WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1940 a --- Germany Short Of Food Recent reports from Europe that one million pigs are to be slaughtered in Den- mark; that ten thousand head of Danish cattle had been transported to Germany; that millions of fowl in the Netherlands had been ordered killed and that it is ex- pected Germany will demand Swiss food re- serves, seems to be ampie evidence that Germany is short of food supplies, is at- tempting to build up reserves for the com- ing winter or else grabbing what supplies they can in view of the British blockade. It has been reported that the Nazis in France are raiding stores and sending to Germany all food supplies they can lay their hands on. If we knew the truth probably the Nazis are doing the same thing in every country where they have gained control. Simultaneously the subtle propaganda to stimulate charitable people of this continent to send food supplies to "starving Europe' is being disseminated from Berlin head- quarters. The plan is to get the United States to ship great cargoes of food to France and other occupied regions where famine will prevail in a few months. Once these supplies are landed beyond the At- lantic, they will be seized by the German masters to feed German soldiers and civil- jans. They will not be permitted to reach the starving French, Belgians, Hollanders or Norwegians. There will be loud complaints that the British blockade is responsible for the food shortage. That, however, is just one part of the story. It is true that the British blockade is causing the Germans to squirm a bit, but they are responsible for the merci- less despoliation of the occupied countries. There was no shortage of food in France, Belguim, Holland, Denmark or Norway un- til the Germans invaded their lands. The United States ought not to be bamboozled into feeding the German army or German civilians under the pretext that they are aiding suffering people in areas that were once unoffending democracies. Hitler and Bible Truths The arch-fiend of Europe occupies a pro- minent place in any field in which he is found. Even in Biblical affairs wherever he touches he is recognized as a leader. In committing atrocities he is par-excel- lence, especially when it comes to dealing with un-armed men and defenceless wo- men and children. In a week or two when _ matters get too hot for him he will shout "Kamarad"' louder than any one else in Ger- many, in fact his cries for mercy will en- circle the earth. Some have the idea that he has no use for religion, if he has not then some of his friends must have copied the example of his friends the Gibeonites found in the 9th Chapter of Joshua. This nation knowing that Israel would soon be occupying their territory came to the leaders of Israel as if they had come from a far country. They ° came with torn clothes, worn out sandals, mouldy bread and dry water bottles to prove their contention. Thus they made a truce with the leaders of Israel, which the latter did without consulting the higher- ups. The Israelites soon discovered that they had been tricked for the Gibeonites in- stead of living afar off, as they had de- clared, occupied adjacent territory; but be- cause they had made a compact with the new-comers remained true to their oath. Perhaps you ask: What has this to do with Germany? This is the comparison. After the Great War an untouched Ger- many came with a dismal tale of woe. Her former enemies, several with devastated - countries, caused by Germany, were in a sorry plight; but Germany and her unmo- lested lands came with her cries for pity to generous hearted Britain. She stated that she was poverty stricken and helpless in this harsh unfeeling world, till by hook and by crook she wrested the most gen- arous concessions from the Allies, her former joes. What did she do with her wonderful op- portunities that were granted her? She did not begin to do half so good as the Boers who have responded to generous British treatment and who have displayed such a marvellous spirit of gratitude to her erstwhile opponents. Who together worked with Britain until they have developed into one of the most loyal of all the British colonies. A people today who consider Bri- tain's foes their foes and who, for the most part, would spill the last drop of blood in aid of the British Empire. But what of spirit has Germany shown? She never got over the fact that she had been beaten and with a spirit of revenge and hatred against the British has develop- ed the most deadly war macHine that the world has ever known, sacrificing to the very limit, everything to that purpose that she might overcome her former opponents who had tried so hard to be her friends. She should be treated without mercy. Britain has thrown the last ounce of her resources into the scales to beat her treacherous enemy, for there will be no hope, nor any aid, if the axis powers get the upper hand. If Germany could treat the nations who yielded to her just recently, so harshly, how bitter will