The Canadian army in the last war could furnish illustrations but the parâ€" ticular story at hand is told by Col. Charles division Great pains were taken to hide the fact that the 35th division was going overseas, Newspapers were warned not to mention trains or ships. It was landed secretly. It marched to the front at the dead of nightâ€"and when morning came a banner was displayed over the German trenches reading "Welcome 35th Division." Short Wave? A Frenchman, who died in Paris last night, was one of the inventors of the radio, but refused to have one in his house in recent years. Censorship, Short Wave, Entertaining Eyes, Rural Sundays We didn‘t know that you could hear Benny, Crosby and Valee in Paris. Eentertaining Eyts One of the blurb articles on a visitâ€" ing play plays up one of the actresses and among other things says that she "rolled her entertaining eyes." Heels, The Pupil Learns, Hawks Fly, Cause and Effect. Does this refer to glances that proâ€" mise entertainment, or what? Rural. Sundays Sunday has its effect even in rural communities declared W. J. Cameron on the Ford Hour last night. He should have said ‘"only" instead of "even." Heels "Rubber heels outnumber all others," states a trade journal report,. But there are a lot of others, too. The Pupil Learns Herr Hitler, March 7, 1936: "We have no territorial demands to make in Europe." â€" September 26, 1938: ‘"The Sudetenland is the last territorial claim that I have to make in Europe." â€" Toâ€"day‘s papers: "Russia has given assurances that she has no more terriâ€" prial aspirations in Scandinavia." Certainly + "Hawks Fly Here," says a news headâ€" ing , Certainly! â€" Why shouldn‘t ha‘wks fly? But then on further research we find these "Hawks" are hockey players. And we are informed that it took them one hour and ten minutes to get from Deâ€" troit to the Mailton airportâ€"and two hours flat to get from Malton to the Royal York Hotel. Mlsley "Massey still grounded," says a newsâ€" paper heading describing how Denton Massey has been prevented from keepâ€" Iing speaking engagements, because of bad fiving conditions. This caused our Uncle Ed to hum softly to himself, "Massey‘s on the cold. cold ground." trouble at all.

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Twaddile wish to thank their many friends and also the Church for the beautiful flowers and plants sent to Mrs. Bill Twaddle, who is at present ill at St. Mary‘s Hospital. â€"26 TOWNSHIP of WHITNEY «24 London, March 27.â€"Britain‘s North Sea destroyer and submarine squadrons were reported to be assembling in the Skagerrak south of Norway and some sources said their dual purpose was to tighten the blockade around Germany â€"particularly ore shipment from Swedâ€" enâ€"and to lure the German fleet into a naval battle, We presume it doesn‘t hurt the chicks or the Humane Society would be putâ€" ting in its oar. Incidentally we thought this band of "Chiâ€"Hawks" that came swooping out of the sky last Tuesday were going to be large and fierce, but apparently "Chiâ€"Hawks" is just short of henâ€" hawks after all. Words, Words, Words ‘"‘The northern rink, which is 182 feet long and 76 feet wide, ought to be a mauch better fit for them than the Gardens‘ 200 x 85 feet, where the Lake Shore forwards seemed to profit from Lebensraum," says a morning paper sports writer. There is nothing for it. The morning paper will have to give its sports readers a correspondence course in Arts and languagesâ€"German as well as English. Being left in a hotel room while hubâ€" by goes to the Garden would seem to be reason enough to make any lady run a temperature. And then at the end of the story it says that after smashing the Armada Drake went ‘back to his bowling alley. Alley ! ! That is too much. Maybe the morning paper sports writer could imitate those books of Burns poetry, and Shakespearean works and publish a glossary at the end of each report. Cause and Effect An actress getting a divorce, listed among her complaints that her husband left her "running a temperature" in a New York hotel while he went to "some kind of a game at Madison Square Garâ€" den." Aldershot News The local paper from Aldershot looks as if it has gathered up a few comâ€" petitors in the pastâ€"and the past stretches back a long time in Blighty. The mast head of the Aldershot News in full reads "The Aldershot News and Military ‘Gazette, Farnborough Chroniâ€" cle and Fleet Times." Drake‘s Game of BOowls If Sir Francis Drake was really a bowler we hope his ghost returns to haunt Willis Thornton, NEA. service staff writer â€"who has written up the story of his famous game before he went oflit to fight the Spanish Armada. Chicken Some chickenâ€"hearted lady protests the dyeing of baby chicks for Easter. We can‘t have the sport fans going around asking what team Lebensraum coaches. The story says: " ‘Think nothing of it,‘ says Drake, tossing a fast hook down the greensward." A fast hook ! ! May heaven have mercy on Myr. Thornton.
