has a material element of truth. Along the coastâ€" line stretching from southern France to Scanâ€" dinavia there was said to be gathered an armada of barges and other vessels for the transportation of troops. No less than 600,000 soldiers with all manner of equipment were reported as ready to embark on the attempt to invade Britain. There are many facts that appear to corroborate the story. British airmen reported the presence of the barges. They also reported bombing them. From fairly reliable French and Belgian sources came support for the reports regarding troop concenâ€" tration. It is not hard to believe the story about the plans for the invasion last Tuesday. There is difficulty, though, in accepting the reason adâ€" vanced for the postponement of the invasion. Some of the German generals disapproved of the plans, and the little paperhanger listened to them! That is the reason givent It is more likely that the real reason for the German adjournment of the invasion plans was the action of the British air force and the British navy. Docks by the dozen were bombed, barges by the bunch were sunk, airfields were cracked up and planes crackâ€" ed down. Supply devots, anmunition dumps, oil supplies fell victims to the British airmen. The busy weekâ€"end of the British certainly upset all plans for last Tuesday. The radio broadcasts certainly need revision and some form of control. The Canadian Broadâ€" casting Corporation, however, is by no manner of means the competent authority to: exercise this control. At the door of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, indeed, must be laid the onus for the present muddle and mess. Effective control of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the answer. At the present moment the control of radio should be in the hands of people wholeheartealy, completely and enthusiastically Canadian and British. k The story comes from Europe by radio and by haywire telegraph that Tuesday of last week was the day set by Hitler for the invasion of Britain. Despite the questionable source of the informaâ€" tion, there is reason for believing that the story Now, says the grapevine telegraph, it is to be on Fridayâ€"this invasion business. As there is no weekâ€"end before the first Friday, the little paperâ€" hanger is reported as thredtening to talk peare. The British navy and the BRritish air foree do not far as Canada is concerned. There are people who have realized this so fully that they have practiâ€" cally closed down the radio for the duration of the war. Others are "rationing‘"‘ themselves carefully so fartas the radio is concerned. The majority of the people are coming to the conclusion that the frequent radio broadcasts â€" especially the "flashes‘"â€"are worse than a nuisance. One or two authentic and carefully considered broadcasts daily would meet the situation. As amatter of fact, only at the occasional time, is anything further practical or necessary. The frequent digests. and reviews of the war news given over the radio are in the : main repetitions of previous broadcasts, or illâ€"advised, immature, prematuye and ° pooriyâ€" considered comment or rehash. Emphasis is often given to the German theory that the present war is a ‘war of nerves."" If this is the case the radio has been a more effective Hitler agent than his infamous Fifth Column, so There is no question as to the need for some control of radio. On Tuesday, for éxamplé. there was. the astounding case of the radio being used for ~broadcasting from some obscurant New York journal what was nothing more nor lgess than Nazi propaganda. If the Germans have not paid the New York journal for this stuff, then the paperhanger and his gang are as ungrateful as the world believes them.. That Canadian radio time should be devoted to such offensive propaâ€" ganda is very decided evidence of the need for proper radio.controlâ€"a control, however, that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation appears to be lacking in either the desire or the ability to impose. The continual interruption of important broadcasts to allow the soaking of the air with soap and coffee beans is another evidence of the need for effective control of radio. There is a proposal being discussed at present that independent broadcasts should be abolished in Canada and that Canadian stations shall only broadcast news that has been approved by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It may be that the suggestion is made with the idea of learning the public reaction to the proposal. The public should make it plain that what is needed is not further control of radio by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation but rather an. effective form of control of the Canadian BroadCasting} Corporation by some force that has the people‘s, welfare at heart.

Now the enemy has started bombing Palestine. Perhaps, this ‘secret weapon" there has been so much talk of the Germans possessing is no more than a plan to separate people from their money.

