WEDNESDAY, JANUAlli-DTTIBLB The Tin Hats

It in announmd that the “Tin Hats", Can- adian front-line army show, will tour Canada ii the near future. Canadians at home have heard little of this group of soldiers who have become as famous overseas in this war as the notable "Dumbells" were in 1914-18.

The "Tin Hats" are composed of men who

'heve served in combat and other units over-

sees. While the spectacular army, navy and eir force shows which have been seen in Can- ada were_ designed for civilian and training camp consumption and had to be broken up hto small groups when they were sent overseas to entertain the fighting troops, the “Tin Hats" were organized in the midst of the British blitz, and have rarely played without an accompani- ment of shell-fire.

Equipped with their own transport and arms, the players and musicians and scene- shifters have more than once turned front their theatrical chores to man machine-guns and take up rifles. They have given hundreds of per- formances to Canadian and British infantry units in the firing lilies iii Italy, playing in ruiiieil churches and buildings well ahead of the artillery lines.

Indeed, while Irving Berlin's colossal U. S. Army extravaganza, “This Is The Army”, was stalled in Italy with no suitable theatre outside Rome and Naples available for its appearance, commanders oi eiitertainmcnt-starved American fighting units “kidnapped" the Canadian show, which gave more than 40 performances in the bettle areas and received personal commenda- tions ironi General Mark Clark himself.

'l‘he “Tin Hats" temporarily wound up their Odyssey when the ship on which they were bound for the battlefront in Normandy was torpedoed in the English Channel less than a month after “D-Day" and several members of the troop were lost. blost of them men with five years‘ overseas service, they have returned to Canada for leave and reorganization and Will make their tour of the Dominion before leaving again for overseas service next spring.

Books For The Forces

It is encouraging to note the progress al- eeady made in lhe I. O. D. E. book subscription campaign for the armed services. The I. O. D. E. is the official distributor oi such supplies, and to date has provided more than a million volumes for Canadian men and women iri camp and hospital, aboard ship, or wherever they may be. The value of this service hardly needs ein- phasizing. For those who are engaged in dis- tant places, often lonely, anxious at times, seek- ing escape from their thoughts, an interesting book from home is a boon. Thanks to the en- ergetic work of the I. O. D. E., libraries make the rounds of hospital wards, help to break the monotony of life in isolated spots, relieve the tension in e multitude of places, and bring the cheering thought that back home are people who care.

It is worth noting that all labor on the part of the I.O.D.E. is voluntary. In addition, the books are purchased at a heavy discount. which ensures greater value for each dollar spent than an individual could obtain. The cause is cer- teinly one which deserves the support of all who care about the boys and girls on active service.

The Common Cold

Or. Harold S. Diehl, dean of medical sciences and professor of preventive medicine and pub- lic health at the University of Minnesota, who made a long study of the common cold, says that l complete, adequate and balanced diet is nec- essary to keep healthy. But beyond thii. 110 special diet has value for cithcr prcvciitioir or cure of colds. ‘The same is true of vitamins, widely exploited as a cold preventive.

The experiments Dr. Diehl carried out at the tiniversity cracked iridc opcn a lot of home remedies for colds. Nasal preparations were found to have little value , some do actual harm. hlouth washes, gargles and antiseptics were found to be useless, as were cethartics. The drinking of great quantities of liquids, purpose- ly to get rid of the toxic effects of a cold, was found to be ineffectual. Whisky, brandy and hot toddies, with which some people dearly love to treat colds, were rated as dubious rein- edies. ,

Dr. Diehl agrees that sulfa drugs and peiii- cillin are valuable in treating strep infections and respiratory infections or complications growing out of a cold, but that neither one has been lhown to have any value in the treatment of the common cold itself. '

The university researches showed that gen- oral hygienic nleasurcs help to gct rid 0f Colds- Good advice is: Go to bcd and stay there until you recover. You protect others from expos- qrg you increase your own resistance and you

ltetp warm;___________ Second Thoughts

The second thoughts which have come to Americans after their first outburst of anger gainst events in Europe are well illustrated by an editorial in The New Republic.

