Collectors Seek Stamps A Sea-dcg Invented VANCOUVER (CP)--A growing number of stamp collectors are finding a veritable treasure chest in the stamp markings used by coastal, lake and river steamers in British Columbia. It is a fast-disappearing field, making the ship stamps all the more valuable from the collector's viewpoint. Only three ship marks now are in use on the west coast. They are those of the Burrard inlet, travelling post office operated by Harbor Navigation Company on the north arm of Burrard inlet; the 'Prince Rupert and Prince George, both in the northern ser- wice of Canadian National Steam- ips.

The title of his address was "1953 ~-- A Year of Destiny'. Mr. Wemp began his address by reading the scripture lesson from Daniel 12. While part of the Book of Daniel was not difficult to un- derstand, it has been only in recent f} 4 that this chapter has been dnderstood. Daniel 'was given the visfon and told to seal up the book till time of the end. It was not until 1917 that students of prophecy began to understand what this engine. Since the motor car and airplane the motor car and airplane have come into existence and at ih resent time, the people are ave! whole of Christ! Then referring to the lesson . 'Wemp read these words, 'an when he shall have accomplished verse means dedica apart. When Abraham was willing to offer up Isaac, Isaac and his de scendants were. dedicated to service of God. The power of the ple of God is to weakened order that the devil might think the time has-come for him to act. "T think you will all agree with me that power of Britain has been weakened. The devil knows he eannot de us unless he can destroy our faith in God. How many people really believe the Bible these days?" For many years we have been | Lor 1953 and' looking towards the the arly months of 1954 as a year of Destiny and the things that are happening lead us to believe this is so. Mr. Wemp spoke of our Lord's reply to the desciples when they asked Him about signs of His return in glory, and said many things are happening that show that time is near. During this year . we have had many things happen. In Kenya the Mau Mau movement which is communist - inspired, are to exterminate the white man in Africa. On January 20, Mr. Eisenhower was' inaugurated as President of the United States. He insisted on hav- his own Bible and opened it at 2 nicles 14:7. This was a mar- vellbus thing, whether he realized it or not; he issued a call to the nation to return to God. Then there was the death of Queen Mary, one of three living queens. This was the first time in history that Brit- ain. has had three queens living. |} There is an old Scottish proverb that goes, "When Britain has Queens three. T'will be the end of || the dynasty". Then the death of J. Stalin and the rise of Malénkov,' who in turn got rid of Beria who was head of the secret police and a powerful. man. The trouble in Egypt, 1 believe, there is some agreement now that the British will be put of there in 18 months. Then the Grecian eerthquakes and an- othér one last week in Italy. On August 20 came the over- throw of Mossadech whose was Communist. We do not knew yet: what the final result of that will be. On this date Britain and United States announced that Rus- sia had the H-bomb. Then t Trieste trouble just lately, and Rus- sia' has promised to help Tito. Trouble in British Guiana.