GRAVEL AND SA\JI)-â€"â€"I\NI) PLA(‘ER V U m NV o t Om i o i P e dn 1 C Timmins far exceeded its objective in the sale ~of war savings stamps in connection with the reâ€" markable theatre night this week. For this the theatres in Timmins and throughout Canada are to be congratulated for their patriotism and their enterprise. The committees in charge and the ladies who sold the stamps are to be sincerely congratuilated for their enthusiasm and their effiâ€" ciencey. The clever young artists and the older ones contributing to the notable programmes at the theatres in the district are to be congratuâ€" lated om their great work for a good cause. Above all the general public is to be congratulated on the magnificent response made to this call for loyal support. Canada and Britain are to be congratuâ€" lated on its faithful sons and daughters. Indeed, everybody appears to be deserving of congratulaâ€" tiom in the matter, except the Dominion Governâ€" ment which apparently has missed the lesson of it all. There was no partyism in any of the effort to help "stamp out Hitler." No one thought of the politics of any of the committee, or the stamp sellers, or the artists. They were all simply loyal Canadians and Britishers, as was the public they, so ably served. Liberal and Conservative and C.C.F. and Independent stood side by side, worked side by side, without thought of party or creed or class, or anything else, save the loyalty of all to the Empire and the cause. Buyers and sellers were alike in this. The noble unity shown in the theatre night sale of war savings stamps will have much fartherâ€"reaching resulits than the mere selling of the war stamps. The event not only popularized war savings. stamps but one of its outstandingT effects will be a clearer and keener appreciation om the part of all as to what the war means and how even the most humble can give effective aid in supporting the battle. It would be about perfect if from this remarkable evidence of unity and loyailty, the government would realize the need for encouragaing all Canadians to join the battle by giving the right leadership and exampleâ€"â€"an example based on the principle that toâ€"day there is no party cleavage â€" that all are Canadians, Britishers, eager to work and to fight and to sacri-l ficee, side by side, for the great cause. No Walter! England is not called "the tight little island," because there are so many Scotsmen there. In the meantime the British people are going about their affairs, coolly, cheerfully, enthusiastiâ€" cally. They are prepared for any fate, except deâ€" feat. They are ready for invasion on Tuesday or Friday or Sunday or Monday or Thursday or Wedâ€" nesday. "Let the blighters come!" is the common expression that tells the spirit of the people: of the "tight little island." The German hordes will meet a reception that will confuse their dates beyond adjournment. At the moment the people of Britain are too busy preparing to break up German plans of inâ€" vasion and to meet any attempt of invasion, should things go that far, to have time to talk peace with the gangsters. Premier Churchill has made it plain that there will be no parleys with the enemy until the evil aggressors are on their knees. The mistake of the ending of the last war is not to be repeated. It is a matter of belief that all Europe is threatened with famine, from which Germany will not be able to escape. There is reaâ€" son for the thought that Germany is not far from collapse. The British view, though, is that the collapse must come before any peace parleys. There must be withdrawal of the gangsters from Poland, France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Holâ€" land, Norway, before there is foundation for any talk of cessation of hostilities. need weekâ€"ends for their good work. They can do the trick any and every day in the week. It is safe to say that before Friday Hitler and his staff of feliow gangsters are liable to have another disâ€" agreement over the Canadian radio as to the practicability of an invasion of Britain this week. * P P P DP â€"LP DA â€"Gâ€"Aâ€"A DP â€"ALâ€"LPâ€"Lâ€"ALâ€"AAPâ€"A â€"4â€"AL LAAA L â€"ILâ€"Gâ€"AG L DL â€"Lâ€"Lâ€"AP L PA } ANQTHER PATRIOTIC SWCCESS | 1. The parents or guardian in Great Britain must "nominate" the home in Children Coming to Relatives Many persons in Great Britain have relatives in this country to whom they wish to send their children, but are unable to defray the necessary expenses in order to permit the movement to be handled privately (see above). In these circumstances the children may become part of the general movement and every effort will be made to put them in the care of relatives here, subâ€" ject to the following requirements: In the latter two instances, the movement is carried out by direct arâ€" rangement with the Canadian immiâ€" gratiogp authorities and without referâ€" ence to the Provincial jurisdiction. However, any children brought out in school groups who may have to be acâ€" commodated in private homes are to be placed through the Children‘s Aid Societies. Class of Children Affected The Ontario Government‘s program of placing Child Guests is concéerned with all children who are brought to this Province for placement in private homes. It is notâ€"concgerned with: 1. The movement of entire schools for establishment of school groups in Canada with the exception noted beâ€" low, or 2. The movement of children whose transportation and expenses are fully paid by their parents, to the homes of relatives in Canada. In order to centralize the operation of the program. it has been deemed adâ€" visable to invest the full control of all homeâ€"finding and placements in the local societies which through many years of efficient operation have been able to build up an experienced organâ€" ization to investigate and supervise the placing of children in