Ordinarily there will be no difficuity in answering this quesion, but cases may occur in which the regisâ€" trant, by reason of honest doubt or lack of kncwledge on this subject, will be unable to determine the appropriate answer. In such cases the Deputy fillâ€" |ing in his card should ask the man in authcrity for his interpretation. The following answers should be given under this heading: British subâ€" [ ject. For all British subjects (a) by birth or marriage the answer will be "ves," all other questions under this heading being left blank. (b) Enter "Yes" for all BRritish subjects by naturâ€" |alization. <(c) Poreign citizens. If the person is not a British subject and cwes allegiance to a foreign country |the answer to this question will be "Yes."" (d) Naturalized. For naturalâ€" |ized citizens enter the year of naturalâ€" jization. In the case of persons who were naturalized as children with their | parents, if they do not know the exact ‘year an approximate year will suffice. |(e) What platce. Enter the name of the place in Canada where the person | was naturalized. (f) Country of Allegiâ€" | ance. Enter the country to which forâ€" |scign citizens living in Canada owe ‘allegiance. Do not accept unknown as an answer. Some cases will be met where the registrant was bern a Briâ€" tish subject and subsequently reâ€" ‘nounced his British citizenship in order | to become a citizen of some other counâ€" try. In such cases the first part of the question "British subject" is to be interâ€" preted as asking whether the registrant is or is not now a British subject, and ' the registrant would indicate the counâ€" iry to which he now owes allegiance. l(g) Year of Immigration. If the perâ€" ‘ son was born cutside of Canada enter .tâ€"he year of entry into Canada. Note it is important to remember that a person born out of Canada, whose father was a British subject at the time | of that person‘s birth, does not need to be naturalized to acquire Canadian citizenship, unless such person has become a citizen of a foreign country.

This National Registration is compulsory and any evasion is punishâ€" able by severe penalty. But even if that were not the case, we believe our people of all races would comply with it readily. In doing this, however, let ! no one delude himself with the thought that his responsibilities are over.

"We are keenly appreciative of the difficulties that the tragedy forced upon us, brings to loyal German Canâ€" adians. Many of them still have close ties of kinship with their Fatherland and the sentiments which arise from that fact are not readily eradicated, nor should they be under less dangerous circumstances, This, however, is the day of stern realism. All those who love Canada must put Canada first, and must act with all the force of which they are capable, remembering that the war is not of Canada‘s creâ€" ation, not of Britain‘s creation, but was conceived and plotted in the Chanâ€" celleries of Germany and Italy, with the dominating object of crushing all nations that would not bow the knee to the Dictators‘ views of civilization. This is the challenge which Britain and her (with their own aksolute powsr of selfâ€"government) accepted. This is the war which, with Canada‘s help in man power, supplies and undaunted courage, must be won, and will be won if all that is worth living for is not to vanish from this land which we cheerfully accepted as ‘"The views expressed by Der Nordâ€" westen from week to week do not exâ€" aggerate the seriousness of the situaâ€" tion that confronts us.

That seems too much for even Hitler to force upon the Nazis. It is said that the new beer developed from the fact that Hitler had a special beer prepared for himself, this beer having an alcoholic beer content of only one per cent. The story from Berlin says that the stuff looks like beer, tastes like beer, but it isn‘t exactly what you would call beer. It sounds something like the 44 beer that was wished upon the thirsty people of Ontario in the dark days of the Ontario Temperance Act. The people here wouldn‘t stand the 4.4 stuff. If the Germans, a beerâ€" loving people when they were sober, have sunk to such depths that they will adopt Hitler‘s bogus beer as the national drink, then the downfall of the people is not far distant. This week a reader of The Advance received a letter from one of the local lads in the CASFP. stationed "Someâ€" where in Canada." After telling of camp life the letter strikes a very pathetic and touching note. It deals with the death and burial of "Tanker." To give an explanatory reason for his sinceére sorrow and those of the batâ€" talion, the writer told how "Tanker" became attached to all. He was a real pal and made friends with everyone. Never late on parade, attending all drills and route marches, and even doing his turn at guard duty, he made an excelâ€" lent soldier. Meal time found him in the mess room where not to be outdone, the choicest of the billâ€"ofâ€"fare came his way. His happy, easy, friendly, style made him a favourite with officers and men alike. Then the camp was shockâ€" ed by the news of the accident which caused his death,. All ranks rose to the occasion and a full military funeral was ordered. A coffin secured and CNCO.‘s detailed as pallbearers and the interment held with full military honours. His grave was given a place of honour in the camp grounds and the burial place marked with a headstone at the foot of the flagpole. Truly a place of honour for so worthy a pal."
