oaurtoqoifese dftssvaa ftn 0wjfjl rra editors corner under canvas we were shown through an army camp last sunday afternoon one in which the soldiers are stil under canvas and the impression we gained there from of army life was a good one the precise way in which the tents are placed and the uniformity of their construction gives immediate rise to the thought that here we woutd find order and precision in all matter we know that life in the army is no jolce and we also know that being a vital cog in our country defense mechanism is the finest and most serious task a man can be engaged in today yet seeing men perform their own housekeeping tasks cannot fail to bring a gleam of amusement to the eye of any feminine spectator were not saying they dont make a good job of it though be cause we hae to admit they do well it suits them any way and after all thats the main thing isnt it we happened to remark how neat and snug the tents looked from the outside whereupon we were promptly shown the interior of one it was a model of neatness and cleanliness each mans blankets fold ed just so his equipment on top and eating utensils placed alongside in a uniform way the thought ran through our mind that the army would do men a lot of good in more ways than one just think wives and mothers how they will have acquired neat orderly habits when they return to our care in civilian life no more will we hear that familiar masculine cry of where did you put my hat or almost any other article of apparel that you can think of there will be a place for everything and everything in its pacewe hope all departments stores hospital mm can teen kitchen and pay office necessary for the mainten ance of the camp are under canvas and the scene is far from drab some of the men had been very ambit ious and as a result have a beautifully planned garden of sowers blooming in profusion outside their tent they must have had a green thumb to get blooms like that in one short month of cultivation we got a kick out of seeing the boys doing their washing at the laundry which consists of long rows of wash basins set on big tables there they were scrubbing away for dear life and glancing over to the tents again we were nble to discern short lines of wet clothing strung up from tent to tent drying in the sun eyirg them with suspicion we found they werent tattletale gray either then we were shown the guardhouse where they confine men who have disobeyed rules or com mitted some serious offence right next to it was a tent- full of highspirited lads who were amusing themselves by providing their own sunday afternoon music was it a merskoincidcnce that guitar mouth organ and two lusty singers were doing full justice to that wellknown cowboy song birmingham jail we could imagine the poor chaps in the guardhouse were gritting their teeth we were dying to have a look at the kitchen but somehow missed out on it we hear good reports on the food issuing from it however so i guess it must be alright too we are well aware of the serious side of army life and of the many administrative problems which must confront those in authority we came away with a sincere admiration of the way in which life in an army camp is organized and underneath our levity admiration too for the splendid way in which our men hnve adapted thcmsclvch to a drastically new mode of jiving renewed effort theres an urgent call going out to the people of this country for renewed effort in the rubber salvage imiaign the appeal is nationwide lets get right be hind it and make it a real success people in george town can do their part by cooperating with the lions club who are in charge of rubber salvage for out town bring all your old rubber tires gloves boots coats hotwater bottles or any articles which contnin the

been thunderstruck by a supertor mllitary system but that did not wipe out the desire for liberty he predicted that prance would again take her place in the tight crushed pulagrd snd betrevrd she aould sgsln arise and prove the conndrnce which bri tain had in her temporarily over- uuoan ally ultle by little he declared s vast prench reslstrnce is forming and it was to organise that resistance