private homes. In other words, all children coming to Ontario for placement in private homes must pass through the hands of the Children‘s Aid Societies. Oncse placed in homes, they remain under the supervision of this organization while they continue to reside in Canâ€" ada. It may be that good news may come this week in regard to. the war, â€" or the news may not be so good! But good news, or il1, here are the words to keep in mind and in heartâ€"words spoken by His Majesty the King, and repeated in each issue of The Advance since then :â€" A number of windows have been broken recentâ€" ly at the Moneta school. Not only was this crime â€"for crime it isâ€"unsocial, ungrateful, senseless Before Italy entered the war it was believed by many that the nation was not prepared for a long or severe war. The Italian navyy, however, has proven itself more than ready for the war, having some of the speediest vessels on the seas toâ€"day. Air Marshall W. A. Bishop told the Vancouver board of trade this week that Germany is staking her all in an effort to force victory before the Canadian air training plan is producing large numbers of skilled pilots. It looks like a long war, all right. ' "Put into your task, whatever it may be, all the courage and purpose of which you are capable. Keep your hearts proud and your resolve unâ€" shaken. Let us go forward to that task as one man, a smile on our lips and our heads held high, ornd with God‘s help we shall not fail." Ontario Government‘s Plan for Accommodating British Child Guests In Ontario the responsibility for carrying out this program has been vested in the Department of Public Welfare, and through the Department in the Children‘s Aid Sccieties throughâ€" out the Province. The Program British children participating in the mass evacuaticn movement (as distinct from those whose parents are able to pay. their transportation. to the homes of relatives in this country) will be brought to Canada under the auspices of the Dominion Government. The ‘Canadian Government, in turn, has,. delégated to the provinces the responsibility of finding suitable homes for these Child Guests, and once such homes are found, the additional reâ€" sponsibility of ensuring that the chilâ€" dren continue to be properly cared for during their stay in this country, a period which will probably be extended for a short time past the duration of the War. The Advanse has had a number of references to the plan adopted by the Provincial Children‘s Aid to receive and find homes for the large number of children. who are to be evacuated by the British Government in view of the danger from Nazi bombings in the Old Land at present. There are a large number of good. people here who are very much interested in the plan and anxious to doâ€"anything to help. This is proven by the fact that already a large number of applications have been made for the "British Child Guests," and there are still more pending. There is such a general request for various details and: full particulars of the plan that The Advance publishes herewith in full a memorandum that gives in lucid and concise form all the informâ€" ation possible on the matter. Any further point not clear should be taken up with. the representatives of the lo>al Children‘s Aid. Hon. Eric Cross, Minister of Public Welfare, Explains Plan in Detail for Receiving and Finding Homes for Children Being Evacuated by the British Government. However, it must ‘be ramembered that there is a great demand for cerâ€" tain types of children and it will not always be possible to supply every perâ€" son volunteering a home with a child measuring up to the exact specificaâ€" tions set forth in the application. For that reason it is essential that those persons participating in this program agree that in the event that a child of the specified type is not available for placement, another corresponding aAs closely as possible to the coriginal reâ€" quest will be welcomed. The Ontario Government has given an undertaking that religious training There are other organizations which have expressed‘ a willingness to. assist in this program. The services of most of them are weleome and are needed. A great deal of the work falling upon the local societies in carriyng out this program can be filled by volunteers. ‘Officers of all organizations willing to offer services in this vitally important cause are asked to communicate with the superintendent of the local Chilâ€" dren‘s Aid Society. How to Offer Your Home Persons wishing to take part in this program by taking into their homes on or more Child Guests should comâ€" municate with the superintendent of the nearest Children‘s Aid Society. They will be requested to complete: an application form upon which is set forth both their willingness to accept a child and details of their ability to do so. After this form has been comâ€" pleted, a representative of the Society wili call to ascertain the home cireumâ€" stances and the environment in which the prospective child guest will find itself, as well as to assure that the proper child will be placed in that parâ€" ticular home. Once this process is completed the Society will exercise every care to ensure that the Guest Child will be congenial. Indicating A Prefeéerence In all cases, persons volunteering homes are requested to indicate a preâ€" ference as to the prospective Child: Guest. Such preference, of course, may take into account sex, age, color of hair, eves, size, etc. be maintained. Organizations coming within this category who wish to assist in the proâ€" gram may khave the children of memâ€" bers of similar organizations in Great Britain "ncminated" for hemes here. At the same time, the Ontario homes must be volunteered to the local Chilâ€" dren‘s Aid Society. Once the home has been approved, it can be held open for a child or children of the designated