take a couple of jumps so he wont fet cold fee if the time ever come when hell have to bail out but the general attitude of trainees is why waste time practicing something you have to do per fectly the first time that tarement speak for itself for para- troops there can be no comforting slogan if at first you dont succeed weve watched men bail out at different times and always with the same possible sen sation at the pit of your stomach for the second or two when the human body ii hurtling down through space with nothing to check it till the parachute open we often wondered how the man himself must feel there is what one paratrooper has to soy of his first jump the pilot shouted oknyjump thi was the moment id been dreaming about for weeks i felt an urge to turn and say whats lhot i didnt quite catch it but i jumped into a battering tornado as the chute opened sledgehammer blows collapsed my lungs made black spots dance before my eyes i w still fighting for brcalh when the universe came gradually into focus now i could see the plane hurt ling on ahead of mc everything seemed strangely peaceful silent motionless i looked up saw the silk lowing of the sun that chute seemed mighty friendly when i was about fifty feet off the ground the earth eemed to leap savagely at my feet grabbing my line i braced myself and woited the jolt bowled me off my feet and i rolled head over heels the ambulance raced up as i struggled out of my harness and the driver inspected me rather expect antly i thought then lie grinned no business to day i shook my head men arc be picked from every branch of the canadian army for paratroopcrn and they must be tops in mental and physicinl agility with perfect coordination of m ind and muscles the age time is thirty but most of the canadians picked are around twentyfour wc can be proud of our boys who arc receiving training right now for the exacting work of soldiers of the air more serious this year universities opened their doors again on tues day and this year college life will be different from that of other years young men and women of college age ore old enough to be influenced by a world at war and prob ably there are very few upon whose lives the war has not already had some effect therejl be no frills and furbelows to campus life this year energy which was formerly expended on teas and dances will now be dir ected into red cross work and war charities and ath letic activities will be replaced to a great degree by military training weve noticed n difference in the ad vertising splurge which toronto stores usually indulged in nt this lime of year to make the whole country campusconscious this year instead of urging slur nls to buy recklessly they advise that fewer nrti- cles he bought and even list ways in which these can be coivrvrd and this is us it should be even during the btrvs- ol war out educational standards must not be lowi red but in th- process of being educated our young people realize they must help in every poiihlr way the wai effort of the country which makes such on education possible a word of caution its ideal bicycling weather this factor combined with car economy seems to have brought forth a bumper crop of cyclists these days and bicycles can be extremely treacherous things though if traffic tiles and common sense are not applied in their hund- bng and we live near a busy corner and have seen a sreal many nearaccidents most of these in cases where two nre riding the one bicycle or when as many as three ride abreast enjoying a social chat as tjtey pedal along a
