the georgetown herald wednesday october 28 1942 c news parade bj o ueo what does winter hold the present woi hai made many change in our everyday life we dont do the thing we uted to do nor do we do the thins wc continue to do in the tame way right now we ate thinking of sports ever tince the war started sport has been o near casualty in georgetown baseball was the first sport to be dis posed of for the duration and now things loou rather gloomy for hockey this winter during the past two seasons hockey bus con tinued in town although under rather strained circuin- stances player were gradually becoming fewer as the boys donned the kings uniform until now even the socallcd old timers seem to be few and far between war plants have taken some and their spare time is limited by commuting and with gasoline rolioning be coming even more strict it looks as though hockey may also become a war casualty here we dont want to paint a picture from a pessi mistic point of view but we must five the facts players nie scarce have you any sug8etions at the hockey club banquet last friday night trie president of the club said thut he would leove it for the publicto decide at a genernl meeting whether we should attempt to organize this year or not some outside players are still available but transportation would be a big item should wc not have hockey this winter there would be many long and lonely evenings for a great number of dyedinthewool hockey fans in george town we suggest that you oltend the public meeting when called and bring along any suggestions you may have for the continuation of the sport in war time if oha hockey is not advisable maybe a town or rural loop could be formed lets get something underway there are long winter nights iihrnd nnd the boysover- seas would enjoy reading our hockey roundup why bring that up over the week end wc called on some friends who had built a new home for themselves it was a fine home all so new ond clean and handy wc inspected it from the cellar to the roof and of course compared it with our own but all the time we could not help but think of cousin cyrus letter to his nin folk cousin cyrus had struck hard luck in the years of depression ond at last had got employment prob ably in o war industry and writes cousin george to tell kim all about it cyrus nnd his four kids and their maw et slep and lived generally in a space about as large as the living room wc were entertained in and to move into n sixroomed house was something to write home about but for us to try and tell about his success and how they became accustomed to their new home would spoil an interesting letter so we will let cyrus take over here dear cousin ceorge wc got a house it has got six rooms in it one room we eat in another room we just kinda set in then theres another room where maw does nothing but cook in there arc two rooms be dont do nothing else but sleep in but the wash room is the one we all like most there s n look ing glass on the wall where you can see yourself under neath the glav is a big bowl where you wash your face and hands in when you get real dirty there s u big tub against the other wall where we wash ourselves all over theres another bowl that sets on the floor this had us fooled for n while but we got it figured out now its to wash our feet in the bowl had two lids on it when wc moved there but i took them off as they kept falling down on my feet the top lid maw is using for a dough board we framed paws picture with the other lid come nnd see us sometime cyrus nazi eyes on canada those who heard the last of a series nazi eyes on canada on sunday evening in a cbc broadcast with orson wells starring as the weekly newspaper editor could not help but realize what would happen to can ada should hitler uhd his gang be successful the pro gramme stressed the necessity of purchasing victory bonds so that our boys might have tools sufneent to tope with a ruthless enemy for his broadcast mr

heavens which did not bear thinking of and before ftulnff on x aide you to remember that remember it even when you see a flower or bear a bird as klpllna bald flower ye trample underfoot floods his heart abrim bird ye never heeded oh she calls his deadto him i the week before x left in that dead land inhere nothing brows but oourane x eaw a vlotory and a revenge the germans attacked whh their

and his lmth parachute div ision from crete and o whole italian urmoit d corpn utw rathorlns at ifmel- mit the armj uorked like a hill of anu nnd every new day was a train our hones rose terrible initiation the moon ripened and beenn to wane there was a tension now especially nmong the new troops woi tin for the terrible initiation evary night when we ucnt to sleep under the btaxn we expected to be wakened by the shook of battle and a world in eruption a mornlntr oame when x sot out of my bed roll and wrote in my dairy for the fourth time they dont attack but a few minuter later a friend came over from bruiade headquarters its starkd ho sold i sat on my bed roll and looked at the men waltlnff at their tanks and ffuiu and x ihouffht of the cause and of the stakes i thounht of them airaln on my first morning in canada when i sot up in bed having breakfast readlnff in the paper that flshtdns had started offuln in the desert with british troops and tanks attacjdnff in the munomlb de pression this is where rommel had attacked us he came through our minefields in the south on the edae of the qattara deprcjuuon this coun try ls the wasteland ob nothlna and here as the am rose that day british soldiers set themselves to fight to the lastli necessary and without withdraw al or surrender for fairer lands for the life of ithe army for ejgypt end the nile the enemy oame moneouverlng prob ing here and jabbing there and cautio us as a flue and ai you know hey were beaten bade x was itinera wttb a briuth infantry brigade and us guns tobruk moon lights attack i shall think of the terrible tank battler dunnr thaw days at sldl rczc- ith and el duda and of our twopo under- pun tanka raclnu in to ret into niruif of the enemy tanks with the bljt 75 mm tfuba and of the two compan ies of the ercx rcfiimcnt charirtnn the enemy in the moonlight at el duda and taking 440 ocrmon prbsoncrs that nlkht countrymen on my word x heard the oerman hqucul i ahall think of the day when the main enemy tank force chased home of iik back to ekypt wc raced from noon till dark in a runnlrur battle and torc of our vehicle were deatroyed as we ran an erujllnh cameramans vehicle was hit and he was bleeding when wc picked him up and he roared it maken you larff dont it when ut pot bock to the wire wc wore out off go we wpertt ten hours rotrui through 10 ml leu of ocrmon minefielda and then fought our way through the italian pos itions to get into the arnu of the fourth indian imvtslon at bldl omar i anall think of that day nov 25 there at bldl omar when i stood on top of a truck to watch a battery and a half of our guns over 400 yards away stop and mnaah a powerful force of oerman tanks trying to overrun our positions and of the thousand men who stood cheering as if at a game i thai i remember the time at oaxala when x joined the hrlgado which was the spearhead of our left flank and chased the oerman enemy 50 miles in a day including time off for two baluee and i ghnll think of the buffs who were wiped out there charged qun8 atone i shall remember the hour at s3 adem when the battalion was blinded with dust find smoke and blood and one little oookney charged tho oerman guns alone x shall think of the shambles of dcr na almrome and of going into bengasi men singing in tho dark it was tho and of the way we sang auld long syne that nights when we were think ing as x think now of etout hearts now dead or tn captivity x shall think of the terrible moon light retreat from bengasi or of the young lieutenant commanding a troop i just remember horror all around me and men who ncer knew the name of fear i thank thee lord that i am battle tented that i have tasted death and u11 am here i of howlurn in the delaying action at solium labt june the boy who said youd better go now how nice of you to come and sec us or of the night when we were cut off by the ger mans near mcrco matruh i shall think of the hour when ob seemed lost at alamcln and we heard men singing in the dark it was the australians coming up singing waltx- ing matilda and of the cool men of the destroyer kandahar now lost with whom i ran the gauntlet into and out of toburk and of the great general oott whom i last s aw at buqbuq tick at heart with the news that tobruk had fallen and walking up and down in the sand and chen saying you never win if you wait for your rceerves it is natural that i chould never for get the eighth army but neither sho uld anyone else from the point of view of the men british australians now zcalandcrs and the restno finer army ever marehed
