Even if he evenâ€" tually gets the word wrong he can blame it on the ‘Jinotype operator. The linotype operator, however. may mutter like a radio announcer, but that won‘t help the spelling of the word. He has no reference books to consult. He is supposed to ‘"follow copy," and the copy is always right. If it is wrong it is because the linotype operator misread It.. That is tradition, and the law of the Medes and the Persians that altereth not. The present war appears to have brought forth all the kindness and sympathy that seems to be inherent in the kindly people of Canada. There is generous sympathy for the direct victims of the war. There is thoughtfulsympathy for the solâ€" _diers, the sailors, the airmen, in their dangerous _and dreary duties. There is kindly sympathy for the Red Cross. the doctors, the nurses, the orderlies, the ambulance drivers, in their brave work of rescue and help. There is ready sympathy even for the radio announcers who have to pronounce all the strange names of men and places that the war:â€"has brought into prominence. Â¥Yes, there is even some sympathy for the editors who have to publish all the shocking names. This is a plea for sympathy for the modest linotype operators who have to set up the outlandish names and get no credit for success but all sorts of abuse for any slips that may be macde. The radio operator gets by .simply by muttering the name and leaving the rest to static. The editor simply looks up the strange word in the gazetteer or encyclopedia. If the first letter is right, he will eventually find the correct spelling, if he looks earnestly enough. It may be that he will need to look for It is admitted that there is little chance of a conquest of Canada from any force coming by way of Hudson Bay.. But the fact remains that the most deplorable damage could be done by the enemy by an adventure of the type feared by many in Cochrane. An â€"enemy vessel carrying aircraft could wreck mines and communities in the North, destroy power plants and do so much damage as is not heartening to consider: Canâ€" ada‘s back door should certainly be guarded careâ€" fully and well. The Cochrane proposal is that this may be done economically and effectively by maintaining a small chain of air fields and air forces in the Hudson Bay area, joining them up. with the other chain established to guard the West. As an aside, it may be said that there are some airfields already in the area referred to. | There was a time when the Government of Canada took that superficially "high and mighty" attitude of the impossibility of the apparently difficult. The Advance understands that today with greater information at hand the possibility of danger from the northern approach is not so lightly brushed aside. Instead ,it is understood, the presentâ€"day attitude is understood to be that there are so many other calls upon Canada, so many other "fronts" to watch, that this one must be left to chance. The suggestion is even made that should the danger materialize Canada would have warning enough to take adequate measures. "The Eskimos," it is said, "will give very prompt notice of the appearance of strange aircraft in the far North, or the arrival of any foreign vessels near the Staits."‘ The Eskimos do send word of strange happenings of any kind. A week ago they relayed information of three murders on Belcher Islands. .But the murders had occurred weeks before the word reached the authorities. That sort of sentinel duty would. be of little service to Canada in case of any mad attack from the far North. | son Bay area, but that in addition these are supported by practically innumerable photoâ€" graphs, some taken from the air. There are several months when the Straits and the Bay are free from ice and safe for navigation. Those inclined to scoff at the possibility of any trouble from the enemy in the far North, when forced to admit that German craft might be brought into Hudson Bay, are ready to stump opposition with theé question: "But how are the German ships to get across the seas to reach Hudson‘s Straits?" The answer to that one is the fact that enemy craft have been on this side of the Atlantic on several occasions. The danger of the menace from the far North can not be lightly disregarded. It is nothing to sneer about. It was exactly that sort of superâ€" ficial smartness and supposed deep knowledge â€" that idea that certain things were impossible and absurd â€" that contributed to the downfall of so many European nations . Hon. Winston Churchill some years ago was branded as a flighty alarmist for warning Britain of dangers that at the time appeared as absurd as the present thought of the invasion of Canada by way of Hudson Bay. On the part of a few there is a-bende’nc‘y to scoff at the whole question. It is said that ice blocks the Hudson Straits most of the year, and that no Nazi ships could possibly navigate the way through Hudson‘s Bay Last year Magistrate Tucker took a personal trip through the Straits and saw for himself that not only does the voy-,j age involve few hazards for skilled navigators with the necessary data, but also that there are ideal locations natural, and acquired, for landing and caring for troops and aircraft.

