U. S. A., >2.00‘TURNING THE TRICK”WAS ABLY PRESENTEDClever Acting In a Comedy Drama At Sacred Heart Hall On Monday and Tuesday Evenings. One of the most outstanding pres­ entations given in recent years, un­ der the auspices of the Young Lad­ ies’ Sodality of the Church of the Sacred Heart, was the three act comedy drama, “Turning the Trick,” in the Sacred Heart Hall on Monday and Tuesday evenings, March 16th and 17th. The play was produced through special arrangement with the Walter H. Baker Company of Boston, Mass., and was staged under the direction of Rev. Father A. F. Scalisi to whom great credit is due for the manner* in which the arrangements and details were carried out and for the care tha$ _ was exercised inselecting membe’" *'f the cast to so admirably fill .... character each played. The setting for the play was the living room . in the residence of Patrick Casey, in New York City. The time was the present. The scen­ ery was designed and painted by£®iarry Whitwell and the lighting effects were the work of Edward Haduck. Great credit is due these young men for their fine work and to their assistants, Mr. Hector Val­ lee, Thomas Comiskey and Stanley Shannon. The first act was at three o’clock on a Monday afternoon, the second act, the next day at four o’clock and act three was Tuesday at midnight. Many mixed situations developed throughout the play, the plot of which centred around turning the trick Mary Anne' Casey, Patrick Casey’s wife and his daughter, Kath­ leen. who were bent on becoming somebodies and squandering the wealth amassed by Casey, a retired wealthy contractor. Miss Marjorie Haffey, a favorite in these annual plays, once again gave a stellar performance in the roll of Mary Anne Casey. Bernadette Tallant played the part of Kathleen in her usual able manner, Patrick Casey was acted by Stanley Shannon who well suited this part. Thomas Com­ iskey took the roll of Michael Casey, Patrick’s son. He was in difficulty over poker debts and having over­ spent his regular allowance, got in with diamond smugglers in order to get funds to pay off his debts with­ out calling upon his father. George Drake, played by Joseph Halter, who is in love with Kathleen and re­ ceived little consideration from her,•^r’ed his part well. Mrs. Fred Mc- Dermptt was excellent, playing the part of Maggie Casey, a part she took when the comedy was presented a number of years ago. She always appeared disgusted with her mother and sister Kathleen in their desire to become social climbers and squan­ der her father's wealth. Eileen, the maid, who turned out to be a daughter of one of Casey’s old millionaire friends and who be­ came involved in a love affair with Michael, was taken by Mary Foster, whose acting was of a very high order and well suited the character. Margaret Copeland took the character, Madam Anna Bairski. As a direct descendant of Russian no­ bility, she won the favor of Mrs. (Continued on page 5) Duplicate Bridge Club There were 8*’a tables in play at the regular weekly meeting of the Ingersoll Duplicate Bridge Club, which was held o<\ Monday evening, at the Ingersoll Inn, The high score* were;North and South 1, Mrs. T, R, Jones, A.

THOMAS MINISTER KIWANIS SPEAKER Rev. Gordon Rahner, Past President of St. Thomas Club, Addressed Ingersoll Kiwanians. 79 per cent of the members of the Ingersoll Kiwanis Club were on hand for the regular weekly supper meeting at the Ingersoll Inn last Thursday evening at 6.15. President Henry I. Stewart occupied the chair and the guest speaker was a past president of the St. Thomas Kiwanis Club, Rev. Gordon Rayner, pastor of Grace Street United Church, St. Thomas. The speaker was introduced by a fellow clergyman, and personal friend, Kiwanian R. Harold Parr. Rev. Mr. Rayner confined his re­ marks to discussing the present world situation. He declared: “We certainly cannot win this war by kidding ourselves, by damning Hitler, or by laughing it off and assuring ourselves that because Britain has always won every other important battle she will again win the Inst and decisive battle of this war.” The speaker stressed the necessity of a broader outlook in conection with war and less inaction. He referred to the freedom which we as Canadians have always been able to enjoy and added that it might not be possible to enjoy these idea) conditions for very long if we do not get together and broaden our outlook in regards to the present world situation. He advocated that the people of Canada take a stand now for a total all-out war effort and forget petty thingii. The thanks of the club were ex­ tended to the speaker by Kiwanian Rev. Harry E. Merifield. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Neely Presented With Gifts Mr. and Mrs. William A.

