“No Price Is‘ Too Great” Says Flier Ere Death

"The sacrifice may be nest, but it is dwarfed by the magnificentend to vmich we are pointing. No prise is L00 great."

S0 wrote Flight-Sergeant Regi- nald F. Robb to his father. Ju s W. 'l‘. Robb o! Orangeville, short bcforc he gave his own life in the cause of world freedom. The Royal Canadian Air Force last week listed Flight-Sergeant Robb as “Killed in action, F». 36."

liis final letters. father under the shadow 0f immi- nent death, were eloquent, manly and full of Only 51X weeks before he was shot down he wrote: "My luck is still holding out and I think that I am almost a ‘sure thing’ to come out of this war alive."

Robb was only 25 and, like the thousands of other Canadians over- Scu-M his most frequent thoughts were of his homeland.

Love of Homeland increases.

“Absence makcs the heart grow fender," he wrote, "Indeed, I never before realized the full significance of mat thought and my love for all those things that are behind has inn-tensed not tenfold, but by a mil- lion times, since I so quickly wan- dered out of that scene . . . It is the knowledge that there are people at home who are depending on you that drives one not only to do his best but just a little more, and it is this spirit that is going to bring a Iriuuutliant conclusion to this slrllggie in which we are presently engaged. For if we fall, then all is lest, not for ourselves. but for the vast civilized world made up 0i good people like ourselves.

“I find a great relief in putting my most innermost thoughts in collcrcle form. For when I allow nlysclf to act thus it has the sanle effect us climbing up through the siol-mv night sky, and when you have. finally fought your way through the raving elements you find l/Qlllfivlf in a. star-clad dome, which echoes and re-echoes peace and tranquillity."

Jignin he wrote:

“Our work here is pretty danger- our. but its exciting, and no matter wlmt price I may pay, I’m still glad that I joined this branch of the service. We all live in the present- forget the past and never dare think of the future-for if we did we would die a thousand deaths. The only rather disheartening thing is to wake up in the morning and 11nd that one of your pals’ beds lnisift been slept in—for then you

know that he didn't come back from his trip." Shortly before Christmas he

wrote: "Christmas soon will be up- on us. ‘Pence on Earth, Goodwill Toward mcif-ullat. a mockery, with the world locked in a death stmugle for existence . . . .1 fear xve shall never live to see that glor- inus millennium when we will live at peace with our neighbors."

The spirit of the R.C.A.F.. bom- ber crews is well illustrated by an- other note which said: "I have a g-cod cr:w now and as we are weav- ing around a target we sing and pull wisccruck; and you would think we wore nt a picnic, The 011191‘ pill we were having a little trouble and everything was pretty quiet wlwn lhc front gunner yelled

But whatever this early tint, the whole trees grows greener and greener as days pass, until in summer all is a mass of verdant foliage. However beautiful our trees maybe in the full flush of slimmer vigor. this beauty is increased many-dole‘ when iihe chilly days of autumn touch and tint the leaves. The summer green, in all its various diadcs, now gives way to yellow. orange, purple, red. crimson and golden-blown. Gradually this fiery fades and as the year rounds out 11x four full seasnrls we see a in bare limbs and naked twigs showing out the stark contour of the tree.

This is true of most of our forest trees. But there are bthers. many of them smaller trees, and even mere shrubs. which outdo our larger tiees in beauty.

wsluzllutu iiulil pullc 9, shown to be so closely linked with household hygiene losses in f storage and municipal sanitation, that considerable thought has been given to rodent control practises. By exercising reasonable fore- thought very effective control can be developed by proper adjustments in construction of buildings. These often c2111 be made with little or no additional cost.

Three important modes of attack are helpful in rat control activities. <11 Rat proofing the structures. (2) Eliminating their hiding places. (3) Keeping feed in covered containers. Community campaigns against rats are more effective than when action on individual premises is carried out. The migratory habits of rats make it possible for a continuous supply of these pests to kee com- ing into premises where cean-up efforts are regularly conducted, The problem of mt control has become of suu- economic and hygienic mean.» that widespread campaigns are being organized covering entire cities, Fur farmers, who are often victims to a great extent, seem to put up with rat depradatlons with- out nmking an adequate defense. This is wrong and every fur farm- or should decide to take measures to eliminate the rat and mice nuis- £11106 as it. is a potential source of great danger.

The mating season is rapidly divining to u close and when this month is complete it will be at an ei1zl~or almost at an end. Reports reaching us lend to the belief that matings are much latrr this semen than usual on many fur farms. Just \'.|'il' the cause Ls we 01111.net say. Maybe the rancher is not feeding ag heavy as other years, cr perhaps the milder winter had something to do with it. Lots of ranchers tell 11s that they" like In have their llt~ ters come late. that they find it easier to raise them and that the pelts of late pups bring just as good, if not better, returns than the earlier born ones. in our own case -we have always had better success with our earlier litters. Why this is so we cannot say. unless the foxes take more exercise in the colder weather. It seems to the writer that we should take precautions with inter litters, to have the fe- mlfle let's brflrrels l-"pt in a laxative condition mrfl-lnq ~,~| veins easier. Researchers in il-c United States have shown two factors that have

causcd losses of pups, (l) feeding too much ground green bone, (2) s no daxativs diet causing the fol

00d macs to get tied up, thus making

wlielping difficult.

In the illustrations o! prize win- ners at the Wisconsin and Nebras- ks pelt shows we note that the sp- pearanee 0i the pelts is quite dif- ferent in regard to shaping from ours. “were they seem to concen- trate on having the pelt as wide as possible-some of them are real monstrosities. It is said that they often use s board one inch thick and very much wider than ours, with a. very short neck. Whether this fools the buyer into paying a bigger price we cannot say, but cer- tainly the pelts would have to be re-sliaped before they could be made into neck-pieces.

Olmar Brager-I-arsen, who intro- duced the Norwegian platlna foxes into the United States, has, we un- derstand, applied "for " and has become associated with Howard Erickson Underwood, oper- sting fox ranches at Alanson and Harbor Springs, Michigan.

We regret to learn of the death of Captain Joel Shepherd Allen, which occurred in Summerslde last Tuesday morning. Captain Allen liad reached a ripe old age and had the great satisfaction of seeing his sens. daughters and grandchil- dren grow up to become useful and respected members of the com- munity they live in. For many years Captain Allen sailed the seven sraa. being one of the best of the deep sea captains. In 1009 he became associated with the late Dr. Alex McNeil] and A, C. Saunders, now Mr. Justice Saunders, in a ranch situated near St. Eleanors. This ranch was visited by Princess Pa- tricia and her father, ilze late Duke of Connaught, in i910, and was af- ter "ards known as the St. Patrick ranch. The company was a very successful one and produced many of the outstanding foxes of the boom years, and furnished the breeding nucleus for many success- ful ranches throughout the province and elsewhere. Had the late Gap- tain Allen lived until August he would have shared with his devoted partner their 65th wedding anniver- sary. To the family we extend our deep sympathy.

The whole province was shocked yesterday morning when news was received of the death of G. Shelton