Hundreds of two-year veterans are sailing for home. Hundreds are coming out from Canada to re- place them and hundreds more are leaving the bright lights of Hann- over, their old headquarters, for new camps spread over the peace- ful rolling plains of rural West- Here, in some of Germany's most beautiful country, the sold- fers from Hannover and the arriv- als from Canada--many of them battle-weary Korea veterans--are moving into trim new cement bar- racks scatiered over 35 miles of | agricultural land adjacent to the famous Mohnesse Dam. With inauguration ceremonies Tuesday, they became part of the 1st Canadian Infantry Brigade Group replacing the old 27th Brigade which was formed in 1951 to meet Canada's military man- power commitments tp the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. So far ths biggest overseas move- ment of Canadan troops since the was has proceeded peacefully. On a three-day tour of the Hannover and Soest areas I did not hear any- thing worse than a mild soldierly "beef." Home-gong Canadians were in high spirts and the new arrivals from overseas voiced their approval of the new barracks in rugged and colorful terms. Some 27th Brigade veterans were : | sorry to leave Hannover where they have made many friends (and drawn a few criticisms) over the past two years. But the majority took the move philisophically. "Really this is more our line of country," said a young private from Fairview, Alberta. "I think most Canadians are small-towners at heart and this little town of Soest seems to have everything a fellow needs." Although the new barracks, built by German labor, were completed only two weeks ago, more than 1,000 troops have already moved in. By next summer it is expected there will be 5,300 Canadians in this area and when addition to the camp are complete tHere will be 11 NAAFI canteens, married quarters for 1,500 soldier families two schools for the children, gen- eral stores for shopping, reading rooms, gymnasiums, shows, and even soda fountains. FIRST FAMILY IN First family to settle here is that of Major William Mitchell, who brought his wife and four children, ages falging from one to 12 years, over from the York Mills area of Toronto. They are staying a hotel until their camp quarters are the war by Win, Commander Guy Gibson, V.C. The bombing lossed 130,000,000 gallons of water flood- ing the Ruhr Valley and knocking out many of its heavy industries. The town of Soest, just five miles from the nearst camps, has 31,000 inhabitants and is an agricultural distributing point for the surround- ing farmlands. Most of its quaint and colorful houses are of a soft green sandstone quarried in the Soest area. It has two of the old- est churches in Westphalia--the Petri church dating from the eighth century and the Patrokli- Dam church which was built bet-|; ° ween 954 and 960. Both are out- standing examples of early Middle ready and others will have to do|Ag the same for the time being. Brigade officers believe that Brigadier W. A. B. Anderson, 38- year-old commander of the 1st In- fantry Brigade, will "make things hum" on the recreational front. "He is a stickler for efficiency but he believes in keeping the boys happy as well," one officer said. "I have an idea this will soon develop into a thriving Canadian community." The boys from Korea thought S80, too. Al "After Korea this is just what the doctor ordered," said Lance Corporal R. Johnson of Hanna, Alta. This view was supported by oth- er Korea veterans, among them Privates F. A. Allard, Edmonton; M. B. O'Melia, Halifax, N.S., and K. A. Backwith, Trenton, Ont. One of the happiest men in the camp is Private Robert Angus of Toronto, who runs the very latest thing in cookhouses and is sur- rounded by every type of modern culinary gadget, including a huge mixer that can be used either for hamburgers or ice cream. The new barracks, built to Brit ish Army specifications, are sin- gle-storey buildings with white stucco walls and green shallow peaked roofs, each accommodating a minimum of 15 soldiers. Many of them overlook the Mohnesse Dam which was bombed during e art. GERMAN WIVES PRAISED Germany is more of a man's country than either Britain or Canada. That is the opinion of many Canadian soldiers. I met in Hannover and Soest. It is also my personal impression. Canadians in this are who have married German girls are full of praise for them they say they will work cheerfully from morning till night to keep the home clean and bright and take a pride in keeping their men happy. In cafes and stores it seemed to me that the salesgirls invariably served the men first and behaved towards them as if they were in- deed the 'lords of creation," In Canadian Army messes the Ger- man vaitresses offer rapid-fire service. Before you have time to reach for the mustard or the salt the waitress jumps in first and grabs it for you. It is quite breath- taking. Driver John T. Muise, RCASC, of Yarmouth, N.S, married a Han- nover girl last July. "We are very happy," he said, 'and the fact that my wife's father was killed while fighting against us in the war makes no difference. She says 'It was the tragedy of war and there s no use having feeling.' "My wife's mother and sister are the same. They have shown me every kindness."

Sapiano likes Germany so much he has put in for a further two years' of service with the 1st Canadian Infantfy Brigade Group. After that he and his wife plan to return to Canada. "We are looking forward to occupying married quarters in the new camp and the country is so beautiful I feel I could stay here for life. But our future is obvious. ly in Canada." Sapiano has an unusual history. Born and raised on the island of Malta, he joined the British Army as a lad of 16 and served in the last war. After discharge he emigrated to Canada and settled into civvy life in Toronto. But when the 27th Canadian Infantry Brigade Group was formed in 1951 "I decided I'd like to be back in khaki," Sapiano said. 'I'm 'glad I did, for the Army took me tod vp Germany and here I have the best wife in the world." : Lance Corporal Edward Camp- bell of London, Ont., who works in the General Staff office at Soest, is to marry a local girl shortly. He, too, has applied for two mare years of service in this area. THE DATLY TIMES-GAPETTE, Wedneofoy, November 85, WOE 99 CAMP PETAWAWA, Ont.
