1\'Iaclean’s seems unusually perturbed over age “ceilings" in its current issue. For instance: "In this age, when workers yearn for a 40-hour week; when, even under ivartime restrictions, the average family possesses conveniences undreamt-il of a generation ago (and fewer children); when medical science has gone farther than ever be- fore, more people are dying in middle age from overstrain than at any time in our history. The fact that the war is compelling a simpler form of living may result in more mothers and fathers r-titliving the so-callcd allotted span." Thatzso? Where? When? How ?-—Not to suggest the ef- fects of nerves, worry, war deaths and—taxcs!

According to the Rome Special Correspondent of the New York Times: “The Church regards Nazism as its real enemy" "Atheist Bolshevism is less pre-occtipying for the reason that. although it has forcibly eliminated God, man cannot live without believing in a superior being . On the other hand, Nazism has replaccrl God with a pag- an theory which, though it docs not vct meet his spiritual nccds. yet gives him something to look up to. \Vlien the time of reconstruction comes it will he more difficult for the Church to eradicat: the false non-pagan theory of the Nazis from the consciousness of the masses than to instil in the soul of the Atheist the hclicf in God. for this bo- lief will ansivcr a natural craving of man's soul.

A Halifax Complaint

(Halifax Ohmnlcle)

mcredlble as lt may seem to the gccd people of Toronto, Montreal and other lnletncl towns and cities. Halifax didn't. ask Herr Hitler to start this war. It didn't. ask to be made one of the mast lmPt-‘ITIBBY- ports ln the world, important tn th¢ entire conduct of the war of the United Na/tlons, vital to the de- fence of Canada and w;th the de- fence of Canada, the defence of Yonge street, st.

Lament For Mandalay

(By F. Tennyson Jesse ln The Manchester Guardlan)

We must lament the passing of all things beautiful of Bath and of Mandalay. and we must also lament of the ruined beauty of Lubeck, thoiizh knowing that its doom had to be. But: Bath was no danger to the enemy. It was a clty of one time and one spirit. thanks to the two John Woods: the English clty that was most truly unlfled. What can we say of ft except that its beauty was such that it impose/l its own time upon its modern inhabitants and that: in its streets ones feet al- ways strayed back and forth be- ween Beau Nash and Jane Austen?

Mandalay was the reverse of Bath. It was more than any other, the clty with two faces. Indeed. lt may be said that there were two Mandalavs ~the straggling, ugly town and tine Gem City within a double girdle of ""'I-li 1 walls and wlde moat. It was fr. the Gerri Clty that before ile annexatlon the KlnLhl-SQUEEHJ the Princes and Princesses. the great statesmen, the Maids of Honounand the Sons of Tea all llved. Since then the maln buildings, with their curi- ing) roofs. heavllv carved eaves anti ga les, and their great pillars, cacti made of a single trunk of a teak tree lacquered with red patterned wlﬁn gold leaf have been kept, thanks to the efforts of that great Viceroy Lord Curzon, ln a state of perfect preservation, urillved 1n, as a. mim- ory of the past. If the Gem C'-'_v has been destroyed, we must lament the beauty of Mandalay.

Always there has been the other city, even ln the days when the Klrnz of Ava was the King of the World, the centre of the Universe. the Scource of Greatness and Dig- ntty Celestial: and slnce then, through the period during whtcn we bullt up Mandalay as iii great commercial clty, and outer sown, shoddy to look at and to ilve 1n, mostly built 0t wood and ttn, beau- tlfled only by the flowerln trees and the heavy, dark, lnt of the mangoes. s city held thousands of people and lt stretch-

Since there was not, lt be- came necessary get out of Burma before the coming o1 the monsoon rain-l. But, 1t. was not a 118M611. bat/feted and bedruggled force which had to seek the beat. way out. On the contra-y, sayl General Wavell, the men came away in good shape after hs-Ilng made a good fight. He used the word "fantastic" to describe "the Bfecrtureaque story" told by a mem- of the House of Ocmmom 0f troops wading through nuke-tn- frsted vnters and living on unrl limes.

FIREMEN WANT. BRENS

LONDON — (GP) — Major Sir Jocelyn Lucas, M. P., and a. part.- tlme fireman, has asked the War Office to consider the arming of certain National Fire Service vehicles with Bren guns to meet low-level machine-gunning arid bombing of Civil Defence Workers.

-'— l ed to the Irrawaddy, where the fish- ermen lived and the poorer folk. It embraced the great. bazaar, mon- asteries, nunneries, Burmese, Bipl- lsh, and Indian resldenlsuAlwaysnis to those who ln olden days wi-ie not allowed to live 1n the Gem City the dwellers in the Town-Without.- the-WalLs could 100k at. the grave beauty of the Shim hllls or across the Irrawaddy to the misty rlppn. made by the Sagatng hills.

Does the great Buddha of the Aracan still smile 1n serenity a- midst undamaged pagodas? Do the Buddhas of Mandalay Hill remain quiescent while the feet of the bar- barians trample the holy places? And have the lovely palaces of me Gem City gone up in flames? Per- haps. If so, we must lament Manda- lay the beautiful.

The straggling great clty without. the walls has gone, and for what we must; grieve 1n terms of human life. What of the babies-and the Bur- mese bables are the gayest 1n the world-that one used to see turnb- llng happily naked ln the dust 1n the streets of the-bazaar, dabblng at each other with their {at little hands like puppies at play, m that the shopkeepers turned their heads to smile at them? What. of the Brit- ish, who have on the whole de- served well at. the hands of the Bur- mese nation ln spite of delays and often of lack of comprehension.

And 1n the outer city of Manda- lay. and perhaps fighting to the last within the walls of the Gem City, both British and Burmese are lying dead.
