> ♦ > 4 t - ; m ^ NEWS PARADE... POLAND'S CORE: The Poles, who have been expecting and preparing tor this war with Germany for al- â- tost twenty years, long ago decid- ed that the ultimate core- of their defense would be the triangular central region of industry between Krahow on the west, Lwow on the east, Lublin on the north. Into this area (look at the map), guarded by blgblands, served by two rivers, Poland two years ago moved her â-¼Ital steel and munitions works, built power plants, at a cost of 1200,000,000. If Poland is force<l tack into this "safeiy triangle", iitae can still receive aid through her southeast gate . . . the valley of the Dniester down to Humaaia and the Black Sea. Germany can- not block this gate without going around through Hungary or fight- ing through all the way from Kra- kow to Lwow. Grand strategy of the Polish ar- mies has been to retire slowly, and conserve manpower, consolidate ibelr lines, then make a last stand to the death in the Triangle. SPY STORIES: In a wide district bordering on Lake Huron, farmers and townspeople have been lying awake nights, or sleeping head-un- dor-the-covers In recent weeks. Persistent rumors about the big Haigmeyer farm near Thedford are the reason. Some reports said it is a German airbase; others that it 1b a centre for German espionage activity throughout Ontario. Stor- ies of concealed weapons, dyna- mite, poison gas, sabotage equip- ment, men on sentry duty, have teen spreading like wildfire. Prov- incial police are tired of denying these tales, and It is thought that the owners of the estate, two bro- thers, doctors, of Preston, may de- mand an investigation before any â- erlous damage can be done to ttaelr property by frenzied but mJs- Kulded patriots. MR. KING'S POLICY: Highlights of the Canadian government's pol- icy In the war crisis as outlined in Prime Minister Mackenzie King's â- peech to the House of Commons: Rapid expansion of air training and of air and naval facilities, and the despatch of trained air person- â- el; Economic pressure against Germany, including seizure of the ahlps and property; Defense of Newfoundland, t/abrador, the Gulf ©i St . Lawrence and nearby French possessions, by Canada; Development here of munitions bases; Industry and agriculture geared to a wartime basis; No con- scription; Furnishing of supplies of all kinds to British and Allied powers, including munitions, food- stuffs, manufactured and raw mat- erials; Measures to assure the fur- nishing of financial support for Ca- nada's military participation; Con- trol of profiteering; protection ag- ainst sabotage; Consultations with government of Great Britain. The cardinal point of Mr. King's policy, is this: "The primary task and responsibility of the people of Canada is the defence and security of Canada.'' Schools In Air And On Wheels Canada's UtUe Red School- house in Modem Versions pioneer teachers who ruled In Canada's early schools would open their eyes with astonishment at modern versions of the little red schoolhouse across the Dominion as Autumn classes have resumed. In Nova Scotia, the schools have taken to the air. In Ontario they are on wheels. Physical education once supplied to most students through farm chores, is compul- sory In British Columbia schools. Saskatchewan has an extensive correspondence course system with students in remote sections of the province getting their educa- tion through Post Office facilities. Children in far off lands get all their education through Ontario's correspondence course, Ontario missionary families are enrolled among the mail pupils of the de- partment. In Northern Ontario, the schools are on wheels. The railway school car service carries educa- tion to scores o{ small communi- tlee along the railway lines. | A survey by the Canadian Press ; showed Nova Scotia with the re- | cord for the greatest use of the radio among Canadian provinces with Saskatchewan second. For more than a decade, Nova Scotia's department of education ttaa put offlt a general program to schools on diversified subjects. All radio-equipped schools tune in to these lessons. When the school is not radio-equipped, the stodents go to homes with radios aad get school attendance- credits. A soil survey of more than 100,- 000,000 acres in connection with the work of Prairie Farm Rehabi- Ntation has so far been completed in the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and .Alberta. British School Girls, Touring Canatia, Must Remain Here Honicb aic ueing sought tor a group of British school girls who were touring Canada when war broke out. These girls will now remain in this country, it has been announced, and are at present being looked after by private schools in Toronto. Eiluned Carey-Evans, grand-daughter of Hon. David Lloyd George, CENTRE, is among the group of girls forced to remain in Canada. o NTARIO UTDOORS By VIC BAKER Danzig Status Often Changed Less than an hour's run fronj Kingston is the little village of Battersea, lying on Loughboro Lake, in the vicinity of which there is some of the best bass and trout fishing in the whole of On- tario. Lake Loughboro is about 20 miles in length and from half a mile to a mile in breadth. It is studded with islands and the open- ing of new vistas through chan- nels between the islands as your motor boat skips along to the fish- ing grounds is a constant delight. The water is as clear as crystal and a portage of three-quarters of a mile brings you to Bock Lake, while a drive from the hotel of a mile