group. the Child Guests. In order that this splendid volunteer effort may not be dissipated through lack of leadership and coâ€"ordination, all such organizaâ€" tions have been required to. conduct their homefinding activities im conjun«â€" tion with the local Children‘s Aid‘ Soâ€" cieties. In this fashion, the children can be placed in an efficient and orâ€" derly manner with a minimum, of conâ€" fusion, and all necessary safeguards for both the children and their hosts can of Organizations ‘ Many Ontario organizations whict are affiliated with similar groups in Great Britain have expressed a will-i ingness to assist in the placement proâ€" gram by having the homes of members in Ontario offered to the children ofi members in Great Britain. This is particularly true of lodges, service clubs, industrial concerns and profes-, sional men‘s organizations, : â€" The Ontario Government is desirousl of coâ€"operating with these groups to| the fullest extent and to make use of every facility offered in this connection in the finding of suitable homes for| 2, The relatives in Canada must volunteer their home to the local Children‘s Aid Society and notify the Society concerning the names and ages of the children whom they wish to reâ€" Canada to whic are to go. he child or children It‘s a wonder that some of those gentlemen who have been crying for the changing of the name "Swastika‘"‘ for the pretty town near Kirkland Lake, do not suggest the changing of the name of Laval University because the name "Laval" is borne by the Deputy Dictator of fallen France. if the increased prices are due to profiteering of corporations, those responsible should be dealt with in a way that would not leave them rich or comfortable. At Ottawa this week parliament gave the Warâ€" time Prices and Trade Board practically unlimitâ€" ed police powers to prevent profiteering in these serious days. It is to be hoped that the board will use its powers to the fullest extent. Careful enâ€" quiry should be made in regard to recent advances in the prices of certain foodstufis. If these are warranted, the public should be given the facts. If farmers are receiving additional prices for products there will be little complaint, as it is generally believed that farm prices have been too low to allow fair profits to the producers. But and meanâ€"but it is also specially unpatriotic. It will take money to replace the wantonly broken windows, and every dollar spent to redeem waste means a dollar less that Canada hasâ€" to give for war purposes. cal inspection before leaving Great Pritain. Upon arrival in Ontario there is a brief period of waiting in Toronto or some other centre where a further and more thorough examinaâ€" tion will be made. This examination is carried out by a staff of doctors exâ€" perienced in work among children and !_is supplemented. by a dental survey | similar to that now made in Ontario |schools. Every care will be taken to ensure that all Child Guests placed in private homes,. are sound and healthy in every respect. Any child whom the 'examinatjon discloses requires further i medical care will not be placed in a private home. l Fach Child Guest is subject to mediâ€" Ssome persons have voiced a desire to provide homes for aged, sick or cripâ€" pied: friends or relatives now resident in Great Britain. Any such movement must be arranged by private agreement and does not enter into the general plan of Child Guests coming to Canada. Concgerning QOlder Persons The children for placement range in age from five to sixteen years, incluâ€" sive. Only in very special circumâ€" stances will the program deviate from these age groups. After the child has been placed, unâ€" foreseen circumstances may develop which might render desirable the reâ€" moval of the child or children from the home. Such cireumstances would inâ€" clude a death in the family or other considerations affecting the financial condition of the home. It must be borne constantly in mind, however, that in accepting a Child Guest, the perâ€" sons providing the home are undertakâ€" ing a serious responsibility and one which should not be entered. upon lightly or without full consideration of the factors involved. Small: annoyances and discomforts must be overlooked and if the plan is to succeed, those who provide homes must be prepared. to make concessions of a personal: nature in behalf of a ‘most humanitarian Ccause. d C t io 1 e 1t s s c s ie s ie ie ie se ie ie nb en enc eb 4n in tanih 2 it h. 19. t _4 14 14. . % *# ie oooooooooooooooo000000000000000.00.9000ooooooo w8 jÂ¥ 08 h4 h9. 00. 4. ha, t 0 on i8448 o aa"ae on en se , Â¥a, 08 09 #e0, en e4, 6# 0‘0 3 Toronto Telegramâ€"Many a man has had his feelings injured by jumping at conclusions, us aa*aa*s a* 42 14. 140 ) *# a is ly it j%6 it it ‘+_ s s o s s s ts on * ue acl es eie s ealuataate ate etectastentects ouoonoooo?ooooooooooooootovooooo:00000000\.:.3.00.00.00.00.00.. # ® #°% L 2 ue wige iL Ti ie P We wee 5e e ud e w * Under no cireumstances, however, will the host be called upon to bear the cost of hospitalization or of major medical carse.

Should illness develop after the child has bsen. placed, the host will be exâ€" pected to provide ordinary medical care in the same manner as he would if the child were hisown. In some communiâ€" ties the local medical association has volunteered the services of its members to assist in the work of maintaining the health of these children. In the final analysis, the person who{ volunteers to accept a child must reâ€" member that this program is designed to meet a serious emergency and. that many considerations which might nor«â€" mally oktain must be foregone. This is wholly a humanitarian and patriotie movement, and so long as there are private homes in Ontario, so long must the persons who live in those homes be called. upon to make sacrifi¢es in this common cause.
