Soavenir Book Ready For Holland Veterans Canadians who Participated | In Campaign May Secure Them Through Their Unit Headquarters--Are Profusely Illustrated Toronto, July 4--Canadian troops © who fought through Holland when that country was liberated by the * First Canadian Army, are soon to receive copjes' of a fine souvenir book, * and the Canadians", published n Amsterdam 'by the Aganada-Netherlands Committee. Designed as a gift from ihe pep ! ple of Holland to "their Ca an ) liberators", the book is an outstand- ips contrintidion th.the litevary and hails records of the "past war. Some 42,000 copies have been : sllocgied by the Committee for dis- tribution in Canada and these have ' now been shipped from Ottawa 'to : Army Public Relations Officers in each of the nine provinces. Unfor= tunately there are two few books available to provide copies for every | Canadian soldier who saw service.in '+ Holland. - Obtainable Through Units Soldiers who served in Holland ! and who desire«a copy should com- ! municate with the Headquarters of their unit, as a limited.number of . books have been sent to each unit, the active battalion of which served | in Holland, for distribution. In a foreword to the book the . Dutch Committee pays high tribute ' to the ©€anadian Army which "won + great glory by its courage and self- » denial and filled the hearts of our : people with everlasting gratitude." Immediately after the liberation i of the Netherlands, the instruction . continues, a desire was felt to"offer the Canadian Army a commerative gift which could be kept by each in. .- dividual recipient and which would i give expression to the admiration ! and gratitude of the Dutch. It was i felt that such a gift should take the + form of a book, which, under the title of "Holland and the Gan- adians", would give a picture of the country they had liberated. The book shows the country be- . fore the war, scene of proverbial prosperity with its fertile polders . reclaimed during.a struggle of cen- . . turies with the sea; the quiet cities : with their seventeenth century * splendour side by side with modern activities, and the picturesque land- + scape with its broad motorways. : Then there will be found pictures + of the period of war and occupa= ;. tion including the bombardment of | : Rotterdam, the looting of the coun. : try, the raids, the gradual paupef- + ization of the people and their star- : vation and suffering during the cold + war winters, and also scenes of the + underground resistance in the face + of death. Pictures of Reception ! _ With the heroic struggle for Ni- 4 jmegen and Arnhem began the lib- : eration of the country which, with + the conquest of Zeeland and the eastern provinces, ultimately led to : the capitulation of the enemy. Fin- + ally a number of the pictures show ' the glorious entry and the enthu- & siatic reception of the Canadians @roughout the country. dtogether there are 150 splendid : photographs in this 10 x. 14 inch - book; augmented by a text to make . up 72 full pages. Mr. J. Nikork, se- cretary of the Canadian-Nether- : lands Committee, and Major Nor- : man Phillips of Canadian Army . Public Relations, collaborated on . writing the text and captions, and : many of the illustrations are offi- cial Canadian Army photographs provided by the Film and Photo { Unit of Public Relations. { To many recipients the book will . be a collector's item. It will play : its part in strengthening the ties + between the people of the Nether. : lands and those of Canada. | Big Attendance At Field Day More than two thousand young people from Junior Farmer d i Junior Institute organizations Ge ' tended the Guelph District Junior Farmer Field Day held at the O.A. ~ C., Guelph, on Saturday, June 29th.

MAGBRIEN - URGES KIWANIANS 1) FAGE PROBLEMS "Dominion Day" Message Stresses Need for World d Harmony Major James s MacBrien was the guest speaker at the weekly lunch- eon meeting of the Oshawa Ki- wanis Club on \Tuesday noon and in a timely addfess entitled "Dom- inion Day", delivered a thought- provoking address in which he voiced a few views and opinions as to the things Canadian citizens should and ought to be thinking about. He was introduced to the club members. by Kiwanian Col. Bob Smith and at the conclusion of his file talk," Major MacBrien heard the appreciative thanks of the club voiced in able manner by Kiwanian Major Neil Fraser. At the outset of his address, Ma- jor James MacBrien reviewed his own early impressions of Canada, during Mls schoolday years and then of later years. Bringing Canada's. ten Foverhitie bodies, the Federal rnment and nine Provincial ies, into a closer and' more harmonious understand- ing, was stressed by Major Mac- Brien as one of Canada's big prob- lems. "We must have a certainty in the future, with regards to tax- ation, so that we can go on trading and doing business with confi- dence", he added. Referring to the immense shift in balance of power as the result of the recent conflict, the speaker stated that the "Commonwealth of Nations is working forward. This is the means of peace dnd their 'ex- perience of government can build a closer understanding and relation- ship between Russia and United States, those two great Nations of the world. "The danger of war will always be present", the speaker declared, "unless we can go beyond the pres- ent veto basis and arrive at a con- firmed understanding that on .cer- tain principles 'and these - alone, strictly adhered to, can the world ' go_forward. e must pool our armed forces if necessary but we must also pool inventions, our great minds, all our individual assets, Stressing the value of the individ- ual contribution in building world peace and world understanding, Major MacBrien stated in conclus- ion, "we must consider these as the problems facing us individually as Canadians today. We must go for- ward on a policy based on our own strength, working in closer 're- lationship with United States, to expand these influences and the benefits we have learned in the Commonwealth of Nations, through- out the world."

"Constable Gordon Keast, who in- vestigated the accident, reported that your breath smelt of liquor which might have had something to do with the accident, You claim- ed you never saw the truck. This means. you couldn't have been keeping a sharp look-out which is evidence of careless driving and I must find you guilty."