The climax to the controversy among the members of the Town Council over the resignation of Con­ stables Holmes and Cowan, theii suspension by Mayor Murray and the request for the resignation of Chief Constable Alex. Callander, which was never submitted, is that all members of tho Police Force were retained in their former status by vote of three to two at a special meeting of the Town Council held on Thursday even­ ing, February” 12, at 9 o’clock, in the council chamber. A committee of citizens waited up­ on members of the council at a com­ mittee meeting in the clerk’s office previous to the special session and presented petitions signed by many citizens voicing disapproval at the suggested action to dismiss the chief. As the'result of this, when Mayor Murray called the special session of the council to order, Clerk McNiven read resignations handed him by Councillor S. H. Underwood and Councillor L- J- Martin, members of the Police Committee. These coun­ cillors stated they wished their resig­ nations to become effective at once. The petitions were then read by the clerk and were worded as fol­ lows: “To the Mayor and Members of the Ingersoll Council:— We, the undersigned citizens and ratepayers of the Town of Ingersoll, being disturbed by rumours to the effect that our council are about to insist on the resignation of Police Chief Callander, wish to voice our disapproval’of this action and sug­ gest that a committee of representa­ tive citizens be allowed to wait upon the council in an endeavour to retain his services.’* There were a number of petitions similarly worded and these contained many names. On motion of Councillors George Preston and Kenneth R. Daniel, a resolution was presented to the effect that the Corporation of the Town of Ingersoll terminate the contract with the Chief of Police as of the 14th day of April, 1942, and that the clerk forward a copy of the resolution to the Chief Constable and notify him of the termination of the said agree­ ment as of April 14th, 1942. Councillor Hurry T. Bower then moved the following t amendment which was seconded by Councillor Archie W. Clark. "That in amend­ ment to the motion to dismiss the Chief Constable that all the mem­ bers of our Police Force be re­ tained at their former status and this matter be dropped until there is some cause for taking action.” The council chamber was well fill­ ed for the special meeting and in­ terest appeared at a high pitch. Councillor Preston voiced object­ ion to the amendment and reviewed :he history of the case which has been reported a number of times previously. He exchanged words with His Worship the Mayor, who interrupted him a number of times to request that he speak only to the resolutions before the council. Councillor Clark spoke in support of the amendment explaining that he believed the case had been more of a dispute between the council than with the Chief and members of his Department. The vote was finally taken on the amendment and resulted as follows; * Yeas”: Mayor Murray, Coun­ cillors Clark and Bower. "Nays": Councillors Preston andDaniel. The Mayor declared the amend­ ment “Carried." The resignations of Councillors Underwood and Martin were not considered as Town Solicitor W. R. Marshall ruled that only matters pertaining to the police situation could be considered at this meeting which had been especially called for that purpose. BORN MILIJR—To Mr. and Mrs. George N. Miller, (nee Marion Roden- hurst, R.N-,» London, a son— (Kenneth Douglas). Stone Employees WereEntertained By FirmThe employees of William Stone Sons, Limited, gathered at the Arm­ ouries Friday evening as guests of the firm to give a send-off to those fourteen men enlisted for active ser­ vice while in the employ of the company. After a very fine supper a sing­ song and program entertained the gathering and was thoroughly en­ joyed. Exceptionally fine numbers were given by Bruce McMillan and Margaret Lewis of Woodstock, and Paul Butler, known as “Wing the. Magician.” / A film was shown and talk ^de­ livered on “Accident Prevention”, by C. •H. Nelson, Secretary of Wes­ tern Division of the Industrial.Acci­ dent Prevention Association, Lon­ don, which was both timely and im­ pressive. Mr. F. H. Stone, president of the company, acted as chairman and Mr. R. A. Stone as master of ceremonies. MOUNT ELGIN-SALFORD RADIO FARM FORUM A joint meeting of the Mount El­ gin-Salford Radio Farm Forum was held Monday evening at the home of Mr. George Abraham with a large attendance in spite of the inclem­ ent weather and bad roads. The subject of the broadcast and subse­ quent discussion was “Education for Rural Life.” Mrs. Charles Stoakley directed the discussion groups and summarized the findings of the evening. It was felt that much more could be done for the rural schools in helping farm people to make a living and be better citizens. The inclusion of manual training, home economics, commercial and agri­ culture should be taught by properly qualified teachers, which at present the country could not afford to pro­ vide for. In the meantime the towns and cities have full equipment and qualified teachers for a much wider curriculum. Many girls and boys have not the ability or the fac­ ility of going further than entrance grade. From then on they must ac­ quire an education by the hard road of their fathers, that of experience. Night schools could be provided for older pupils and adults. With regard to the question as to whether the rural schools prepared young people for farming or en­ couraged in them a love for rural life, there was a distinct answer in the negative. The children in the ■urban schools are given a much better training for life than rural schools nt present can provide. The cities can afford to pay and do draw the best teachers from the country. They can also equip their school, for a varied curriculum. As a solution to this unequal sit­ uation, the Larger School Unit was discussed. With centralized admin- istration and more specialized teach­ ing made available. It was agreed to study this phase of the question further and to secure further lead­ ership from Toronto. Mrs. Charlie Smith conducted a recreational period. Lunch was served and a very pleasant and pro- fitable evening was brought to a close by singing the National An­ them. She was four years old when her little brother, the son and heir, arrived, and great was her delight in the christening party, especially the snowy white cake with the little silver cradle on the top, Then, two or three weeks later, she was taken to a wedding and at the reception was close to the bride when the lat­ ter began to cut the wedding cake. Her face fell, and she rushed to her mother. “Mummy, they’ve forgotten the cradle!” C. C, L. S. Sponsor Euchre A very successful euchre party was held in the school on Friday evening last, sponsored by the Cook’s Corners’ Literary Society. High scores were won by MargaretWheeler and Ray Sadler while thelow scores were won by Shirley Clark and George McNeil. Lunch was served at the conclusion. The next euchre will be held on March 20th, when the draw for the quilt donated by Mrs. R H. Wilson will take place.

Underwood be accepted as per their request of March 12th. On motion of Councillors Bower and Clark, the sum of $5000.00 was placed to the credit of the Ingersoll Board of Education as per their re­ quest of March 14th. Councillor H. T. Bower moved, seconded by Councillor Archie W. Clark, “That the action of the Mayor and Treasurer in borrowing the sum of seven thousand dollars from the Royal Bank of Canada, Ingersoll, to purchase Dominion of Canada Second Victory Loan Bonds of $7,000.00 and hypothecating the same as collateral security, the said loan to be repaid from the surplus held in Sinking Fund By-Law No. 731, payable May 1st, 1942, be hereby ratified and con­ firmed.” On motion of Councillors Preston and Daniel, Norsworthy Chapter I.O.D.E. werV given permission to hold their annual Tag Day for their Milk Fund on Saturday, May 2nd.

