In startling contrast with the pitiful record of our .\rn1_v Historical Section. the IIistorical Scctimt of the RCxkF. has already produced its first vuittttle for the present \var, carrying the story‘ of the R.C..~\.F. overseas to Attgtist, 111.13. The \ir Force, has thus accomplished in 12 tuontlts what it ltas taken the .'\r1t1_v 26 years s1: far, and possibly many more years yet. If the .~\1-111_v Historical Section is to be entrusted with producing the story of the military side of the presettt war, after the last war has been disposed of, then at the present stiaii-like pro- gress the lads who are now fighting may ex- pect the account of their feats to appear not earlier than s. century or two hence.

Three Mountain Peaks

Three mountain peaks in the Peace River Block are to be given the names. "Churchill", "Roosevelt" and “Stalin." So, British Coluttt- bia. will tnztrk the achievements of the three most notable men of our day.

The peaks are all tall peaks, marking the stature of the statesmen whose names they bear. They are all about the same height, too—— 9500 feet. So, there can be no lteart-bttrnittgs because one of the statesmen is put in a posi- tion to have his peak look down on the others.

There have been men whose names stand out like mountain peaks in the history of the world. It may be that Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin will prove to be such men. But whether they do or not, at least we shall have mountain peaks in Canada honored by their names.

Those "Decent Germans" 4'47

A London correspondent of the New York Tints: traces the changing British public opin- ion in the matter of the Germans. The British, he said, accepted the 1940-41 blitz and its des- truction of civilians as sontetitittg to be ex- pected of tuodern war. 'l‘he bombing of Cov- entry and other Cathedral cities did something to alter this attitude, but even confirmed and detailed stories rtf (icrmzttt atrocities in occu- pied cottutrics left 111.111)‘ tlutttsnnds of British men tutd wontcu who sztitl "there tuttst be some good ticrntztns."

For some time chemists have been working on fire retardpnts for such inflammable materials ns clothing, lumber. etc. Now they propose that walls, ceilings, doors rind window frames be coated with fire extinguishing ntaterials. says Thc Des Moines Register. Possibly encouraged by the re- sults obtainccl in wartime fire fl htlng with dry ice, a new paint mxture includes calcium carbon- ate and a resin made by treat- ing paraffin wax with chlorine. When exposed to high tempera- tures, this coating breaks down chemically, giving off carbon dioxide gas which, being heavier than air and incapable of sup- porting combustion, tends to smother the fire automatically’. If desks. pianos and other furniture are coated with tltls new compound. it may save wives a lot of agony by siientt extinguishing the of- fending fag.

Plans for the early release from civilian war work of women dc- slring to train for tcaclting were announced by Mr. R. A. Butler. Minister of Education, Women would now be eligible, without re- striction of age, to enter on a training course for the teaching profession lf they were not im- mcdlntcly required for employment. essential to the war effort. Though release could not be guaranteed to any particular applicant, because essential work had to go on, any woman in civilian national service could now apply for admission, either to 1t one-year course of train- ing under the emergency scheme. or to a ttvo-yenr course nt an ord- inary training college, or to star‘. on a university course, if that was appropriate. Staffs were being selected for the colleges to be es- tablished under the emergency training scheme and would. so far ns possible, be given on the lincs of the emergency scheme for ll small number of men and women released from the services because of disabilities, and further courses of the same type would be started for all suitable candidates coming forward-From United Kingdom Information Office.
