Between Stitches To anyone who only remembers London with its bright lights, the twinkling Neon signs in Piccadilly Cirâ€" cus, the illuminated signs along the embankment, and the shining cheery face of Big Ben, it is impossible to visualize the heart of the British Emâ€" pire in a complete blackout. It is exâ€" actly trying to imagine what Broadway . ahd Times Square in New York would look like if the lights were suddenly turned off. The â€" blackou has been a kreater load for the people of that Light little island to bear than the rationing, travelling, and many other restrictions that have been clamped down upon them. Conâ€" sequently it is easy to.understand the celebrations that took place when the lights went on again. Many smali children had never seen the lights beâ€" fore and we certainly hope it portends the dawn of a brighter future for the entire world as well as for those small children, who will always associate their ear éhildhood with blackouts, airâ€"raid whelters, the crash of bombs, and the wmng of air raid sirens. tur It was with sincere regret thet the news â€"was received in Timmins this week that Flying Officer Wilfred The people of the country need . to give some very serious thought ~to the matter before they go to.the ~‘polls in the forthcoming elections "If the returning volunteers reâ€" ceive as much consideration and ‘‘ms mgny concessions as the large ‘army of zombies that have been "treated ~like "the cream of the crop", then everything in the garâ€" den is going to be just lovely, but. the present administration appears to have such a perverted sense of fairness and justice that one is very sceptical about the â€"fubtureé of our returning service per‘sonnel if some change is not made.

His many friends will join in <the sincere wish that better and brighter «news will soon be received by his wife and that the airman will be on the highroad to recovery.

Advancing armies, liberated terâ€" ritory and Victory also bring a heavy burden of responsibility in the administration and care of the freed people. Red Cross quotas are being doubled and the greatest need is for children‘s wear. It is the faithful few whose familiar faces are to be seen around the Red Cross sewing rooms but there must be hundreds of women who have "pitied" and said "what a terrible thing this war is" and exâ€" «pressed concern for the people of "bombâ€"torn : cities" and .. occupied ‘ countries but it seems to be. a horse of "another‘colour when it come§ right, down to some practâ€" _ jcal ‘Help.

Then to climax this pleasant surâ€" prise a group of friends arrived to extend their best wishes for continued happiness, and a most enjoyable social evening ensued. Mrs. T. Howey presided at the piano while the guests joined in a real singâ€"song and later dancing was enjoyed to the music of Mr. Cecil Brunk and his guitar, accomâ€" panied at the piano by Miss Lois Doolan.