Bartley, organist and choir mas­ ter of the church who also played organ selections during intermission and gave organ accompaniment to some numbers. The work of the choir reflected great credit on the efforts of the conductor, Miss Ruth Cuthbertson, Supervisor ’ of Music for thy Inger­ soll Public Schools.

He then went on to des­ cribe his homeward journey and the difficulties of transoceanic travel. In speaking of Canada he stated that our Eastern defences were good, but that with improveigents in mechanical inventions, Gerrifun planes could fly from Norway and back to bomb us.

A Dublin motorist recently gave up trying to run his car, and took no a bicycle. The next evening, when he’d finished doing some shop­ ping in town, he jumped on to a street car and went home. He forgot all about his bicycle until his wife BLITZ-BUSTERS mentioned it. He hurried back into town, but remembering all the stories he’d heard of cycle thefts, he cherished small hope of finding his again. To his surprise, however, it was still parked by the curb where he’d left it. "There you are!” he said, “just shows how the news­ papers exaggerate thia sort of thing” He rode off. As a tribute to the honesty of ail those who hadn’t pinched his bike, he pedalled over to a nearby church and went in, and put a contribution in the poor box. When he came out his bike..__ was gone. i Two women were discussing the best method of getting rid of un­ welcome visitors. Said Mrs. Brown: "My dear, it's quite simple. I al­ ways put on my hat and coat when I hear the doorbell. Then if it’a someone I don’t want to/be bothered with, I just say, ‘What a pity, I’m just going out’.” “And suppose it’s someone you do want to see?” asked the other. “Oh, then I say: "How fortunate, I’ve just come in’.” These two-pounder anti-tank guns are being turned out in large quantities from a Canadianfactory.

She turned out to be in reality an under­ world character and connected with a ring of thieves desirous of secur­ ing the smuggled diamonds that were in the keeping of Michael. John K. Shand did well in his first public appearance in a, play. He acted the part of “Humpy” Steele, a janitor, who admittcdr as the plot unravelled, to being the real crook and pleaded guilty to smuggling the diamonds, thus absolving Michael. James Warden took the role of Jim Dougherty, a detective and his acting was superb, considering the fact that this was only his second time in a play. Hector Vallee, really stole the show. Playing the part of ArmandFrancois Bon-Aime Delovier, he'lcefif the audience fairly shrieking with laughter by his clever actions and expressions. At the end he appear­ ed on the scene garbed in a bed sheet when his clothes were stolen by “Humpty” Steele.

The sparetire in the back compartment blewout and the front windshield crackedfrom the excessive heatEdward Jackson, who resides inthe apartment adjoining Mr.Clark’s garage, on Oxford street,was awakened Sunday morning bythe smell of smoke apparently com­ing from the Clark Garage. He noti­ fied the Fire Department and when they arrived on the scene the garage was filled with dense clouds of black smoke and the interior of the Clark car was smouldering. When a door on the car was opened, the interior broke out in flames but was soon put under control by the use of chemi­ cals, Mr. Clark in discussing the fire said he put the car in the garage before midnight on Saturday and everything appeared alright at the time. It had been parked in front of his garage on Oxford street pre­ vious to that. He gave little credence to the suggestion that it might have been caused from a cigarette or cigar, as he docs not smoke himself and no other person was in the car for some hours previous to the time he put it in for the night, which was over ten hours before the fire was noticed. There was no sign of fire when he left the car but he suggested the possibility of a short circuit, as the horn was blowing continuously when the firemen arrived on the scene. It is understood the damage is covered by insurance. A b—3-------—bbA COUNCIL LOWER TAX (Continued from page 1) "carried”, Councillor Daniel spoke up saying, “It looks as if we will have to take steps to fill our ranks. There are two vacant seats. What will the proccedure be. Clerk McNiven replied that the Mayor, Clerk or members of the council had the power to issue a war; rant to call a nomination meeting and hold an election. Councillor Daniel replied that the other night Mr. Marshall had said the vacancies could be filled by appoint­ ments made by the council. Mr. Marshall replied that such in­ formation had been received from the Department of Municipal Affairs but they later reversed their decis­ ion and said the Government Exten­ sions Act did not apply to Ingersoll and an election would have to be held. Mr. Daniel then stated that if it were found that the Government Ex­ tensions Act did not apply to Inger­ soll, the Mayor would not legally be in office as he had taken office this year by acclamation under the Gov­ ernment Extensions Act. This question started the ball" rolling, several members took part in the discussion and expressed var­ ious opinions on the situation. The general view being that the Govern­ ment had made a law and the offic­ ials of the Department of Municipal Affairs were not sure themselves of the proper interpretation of the act as it applies to Ingersoll, Councillor Bower suggested that the council should go slow on the matter and Councillors Preston and Daniel asked that the Clerk get a written ruling on the matter from the Department at Toronto, for in the event of an election being nec­ essary there might also have to be one for Public Utilities Commis­ sioner and School Trustees.

Par­ticularly.” added DeWitt acidly,"about the time he left the office.Frankly, he wasn’t much interestedin long hours or hard work; he leftmost of the plugging to me. Ourmain offices are downtown, butwe’ve always made a habit of re­turning to our branch at TimesSquare after Wall Street closing,and leave there for West Engle­wood. Longstreet generally quit thebranch the same time every day, alittle before six. He always madethe same train on the Jersey side.When I didn’t stay late at the of­fice, I often went back to WestEnglewood with him.”“Let’s be frank about thib thing,Mr. DeWitt. You heard MissBrowne accuse you of killing Long­street. Of course that’s nonsense.But she said you hated him. Did you?”“I am innocent of my partner'smurder, it that is what you meanby frankness.”Thumm stared into DeWitt’sclear eyes, then shrugged andturned to the rest of the party."Everybody here will please meetme at the Times Square office ofDeWitt & Longstreet tomorrow atnine A.

