HIT BY CAR SATURDAY. — A young boy. while ivzilklng east. on Grafton Street. received a rather bad scare Saturday afternoon. In company with two "buddies," he was unconceriiedly walking along the portion of the street opposite the War Memorial. intended for wheeled traffic. when n car struck

him from behind, piicliiiig liiin headlong to the pavement. The driver of the car was unable to

avoid the accident as he could not stop the car to the slippery street. Lucki 3 however, it. ivas barely moving when it nit the young boy as the briikes hiid been aDDllP-d and the auto was sliding. The youngster picked himself up hurri- ly and brushed the snow off his clothing. He was unharmed. The driver got out iind inquired about the boy's condition. Both the driver and the bov received a bad scare. It is also reported that another boy coasted out on the street and right under a car at Prince of Wales Colic corner the some afternoon. The river. iviih difficulty, brought the car to a stop after it had skid- ded around some. and was greatly surprised to find that the youngster was unhiii‘iiied. He craxtdcd out from under the car and scampcred off with his sleigh behind him.

The greatly expanded enemy coastline on the Atlantic and Mediterranean, the loss‘ the French bases between Malta and Gibraltar and ilic crisis in the eastern Mediterranean have made such demands upon the Royal Navy that. though its original power is not; greatly diminished, it is strained to cover the convoys.

I “Do not ask us this time to siacken the blockade and so dra out the war and swell the sum o human suffering." he urged. The rmly aim of the blockade, he said, is to shorten the war and hasten victory.

"Bombs and blockade support each other. If we are to have our peace aims later, we must have good bomb aims now. Our air force shows to the full the offensive spirit. We are not onbi defending liberty, we are bombing tyranny.

. every day, every night our bombs fall on econpmic targets ilie first importance: oil pla

o.‘ ms

and refineries. arms factories, aluminum works. vital oints in transport systems, even eer cel-

lars in Munich and power plants in Berlin. Our aim is to smash both the power and the will of the enemy to carry on the war."

In calling for "planes and more ialiincs." Mr. Dalton said:-

“Ouv men will fly them. spleii- did young men from this island and Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, Poles and Czechs today there are too many targets, too few good bomb- ers. As soon as we have enough bombers we sliiill bomb their war iiiiicliiiie to pieces. _

_,/i great. quantity of Canada's finiincinl resources is used in pur- ehasing foreign exchange to pay for imports from the United States --il‘lllls, vegetables. motor cars and other commodities. This reduces the foreign exchange available for llUYlllLf urgent war requirements.

It lips been argued during the resent session that much of these mpoi-ts is made up of luxuries which Canadians could sacrifice as n war measure, or which could be replaced by Canadian or Em- pire substitutes.

his ship battered and helpless, he was about to abandon her. But. it inok the British vessel more than nine hours to cover the short span of water in the teeth of the storm.

When she arrived after night- fall Tuesday, there was no trace of either men or ship-just. flotsam. The freighbers men searched the area for hours, and early on Wed- nesday morning flares from the fileboat were spotted.

Crewmen of the ships went down into the bobbing lifeboat and help- ed the survivors aboard. The bod- les or the two who perished were taken on the freighter, too. and brought; here. The sea was still so rough. thou h. that the lifeboat had to be a andoned.

None of the survivors was in bad shape, but, five were suffering from exposure. They were taken to hos- piiiil on arrival here. and doctors said their condition was good.

The lifeboat was commanded by second engineer Herbert Thibo- deaii, of Chatham, N. 8., senior officer among the men who were saved. no said that after the ship was abandoned, the at cruised about the Lisieux, in the hope some oi the others would jump from the sinking craft.

And here et me sav this: here ls an expres- sion which has gained common cur- rency since the war began which I intensely dislike. It is the hrase, “wishful thinking." I do no know its qriizin, n01‘ does it matter niuch what was its source, It. is_not even a clever expression; it is ony smart, one of those s.ick phrases quoted till it becomes wearisome by a cer- tain class of writers and speakers. and at last ridden to death. Arid my dislike to it arises from this. that it is a slur on one of thl? greatest and grandest emotions whicliagucid giodthas bestowed into the human ear .

Motive Power of Life

Where should we be if we were bereft of hope? Hoe is one of the motive powers of ii e. It 1S more-it is one of the very necessi- ties of life. Occasions am constant- ly occurring when, without the right to hope, and the ability to hope. lfa would be unliveable. And so God has placed this sensation of hope within us that, when the need 811588 its iziow and uiictloii may carry us over the hard blows of lifes inur- . And Jesus Christ; has incor- rated hope in His blassed Cos e1. has set it forth as one of he Christian attainments. I-ie has de- scribed it as one of the hlﬂllesl Christian Privileges.

Many o the Scripture passages that are most helpful and most dear to us are those which make refer- ence to nope. We are told that "we are saved bv hoilﬂ." We am lil that “hope is the anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast. n We are told to "abound in hope.

Greek success Against Italy British chance

NEW MARKET. EnfL. Dec. i. (CP)—— Greek success against Italy opens for Britiiin "a vista of oppor- tunity which. if we can turn it 00 full account, may be of decisive in- fluence on the whole future course of the struggle,” L. S. _Am retary of State for India. today.

He suggested that Italys attack on Greece might have been a “double- cross" on Germany, Italy's Axis partner. and added:-

"If we can enable Greece to hold her own until we have disposed of the Italians in Egypt. we shall have secured for our armies a foothold from which we might threaten the flank of any German attack cn Turkey."

Mr. Amery asked "why did Mus- solini gttaok Greece and what made him choose the moment for an ad- venture which obviouslv was as ill- pi-eparcd as it was criminal?

"Can it be that things are not so harmonious in the gangster garden as we halve been told?

"Is it. possible that the lesser gangster is impatient at the wav he has been kept waiting for his share of loot; at the expense of France and thought he might; double-cross

is low and pocket at least one valuable without any obligation for help tendered and, at the same time, secure a bigger voice in” the general carving up of the Balkans?"

Declaring that. the d was one of "son-ow, suffering an reproach- es" because of the loss of half of Transylvania, he vaguely referred to some new axis plan.

"I went to Rome and Berlin for the Transyivanians" Antonescu said. “I pointed out all their sufferings and ours at this time. I found un- derst-anding. . "Romania is no longer alone. I am a soldier and a politicikn. But the diiy will come when you will know ivhiit I did at Rome and Ber- lin. We must work and make sacri- fices to regain our rights.”
