After going a few miles I sputter and spurt and send steam out of my radiator cap until my master gives me a good drink. Then I bounce along for another short distance until I am forced "to stall" as I am com- pletely puffed out. Sometimes my master becomes angry; his curses fill my ears for many minutes at a time. one cold morning as. my master was for a most interesting topic. The roll was called; offering taken; min-' utes of the last meeting read and adopted and business discussed. A hymn was sung and the meeting | closed at 9.30 with the Mizpah bene- | diction. IE TR WR NOTICE There will be no Young People's meetings for the next two weeks on account of examinations at school and the Christmas Concert, but we are planning on having a Skating Party at the rink on Tuesday, December 20th.

Their relation to the Dow family and their several virtues and failings were graphically recited by Mrs. Z. M. Jackson (who did that task ex- tremely well), and it is surprising what a lot of history and human philosophy was locked away in that picture book. The night was stormy; but there was a good crowd, and the general verdict was that the evening had been most happily spent. ee te JUNIOR WAR WORKERS The regular meeting of the Junior War Workers will be held at the home of Mrs. Bob Vernon on Tuesday even- ing, December 15th.

To further this purpose there is a constant interchange of ideas and opinions to further strengthen our aims. Bh i A popular demonstration of this wholehearted collaboration was the visit to Toronto this) week of news- papermen from Mexico and Bolivia, Brought here by the Wartime In- formation Board, these men are being shown Canada's: contribution to the United war effort. Not the least of which is the armed forces. Mr. Fredirice Gutierrez, editor of Tierra in La Paz, Bolivia and former Minister of Finance in that country gave an expression of the whole party's admiration of Canada's fight- ing men-when he stated that nowhere had he seen such highly trained and "The Family Failing" The teachers, Misses Harris and Bryce, are to be congratulated on their choice of a play. "The Family Failing" put on by the students of Grades XII and XIII on Tuesday- evening to a capacity audience, was a play packed with action from beginning to end and the players are to be commended for the natural way in which each one en- acted his or her part. "The Family Failing" is the story of a woman, Mrs. Dale; who is deter- mined to have her own way, even if she has to suffer a fake heart attack to gét'it; her sister, Miss Marks, who has travelled considerably, and who also likes to have her own way al- though as she says "She never likes to interfere", and goes about ta.see that things are done as she wants them. Mrs, Dale expects her daughte: Betty to marry Dean Bill, but these tivo young people are in love with others and do not want to go through with it. Suspense is introduced into the play when all the-lights go out.

' * % * : In direct contrast to that -day in September 1916 when the tank made ifs debut in the Battle of the Somme, the art of tank fighting has developed from crude bashing and slow lumber- ing to a highly skilled, slashing form that demands tough physique and a keen mind. The German army introduced the word "blitzkrieg" into this war to describe the devastating power of its tanks, Translated the word means lightning war. From this it is easy to understand why a man must be a rugged individual before he can even step inside a tank. The tank itself is designed prim- arily to bring the most effective fire on the most suitable targets. There are no rigid rules to govern actual work of the tank as each separate tar- get presents different problems. A distinctive vocabulary has been evolved by Canada's black beret army. A "maggie" is .a.machine gun, a undér cover. An "ant" is an anti-tank gun and a "hornet" is an armoured fighting vehicle, 1. 0.D.E. «The meeting of Scugog Chapter, I, 0. D.
