-PAGE TWO THE CANDIAN ST'rESMAN BOWMANTLLUp WaA£ rUmnTUSA.JUYlTL14 y j GEO. W. JAMES, Editor. THURSDAY, JULY IOTH, 1941 Another Recruiting Stunt There rattied into tewn the other day, "«A Special Cannier" riding in the side car of a motorcycle. Rie ieaped from the machine, rushed up the Town Hall steps and handed ta an expectant Mayor, a sgroii which, when nnfolded, turned out to be a Proclamation. a "cail ta arms" which the Mayor was requested te read tothe assenibied multitude and which said, in part: " Now be it known. . there is urgent need for stout-hearted and able-bodied men ta volunteer for active ser- vice in the Canadian Army. ." etc. This sort of hare-brained bunk, s0 we are infarm- cd, was perpctrated ail through Ontario and we suppose, get the same horse-iaugh. Daily papers received and pninted the ad- vance news of this but not so the weeklies, s0 the smaler towns didn't know what it was al about. The assembled multitude in Bowmanvilie eonsisted of a few aid folks and a few curious youngsters. The Mayor phon- ed his protest before the "«Courier" lcft Peterbora, but he went through with the cercmony which was more like a funeral. Net a prospective recruit was in sight to see and hear this "secret" and confidentiai" mes- sage presented and read and flot a single soidier from this district wiil bc reeruited under this "stunt." Another "stunt " was the " symbolie " Vie- tory torch that Pension 's Minister Mackenzie "flew" overseas and handed taolhurchill, and yet another, the " storming " of Teronto. Those of us who remember aur Ancient His- tory wil ecali "the auspices" when the bowels cf chickens were examined and the crazy superstitions that prevailed ithose days. Many dlaim we are drifting back, un- der this regime, to the siilincss of symbolisut Ohurchili must have chrickied (setto) when he took thetôreh, but the bet is that he turn- ed at once- te more serions pursuits. He is like that. EIeIp the Farmers There is a news item in aur "locals" this weck which states tha t a member ef the Lions Club and a member of Thé Statesman staff went ont F"iday and donated a day 's hard labor pitching and hauiing hay te help out a farm lady who feund it impassible te get help. The hay wias above the average and a valuable crop and it wias put iuta the barn in prime condition. Iu vicrivof present con- ditions, this hay is werth areund $15.00 per tonr. Witheut help it may have 1cmn in the field indetinitely and finaily would bc useful only as bedding.. Friends of the uewshawk clairned ta have an ambulance ready te haul him home, but he net only put in a full day; he played a game of bail in the cvening. There are two thîngs in this connection we should bring eut for the benefit of two- handed, able-bodied, epen-hearted citizens cf this tewn. t riill be remembered that The Stetesman has advocated using helidays and the Wednesday hait-holiday for tewnspeaplc ta get out and help fermera who are des- perately short of help. In tact we suggested ciosing ail day Weduesday ton that purpase but didn 't get a peep ont cf auybody. t is strictly a wamtime proposai and there is fia tiner kind et service; but people seem in- rclincd te forget the rivr and induige their leisure. pleasure anrd somnolent complac- ency. Their work is net liard wiork and al this half-holiday indulgence is utter non- sense.

Hit- ler would begin to attempt to cross the bridge, from Norway via the Faroe Islan~ds, Iceland, Greenland, and Newfoundland ta Canada,, "tomorrow were it flot for the con- tinued might of British power on land and sea and in the air." This was part of the staiupede tactics to get the fuit compiement of 32,000 men nowv a month overdue. How a single battie shîp could prepare that "bridge" single handed is semething that oniy the intoxicating scenery of British Columbia could conjure- up. If such be the case, the next logicai thing for Mr. King to do would be to inspect this mythicai bridge from an airpiane on the way to report and confer with Mr. Churchill. 4Accerding to the officiai government passport" 'bookIet, we have about 80,000 troeps overseas out of a total of some 450,- 000 enroiied or in prospect of enreilment and training. From the abeve warning and be- cause of the announcement that we have something beyond 300.000 troops i Canada, it looks as if we shoid resign ourseives te inevitable invasion of our home ground&, rather than send the whole 450,000 overseas with another 600,000 to foflow and settie Hitier 's hash ever there. But, aias, we must remember that a promise can 't be broken: "No conscription for overseas." What a war! !
