Dr. Preveden after thanking the gathering for the honour conferred on him said that he would explain just why he was in Schumacher at this time, though a couple of years ago he had not known there was such a comâ€" munity. Some years before the last war, he said, a large number of the Croatian people had migrated to the United States and Canada, as they had gone to other lands. They sufâ€" fered from the trouble common to Europe that there was overâ€"population for had gone to other lands.

The idea was simply to work here long enough to cover the mortzgage in the old land and to return there. Later, there had developed the love of the way of life on this side of the ocean and the desire to build perâ€" manent homes here. Studying the situation or this continent among the Croatian people, Dr. Preveden said that he felt that the people had not fully grasped their opportunities. They had all sorts of advantages here that were beyvond them in their own land. Chief among them was educaâ€" tion. He had urged them to profit to the limit from the American and Canadian systems of free education and moderate cost of university trainâ€" ing.

British "V" Sign for Victory Shown All Over Europe Yesterday in Enemy Terriâ€" tory the Sign Appeared in Many Unexpected Placest An unknown Britisher whose voice is familiar to radio listeners in the Old Country, but who is known only as "Col. V. Briton," is conducting what is known as the "V. for Victory‘" camâ€" paign. Using half a dozen or more languages, including German, French, Norwegian. Czechoâ€"Slovakian, he has broadcast a message to all enslaved people of Naziâ€"ridden lands to use the "V" for Victory and for freedom. The Morse signal for "V"â€"three dots and a dash is also used. People in all the countries ~overâ€"run by the German gangsters have been asked to use the "V" in any and every way they can to signify that they are still unconâ€" quered and are simply waiting the time until Britain wins the. victory..which will mean their freedom.> The response has been beyond all.expectations.‘Yesâ€" terday was the special day for the. "V" sign and it appeared everywhere all over Europe. â€" even in Germany. It was chalked on walls, scrawled on the sidewalks, placed on churches, stores, houses, everywhere. Forks in restaurâ€" ants were bent to make a "V." It was sounded and sung. It was even writâ€" ten in tar on German motor cars and war vehicles, Stations and public buildings were decorated with "V" and everybody appeared to know what it signified. It was even placed on the backs of German soldiers, this being accomplished by chalking the hands with a "V‘" and then patting the solâ€" dier on the back. The Germans are worried over the scheme and are doing everything to circumvent itâ€"even to trying to copy the game. But Germany already showed its fear of the plan by arresting people by the thousands on suspicion of being connected with the spreading of the "V" game. Radio broadcasts last night said that over 6,000 were arrested in Czechoâ€"Slovakia for suspected connection or sympathy with the "V" signs. At first thought, this "V" plan would not appear very impressive, but the .results appear to justify it, for not only has it worried the Germans to a remarkable degree, but it seems also to have inspired the enslaved peoples of Europe to renewed opposition to the invaders and to new methods of sabotage and resistance. According to word from Toronto last weekâ€"end preparations are going along well for the production of refractory Expect North Clay Deposits Will be in Production Soon Temporary Buildings to be Erected at Smoky Falls. If this venture proves suecessful there is reason to believe that the North will have another important" inâ€" dustry, there being several known clay deposits in the North well worth deâ€" veloping and others that are well worth investigating at least.

The Russians are said to be employâ€" ing tactics that were started by the British in the Battle of Crete, They dig trenches and stay in them while the heavy mechanized army passes over. After the mechanized army is past them they emerge to slaughter the German infantry. It is more or less a form of suicide because the solâ€" diers trapped in the middle of the German army have no chance to get out. Latest Moscow reports say that the Germans are driving furiously to get their stalled blitz started again at three points along the Stalin line. Polâ€" otsk, Nevel and the Smolensk sectors of the Moscow front are said to be the scenes of some tremendous battles. The Novograd and Volynsk area of the Kiev front is also said to be under heavy fire. The Russian Air Force reports that in their latest operations they have shot down thirtyâ€"one German planes while losing only six of their own. Communiques, however, fail to state where these operations took place. The Russian Air Force is credited with practically ruining some of the ports in Rumania in the past few days. To offset the Russian news, the Berâ€" lin reports say that operations deâ€" signed to annihilate the many circled groups of Russians are proceeding acâ€" cording to plans. This news was said to have been issued headquarters. The German, Rumanâ€" ian and Hungarian troops are said to be pursuing the beaten enemy at the southern end of the front. More of the hysteric reports from Berlin say that the Nazi forces have annihilated an entire Russiau dlvlsmn in the fighting around Mogilevy on the Dneiper river about 80 miles southâ€" west of Smolensk. Somebody in the German propaâ€" ganda department has slipped. up, badly.. Last week the Nazis ‘declared that they had captured;Smolensk and had cleaned up the territory right up to the city. This morning they reportâ€" ed a major battle along the IDmeiper river 80 miles southwest of the city of Smolensk. None of the German reâ€" ports have intimated that they have been pushed back at any point at any time but they are now fighting 80 miles south of the spot where they claimed to be last week. The Germanâ€"occupied coast of France came in for a heavy raid by the Royal Air Force last night and this morning, according to reports from London. Swarms of British planes were seen racing over the Straits of Dover to make one of the greatest daylight raids of the war on the French coast. During the night the bomber command made a big vaid on the Rhineland, heavily bombing the docks at Rotterdam. The British also carried out a fiveâ€"hour raid on the French coast last night. Berlin reports say that British bombâ€" ers, escorted by fighters, tried to fly over Germanâ€"held France this mornâ€" ing but were forced back by German pursuit planes. They also report that German bombers carried out an atâ€" tack on British harbour works and air«â€" fields last night and were. successful in sinking two merchantmen totalling 11,000 tons. The R.A.F. announced more raids on Italy last night with aâ€"big raid on Naples this morning. Naples was also heavily bombed by the RAF. last week,. j ; Pacific Coast.