"lt is well," says this left-wing ivcekly, “that we should remember the limitations of on" power when we dispute the proposed terri- torial settlements iii Europe with the British o"! 4v- Russians. Americans, who lived so

I

long isolated among the splendid resource of their empty continent, have something of a spoiled-child complex in regard to having their ow_n way. In fact, however, we cannot by force oompel the British or the Russians to take our advice. Nations have only two courses of con- duct open to them: they must either accept one another or go to war. If we went to war with Russia we should have to fight on her soil, and should almost certainly be defeated. As for war between the United States and Great Brit- ain, it is doubtful whether any casus belli would persuade the people of either country to fight. Certainly they would not do so over the boundaries of Poland or Germany."

The United States, this paper says, should work for moral principles in the peace settle- ment, but “we must beer in mind that Utopia is not reached in a day, that the successful con- clusion of the war against Germany and japan is at present more important than anything else, and that some degree of temporary injustice just now is better than a universal and perman- ent degree of injustice through a fascist vic- tory."

-EDITORIAL NOTES-

Tlie Prime Minister has decided not to take part in the North Grey election by addressing the electorate there, being satisfied his prelim- inary speech explanatory of his action, will do the trick.

“Maj. G. Bigaouette, commanding the Pro- vost Corps in M.D. 5, has resigned, because he refused to enforce conscription or to arrest

descrters now that conscription is in force. As 5w

a matter of fact, (says the Lctter-Rcviciu), the arrest of deserters in M.D. 5 in particular, in M.D. 4 to almost the same extent, and througli- out the country in general, is little more than a theory. In M.D. 4 and M.D. 5, there is but little attempt made to find and arrest even the melt who r_efuse to obey their draft call. As a nutter of fact, National Selective Service has openly stated that a. survey of the employers showed 7500 workers employed who were illegal- ly employed as not having obeyed their draft call, or obtained a proper deferment. This situa- tion is a public scandal. For some reason, the advocates of conscription talk as though all that was necessary was a. conscription law. What is necessary is the enforcement of the laws which we now have, and there is but the least trace of this, in connection with military service." w w v n-

A pony supplement to Parents’ Magazine, produced especially for fathers iii unforni, is the latest of the list of publications being sent to servicemen overseas. On its cover is a “pin- up mother and beby.” G. I. fathers, many of whom have never seen their infants, will learn from this supplement what children are like, what they need from their parents, what fun children are, how best to write them letters, and how to participate in the life of the family even while absent. In explaining the supple- ment, Mrs. Clara Savage Littledale, editor of Parcnls’ Magazine, writes,—"Fatliers need that special feeling of belonging, of being needed, of being loved which they get from wives and children and home. Furthermore, children need two parents. Mother can't do the job all alone. Children need a father who is interested in them, intelligent about thein, and who loves them from the time they are bum-not just when they get big enough to throw a baseball or talk. Mother will be helped immeasurably if she knows that father, evcn though he is away, is with her in this big task of bringing up the family~that he wants to keep in as close touch as possible. She wants to feel that when it comes to big things, father is, in spirit, right there beside her, helping." Among the feat- ures in the supplement are, Your Wife's a Good Sport, G.I. Babies Rate Best, How a Baby Learns, Tell the Kids to Stay in School, Tips on Writing Children, Strategic Problems on the Home Front, Don't Raise Your Child to he a Dictator, 'l‘each Them Not to Hate, and G.

r, in not often I buy and read the Patriot but upon each oc- casion I do so I find a lame num- ber of notes upon every conceiv- able subject written by the Pat- riot Panlandrum. He has a fav- orite expreulon (“Yapper") which he applies with a large brush and flowing stroke to all who may differ with hlm upon any of his pet schemes. from the Brighton Bridge and the Car Ferry to the renomlnatlon of his close person- al friend Hon.