In one daily paper last week it was spelied "Massawa" and ‘"Massaua." The Casâ€" sel‘s Gazetteer gave it as "Massawah." One encycâ€" lopedu had it ‘"Massowah." â€"Another‘s version was "Massauah." Perhaps the variety is due to the difference in 4inotype operators. The Encycâ€" lopedia Britannica adds one more to the variaâ€" tions. Here is part of what that distinguished reference word has to say about Massaw, Masâ€" sawa, Massaua, Massawah, Massowah : â€" "Massawa or Massowah, a t.own on the African coast of the Red Sea, chief port of the Italian colony in Eritrea. . Population, 12,275, including 137 Euro- peans, The town stands at the north end of the Bay of Massawa and is built partly on a small coral island of the same name, and partly on the islets of Tautlub and Sheik Said, and the neighbouring .mainâ€" land. The harbour is formed by the channel between the island and the mainland. It affords good anchorage in from 5 to 9 fathoms. . . . The town posâ€" sesses several good public buildings, chiefly built of coral, as are the houses of the <~principal Europeans and Arabâ€" merchants. .. . Since 1912 a railway has connected Massawa with Asmura, the capital of the colony. . .. The trade conâ€" sists mainly in exporting hides, butter, cotton, coffee, etc., and importing Euroâ€" pean and Indian cotton goods.and silk." linotype operators would ‘get together and agree on the spelling of names. For instance, take that GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER : withdrawn from Benâ€" year when they were somewhat discouraged Italy‘s Red Sea port of Massaua is now surrounded ‘in> a. Bflfish pincer movement. ‘The valuable Red Sea port was reported to be toppling. In this work the whole country is to participate. The dealers of Canada have, of their own volition and at their own expense, taken the initiative in supporting the National Salvage Camâ€" paign sponsored by the Department of National War Services. Mr. Cohen‘s final remarks at the conclusion of the organization meeting bear especial significance for all Canadians: "There are vast stores of materials lying dormant in Canada‘s countless junk heaps. material will gain economic value when voluntary war effort digs it out for the market. It will give an added strength to the arsenal of Democracy. The Institute is behind the campaign in every reâ€" spect. That is the basic reason for our organization. â€" It is the way>we soâ€" called "Junk Dealers" will help fight Hitler. | _ On February the 28th the Waste Material Dealers of Canada, of their own volition, and at their own exâ€" pense, met in Ottawa and formed a new organization for the express purâ€" pose of helping the National Salvage | Campaign, which will be officially launched on April the 14th. The Canaâ€" dian Institute of Secondary Materials, | by which name the association will be known, aims to cooperate with local organizations in the collection and disâ€" posal of scrap materials during the 'course of the national drive. Under the new name the dealers held their first meeting in Toronto on March 24th when a constitution was drawn and application made to the Dominion Government for a charter. â€" _ "We are pledged to get the maximum results, and we are prepared to make any financial sacrifices which may be necessary to this end. We, who are engaged in the secondary materials inâ€" dustry, know the importance of the salvage task, and we consider it a duty and a privilege to cooperate in harnessâ€" ing our industry to the Country‘s War Effort.‘" To make available to Canadian Inâ€" dustry a vast. amount of material which would ordinarily be wasted and to divert the proceeds therefrom to war purposes is a truly patriotic work Dealers. in.. secondary materials throughout Canada are represented in the membership of the nationâ€"wide organization. â€"Men, recognized for their experience and skill in their reâ€" spective fields, have been appointed chairmen of group committees:‘ Messrs.

Wavell‘s forces t is high time that the Government decided to treat soldiers on leave with some sort of fair play and consideration in the matter of transporâ€" tation. The honourable plan would be to provide transport.at.lon for soldiers on leave. In the meantime, however, the Government should see to it that soldiers on leave should not be impropâ€" erly penalized in regard to the tickets purchased from the railways with the soldiers‘ own money. Reports from Camp Borden are to the effect that the railways are adding to the troubles of the soldiers on leave. Some soldiers wish to purchase single fare tickets to their homes with the idea of returning by bus, the latter plan suiting the time better. The soldiers, however, are not alâ€" lowed to buy single tickets. Neither can they buy a return ticket and dispose of the return part. Recently a soldier was in police court charged with the "crime" of selling the return part of his ticket which he did not wish to use, as he intended to return to camp by bus. This brings up the question as to the desirability of maintaining that discriminatory legislation in regard to the sale of railway tickets. When a man buys a suit of underwear or a radio, he can dispose of the propeérty «as he pleases. Why should there be any difference in reference to railway tickets. It is true that refunds. may be secured on some tickets, but this takes unnecesâ€" sary time and trouble. Now, that the railways have made an issue of this matter with the solâ€" diers as the victims, it might be a good time to revise the law and take away this discriminatory privilege from the railways. seemedâ€"to be withdrawing all along the line. It developed last year that General Wavell‘s withâ€" drawals were but the prelude to greater advances. Again it is timely to ask why the Government does not utilizse the air field at Porquis Junctionâ€" one of the best in Canada â€"for the training of airmen under the Empire Air Training Plan?