I workedfor Mr. Longstreet for four and ahalf years as a sort of confidentialsecretary.”“Tell me—how did Longstreet andDeWitt get along?”“They didn’t They were alwayssquabbling. Mr. DeWitt always ob­jected when he thought Mr. Long­street wrong, but always gave infinally."“What was Longstreet’s attitudetoward DeWitt?"Anna Platt twisted her fingers.“He knew Mr. DeWitt was the bet-ter business man and he didn't likeit. So he just bore down and gotthings his own way. even if it costthe firm money."Inspector Thumm’s eyes wan­dered up and down the girl's fig­ure. "You're smart. Miss Platt.We're going to get along. Did De­Witt hate Longstreet?"She lowered her eyes. “Yes, Ithink he did. 4 think I know why, too. It's an open scandal that Mr.Longstreet"—her voice hardened— "had been having an affair withMrs. DeWitt I'm sure Mr. De­Witt knew, although 1 never heardhim refer to it""If Longstreet loved DeWitt’swife how is it he became engagedto Miss Browne?"“Mr. Longstreet didn’t love any­one but himself He had affairs allthe lime, and I suppose Mrs. De­Witt thought he was crazy abouther and no one else ... A coupleof months ago Mr. Longstreet madeadvances to Jeanne DeWitt in thisroom and there was an awful argu­ment. because Mr Lord came inand saw what was happening andknocked him down Then Mr. De­Witt came in quickly and they sentme away. I don't know what hap­pened later, but it seemed to bepatched up.”"Do you think Ixmgstreet hadsome sort of hold on DeWitt?""I’m not sure Every once in awhile Mr. Longstreet demandedlarge sums of money from Mr De­Witt. ’personal loans.* he’d say with■ nasty laugh, and he'd gel them. In fact, only a week ago he askedMr. DeWitt for a loan of twenty-five thousand dollars, Mr, DeWittwas awfully mad; I thought he’d have apoplexy . . .”"I shouldn’t wonder,” murmured Thumm."They had quite a fuss, but hegave in. as usual""What did Longstreet do with allthat dough? This office alone musthave given him a big income."Anna Platt's brown eyes flashed."Mr. Longstreet could spend moneyfaster than anyone you ever saw.He lived high, played the races,the market—and lost nearly all the time. He cashed his bonds and realestate securities long ago. I’ll bethe hasn't left a penny."Thumm drummed thoughtfully onthe glass-topped desk. “Miss Platt,we’re both grown people. Was thereanything between you and Long­street?"She jumped up angrily. "What doyou mean! Just because you're a cop, do I have to be insulted?"“Sit down. Sister.” Thummgrinned as she sank back into thechair. "I suppose he promisedto marry you. too? Threw you overfor Mrs. DeWitt?”"Well—" she was studying thetiled floor, “yes.” When Thumm spoke again, it was on different matters. He learnedthat on Friday afternoon, beforeLongstreet had left the office forCherry Browne’s apartment, Col­lins had dashed in, purple withrage, and accused him of double-crossingi DeWitt had been out atthe time. Collins had demanded that Longstreet make good the fif­ty thousand dollars Collins had loston International Metals. Longstreet had pacified Collins by saying:"Don’t worry, Mike, I’ll see thatDeWitt pulls you through." He hadinvited Collins to the engagementparty, promising to speak to De­Witt there. Inspector Thumm summoned De­Witt, who was chalky but self-pos-sess.ed. Thumm said directly:“I’m going to repeat a question Iasked you last night, and I insiston an answer. Why did you hateyour partner?""I refuse to be bullied, InspectorThumm.""Very well," said Thumm, "butyou’re making the biggest mistakeof your life . . . How did Mrs. De­Witt and Longstreet get along—good friends were they?”“Look here!” shouted DeWitt.“What the devil are you drivingat?" The Inspector smiled. 'Take Iteasy. Were you and Longstreetequal partners?”"Yes." said DeWitt in a smoth­ered voice."How long were you In businesstogether?”•Twelve years."“How did you two happen toteam up?"“We made our fortunes in SouthAmerica before the last war.

