This calumn wishes to extend to Roy St. John, its most <<nder armi heartfelt sympathy for what he wi‘l have to go through in the day: to onme. Sherman said "War is Hell". Hitler has proved that statement. But what Roy is going to suffer will be worse than anyâ€" thing that either Sherman or k.itler ever concocted.

Jimmy being a man, who, in his youth, was vaccinated with a gramaphone needle will make a goud partner for Oliver, but what atout poor Roy. Our advive to Roy is to immediately procure a couple of sets of soundâ€"proof ear drum protectors, for without a shadow of a doubt, the flow of v ords around that butcher shop in the future will be enough to send any Minister of the Gospel out on a three months‘ binge. ‘There will be many a day that Roy will curse Webster for ever compiling the dictionary.

Eight teams went into action in the playoffs on Monday night. Unfortunately *%e first set of playâ€"downs did not finish without a squabble.

Canadians. The muzzle of the rifle is within an inch of the target and when the trigger is asqueezed a little arrow plerces the target and shows just where the recruit was aiming.