brings you to Dog Lake. Fishing with a copper line for deep-lying trout will give you fine, cold, six to ten pound lake trout. If you prefer casting for large- mouth and smallmouth black bass, you can get your fill of them in Dog Lake. It is not difficult to catch all the law allows, but to capture a fine fish on a light rod and have all the sport of it is enough for a decent angler. At Gracefield, about 60 miles north of Ottawa, a camp is situ- ated about 12 miles from the town itself, supplying guides, equipment and cabin accommodation. While guests are limited to 50, the rates are reasonably low and the terri- tory for the use of guests covers more than 70 square miles. Close to the lodge is Whitefish Lake which has produced some of the biggest bass taken this year in the Gatineau District. Other lakes and streams, while less frequented, also produce pickerel, great nor- thern pike and some lake trout. May your fall fishing trip be a great success! By Albert Forster's proclama- tion, Danzig was switched Sept. 1 for the third time in its history to German rule. The city was founded by Ger- mans at the beginning of the 13th century. Until 1308 the city was under the sovereignty of Polish Pomeran- ian dukes. Then for more than 200 years, 1308-1454, it was German- ruled, by Teutonic knights. For more than 300 years, with- out losing its sovereignty, the city was associated in a personal un- ion with the kings of Poland, from 1453 to 1793. But in the latter part of the 18th centiiry, Poland was partitioned among Germany, Russia and Aus- tria-Hungary, and Danzig became a part of Prussia. This status last- ed hut 14 yrars. Under PoliEli, French, German Rule In 1807 Danzig became a free city, under French rule. Seven years later, in 1814, with the be- ginning of the collapse of Na- poleon, Danzig returned to Prus- sia and thus remained until the Treaty of Versailles at the end of the World War established it as a free city again. Now it is German again â€" by proclamation of Forster and its ac- ceptance by Hitler â€" after 18 years, nine months and 15 days. The city was proclaimed free under the League of Nations on November 15, 1920. The city is more than 90 per cent Gernian-populate<i, a fact ad- mitted by Poles. However it is sit- uated at the mouth of the Vis- tula River which taps the heart of Poland and has depended upon Polish trade. Poles have declared the city was the "lung " of Po- VOICE o( the PRESS NO. 1 OSTRICH An optimist is a man who thought there could be no world war if only Europe could learn all about that undefended frontier between Canada and the United States.â€" Toronfo Star.

HOW TO AVOID TRAPS A new scheme has been worked cut to defeat the speed traps said to exist in various municipalities. The idea is to keep within the speed limit and laugh at the trap. â€" Toronto Globe and Mail. THE HANDS SET BACK It is being said once more that the war now being fought will "ruin civilization." War itself is uncivilized, but its presence in the â- world even on a large scale will not wreck civilization. It will not stop the clock of human progress; It will simply set back the hands. MISUNDERSTOOD The editor of a Kansas paper aays he picked up a Winchester rifle one day recently and started up the street to return it to its owner. The relinquent subscrib- ers got it into their heads he was on the warpath and a number of them he met insisted on paying him what they owed him. On his return to the office he found a load of hay, 15 bushels of corn, ten bushels of potatoes, a load of â- wood and a barrel of turnips had been brought in. â€" Walkerton Herald and Times. Value of Surgery In Farthest North Bishop of Arctic Says the Nat- ives Are Needing a Great Deal of Dental Work Done Rt. Rev. A. L. Fleming, Bishop of the Arctic just back from Akla- vlk, last week, described work of the modern hospital and surgery being carried on by the Church of EJngland in Canada at Aklavik, well within the Arctic Circle. Bishop Fleming was particularly enthusiastic about the recently-in- stalled dental surgery â€" only one In the Arctic â€" and most norther- ly cathedral In the world. White Man's Food Harms Them "The natives have trouble with their teeth when they eat white man's food," Bishop Fleming said. "We are trying to educate them to come and have their teeth loolied at periodically." Bishop Fleming said the X-ray machine was a great benefit to the northern workers. He mentioned a husky Indian trapper who was found to have two pieces of shrap- nel in his leg. He was wounded during the war and the shrapnel caused pains up and down his legs. The X-ray located the fragments and they were removed by opera- tion.

Sam Constable (nearing sixty but sound as a dollar, except for a touch of malaria) is found dead at Fourways, near Grovetop, Surrey, with signs of malicious mental in- fluence having been exerted over him. Man to watch is Herman Pen- nik, a psychic expert who says: "Notes in sound can shatter glass or even kill a man. The same, nat- urally, applies to thought." Nina Constable, the widow, has written a detective tale, including a new kind of poison, and she has a scrap book called "New Ways of Commit- ting Murder." Terror stalks at Fourways when another character expires. Inspector Humphrey Mast- ers does all an ordinary sleuth can do; then who should arrive but Sir Henry Merrivale, Mr. Dickson's grumpy but lovabie and almost miraculously gifted deducer â€" what he does with two related clues would put most great think- ers to shame.