We returned and con­tinued our affiliation in the broker- “You’ve been successful?"“Quite.""Then why. if you were both suc­cessful and had fortunes to beginwith, did Longstreet borrow moneyfrom you continually?" ’This is ridiculous. I loaned himmoney occasionally, but these weretrivial sum*—""DeWitt." said Thumm. “you'relying. You've been paying Long-street a great deal of money. Youprobably never expected to seeyour money again. I want toknow why."DeWitt sprang from the chair,his face purplish-white. “You're ex­ceeding your authority! This thinghad nothing to do with Longstreet'sdeath! I—'*“No melodramaties. Wait out- DeWitt shook himself and left theroom.The interview with Mrs. DeWittwas short end sterile. She coldly denied any relationship other thanfriendship with Longstreet. Shescuffed at the inatouailoa Long- street had been attracted to Jeanne.Did she have any suspicion herhusband was being blackmailed? "How silly!" Aside from elicitingthe fact she and DeWitt had beenmarried for six years, and thatJeanne was his daughter by a for­mer marriage, Thumm discoverednothing.Thumm called Franklin Ahearn,but learned nothing except that he,an engineer and DeWitt were good neighbors. Next be called CherryBrowne,It was a completely altered ac­tress who faced the Inspector. Sheseemed to have recovered her nat­ural gayety. Her face was care­fully made up; she was dressed inmodish black. Her answers weredecisive. She had met Longstreetat a ball five months before. He had “rushed” her for severalmonths, and they had decided to an­nounce their engagement. Sheseemed childishly certain he hadJett millions. She admitted that heraccusation of the night before badbeen prompted by hysteria.“But Harley told me ever so oftenthat DeWitt hated him," she added.Christopher Lord stalked in.Thumm stood squarely before him and they stared, eye for eye. Yes.Lord said, he had knocked Long­street down and didn’t regret it one bit He hnd tendered his resigna­ tion to DeWitt, his immediate su­perior, but DeWitt had placatedMgi. He had allowed the matter todrop because he liked DeWitt andso, if Longstreet repeated his of­fensive advances, he would be onthe scene to protect Jeanne. Jeanne added nothing, except todefend her father with spirit. Louis Imperial? and his sleekvandyke turned back to Tttumm,bowing courteously. He had beenDeWitt's good friend for four yearsnow. having met him in Europe.“Mr. DeWitt has been most kind," he said. “Each of the fourtimes since then that I have cometo your country on business formy firm, the Swiss Precision Instru­ments Company. I have been hisguest for the duration of my stay."Collins followed. His answerswere snappish, ill-humored, grudg­ing. Thumm gripped his arm. "Nowyou listen to me!

The war may bring unex­pected changes. Australia may not be able to send wheat to the same extent as in the past on account of the war situation in this part of the world. Argentine may encounter difficulties. Russia may not be in a position to achieve normal shipments or productions, especially since the loss temporarily of the Ukraine. In other words, the wheat situation is somewhat obscure on account of the war situation in face of the Gov­ ernment’s effort to clear up its own position and that of the Canadian./ farmer in the nation's economy. / CONSERVATIVES AND FUTURE POLICIES It is reported in Ottawa that members of the Conservative Party are studying closely the future of their organization’s policies, includ­ ing its proper place in post-war re­ construction, so that it may be in tune with the developments of the times. There is even discussion in some circles about the possibility of a conference or convention, prob­ ably next summer. CANADIANS HAVE (CONSIDER­ ABLE CASH The recent success of the Victory’ Loan campaign has emphasized the fact that Canadians have consider­ able cash, though heavy investments are made in such campaigns. Des­ pite the fact that Canadians had subscribed $731,000,000 in the first. Victory Loan campaign, total de­ posits in banks had risen to $2,- 937,000,000, an increase of $137,- 000,000. This was on December 31, 1941, in contrast to December, 19-10. It answers the question whether or' not there was enough cash money in Canada to warrant more campaigns. GRAVITY OF RUBBER SHORTAGE With the supply on hand quite limited and the essential need of rubber for war purposes or war in­ dustries certain to increase, the pres­ ent restrictions of this product for ordinary uses are only the start since the gravity of rubber short­ age cannot be exaggerated, being reduced in civilian industry from 2,800 tons a month not long ago to the present amount of 700 tons. CANADA AND “TOTAL WAR" With the world conflagration spreading rapidly its spectacular and tentacular actions so that the flames of. actual warfare are now almost reaching the shores of Canada, this non-partisan observer can report an astonishing story to the man-in-the- street of what is going on behind the scenes in the nation’s capital as the Government's staunch supporters and severe critics in and out of Par- 1 lament slash at one another without mercy in sharp verbal duels which are really being carried on to de­ termine whether the Government is or not waging a "total war effort" in its true meaning and in view of the circumstances. It is pointed out along Parlia­ ment Hill that it is no longer a war in which Canada is engaged but where the actual fighting is being waged thousands of miles away in Europe, in Africa, in Asia, or else­ where. Now, the actual fighting to mnvmg close to this continent and to the stores of this country. R to definitely a "total war" and a differ- ent war from all others in which Canada has been engaged in the past. But what to a “total war effort” at this time in the ease of Canada? In order to answer this principal question of the day, it must be stressed that final victory may not be possible without such a proper “total war effort.” Since this com- paratively young nation is passing through now its worst crisis in its history, it to not only not the proper time to consider pride, prejudice, •nd formality but the cold facts must be faced straightforwardly in their immediate and real inferences. SWEET CAPORAL Therefore, it should be clear to theman-in-the-street throughout Canadathat a “total war”'cannot be wonwithout a “total war effort” of thekind waged in modern style.Of course it is generally acknow­ledged that such a “total war effort”is an inescapable obligation on thepart of the people of Canada andthe man-inthe-street knows thatthere is obviously no intention inUlis country to avoid such a maxi­ mum contribution to the whole cause of the democracies or United Nations pact of which Canada is u signatory. However, the most fiery advocates of such a “total war ef­ fort” in this country demand only one main point, and that is that the Government should establish full conscription of manpower for over­ seas sen-ice so that Canada may have a large standing army ready ^6 serve anywhere in the world at any time. Without this accomplish­ ment, they insist that Canada can­ not be said to be waging a ‘‘total war effort”. But there is another point. They do not want to think or to talk about full conscription of wealth or resources which is possibly an essential qualification for “total war” in modern style. If the war has reached the stage where conscription of manpower for overseas service is now unavoidable for this country then conscription of wealth or re­ sources is necessary. How can it be a "total war effort" without such a "total” conscription of human and material resources? How can there be a balanced and fairly distributed share of responsi­ bility for all without a