We embark on a line of action and nothing appears to impede our progress, until one would imagine, the way we act, that such would be our program for ever. Everything scems to be so static about us. In other lands are volcanic eruptions, earth- quakes, wars .and rumors of wars, but we apparently are immune. Is it because we are not lovers of change? The British form of government is stable. Police, military, economical and political systems haye lasted 1000 - years and in purpose they will still be in existence another 1000, It must be because we have qualities that no other race possesses. Take a stroll, if you will, across one of those staid old bridges . that "traverse Father Thames, London, Waterloo or West- minster.

The Sacred City no longer has that pas- sive appearance that a sense of se- curity imparts. The City decomes alert to threatened danger and war- riors of land and air are passing along historic streets on their Empire sav- ing mission, Added to this those magnificent edifices hitherto the mecea of all mankind have now lost their impressive appearance for here and there on every thoroughfare in which they raised their lofty pinnacles cavernous gaps like some almost toothless hag now loom across the horizon. The sense of solidity onde possessed by he citizens has been rudely shaken as day by day and hour by hour as they wonder what other foul weapon will uncoughly intrude the sacred ports which itherto.- had been their castle, At such times: as these we are forced to stop and reflect. We are at our wits ends to know what to do for the best. Or if we do anything at all will it be for the best? When we sce the Flower of our Empire going off on some perilous chance from which there may be no return, we ask ourselves is the sacrifice worth while? At such times as these one is at the end of his resources, The fraility of. mankind was never niore apparent.

In dire ex- tremity people seeks expedient, it is truly said, necessity is the mother of invention. They delve into the say- ings of Eastern sages; they might do worse, Beverley Baxter in his last London letter says: The British people resemble the Chinese in their love for ancient customs, ancestral worship, their patience and forebearance along diplomatic lines. In an English magazine we noted a comment of Con- fucius who stated: "If you would bet- ter your own condition then try to im- prove the circumstances of others.

In every life there is a yearn- ing for something beyond him even though never expressed, that is a de- sire for the best life as David saya: "As the heart pants after water brooks so panteth after Thee", That desire 1s forever unsatisfied until it finds itself in the Great Being that can supply our every need. "We have to solve two inseparable main problems: the econorhic problem of how to produce and distribute our subsistence; and the political problem of how to select our rulers and prevent them from abusing their authority in their own interests or those of their class or religion" iA fray STEER But there is something better than : --Bernard Shaw. } F leon, Continued With the Best Intentions ..\............

Nott Ottawa, Feb. 10th, 1941 Dear Editor: Having recently returned from over- seas, I feel it my duty to write a few lines. I was invalided back to Canada caused from injury on left knee.

Maybe some of Port Perry Veterans of last con- flict would like to know or have an idea 'of this battle today. Its very much changed to last war tactics. Very fast moving vehicles and every- thing moves at night by convoy. Very dark for drivers; roads are narrow and winding; so many accidents occur. ! Very strict on blackouts and heavy penalties for not observing rules. Was in London, Coventry, Portsmouth and saw a good deal of the results of mass bombing; but I must tell you the Germans will never break the spirit, firmness or courage of the present English race. He sure breaks the The civilians deserve the edals this time as it is their war. Everyone is working hard to "beat Naziism of which they will do. Everyone who is capable, healthy and of sound mind, can't do too much to help the army, air force and navy by buying War Saving Stamps and Certificates, be saving of all goods and money, to help the man behind the gun in the battle front. How good it feels to receive a parcel or a letter from home, especial- ly when one receives a earton of cigar- ettes. Smokes are very high in price in England.

I could write twenty more pages on what I saw but 1 am limited to news, and it is strict- - ly against rules and orders to tell all In my 'opinion England will never be invaded to prove successes, but bomb- ing will be more severe when better weather sets in. Its great to see the air battles and the German' planes burning up by our grand fliers in the Spitfires, Defiants and Hurricanes. 1 saw over 400 German planes over England but were soon driven back by our fighters -- over 180 down one day will tell the story.
