(On Active Service) "The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink." lingual, Aucisr 1s, to4]—— The Man With The Bayonet ‘This fine tribute by lV. L. Clark in the _\'Vmdsor Star is worth quoting: “We want to say another word for the in- fantrymau who gets right up there facing the enemy. lie is so far forward in the fighting, he often escapes attention. He is the chap who goes out on patrol, seeking out the patrols of the Boclic, and when he finds them, he gives battle. Often the struggle is a grim and silent one, with denth coming suddenly and unex- pectedly. .-\t other times there is a brief skirm- ish for adrzultzlgc, and then death to the foe—if lllfi 1'06 docs not deal out death first. "It is hard to imagine just how that little squad or platoon of men feels as it inches for- ward here, dashes ahead a fe\v yards there. The men have to coltceiltrate on their work, or they will fall in their tracks. Even with the keenest concentration, they lose out sometimes. “Those are the inen'who are winning the land battles. .-\rtiller_v and aerial preparation helps them go forward, but when they come to grips with the enemy, they are on their own and so alone." Housing Legislation Hln- vl. L. Ilsley prophesies that expendi- tures under the National Housing Act, which has l n passed by the House of Commons, may ch nearly a billion dollars. The immediate objective is to distribute about $275,000,000 in loans for home building and improvement and shim clearance. Mr. Ils- ley explains that this figure is set only for the next two or three years, during which time the merits of the legislation can be judged. If it works out according to expectations, it will be for future Parliaments to continue and extend I. It is sod that the principle ct put the Government in the housing business. There is flat rejection of the Socialist idea that the State should enter this field dlmctly. Rather, the Government pro- possc to lend public money, supplemented with private funds from the recognized lending in- stitutions, to accomplish general community bet- tonnont tilecughout the Dominion.

Brief- ly stated, they consist in the division of the year irlto_four equal quarters of 9t days, each be- ginning on Sunday and ending on Saturday; every month has twenty-six week days, plus four or five Sunkys. The first rnonth of each quarter has 3r days, all the other months 3o days. By the sdopiou of the World Calendar, it is claimed that money, time and effort would be saved in industry; that it would provide “specific benefits for the working man," that it would be welcomed by Government depart- ments, and that it holds definite advantages for the legal profession and for financial institu- tions. Fcr retail traders, for agriculture, for scientists and those engaged in the educational profession the resulting benefits would, it is m be substantial. ' “Tint Britain's Leaders An analysis of the antecedents of leading personalities in the British Government throws an interesting light on the whole structure of British democracy, showing that Britain's lead- ers are representative in the fullest sense. The heterogeneous character of British leaders is itself the best proof that only one qualification is necessary for entering the British Govern- ment -— the capacity for leadership. For ex- ample: In the \Var Cabinet from aristocratic tra- dition are: (f) Churchill: Grandson of the Duke of Marlborough, son of the brilliant Tory rebel, Lord Randolph (flutrchill. Educated at Harrow and Satirlhurst, passing by way of active mili- tarv service. war journalism to politics. '(z) lit/mt (liort-igll Secretary): Son of a landed llnrnnnt and fzunntts Whig family.

Educated at Haileybury and Oxford. Had a legal career. (2) Anderson (Chancellor chcquer): Of Scots parentage. Edinburgh and Leipzig, gaining in nlathematics and philosophy. Service. From men of the people are: (2) Bevin (Minister of Labour): Started work on a farm at the age of eleven for six- pence weekly. From there he drifted through a variety of jobs; became a. clerk in the office of the Dockers’ Union. From then on his ef- forts were devoted to trade union organization. (2) Morrison (Minister of Home Secur- ity): Was, born in London's East End, son of a policeman. Left school at fourteen, became an errand boy, studying in his spare time. At the age of twenty-seven he became secretary of the London Labour Party and worked his way into national politics through local govern- ment. ' (3) Woollen (Minister of Reconstruction): Has hewn out a fine scholastic and business career from nothing. Educated at the Man- chester grammar school and university. He started to earn s. living as a school master but abandoned his career to make an intensive study of social conditions. After the last war he took up business with particular reference to social organization with brilliant success. Abandoned his business interests when called to serve in of the Ex- Educatcd at brilliant firsts Career in Civil the Government. “d. EDITORIAL NOTtS .- Old Home Week is nearing its close-and now for the much needed rain. C l I U Few places of the size of Charlottetown could or would provide such an entertainment for its citizens at home and abroad as does the Exhibition Association here in Old Home Week.

Prof. D. B. Iohnstonc-Wallace of Cornell University, who has returned to the United States after I8 months of service with the British Ministry of Agriculture, states that Grcat Britain “is producing about 75 per cent of her own food requirements." This statement is in itself a tribute to the remarkable way ill which the British have been able to maintain and increase their agricultural production, de- spite the urgcnt calls upon manpower for anns manufacture and service with the armed forces. in“ s is is e The story may or may not be true but it inappropriate to the occasion. Twotvisitors, accompanied by their wives, attended the Ex- hibition, but were sorely handicapped by their better halves, who stuck to them like glue. One of the women at length expressed a desire to recall the days of her youth by a jaunt on company her. The husbands assented. but one of them gave the attendant a $2 bill and sug- gested he should prolong the whirl. “All right bcss", exclaimed the attendant, going till you return." a a a s For a’ that, and a’ that, It'a comin’ yet, for a’ that That man to man, the world o'er, Shall brothers be for a’ that. In an English north-west coast resort, Am- crican soldiers are voluntarily contributing to- wards the cost of entertaining parties of evacu- ees from robombed London, acting as fairy godfathers. Local amusement caterers are granting them special facilities, and both children and parents are overwhelmed by the gracious consideration shown them in their troubles.

A good SS soldier does not belong to any religion. It is a sign of weakness and sup- erstition." self to be falcon prisoner. "It was an accident," he replied. "Your soldiers got me £00 fsst- I could not resell my gnnados. Otherwise I would have died in my trench and I would have been happier than I am now. It is something fine to die for the Fatherland. It was time for me to die. I have had a full life." The 18-year-old shuffled off.

In the of his private life, he has left an enduring mark in the South Pacific. During war Lord Gowrie had a specially intimate appeal to the Australian soldier, for he is a soldier, too.