parallel form of conscription in all directions for all inhabitants, young or old, man or woman, rich or poor, each in ac­ cordance with his or her ability to fit into the “total war" machine of the country? Why should one Can­ adian merely be concerned mainly lowering of his standards of luxury including problems about new furni­ ture, new cars, vacations, slight ^food inconveniences, and so forth, while another Canadian^ is fighting for his life? “Total war" means simply a "total" conscription of all human and material resources with justice to all inhabitants so that everyone should have enough to eat, a place to live in, and some clothes on the back. This to the pol­ icy in all countries engaged in “to­ tal war” in modern style. For weeks and weeks, the question of conscription of manpower for overseas has been debated in and out of Parliament with considerable heat. It is properly argued, with common sense, that a policy of “total war" cannot tolerate any im­ plied or expressed limitation. Un­ doubtedly, this expresses the wishes and sentiments of the masses in this country. But it is peculiar that at the same time conscription of wealth or resources is not wanted at the moment. Indeed, the representa­ tives of the people of Canada have sometimes come forth strongly against any immediate full conscrip­ tion of wealth or resources, though Jjiany of them favour immediate full conscription of manpower for over­ seas. This, of course, to an obvious in­ consistency. Nevertheless, it is clear that there is no general agree­ ment along Parliament Hill as to the true meaning of a “total war effort” in the case of Canada. There are different interpretations of “tot^l war” requirements in the case of this country. But there are many well informed persons in the na­ tion's capital who hold that sooner or later there will be no possibility for the man-in-the-street to expect a “total war effort” in modern style to include full conscription of man­ power and to exclude full conscrip­ tion of wealth or resources. When this will happen will be determined by events or circumstances of war. In fact, Premier Mackenzie King himself has already dropped a hint on thia point when during a speech in the House of Commons he re­ marked that rf voluntary loans of wealth to the Government '’’-should ever fail, then wealth would be con­ scripted. "And it will be exactly the same thing in the raising of men,” be added. Furthermore, it can be reported that the war expenditures are mounting steadily and they are reaching stupendous figures. Al­ though the last Victory Loan cam­ paign was a genuine success in every manner and the people* of Canada have already loaned to the Government for war purpose* in this war over two billions of dol­ lars, yet this to not enough, sur­ prising as this statement may seem to the man in-the-street Since last Dollar for Dollar Value you can’t beattfie Used Carswe’re offering at the present time. If you* are thinking ofgetting a good used car you had better buy it now!1940 HUDSON COACH 1935 FORD COACH1936 FORD COUPE 1932 FORD B SEDAN 1931 DE SOTO 1934 FORD SEDAN ---------------------AND SEVERAL OTHERS---------------------- CITY Auto Wreckers 60 Thames Street INGERSOLL Phone 503 November alone the war costs have involved nn expenditure of about $125 a month for every head of the population and this figure is rising steadily. Indeed, it is expected in Ottawa that about sixty per cent of the total national income in this fiscal year may be used for war pur­ poses in direct or indirect manner. In other words, while phrase-mon­ gers may use various modes of ex­ pression in or out of Parliament in discussing “total war" in the case of Canada, yet there is no agree­ ment in general about the true meaning of a “total war effort” and in line with the circumstances of this country in this struggle, though there is not the slightest doubt along Parliament Hill that the danger to so great that under no circumstances will the Govern­ ment hesitate even a moment to conscript fully and immediately all wealth or resources in the land if and when conditions shall warrant such a drastic action in this war. Canada to willing to pay the price for victory regardless how great the bill may be or what sacrifices may be entailed.—-(Reproduction Prohi­ bited.)

But nowhere does the element of speed, itself the great secret of blitz tactics seem so noticeable as it docs in the new, 1942 Canadian batteries of artillery. It had been natural, expected, and gratifying to note the remark­ able ease and facility witji which the Canadian soldier is geared to the new, swift, tactical speed. Everywhere is vehicle mainten­ ance. In every instructional school and course, field exercise and prac- expecting all-out assault, including an aerial horde, that foresight is now great comfort. Perhaps we should not have been surprised that the artilleryman has risen so ably to the occasion. Pre­ cision and speed were always the gunner's gods. But the 1912 Cana­ dian gunner in England eats, sleeps, and lives with his guns—and for precision-speed. From the moment he arrives in the British Isles, with the elementary drudgery of the parade-square and most of his basic artillery training behind him, the process starts which transforms the gun, the tractor and the gun-crew into a single entity. It is not the gunner who com­ plains of lack of self-propelled firing platforms. He is too busy extracting maximum speed from his powerful gun-tractor. He is too enthusiastic­ ally engrossed in his team work, in making that single entity tick with •pounding, ex-infrantryman such asthe writer, to watch. In many different spots in Eng­ land, some of them miles apart, I watched while Canadian crews of anti-tank,Bofors, 25-pounder field guns and the grimly business-like 5.5 field-howitzers, went through their particular "Crash Action”. Each time I was fascinated by the perfection of their precision train­ ing. The exacting old-school drill­ master would have been enthralled. Each man knew his own job with sure-handed, automatic familiarity. He also knew that of every other man in his gun-crew. From order to "crash” into firing position while moving across country, until the first whamp of the field-howitzer, first crack of 25-pounder, first lash of the Bofors, first lightning stab of the nnti-tanker, each man slammed into action with no wasted move­ ment, awkwardness or confusion. The thrill of watching a battery of 25-pounder field guns moving evenly down a road and suddenly erupting into iposition and action, is unforgettable. The Horse Artillery never made a finer, braver show. Stop-watch Timing The Chief instructor stood beside holds the gun on a firm base.Gunner* Stage Demonstration Gunners of the 23rd (Toronto) and 7tJj (Montreal) Field Batteries under LL A. Melanson, Sth Medium Fied Regt., staged the medium ar­ tillery’s “Crash Action” demonstra­ tion for us. Working from the halt, they were ready to fire in just over five minutes, with a crew who had never previously worked together. A well-drilled crew can do it in 4% minutes. It may be tfiat the influence of the new guns, which depend on speed for success, was a spur to the field-artilleryman to smarten his pace. The great artillery change, of course, is the addition of many batteries of anti-tank and anti-air­ craft guns. If they are not fast they, are useless. Their example may have inspired the field and the field-how­ itzer gunner to excel himself. In any event, they are not only taking every advantage of the hurricane speed of motor-horses in the reckless raee to gunposition, ibut have also developed new, remarkable crew­ speed in getting into action after the sudden, shattering halt.

