This is no more than a forecast written, set in type and printed while the voting is still’under way. Anyone who would ask any more of a newspaper doesn‘t deserve to have his or her favourite candidate elected. While it may appear as something creditable to accurately state the facts hours before the event, it may be noted that this forecast is really days, not hours, old. It was on Friday last that a memâ€" ber of the staff of The Advance gathered the inâ€" formation from the most authentic sources. First, he happened to meet Mr. S. C. Platus, K.C., a prominent Liberal. "How is the election going?" The Advance reâ€" presentative asked. "It‘s in the bag!" was the response. "There isn‘t a shadow of doubt but that Emile Brunette will be elected by a good majority." It was respectfuilly pointed out that any majority It is one thing to tell the people how they ought to vote. It is quite a different proposition to atâ€" tempt to foretell even a few hours ahead how they actually will vote. This editorial is written on Wednesday morning, with the voting scarcely beâ€" gun, yet it will prosent the actual result of the elecâ€" tion in this riding to those who know how to read it aright. \ TIMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association:; Ontarioâ€" Quebee Newspaper Association ® MN «t P P P P P P AP PA DL PAAA LAAA ALP L AL PA P L PP While most of the people look upon the Nazis as the world‘s chief enemies, the fact is that at the moment Japan and Italyâ€"and particularly Italy â€"â€"are in the worse position. Germany can fight on, at least for a time, but Japan and Italyâ€"and particularly Italyâ€"â€"have euchred themselves into such a position that it seems senseless to fight on and impossible to auit. They both thought at one time that they had the world by the tail. Now they find they have only the bull by the tail.

Ralph ~the winner, ‘"It‘s in the bas!" \ One of the needed reforms of the present day is the realization by governments that in justice and equity they are subject to the same responsibilities that apply to individvals and to other corporations. Perhaps, it is a hangover from the days when there was belief in the divine right of kings, but the attiâ€" ture of governments in the matter of responsibility for the action of their paid agents is most unfair. Take the case of discharged soldiers as an examâ€" ple. A man joins the armed forces, duly passing ali the medical and other tests, and after some time of service is found to be unfit for further serâ€" vice. He is discharged from the service and the tendency of the government is to disavow all resâ€" ponsibility for the condition in which the unforâ€" tunate man may firnd himself. The decision of the‘ authorities seems invariably, to be that the condiâ€" tion is a prewar disability that the man knew about and deliberately concealed it. The truth seems to be that some men Geceive themselves rather than the authorities, in their anxiety to serve their country. They make light of what they consider minor troubles in their ardent desire to enter or reâ€"enter the service. There are very few cases of actual deception or fraud in the matter. The chief offence of these men is their enthusiasm for serâ€" vice. It is the duty of the doctors and other offiâ€" cers to guard the interests of the men and the country in the matter of disabilities. The doctors and other officers are the duly accredited agents of the government. In ordinary business, indiviâ€" duals and firms are properly forced by law to acâ€" cept full responsibility for the acts of their paid agents. Why should government agents be imâ€" mune from this responsibility? There are known cases where applicants for one or other of the services have called attention of the examining physicians to some disability, and the applicant has been passed, only later to be discharged, and the fault thrown back on the applicant. It is a fact beyond dispute that present day training is so severe that any defect is sure to be aggravated by the service. In the great majority of cases the man on service is utterly unaware of any déefect or weakness. The strenuous training, however, will undoubtedly make any disability apparent sooner or later. To claim than that the disability is the fault of the man on service and to suggest that he should be penalized for its concealment is the height of injustice. Why should a service man be expected to detect a weakness, defect or disease that the trained and qualified examiner is not able to discover? In the majority of cases, the flaw may not be evident even to the most skilled examiner until the severity of the training and conditions develop the weakness. Why penalize the man in such a case. Surely it is the fact of the case that the final condition of the man is due wholly and solely to his war services. Without those services there would have been no disability. In any event the examiners (duly authorized agents for the government)} passed the applicant, and so full reâ€" sponsibility for the acts and expressed opinions of these agents must be placed at the door of the government. There seems no other fair and logiâ€" cal course. There should be such an agitation among the people in general that the government will be forced to accept this principle (recognized in all other departments of business and affairs) that individuals and firms are directly responsible for the action, or lack of action of duly authorized agents. j i cce f Still stands the motto of the King: "Put into your task whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unshakâ€" en. Let us go forward to that task as one man a smile on our lips and our heads held high and with God‘s help we shall not fail."

