The number of emigrants from Britain to Canada has been climb- ing steadily, except for a brief lapse in 1950, since 1949 when 22,- 201 crossed the ocean. The follow- ing year the figure dropped to 13,400 but in 1951 it was back up to 31,370. In the first seven months of this year . the number of applications handled by the department was greater by 2,000 than over the 'cor- {responding period 'in 1952. Beefs are rare. That goes for the London office and those maintained in Liverpool, Glasgow, 'Belfast and Dublin, Casselman said. Emigrants today have fewer misconceptions concerning Canada and he credits this to a plan adopted in 1951 whereby group meetings for prospective settlers have been arranged by travel ag- encies throughout Britain.

"Why couldn't steak?" asked a captain. "Chances are we'd have got tur- key whether it was Thanksgiving or not," said a private That was it. The army suffers from a glut of turkey. How come? A lieutenant-colonel wasn't sure. But he told about the situation late the war, HARROWING DAYS The colonel recalled with fine nausea those last harrowing days --two weeks when the front-line soldiers had turkey every other ay. "It was a ration foul-up," he declared, "and it did us a lot more harm than the enemy did." So the situation is normal--all fowled up. Turkey on the menu it have been twice a week, with hot turkey sandwiches and turkey salad in be- tween. 4 A mess sergeant told me he be- came so depressed he took to strong drink. He wanted to put up a sign on the mess hall door: "Caution: Turkey today." His major talked him out of it. It isn't just the repetition that has the 8th army down on turkey. The cause lies in the deep freeze where the turkey is kept. "Maybe the turkey just comes too damned far and for too damned long," the colonel said. 'Somewhere out in the ocean it looses all its flavor and arrives on my plate tasting like a roasted plastic pocket comb--with sage dressing."

How do you pronounce Soest? The answer, says commanding officer Brig. W. . B. Anderson, is S-0-A-ST--rhyvmes with toast. The 38-year-old career soldier from Montreal and Ottawa said "considerable research' went into solving this weighty question. Ordinarily the "oe" combination would call for a kind of guttural grunt, difficult to render phonet- .cally, but Soest as a place name | is a special case.

When sweethearts in Canada want to 'break off romances with sol- diers overseas, they don't break the news in a letter--they just stop writing. Rifleman Stan Wickens of Alder- shot, Ont., and William Smjth of Hamilton passed al this inform- ation while munching bratwurst, German version of a hot dog. They said it hadn't happened to them, but they knew "several" fellows whose girls had stopped writing after publication in Canada of art- icles criticizing the Canadian 27th Brigade. A dental officer said one of his men was upset because his girl in Canada had broken off their en- gagement, presumably because of adverse articles. ODD SWITCH History plays strange tricks.