Which a gun, a tractor and a gun­ crew are! nance repair shop, the great em­ phasis is on speed and mobility. But it was a tremendous smprise to start sorting impressions and find that speed was most strikingly evi­ dent in the most unexpected place —in what we had come to consider an old-style, almost obsolete, arm. Yes, in The Guns, the fighting arm which was blithely being con­ signed to the scrap heap with the still-indispen.-abie footslogger in the frantic days of demoralized thought following Dunkirk, when the public and their military crit c< were all "tank mad.” Gunner Rite* To Occasion Right here, Canada should see reason to appreciate now—and not wait for post-war historians’ belated thanks—her’resolute war leaders to be panicked by the spectacular success of the panzera in May and June, 1940. The staff talks and consultations which gave birth to the British-Can­ adian Army plan were held at the height of the tank-hysteria. But neither Defence Minister J. L. Ral­ ston, nor the generals— IjeuL Gen, A. G, k McNaughton and the then Chief of Staff, Major-Gen, H. D, G. Crerar, now Lieutenant-General and acting Corps Commander—were stamped* d into neglecting the other arms and service*. They h»v« built a Canadian landartn which has a greater proportion of tank to in­ fantry unit* than any other arm in the world. (One and one-third arm­ oured to three infantry divisions.) But every other arm was also given it* sensible, allotted place. Every man in the’highly mechanised Can­ adian Overseas Army ha* first-hand knowledge of the weapon* of a guerrilla-infantryman- He can fight a* well a* specialize. In a country Gunner 1* Blitzkrieg Per«onified It would ‘be unsafe to make the comment around a Canadian Artil- | lory Establishment, but it may be j that the danger of becoming that obsolete warrior, with an outdated • weapon, inspired the guner to lift his pace to the furious gait of the military times. For he has done it. Canadian gun crews arc working much faster in getting into action than was ever expected, or deman­ ded, in the last war. The gunner then considered him­ self the best drilled of all troops, and the othei 'services felt he wore the superior air of a member of an elite corps. Yet his drill precision is now even finer. His driving urge for speed makes him the blitzkrieg —lightning war— personified, and the Armoured Corps will have to take that and like it. They, and the irresistible sense of power and might in their masked tank-attack, will have to be satisfied with being the embodiment of modern Mars him­ self. which should be enough. Canadian Crash Action No matter what inspires his new speed, the great impetus has come from a new method of field practice, inaugurated by the Canadians, and well, if dramatically. dubbed: "Crash Action!" It i* meant to fit the artilleryman for fast, open, blitz warfare. It is done to stop watch, this ex­ ercise which puts the final polish to the artilleryman before joining his battery in the O>rp* oV on opera­ tion*. and which keep* him polished after he is there, a graduated gun­ ner. It i« a furious spasm of convulsive movement by gun, tractor, and gun­ crew, and a slamming, crashing, spectacular performance tor a civil­ ian, and a revelation for a eobble- me with his stop-watch. He gave the I signal. The battery smashed through, a hedge into the field* and raced to­ ward us, each gun a trailing, boun­ cing comet behind its tractor. The practice is earned out with- a quarter-milc dash included in the "Crash Action" time-limit. They hit the position, halted,—and the crew exploded in a flying body from the tractor. At first jump they looked like an insane confusion of hurtling arms, legs and bodies. But the tangle unravelled, fell into place. They unhooked the tractor in what seemed a single motion, set up the gun, laid it—then stood taut and ’ breathless to await the verdict. Two and half minutes! They were crestfallen. The No, 1 cursed. They knew that anything over three minutes expended bet­ ween the alarm, or order to halt and turn, denotes a bad gun-crew. The ideal speed is I ’s to 2 minutes, and that is what they were striving to attain. No hamhanded, slow-wilted, or clumsy man could possibly fit into the modern Canadian gun-crew, not teven into the big crews of the grim field howitzers. They are just as ardent and tireless exponents of speed and precision as the crews of their lighter, more mobile brethren. The formidable field-howitzer* have a crew composed of a Ser­ geant, (the No. 1), with a bombar­ dier and eight men behind him. In coming into action in soft' ground they have to be husky, but they handle their ponderous weapon with astonishing ease. Despite the size and weight of the gun and its plat­ form, their powerful tractor* can turn a whole troop from column of route on a road and roar them into position, where the guncrews wogk with »ueh despatch that they are pumping salvoes within a few min­ utes from the "action right” That ineluded the overland rush, the halt, setting up the gun plat­ form and the huge spade. curved against the recoil, which digs in and speed, of course, while Canadians handled that beautiful piece of mechanism called the Bofors. Their “Crash Action!” speed is almost un­ believable. From the halt in a hedge-bainked lane of a mobile anti­ aircraft column. I saw a battery of Canadian-manned Bofors speakipg within 43 seconds. On Target In Three Second* From a stationary position pro­ tecting an air-field, when the anti­ aircraft crews are always on their gun, I watched Lt. Alan Nobleston, a newspaperman turned gunner, putting a troop of the 53rd Canad­ ian Light A.A. Battery through an actual "Crash Action!" They