her treatment of those who stood up against her and who have tried to defend themselves against her mighty force. If she is allowed the least bit of lee-way she will scheme in the future as in the past and in the next generation build up such a mighty power that she will be unassailable. -- Joseph Denny. Guards Need Guns and Ammunition The Province of Ontario is making an appeal for arms for the use of the Volun- teer Civil Guards, and Attorney-General Gordon D. Conant, a native of this balliwick, was the first to donate two guns to the local cause. His action should be followed by hundreds of others in this city and On- tario County, who have sporting rifles and 12 guage shot guns, for which they will have little use while the war is on. In fact it should be a patriotic duty to turn avail- able firearms over to the Volunteer Civil Guards. The guns suitable for the guards may be deposited at any office of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police, or at the headquarters of the Volunteer Civil Guard, Parliament Buildings, Toronto. In Oshawa, W. H. Clark, Provincial Police officer, whose office is " on Richmond street west, in the new police department building, will officially receive such guns and rifles brought to him and will issue a receipt for same. These will be returned after the war or when the guards are through with them. As will be readily recognized, - guards without firearms in time of war would be of little use. Canada appears to have a short- age of guns and ammunition at the present time and for that reason the government is making the appeal. The appeal should be heeded, although it is not compulsory. It is not our intention to be pessimistic, but surely people who are acquainted with all the facts should realize that Canada should be prepared for any and every emergency. Editorial Notes When it is officially reported that 110,- 912 motor vehicles were produced in. Canada during the first half of the year as against 93,759 and 102,158 during the correspond- ing periods of 1939 and 1938 respectively, it will be agreed that Canada's motor in- dustry has not done too badly in spite of the war or perhaps because of it. The United States passport regulations and the Canadian ban on pleasure expendi- tures across the border is providing many Canadians with an excellent opportunity to learn more about their own country and the number of cars bearing license-plates of other provinces that are to be seen on On- tario highways proves that they are taking advantage of it. "If you saw a man wandering around in the streets with a smallpox rash on his face," says the Chatham News, "you would immediately notify the Medical Health Of- ficer and demand protection for yourself and your family. Why, then, do you hesi- tate to notify the police authorities when you see a motorist driving his car in a careless and dangerous fashion?" Why, in- deed? Careless driving is infinitely more dangerous than smallpox--because small- pox is not allowed to run loose.

The government policy of encouraging the export of cattle from Canada t& the United States, was in his opin- fon, entirely wrong. Great Britain, he felt, wees the market to which we ought to look for shipments of live beef, because she is a great beef consuming country depending very largely on imports. The speaker, who was Introduced by Mayor F. T. Rowe, traced the early history of beef cattle improve- ment which had its roots in Eng- land, going back to the year 1775 when the first move along that line was made by prominent men who realized that there was a great fut- ure for beef cattle if proper methods of improvement in feeding could be utilized. It was due, Mr, Miller stat- ed, to the foresight of those early pioneers in the beef cattle industry that the highly satisfe:tory condi- tions prevailing today not only in Canada but in countries like the Ar- gentine--the greatest beef producing country in the world, prevail. Can- ada, too, had also benefited because many of the early settlers from the old land brought with them superior stock. In the Argentine Mr. Miller point- ed out the cattle were superior to any in the world, one ranch alone of a million acres shipping two thou- sand fer steers every month and having in service 900 stock bulls, Much was to be said, the speaker pointed out, of the fact that Scotch and English bred bulls had been im- portant factors in the improvement: of the beef cattle industry in many countries of the world, although they seldom got past third in prize lists. The speaker touched briefly on the production of commercial cattle in Canada, more freely sold in our butcher shops and raised largely on ranches in Alberta and Northern Ontario, where land was suitable and feed cheap. Commercial cattle, he pointed out, were handled largely by the packers to whom many sins were imputed and criticism levelled, Although roast beef sold at 28 cents a pound in the butcher shop, the fermer obtained only from six to six and a half cents live weight, and it was hard for the public to find the reason for discrepancy in price, between the killing and the packing, Mr. Miller pointed out that the majority ask for roest beef and steak, the more expensive cuts for MARKET Whitby Officer Tells of Retreat Of Canadian Troops From France; Had to Dodge Enemy Bombers From Homes by Germans Blocked Highways and Impeded Troop Move- ments Writes Lieut. Mc- Arthur Whitby, Ontario, August 7.