balance- between military forces on one hand and industry and farm on the other is the problem of the government is it the wisest thing to place all our man power in actual fighting forces and fall behind with our industrial output or with farm production this is the issue of the day only those high in military channels of the government can really tell us the needs of the army it is up to them and after that the government should determine the issue americas problem is canadas problem ttfo the issue before canada today is precisely that of the united states so well pointed out by the christian science monitor from which we quote the main question about the war is how soon can the united states outproduce the axis the sooner it does the fewer will be the surrenders the wake islands and the hong kongs the sooner will captive peoples be freed two years should end the war if americas vast potential streng- thcan be turned into effective war power into the 185000 planes 120000 tanks 55000 antiaircraft guns and 18000- 000 tons of shipping president roosevelt promised by 1943 peace may be won even earlier if american industry can shift quickly to war production the main question about american industry is will it volunteer or be drafted mechanized war puts industry plant and personnel into the army voluntarily or by com pulsion in britain persons and property alike are virtually commandeered for war production workers are placed where they can do the most good industrial equipment is pooled for erficiencymanagement takes orders from govern- ment in large measure this regimentation is voluntary the legal authority seldom has to be used since dunkirk the prime necessity of national selfpreservation has largely submerged smaller selfinterests but the war cabinet de cides whatj industry management and labor shall do through the production executive it determines what shall bepr6duced7ahd where the sooner washington sets up a similar central authority and brings labor and manage- mentinto line the better v an interesting decision a decision of more than passing significance has been given in an appeal case in osgoode hall in which it is held that no obligation exists for an owner to protect a trespass er from injury damages had been awarded by a county judge to a farmer whohad 4 horses killed when the animals wandered onto a neighboring farm and then through an open field to the railway tracks it was declared by mr jus tice maston in reversing the decision of a jury under judge cochrane in brampton that the horses were trespassing be- fore they went through to the railway tracks where they were killed by a train this decision may have a wide application particularly to allowed at large on public highways and sideroads as is the custom in some rural dis tricts during the summer months the art of getting along sooner or later a man if he is wise discovers that business life is a mixture of good days and bad victory and defeat give and take 1 he learns that it doesnt pay to be a sensitive soul that he should let some things go over his head like water off a ducks back he learns that he who loses his temper usually loses he learns that all men have burnt toast for break- t fast now and then and that he shouldnt take the other fellows grouch too seriously vi he learns that carrying a chip on hisshoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight he learns that the quickest way to become un- popular is to carry tales and gossip about others he learns that buckpassing always turns out to be a boomerang and that it never pays he learns that even the janitor is human and that it doesnt do any harm to smile and say good morning een if it is raining he learns that most of the other fellows are as am- bjtiousas he is that they have brains that are as good or better and that hard work and not cleverness is the secret of success doesnt do any harm to smile and say good morning even into the business because he remembers how bewildered he was when he first started out he learns not to worry when he loses an order be- cause experience ljas shown that if he always gives his best his average will break pretty well he learns that bosses are not monsters trying to get la 9 work out of him for the least amount of but that they usually are fine men who succeeded thrbugli hard work and who want to do the rightthing rv ishot any harder to get one place than another and that getting along- depends about- 98 per cent on his own behavior canadian editors bombed understand british sentiment this is the sixth of a series of articles- about conditions in great britain and other coun tries visited recently by a group of twelve canadian editors it was written for the weekly newspapers of canada by their own representative on the tdur hugh teniplin- of- the fergus xewsrecord as the days passed in london and no german bomber ever came near the city the canadian editors grew restive and impatient they did not want to go home- again and have to admit that they had never heard a bomb burst in anger ourh03ts were most obliging in every way if there wasanything wo wanted we bad only to ask the brit ish council and it was arranged we thoroughness the wanted to see the canadian corps in had action and we wanted it travelling five editors took one of them major christie grattan oleary and i had room to spare in the other outside in the corridor a man from in libertys somehow the talk drift ed around to bombing i went home one night and the roof was off my house the constable says to me that i cant go in there i says i am going in i live here and my sister lives here and were going to keep on living here and wero there yet though its inconvenient in winter not having a roof on your house the amazing understatment of all these people was what impressed me i found it right and left one night a canadian editor suggested to col astor that we would like to see a bit of bombing said the colonel i would not advise it we have found it a slightly uncongenial experience on a train in an air raid we left london on a southern railway train without hearing a bomb burst with their usual british council reserved two compartments over the countryside on largescale manoeuvres we desired to meet prime minister churchill face to face in two days came word that we would not only meet him but we would also hear him speak in the house of commons we wanted to see a blitz but it seemed that the british council wasnt able to man age that for us ono night i sat in the office of mr robertson editor of the daily ex press a messenger came in the yellow light is on that means that an enemy plane has crossed the coast somewhere it happens nearly every night a few minutes later there was more excitement the purple light had gone on that indicated that thej plane was definitely headed towards london all over the city in arp posts and newspaper offices men watched friend said its not too secure in here i laughed there it was again that british understatement four people in- the hotel needed hospital care one man was nearly scalped by flying glass a young girl was carried out on a stretcher seh was not unconscious through it all the old grandfather clock in the lob by kept going the airways people weighed us in the only room on the ground floor where a candle could be burned the lady who managed the hotel brought excellent sandwiches and coffee with in an hour she apologized because