é Talking is like Playing on the harp; there is as much in laying the hands on the strings to stop their vibration as in twanging themn to bring out their music. -Oliver Wendell Hiolmes.

Glass, however, was in use more than 3,000 years B.C., glass beads bav- ing been found in Egyptfan tombs of that period. It was also re- ported tbat certain lens shaped pieces of glass were also found at the same time. Who first tbought of themn and used tbemn to advantage? Some credit is given to a Monk named Di Spina, wbo died in Pisa in 1313 and by others, to a Monk called Amati wbo died at Florence in 1317. An Arab writ- er called Alhazen, who flourished in the eleventb century and also Sir Roger Bacon referred from time to time to spectacles.

(Contributed by Manitoba Subscriber) Most any election needs thoughtful reflection On whom you should vote for, and why; God bless this Dominion, where each one's opinion Is voiced without f ear fromn a spy. Yes-sounding audacious and even pugnaclous While venting my spleen in the figbt, Ail cards on the taofle-who swallows the fable That C. C. F. candidates write? Did they figbt inflation, thus aid our salvation? TiÉe answer is certainly, "NO" While reading their rabble anýd hearing their babble Class hatred is stirred to a glow. Witb Coldwell as leader, remember Dear Reader Your Vict'ry Loan interest is shot By boans tbrougb compulsion: you'll dodge a convulsion By spiking that C. C. F. Plot. Today's weirdest comic-"JUST AID ECONOMIC". That's Coldwell's own '39 cry; Ail uniormed forces were granted divorces From overseas service to try. There's nothing in reason, in logic or season Supporting their policiet' crust They're no longer farmers-they've turned labor charmera And labor they'll fool or go bust. The farmer would pay more but neyer could say more In protest, while getting much less, When labor is handed mucb less than demanded They'l1 work overtime for redress. With axes they polish they soon would abolish Responsible Government modes; The "pressure group" traffic, with voice phonographic Would pave, through those "cbore-boys," their roads. With force a la Prussian on lines a la Russian Agriculture producers they'll nail, Wealth production macbinery tbey'll fold up like scenery Social Ownersbîp then must prevail. Big Business they'll tbrottle and seal in a bottle Private enterprise quickly they'll choke; While living costs rocket tbey'll fi their own pocket And let their electors go broke. Paradexical taîkers and paranoid squawkers They threaten monopolies' spleens Witb much repetition but no definition 0f what a monopoly means. Then ail the Jack Horners can sit in their corners Just minus their Cbristmas-tide pie; With thumbs to their noses-all thorns and no roses When Coldwell says, "DO-or else-DIE." So, Hi-diddle-diddle-unemployment's a riddle Just now on a bright boneymoon; They'll have no solution except elocution Wben up goes the Axis Balloon. It's plain and emphatic tbey're not Democratic Their price-ceiling skyward will stay; With tbings newly fashioned tbey ougbt to be rationed And sold on a 'black' market day. So, let's not be suckers like aIl Tommy Tuokers In days when for supper we sang Let ballots be bullets to slay Coldwell's pullets And Blitzkrieg his C. C. F. gang. Alternate Stanzas With tongs and with hammer for power tbey clamor To slaugbter the strong and the weak; With temper tbey tamper and progress they~ hamper Their platform is naugbt l'ut a freak. The good "old line" parties got rid of these smarties Which made tbem as sore as a boil; They died of infection from ancient elections Wbile drilling witbout striking oul. In ways quite Germanic and bydrocyanic They poison the mind-not astute; While quoting the Bible tbey'll deal you a libel And serve up the truth most dilute. Beware o! the danger of dogs in a manger, You may get a tooth in the nose, Free speech tbey will strangle and otherwise mangle And mortgage your life-then foreclose. Your senses olfactive should make you quite active In ferreting C. C. F. mice; Your "X" as you stick it on your voting ticket Should read, "'Mr. Coldwell-NO DICE." N Ews Obituary MRS. JOHN D.

VICTORY LOAN STUNT Ted Reeve, now overseas, wno used to be a star "sports* and commentary" writer on the To- ronto Telegram would bave been in bis element in Bowmanville last week. A startling message was found on tbe doorstep of nearly every bouse, under the milk bottle, early in the morning. It was printed on yellow paper, boldface, and said: "Bittie, Kaufen Sie nicht ein Band for Sieg," and it was signed, Adolph Hitler. Police and reporters were caîl- ed to solve the mystery but not one could determine the ian- guage let alone decipher tbe message. It was assumed a Hun agent was loose in the district. when someone decided Hitler really signed it. There was a frantic scurrying for rusty mnus- kets and blood bounds to track down the nocturnal sneak. A gang gathered, work was neglected, and tbe time lost would have bought tbree Victory Bonds. Tben someone thougbt o! Prin- cipal Lou Dippeli and he trans- lated over tbe phone: 'Please do not boy a Victory Bond" and furtber enquiry revealed that some brigbt young tbing at Loan Headquarters bad tbought up tbe stunt and the milk delivery man was asked to qistribute the guf!. So tbe mysterjý was solved. Ted Reeve wrote a book once called "Uncle Nutzy," about a sort o! simpleton off his trolly. So after a bal! day of your reporter's time tracking down the genesis o! this stunt it appears there is roomn for another story o! the Uncle Nutzy variety. Public re- action generally was divided. Haîf the people were mildly amused or downrigbt impatient. The re- mainder were distinctly angereçi that their tax money sbould be 50 squandered. Sucb tbings are the bysterics o! wartime.