flashed on their target within three seconds. In the drill for that real action job, the spotter calls, “Plane!” The gun swings, lays, fires—all in that fleet three seconds, on almost every rehearsal. It’s an extremely brief tick of time and the precision-prac­ tice to attain it must be extensive. They'll snort scorn at the metaphor, but their timed, drilled movements are as beautiful to watch as a cad­ ent chorus of Rockettes. The anti-tanka gun "Crash-Ac­ tion” demonstration is a similar illustration of well-drilled "precis­ ion men." Anti-tank gunners can whirl into action in 17 seconds with their gun on wheels, and with a spud dropped to hold the gun solid. Setting up the built-in permanent gun-platform requires longer. But the Canadian anti-tank gunner is ao fast getting hi* vicious missile* away that only an ill-trained crew takes more than 2 minutes from the warning of a target. There is * great rivalry between gunners of the Canadian anti-tank and anti-aircraft batteries. They argue in train*, tube* and btrnses, bicker in camp, canteen and the street. It i* unmistakable evidence of keenneaa; they are amongst the most enthusiastic of all Canadian troop*. Taalr-imwtkag G«»**r» Each claim* to he the beat drilled, to have the most important fightingjob. The anti-aircraft gunners temporarily can win inter-service debate if they are with a battery actually on operations—protecting airdromes or vital communications- but it is doubtful if the Ack-Ack ar­ tilleryman’s job is any more thrill­ ing than the tank-hunting gunner’s. The latter’s first doctrine is that wherever the artilleryman uses his guts and his head he beats the tank. The nightmare the tank was once thought is nowhere so thor­ oughly dispelled as amongst the men who handle the gun with the great­ est velocity of all weapons. The 2- pounder has a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet a second, and its almost dead-level trajectory is nearly as accurate as a sniper’s rifle. Its arm­ our-piercing slug travels with a high- pitched metallic scream, and crashes its target before that chilling wall hits its peak. Canadian anti-tank gunners boast that it is the top of its kind, able to fire 12 rounds per minute which will hold any tank in use. The two-pound projectile can be hurled 12,000 yards if necessary, but the most effective velocity and range is under 800. Canadian gun­ ners prefer sniping at 300 when it is deadly. They train on the theory that only one miss, the sighting shot, is permitted; they must hit on the second—or hear about it. A fast­ travelling wheel swings the muzzle 60 degrees in a flash . By releasing his foot, the gunner can slow the traverse to stalk, follow and con­ centrate on a wallowing, and doom­ ed, panzerkraftwagen. Sergeant 1* Anti-tank Bon The Germans have ‘special speed, co-ordination and intelligence tests for finding good anti-tank gunners. Our system is selection also, the choice of brilliant, keen sergeants for No. 1 anti-tank gunner. He’s the sole and supreme boss of the anti-tank crew. On him rests all responsibility. No officer helps him, inspires him, advises him. In action he runs his own show and must be as high in personal calibre as his gun is in. precision and efficiency. As for the Bofors gunner, the (Canadian artillery officers aind men who arrive without expectation of I anti-aircraft fighting show tremen­ dous elation the moment they start training. We sawn a volunteer crew of Canadian subalterns going through a "Crash Action!” with only six days' experience on the gun. Dirty, sweating, happy, they moved and worked furiously to the com­ mands of a Warrant Officer with a voice with a crackle in it. Then they challenged a picked crew of their instructors—and beat them. They were inordinately pleased. Addition to Canadian fire power of ample supplies of the BoAts has eliminated the system of attaching gunners to British Anti-aircraft Ar­ tillery for training. We are now training our own anti-aircraft bat­ teries, and man many guns on ac­ tive duty. The artillery was one of the last of the Canadian service* forced to rely on the British for equipment and instruction; the last, long step is thus nearly accomplished toward a completely self-sustained Canadian Corps. The gunner is still a proud man, but he is not so proud that he doesn't appreciate despatches from Libya revealing that artillery, given air protection, can still be a supreme weapon. (The gunners knocked out 45 tanks in the first two days of the current Libyan campaign, creat­ ed the first major training point They then smashed into Sidi Rezegh with terrible effect, simplifying the capture and cutting down infantry casualties.) Our Canadian field gun­ ners carry such clippings; it reas­ sure* them that the> are still con­ sidered with the indispensable*, something which both past and pre­ sent Canadian Corp* Commander*— Generals McNaughton and Crerar, both artillerymen—ala^*ys knew and always could have told them. Two Irishmen arranged to fight a duel with pistols. One of them was very stout and when he saw hi* lean adversary facing him he raised an objection, "Bedad!” he said, "I’m twice a* big * target as he is, ao 1 ought to stand twice ** fai away from him a* h« 1* from me.” "Be *i*y now,” replied hi* second. “I’ll soon put that right. Taking a piece of chalf from his pocket, he drew two line* down the stout man’s coat, leaving a space between them. “Now" he said, turn­ ing to the thin man, "fire away, ye spalpeen, and remember that any hit* outside the chalk mark don’t count,” FOR ENERGY FOR HEALTHUSE---WILSON'S DAIRY——PRODUCTS To be alert on the job during these long hard days,men in factories on war work must keep fit.