she had no beds for usthey were full of glass and most of the windows were out those on he side next the sea were soaked with water b k sandwell and i decided to sleep on mattresses on the floor the lady manager led us upstairs with the occasional light of a torch she apologized that we had to sleep- on the flooryou see she saidweve been a bit pushed about here to night there it was again half her hotel business for the red light to come that would be the one that would send the sirens screeching through the streets there had been no red light for months with the watcliers on the roof the editors who had graduated from the university of toronto in 1941 thought we might seea raid after all so we hurried up to the roof george drew was there and john collingwood reade as well as several of our own party withthe light o electric torches we went up metal stairs past great tanks of water in the top storey and out on to the roof where two men in steel hats kept a constant vigil 1 stayed with them for an hour but the jerry never reached london out to the eastward we saw flashes from the antiaircraft guns but that was all the others went below but i remained listening to stories of the days when london was the hot spot these men veterans pf the last war were in the thick of it then but they had the same philosophy that carries all london through its dark hours if a bomb hasnt got your number on it it wont get you if it has it docs not matter where you are on my last night in loudon i came out of the brightness of the royal automobile club into the blackness of pall mall for the first time i saw the long fingers of the searchlights waving across the lon don sky in daylight i had seen the guns and the searchlights in hyde park but this was the first night there had been any sign of life the tho royal army ordinance corps and was wrecked plaster continued to his girl sbood in the corridor we invited them in the girl was able to knit by tho dim radiance of a tiny light in the compartment and the man talked to us rather guardedly we must have been near the south coast when the train slowed to a crawl and the white light went out leaving only one dim blue bulb burn ing youre in an air raid the young soldier said we didnt believe it there ijad been too many false alarms all right he said but if you hear machine guns lie on the floor it must have been nearly half an hour before the lights came on and i the train speeded up in no time we fall here and there at intervals yet they had been pushed about after an hour or so we slept well the only disturbance was the sound of men shovelling up plate glass off the streets all night every window within a mile was gone if it faced the sea five miles away windows were cracked when we came to think it over we agreed that if the german had pulled his bomb lever half a second sooner not one of us would have survived evidently those bombs did not have our number on them dental e s barker ljxs djjls honor graduate of royal cooec of dental surgeons and of tfc university of toronto office in grublns

purple light must have been on again they faded oiitafter awhile but i walked hopefully along pall mall and through trafalgar square and down the strand and nothing happened it was nearly one oclock when i wakened in my bed in the savoy i thought i heard the guns going out side carefully i went into the bath room shut the door turned off the lights opened the window and looked out there was nothing to see and no guns to be heard half an hour later i wakened again and dressed after all it was my last night in london and one more walk in the blackout would be pleasant but outside all was still and i walked to waterloo bridge with two canadian soldiers hurrying to catch a train then went back to the hotel survivors of the blitz it wasnt hard to get stories of the blitz second hand nearly everybody had been bombed nobody bragged about it i was weeks before i knew that toby oibrien our host from tho british council had been carried into a hospital after being blown out of his car one night he didnt tell me till i askpd him the savoy itself had six or seven bombs one of which blew the end out of the restaurant canadian military headquarters in cockspur street had suffered more than the active army in the field so it went everywhere at the press club one night i listened to amazing stories of fleet street in the blitz it had been hammered almost to destruction when a great land mine came floating down on a para chute if it had gone off every build ing for blocks around would have were out on the station platform at bournemouth an imporial airways- officer was there to greet us there has been an air raid but the all clear has just sounded perhaps he thought we looked disappointed no bombs were dropped he added two planes across the sky just then two planes went over quite low down the long finger of a searchlight swept across picking up one of them directly overhead that was strange i thought they dont put searchlights on our planes could it be another german had they re turned bishop renison and dave rogers went away in the officers car the other six of us piled into a station wagon and followed a few blocks away we came over the top of the hill and saw the channel in the moon light suddenly there was a lerrifiic ex plosion and a great fan of yellow light covered much of the sky ahead it had come i knew it as surely as i knew we were in bournemouth i wasnt frightened in the least that seems strange looking back but perhaps it was because we were all newspaper men now on the path of a big story not one of the others seemed nervous either x thought this is better than any fireworks at the toronto exhibition in less than a second there was another blast that made it certain i thought of the words of the king were all in the front line now we are really into it at last i wondered what the driver of a car did in a blitz the driver seemed to wonder too an arp warden on the corner shouted put out that light he might have been shouting at our driver who didnt pay any attention or at a boy with a white lamp on his bicycle a warm avelcomo to bournemouth water seemed to pour down out of the sky ahead it was incompre hensible but the gutters were full on the sides of the road for tho first time somebody spoke he must haye smashed a water main it wasnt until next morning i heard about that one bomb had burst in the sea and sent water into the sky for a quarter of a mile in land they were not bombs either it seemed but two of the dreaded land mines that had floated down on groat whitb parachutes and exploded on the beach one in the water and theother on the side of the cliff next morning i picked up a pocket ful of splinters andpart of the para chute cord the cord was over an inch in diameter the mines must have weighed 1500 pounds each business phone tho station wagon drew up at the royal bath hotel and we stepped out on broken glass and entered inside there was chaos the bishop and mr rogers had been knocked over by the blast but were on their feet again two women were trying to calm little dogs the door leading to the lounge had been blown loose from the stone archway frame and all there was no light except little penlights which we always carried i walked to the arch where the door thomas birkett son general insurance agency stouffville ontario established1908 insure in reliable companies at reasonable rates
