Vivien Leigh and Laurence' Oliver, in "THAT HAMILTON WOMAN" DEEDS, NOT LETTERS, NEEDED : _ IN CANADA « (Financial Post) Warning by Prime Minister Church- Trin tie Hous of Coniinons that the invasion season is at hand and--that; all Britain's armed forces have been instructed té be.at concert pitch by September 1st and to maintain the utmost vigilance cones at a time when 'many, people had deluded themselves into thie idea that the war was all over bar the shouting. Too many. there were who are ready to believe the un- expected _stiff opposition of the Rus- sians will so weaken the Nazis that they will give up all idea of invading Britain and resort to digging in until duch times as a war-weary world might consider a "Peace with honor" to the Germans. Others there are _who-feel sure the United States will enter the war and the Nazis call a halt to hostilities and try to save what they can of their ill-gotten gains or at --least-hang_on to what they had be- fore starting their 'march "of conquest: That there art many people of this description is clearly evidenced by re- cent happenings, No- matter how much workmen desire' an increase in pay, they wauld not have resorted to a strike tying up important war in- dustries if they felt sure their very home land was endangered - as _ it would be if ever the Germans con- _quered Britain, No matter" how anx- - jops gertajn thoughtless people are to continye on their joy-riding ways, they will hestitate ahout ysing more gasoline and oil than is absolutely -- necessary if they are are convinced that i "a saying is necessary in order to win the war. -- And now it is wondered whether the "y" campaign is serving the purpose intended, that is in Canada and other places away from the German-oe- cupied zones, Here in Canada for instance, many are interpreting this «yn campaign as an indication that victory is all but-wan, It was original ly intended as a stimulant for people in the German;oceupied countries who are in samp in with Britain and her "Allies, and appears to have accom- plished something worth while along those lines. But it has had an altogether dif- ferent effect on many people in Can- : ada, With victory in sight, it appears to have been argued why worry any 'more, why bother about cutting down the consumption of oil and gasoling, "speculate whether = armament building is held up far a while 7--vie- tory is ip sight and a little less gasa- line and ai] or armaments will really mean nothing in_ the long run. That * appears to have been the argument adopted by many, for-that is the anly explanatipn of the more or less dis- interested, unpatylotic and selfish at- . titude of many people in Canada, 80 that Prime Minister Churchill's warning comes at the right time, at least -it is hoped it will be regarded as a warning by those who still ap- pear unable to get it into their heads that Britain,"Canada, the British Em- pire, in fact the world, is at war, and danger now than ever before in the history of our egonntry. Should Germany. dispose of Russia--and she can stil] do jt--she will naturally proceed with her long- : threatened Invasion o of Britain. Should German blitzrieg methods fail and she is forced to bog down .for a time, she might try a surprise invasion of the tight little isle, realizing as she must that no matter what other countries she conquers she can never win this war unless she invades and conquers «| Britain, / RE. a ooh HIS, SABOT ly When the worker in a Dutch wind mill got peeved at his boss, he yanked off his wooden shoe -(his sabot) and threw it into" "thie" works".

WEST Tommie . Ontario "Township School | : Boards ~ (Canadian- Statesman) -- East Garafraxa, a township in Duf- ferin County, has set a worthy ex- ample for the reg of the Province. The Township Council has passed a by-law abolishing the eleven School "Prustee Boards in the 'municipality and replacing them with a single board, The hylaw was passed with- out a vote of the people which dis- played a courage and a type of leader- ship so. lacking in Governmental af- fairs today. It is a move in the right direction. We read 'somewhere re- cently that there was no less than 11,000 governing bodies in the Do- minion of Canada, including federal and provincial governments, county, town and village councils, and: school boards. That's a lot of government for 11,000,000 people. Some years ago we strongly urged the gonsolidation of rural school dis- tricts, but" this 'move of Garafraxa Township goes one better. Not only 'has it closed five of its eleven schoals, but it has now come out for a single board tq 'govern ail the schools jn the township. The plan has a great deal to commend it, and what is more it lias the approval of the Ontario De- partment of Education. to settle the question of the appalling inequality of teachers' salaries, and it will tend likewise to close out schoals attended by only a few pupils. The cost of education has grown enormous- ly in recent years, and the principal reason has been the tremendous num- ber of schools in operation. There is na reason. .why we cannat get back a bit, of the pioneer spirit of sixty ox, deventy-five years ago when, children had to, travel same distanco AY [[sisted--by--Rev.--I hymn "They Way Not Mine vy Loyd" The feathery and Teinlike leaves of HHrviends It will tend |__ to school. It could hardly be a wait d Ship "today with the means of trans- portation at the disposal of practical ly every farmer. Most townships of Darlington's size for instance could do with half the schools they now haves True it may mean that a few children will have to travel five miles to school but what is five niles in these days of modern transportation?" Up near Ac- ton, a school quite near the town was closed and its half dozen pupils are motored into town each: day. The school section pays for the transporta. tion and also the fees for schogl at- tendarnce in Acton." 'At that the rate- bayers save quite a bit, and we under- nd that the entire cost id less than 4 he salary. formerly. paid a. teacher. It means that the pupils have the ob- vious advantage of. an urban school, and the ratepayers save on the upkeep of a school building, its heating and all the other incidental expenses, . Other townships might well investi- |, gate the East "Garafraxa plan, and see if similar savings to the taxpayers could not be accomplished by the con- solidation of school. sections, and the cutting down of the number ot | trus- tee boards, FT N - * OBITUARY MRS.