-- In ga letter to his mother, Mrs. R. E. McArthur, Brock street south, Lieut. R. J. McArthur, who went overseas with the Canadien Army Service Corps, tells of his thrilling experience in the reireat of Cana- dian troops from France. Extracts from the letter follow: "It has been very hectic to say the least. It is no secret now so I can tell you we landed in Brest on June 13th and proceeded inland some 300 miles by road to a position just south of Le Mans--between Le Mans and Paris. Neéglless to say we weren't able to stay thee very long as the French army apparently col- lapsed, end we were in great danger of being cut off by the German drive to the south through Rennes. We commenced our retreat and cov- ered 300 some odd miles, with one detour to avoid their columns, in 4 | French Refugees Driven| ten hours. I can truthfully say that | no army has ever moved that fast | and with perfect discipline, too. The night before we left, two officers | and I took a party up to a depot on the outskirts of Le Mans. We got there alright although we had to take to the ditches once because enemy bombers were a little too close for comfort. On our return from there we were lost for two hours in total darkness and weren't able to move until dawn. We were about ten miles from our depot when the Germans came along and blew it all to smithereens. Then we started to move out. For nine days I didn't have my clothes off so you can imagine how it felt to get back to England and get a hot bath. The French refugees hampered our movements horribly and the only language they were sable to un- derstand was the point of a gun in their stomachs. Fifth Columnists, and parachute troops in disguise, were everywhere, so we took abso- lutely no chances with any of them We got out of Brest the third last day it was in Allied hands. Don Hungerford and I slept on the for- ward deck and tried to keep warm under one greatcoat, mine! What a life!" which the butcher was obliged to get a high price, because of the fact that a large portion of other cuts of beef did not find such a ready mar- ket. The problem of educating people to purchase these cuts of beef, which in meny cases were just as good and resulted in smaller butcher bills, was one of those now engag- ing the attention of Women's In- stitute and other organizations. The vote of thanks to Mr. Miller was moved by Rotarian Walter Thomson. DISMISSES CHARGE AGAINST AUTOIST Oshawa Man Gives Evid- ence in Hearing at Newmarket Newmarket, Ont., Aug. 7. -- A charge of dangerous driving, laid aginst Willlam Hudson Wilson, To- ronto, the driver of a truck which was involved in an accident with a car and an army truck at Mulock's corners on Yonge street, was dis- missed. Ivan Brown, King, driver of the car, said thet he had been trav- elling in a southerly direction at about 25 miles an hour and had at- tempted to turn left into Middle- brook's garage when the Wilson truck, coming up behind him, cut out to pass his car. "I saw the truck about 200 yards behind me, through the mirror in my car," he testified. "As I slowed down to turn, I felt a bump on my left-hand side. I applied my brakes. There was an army truck going north." When cross-examined by J. F McGarry, defence counsd, Mr, Brown admitted not having given any signal that he was turning lefi until he felt the "bump" truck. of the Leonard Tate, Oshawa, driver of truck, the Brown car was "pretty well in the centre lane when the Wilson truck pulled around it." "I could hear the truck brakes,' he said. "The triuler on the back of the truck swung around and struck the side of the north-bound army truck. I eased my car off the side of the 10ad to prevent a further smash-up." Mr, Wilson stated that Mr. Brown had not given him warning that he was going to turn. He seid that he had to apply his brakes suddenly and in so doing his car swerved around, the trailer at the rear strik- ing the army truck. Provincial Constable Alex. Fer guson, who investigated, stated thet the army truck, a 1940 model in good condition, was a total loss. Its driver, Joseph McCurdy, Camp Borden, received painful injuries. He said that he found Mr. Wilson "in a normal condition" at the time of the accident. "There is no conflict of evidence in this case," said Magistrate Pol- son. "It is quite evident that Brown did not signal. If he had made a quick turn everything would have been alright. The army truck was going so fast. It is accustomed to travel from 60 to 75 m.p.h. It is pos- sible that Wilson did not see the army truck when he attempted to pass Brown, Therefore I dismiss the case.' --Newmarket Era.

