The air of mystery which has surrounded the official bulletins from Buck- ingham Palace has only served to heighten the feeling that the King's illness is of a severe character, although the fact that the visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh has not been cancelled has a special significance. They are, however, to fly to Quebec from Britain to reach there on the date originally scheduled for their arrival by steamship. This will give them an extra week to remain by the King's bed- side. : Loyal citizens of the British. Common- wealth, share a common concern for the King's health. This concern is borne not only of loyalty, but also springs from the deep love and affection which has been en- gendered in their hearts for their sovereign. He has truly made ome family of all the Commonwealth peoples, and his subjects feel strong personal interest in his welfare. So today, throughout the British world, prayers are going up %o Almighty God for the recovery of His Majesty. , In these prayers, the people of Oshawa will join with full hearts. For Canada's Defence The fall training season for Canada's reserve army is now beginning, and the two local regiments, the Ontario Regiment and the 19th Army Workshop, RCEME, are get- ting under way their program for the next few monthg Both these units are anxious to enroll young men to fill up their ranks for the winter season, with the objective of having in readiness for emergency a body of men trained in the arts of warfare. The officers at National Defence Head- quarters who are responsible for the building up and training of a reserve army have a very definite idea that in the event of an- other war being forced on the world, this country would require defence forces on a large scale, It is to be prepared. for just an emergency, and to have trained men ready to meet it, that the reserve army has been or- ganized. Through it, young Canadians can be given a thorough training and taught the use of modern weapons of warfare. And the existence of such a force might be a strong deterrent to any power which might be harboring ideas of aggression. In order to do its job of preparedness, however, the reserve army needs more men willing to be trained. The numbers in most regiments today are pitifully small, and the two Oshawa regiments are no exception to 'this. Both of them are calling for volunteer recruits. And they offer mot only military training, but also a training in self-discipline, a large measure of good fellowship and social activity, and an opportunity for the develoment of initiative and self-reliance. Even if no war should come, the training in the reserve army would be a valuable and wholesome experience for any young man, and the comradeships acquired in the regi- ment of his choice would be very much worthwhile. Apart altogether from the con- sideration of rendering a patriotic service to one's country, there are many inducements which are worthy of consideration by our young men, who should welcome the oppor- tunity of reserve army service in a regi- ment with wonderful traditions behind it. Why Britain Backward Conditions in Britain today, in the eco- nomic and social sense, are grim. The people are suffering front a kind of existence which, from the standpoint of living standards, is far below our own. Many people wonder why it is that Britain, of all the countries in the war, has taken so long-to-make a comeback 1] Press, SPaP to normal conditions. In some quarters, there is a tendency to criticize Britain for failure to return rapidly to her former position in the world. There is a good deal of this kind of criticism in certain quarters in the United States. Those who are critical, however, over- look the vast difference between the war- time sacrifices of Britain and those of coun- tries like Canada and the United States. It is true that the countries on this continent contributed generously to the war effort, in men, in materials and in money. They sent their armies, navies and ain forces to the far flung fronts of the world in defence of democracy. The one thing which should be noted well, however, is that not a single enemy shell or bullet or bomb fell on the North American continent. Neither Canada nor the United States suffered the loss of a dollar's worth of property by enemy action in the course of the war. Let us contrast that with the devastation which was visited on Britain by enemy bombing, the results of which are still to be seen on every side in those communities which suffered severely. According to the British War Commission, 3,420,000 build- ings were destroyed by enemy action in Britain and Northern Ireland. Up to the present time, the British government has paid out nearly three billion dollars to owners of property because of war damage. These are things which Canada and the United States .escaped. These are things which few of our people can really under- stand. They are part of the'reason for the slow recovery from the effects of war, but the fact that we do not, on this continent, appreciate what they mean, should enlarge our sympathy and curb our criticism, for Britain and the British people in the trying period through which they are still