. laxed in long chairs of split bane boo, and watched the tiny cresent of the moon. "Tho world's gone on since your time and aline, if that's what you mean,' agreed Chiltern amiably. Ho knew quite well that she was registering disapproval of affairs on the terrace, And he know she dared not voice then' more ex- plicitly without encouragement from 111m, which she would never get. So he smiled blandly and went back to see if there was something more he could do for Mark and Lucy. - Life An interlude There was, for they both declin- ed a second cup of coffee; and presently he went back to Mrs, Ballwood; carrying the tray before him l!ko a sort of shining shield, "A beautiful night," he said sen- timentally. "Sets one to thinking of all sorts of things, Youth, and summer—" , "Ilunipll!" said Mrs, Ballwood, Mark looked across to where Lucy rested, arils behind her gold- en head, She looked hardly more than the wraith of a girl, for they had turned off the terrace lights, and there was only tho faint gleam of the little moon, and the glimmer of low -hung innumerable stars., Scents drifted up to them with every slightest stirring of air, The almost unearthly perfume of roses, and the fragrance of late -blooming honeysuckle floated about •then. It calve over Lucy with a sud- den stab, that site would sometime leave all th'i for that drab world where there were bills to pay and work to do, Nothing that she did at present was the least like work. Life was just n sort of unbelievable interlude where beauty and kind- ness were like the ah' they breath- ed. She was delightfully conscious of Mark, hitt only as an accompani- ment to her thoughts. So she start- ed. when he got up and dropped down on a stool beside her chair. "Bored?" he asked. It was a dif. ferent voice from the family -circle one he used every clay, She looked at Niue in amazement. "Bored?" she o c h o e d. She thought she could hardly have tin• dertsood nano, "Well -1 just wondered. There 810 always the v111age movies, you know." "If you think 1 could even pre- tend to want movies, with all the pictures the night makes in this gorgeou> garden, you lona drink I'm a good actor," she said. "I think you're a bad actor.

The idea of ghosts, goblins, bla1ck cats and witches wandering about doesn't seem to appeal to or even frighten adults but the kids love to scare themselves and each other on this Make-believe night. Even if the older children don't take the horrors of Hallow- e'en seriously, they do like to dress up in weird costumes and celebrate the occasion with a party. Unless parents arrange some sort of a "do" at home for the children of all ages, they are like- ly to wander around the streets getting into various brands of mis- chief. So having a Monne party where the youngsters tan be super- vised, is well worth the extra time and work of arranging a party and preparing refreshments. Games for a Ilallowe'en party are so standardized that they are no prob. lem. Bobbing for apples is a "roust" in the games line as is also this delicious chocolate ca .0 iu the re- freshment line. It is topped with an orange frosting to harmonize with the Hallowe'en color scheme. CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 14 cup butter or other shortening 1 cup sugar 2 squares unsweetened Choc• elate, melted 1 egg well beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla % cup milk Sift flour once, me sure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times.

Labor Training Shows Increase Canada, dipping deep into its reserves of labor to main increas- ingly busy factories, also has ex- tended labor -training programs to an extent unknown in the past, Labor Department officials said. War emergency training pro- gram reports that 33,003 persons took training from April 1 to Aug. 3, The 93 schools and training centres reported 10,063 were ac- tually in training on Aug, 1. Large numbers of those in the lower age groups of the classes are young men who have been rejected for enlistment, Selection officers have instructions to avoid admitting to classes men of military age except those reject- ed. The Hired Man Is On Way Out These college economists aro always up to some startling dis- covery. Now, out of Michigan State College, conies the surmise that the hired man, once the back -bone of the nation's farms, is on the way out. Tho reasons are given as mechanized equipment, the draft and the luring away of farm help by higher wages in the cities. If the time ever comes when there are no more hired men on our farms it will be too bad. The hired 'man, at his best, was a bu- colic Admirable Crichton. Ho was a hostler, farrier, milker, vetorinar- Ian, horticulturist, poultry -ratan, sheep shearer, woodchopper, ob• stetrician for ewes, plowman, die- titian and f1111 of advice and opin- ions (some of them sensible, on all of earth's problems, A Draftee's Prayer Grant this, 0 God, that 1 might be Of service to my land, And that I serve it for a year With heart, and head, and hand.