TOUR OF WEST BY WHITBY RECTOR FULL OF INTEREST Impressed With City of Saskatoon -- Meets Whitby People Whitby, Aug. 7--Rev. E. Ralph Adye, rector of All Saints' Church, in the following interesting article west where he spent a month. This is the third of a series of articles and others will follow: 80 we came to Saskatoon, the meeting place of great streams of traffic from every point of the com- pass. Set on the flat prairie with- out shade trees the heat, even early in the morning struck one as with a breath from a furnace. The city itself is laid out well and its broad avenues are lined with at- tractive stores. A new station has just been completed and is modern in every respect with underground passages leading to the various plat- forms, Here, after breakfast with Bishop Hallam of the Diocese of Saskatoon, we entrained for Prince Albert, ninety miles north. Wwe arrived at noon and found this city a thriving metropolis of eleven thousand people. The first settlers arrived here in 1866 and three settlements were established. The Anglican to the west of the centre, the Presbyterian in the centre and the Hudson's Bay Company Post to the east. Thus the city is very well spread out and forms something of a problem for the city fathers. It is built upon the banks of the North Saskatchewan River which was the original highway into this country and now has been dammed to form a large quiet stretch of water where built of logs, and in the ard are the grave: of many celebrities of this northern Church. There is also a special piot where those who died in the service of the R.N.W. MP. are buried. There used fo be a large detachment stationed here. Connection was made here with Whitby people in the persons of Edgar Eldridge and his wife Mr. Adye had the married and living and Albert. It was amazing how all over. the country one runs across connections with the home town, Later on at Meota, to the west of Prince Albert, Mr. Adye met Mrs. Calvert, a sister of Mrs. Frank Puckrin who was lighted to hear the news of the own i Edgar and Mrs. sen eir pest regards to old friends in Whitby, Tay eke get the Gazette and Chronicle and it is much apreciated by them for} its news of their old friends After a rest at Prince Albert and visits to outlying parishes which will be described more fully at a later date, our party divided, two going to Meota and two to Lloyd- minster not to meet again until on the way home, [NUSED NOW MIAMI ESTATE COST FORTUNE Built at Cost of $15,000, 000, Magnificent Home in Perfect Shape Miami, Fla., kept in perfect condition is one o! the world's magnificent estates Villa Vizcaya, built by James Deer- the planes from the North land and take off. Many of the buildings | are very imposing structures built in the period around 1908 when | there were boom times in this sec- | tion. The streets are wide. There | are many attractive homes with their shrubbery and flower gardens just as we have them in Whitby. The penitentiary for the northern prairies is locaWwd here. The city aleo spreads up the hills which form the banks of the river and in some places are very steep so that excel. lent views can be seen from a great many of the streets. The prosperity | of the city depends upon the crop and from all accounts it appears that the cron will be good this year. Just north of Prince Albert are the lakes which are the playground of the people from far and wide. Our party spent the week on Emma Lake at Okema Beach where the Diocese of Saskatchewan has g large tract of land. The lake, about forty miles from the city is not very large but being surrcunded by hills and well wooded it presents a most attractive view. The water is col- oured by the clay soil and is very shallow for a long way from the: shore which makes it an ideal spot for children to play. The winding Toads surrounding the lake provide many pretty drives for the visitor and where there is lighter soil the evergreen trees grow in great profusion. This is a wel- come sight to Ontario eyes. The main road leads on to Lake Waske- sien in the Prince Albert National Park and is a mecca for tourists from a long distance away. Our stay here was most pleasant though the evenings were very cold and the stoves in the cottages were well used at night and in the morning. Returning to Prince Albert we were shown the Sanitorium which is quite modern and one of the finest build- ings of its kind we had ever seen. On the outskirts of the city to the west is an old Anglican Church, | ployed. ing, which had been occupied only for two brief periods sincz the har-| vester magnate died in 1925, | The estate, reputed to have cost $15,000,000, is located at the south ern edge of Miami's city limits on 180 acres of what once was man- grove swamp along the Biscayne Bayfront. Although the estate has been une occupied for many years, a brother- in-law and two nieces of Deering, who inherited it, pay a huge sum for maintenance of its formal and tropical gardens, fountains and waterways, natural Florida hams« mock and immense Roman plazzo.