That has not unduly troubled the Canadians. The Canaâ€" dians have everything at hand to protect themâ€" selves. They have plenty of Italian prisoners for hand and being on the ground in Italy have that misguided nation in such a position that it can neither continue nor quit. So far as may be judgâ€" ed from the general reports, Germany was allowed to secure internal control of Italy. There were a number of German troops stationed in Italy. It seems to be the fact that while several divisions of Germans have in recent months been moved from Italy, there are still enough of the Nazis left in Italy to hold the Italians well in check. Italy is learning the hard way how senseless it is to sell out to the devil. The devil may not live up to any bargains made, but there is no stickler like the devil when it comes to collecting on a bargain. To many these days the question of the hour is: "Where the deuce is the Duce?" Some stories picâ€" ture him as being under arrest in Italy. Others suggest that he is a prisoner in Germany. Still others suggest that he may have escaped to some neutral land. Wherever the deuce the Duce may be he is in a deuce of a position. Wherever he may be, he can rest assured that he will not escape due punishment for his treachery, his ingratitude and his brutality. The happiest fate that he can hope to overtake him is to die of the cancer, from which he is supposed by some to suffer.

A typical example of material, hours and money saving is the reâ€"design of the backsight of the Canadian army iifle. Today it is manuafctured in one piece at an annual saving of 143,800 pounds of carbon steel, 319,000 hours of labhour. Production cost has been lowâ€" ered by $300,000 yearly and 37 valuâ€" able machine tools have now gone to another important war job. The backsight of the Canadian army riflie, which consisted of seven separate parts, used to be an intricate item to manufacture before new design men figured out a change. And this change, which produces the backsight all in one piece has released 37 valuable machine tools used in the process for other war production work. It meant an annual saving of 143,800 pounds of carbon steel, 319,000 hours of labour and: $300,â€" 000 in production cost. St. Matthew‘s Church was decorated with tall vases of colourful garden bouquets and summer green fern for the wedding, July 31st, of Myrtle Lilâ€" lian Knell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

The sleeves were threeâ€"quarâ€" ter length and were met by a pair of little white lace mitts. She had on a single strand of pearls, gift from the groom, and carried white and pale pink roses and maiden fern. Mr. Ed Ash was the best man and he received a leather wallet from the groom. Mr. S.

Mrs. Knell reâ€" ceived in a navy blue crepe suit with white accessories, and a corsage of red roses. Mrs. Morrow assisted in an enâ€" semble of navy blue with a corsage of red roses. ‘The bride and groom left the same day for a wedding trip, the bride wearâ€" ing a pale blue crepe dress, with white accessories and a corsage of sweet peas.

Officially known as Rifle No. 4, Mark 1, the Canadian army rifie, a version of the British Leeâ€"Enfield, was originally produced in a Canadian plant under Canada‘s arms program from standard British specifications. The problems at the outset were formidable. Canada‘s workmen had to be found, new workâ€" men trained.

If the Italians do so promptly and cheerfully they are nearly sure the water is not harmed. If the Italians keep on living after the water has been taken, the Canadians are sure the water is safe enough. With the election over, people can turn again to the more pressing business of winning the war. Hamburg is chopped finer than hamburger CANADIAN INGENUITY SAVES MILLIONS The change in design of the army rifie backsight saved substantial quanâ€" tities of scarce carbon steel, released machine tools and labour. A new trigâ€" ger guard design allowed it to be made of pressed metal instead of forged meâ€" tal. The more plentiful metal, zinc, was substituted for carbon steel in the manufature of the bayonet scabbard mountpiece.. Zinc was used in place of brass in making the plateâ€"butt. And other economical changes, each approvâ€" ed by army authorities, were introduced into the design of the rifle. In many instances armament speciâ€" fications had been drawn up im peaceâ€" time, when machines, labour and maâ€" terial, were plentiful. The Departâ€" ment of Munitions and Supply, which had to deal with the program as a whole, could see the problem.
