A War-Time Calendar

The calendar issued by the British Informa- tion Services, New York, consists of illustra- tions month by tuonth of momcnttms evcuts dur- ing the five years of \\’Zil‘. Not less impressive

l than the historic photographs are the quotations

appropriate to mch event. On the Cova- of the brochure is the following from Shake- opeare’; King john:

"What hath this day deserved? What hath it done, That it in golden letters should be set Among tho high tides in the calendar?"

Commflyorative of Dccemhcr 13th, I939, is a picture 0f thc sinking 0f the (Irdf Spec, with which is uscd a quotation from liiplings "filho Destroyers":

"Hit, and hard hiti The blow went home, The muffled knocking stroke-

The steam that overruns the foam-

Tho full that thins the smoke-

The smolso that cloaks the deep aboil— The deep that chokes her throes

r111 ltroahed with ash and sieeked with oil, Tho lukewarm Whirlpools close."

For Jill is shown "The R. A. F. Over Germany," even though the lines quoted Ire from Virgil’: "The Aeneid," written before X9 B.C., they could scarcely be more apt in describing the air offensive. They are:

"A roar of um: tilled all the German skies And the Alps trembled at the prodigy."

Operttiom behind the Japanese Wingatds Chindits are the illustrations for February and March. Shakespeare would seem 0o have in mind such operations as those carried out by the Commandos when he wrote:

lines by

“Stiffm the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage; Then lend the eye o. terrible aspect;

Now lot the ‘tooth and stretch tho nostrile wide; Hold hud the breath, and bend uo every spirit To his full height."

April month's illustrntioii is that 0f the Home Front, showing British women eitgaged h the manufacture of mighty shells. The pic- ture carrier the following quotation from Frois- art's Gironiclea written in the 14th century:

"The English will SIIIICI‘ for a time, but in the end they take such bloody payment as may well servo for an example, nor can they be played with. Especially there is tinder the sun no such dangerous people—1he craftsmen more par- ticularly-as in England." . Accompanying a picture 0f the evacuation of the British forces from Dunkirk .\L=.y, 1940,

the follow-lug quotation from Calendar of , onetion State Papers by the Venetian Ambas- oodor in France t0 the Doge and Senate (1588):

“Tho bottle will be bloody, for the English will hover yield; and though driven back and Cumin into confusion, they will return to fight, on long as they have a breath of life."

I 1

June month is iihistrnted with a picture of the landing on the cons‘. 0f Normandy and Shakespeare is again called upon to supply the appropriate title: “Now, lords, for France; the enterprise wrhereof Shall be to you, as us, like glorious.

For he today that sltcds his blood with me Stroll be my brother."

. I . "There's something in the wind," is the Quotation trsed with the pirtnrc on the August sheet of the cnlcnrlwr showing thc iticmbers of the Quebec confcrcurc, with one chair vacant, neared 0n the roof of the (jhrnontt Frontenac. For El Alana-in. llririlwr. 1042, is quoted Nvcllingtrnfs rvmnrk n: \‘.':1!\~~'uo: “Hard 3101111111113, Q.ll..'..'1‘.'.".l§ lcfs s00 who will pound lunar-st."

The North Grey by-election was brought on when, following a demand by Gen. AicNaugh-

ton that Mr. King and the Government keep ed

their word and draft desperately needed rein- forcements, Mr. King intrigued with Gen. Mc-

V Naughton behind Co]. Ralston's back and fol-

lowed up by firing Ralston from his Cabinet. Is there not good reason why the people should distrust a man who entered the Cabinet

‘ to stop conscription and then, overnight, when

his position became impossible, remained to apply it? If this country at this critical time wants e Defense Minister to enforce conscrip- tion surely it should have c man who believes In conscription, not one who declares openly that he doesn't.

If the electors of Grey North take this view, who is to blame them? And why should Mr King, of all persons, lecture them and the Op- position on their patriotic duty?