passing. Editorial Notes The government could help reduce the cost of living by renewing the embargo of Cana- dian cattle and hogs to the United States. But what a howl that would bring from the well-organized agricultural industry. +* * * The democracies are mow doing a lot of talking about bolstering anti-Communist strength. Too bad they did not do something about that six years ago. * He * Gasoline prices have been reduced dras- tically in Western Canada as a result of Al- berta's oil development. In due time, the same benefit will be felt throughout the whole of Canada. KA + * The Printed Word has a good system for avoiding payment of taxes. Here it is: "Don't smoke. Don't drink alcohol. Don't drink soft drinks. Don't use gasoline. Don't buy a cook stove. Don't buy a refrigerator, Don't buy an automobile. Don't live. Don't die." ® Other Editors' Views @ NOT GAINING GROUND ; (Ottawa Journal) The British Labor Party has won a couple of by- elections lately, but merely to hold Labor seats -- and by majorities sharply reduced. They give no indication that the Attlee Government is recovering any lost ground: Conservative hopes remain strong of winning the next general election, which now is" expected in the Fall. SCHOOLS OF DEMOCRACY (Christian Science Monitor) Democracy doesn't come out of a textbook. It comes out of living. Texthooks may be the invalu- able conveyors of the great ideas by which democ- racy lives, but daily life is the soil in which those ideas must take root. 80 American schools are schools of democracy in two ways. Students may learn there the 'ideas the facts, the disciplines, the intellectual agility and integrity necessary to a free, progressive people. But through actual participation in student activi- ties and student government they may acquire prac- tical experience in the art of living together, in the techniques and problems of democratic self-govern- ment. ® A Bit of Verse @ CAPE COD RECALLED I know where gulls police-the sands, And silver-ochre beach grass stands-- Now bowing east, now leaning west, Swift to fulfill the wind's request; I know where shells like, fairy spoons Are set on tables of the dunes, And beach plum branches--green with May-- Wait 1dr a blue September day ¢ I know, I see, I am aware-- Through miles, unmeasured miles, from there! --VIRGINIA GRILLEY e A Bible Thought e Those who have no place for Christ in this life will have no place with Christ in the after life.

The books were stolen fro mthe old Prussian state library in the Soviet sector of Berlin last May by one of the officials who disap- peared with them. The flight of the official and the theft never were made public by either the Russians or the German Commuifiist authorities. Dr. Smith said also that Presi- dent Wilhelm Pieck of East Ger- many had made a "gift" to Poland of seven preludes and etudes by Chopin. The manuscripts were the rightful property of the German people,' he said. The Beethoven books are beyond price, Dr. Smith said. W.A. Meeting Held At Kinsale MRS. J.

All Rights Reserved INSIDE QUEEN'S PARK .. Toronto -- Latest word onthe election is that if held it will prob- ably be late in November, possib- ly the last Monday. This, according to one prominent P.C. who holds this view would mean that campaigning wouldn't have to get under way seriously until the royal couple weré in the country. One strong disadvantage would be the large number of municipal elections being held around this time. Where there were simultane- ous elections there is little coubt that in most cases the local vote would get most prominence. How- ever, a factor like this is not one which would tend to influence Mr. Frost greatly. His attitude would be, one imagines, that it is up to the people to breed interest in the election and up to them whether they got out and voted. There is some distress within P. C. circles at the failure of Mr. Frost to take a more active part +/in the naming of candidates. There is a section of opinion within the party which would like to see stronger candidates in the field. It is based on the belief that the government needs a few better- C May Be November Election than-average men to strengthen its benches. And at the present time this type of candidate isn't appear- ing in the field. For the most part the potential candidates being discussed are from the old guard and don't promise to do much to bolster the government. And in the way of politics unless the premier takes @ hand personally it is most likely that most of them will get the nomination. They have established organizations which unless there happens to be a particularly strong opposition, in most cases whould be good enough to carry a nomination meeting. There "has been some pressure put on Mr. Frost to take a hand but so far he apparently hasn't bowed to it. He has a natural dis- inclination to interfere in local rid- ing affairs and there will have to be strong reasons advanced before he will intervene. There must be a strong tempta~ tion, nevertheless. Althouga he has some capable administrators in his cabinet there is a lack of men able to handle policy and one or two such would make the premier's job considerably easier. of saving we have."
