The New Yorker magazine has a contributor who recognized one of the men as an Englishman, and joined the party. The others were also English, and one of them re- macked to the American: "Guess what we were doing last night?" The American tried to guess without 'success. "Bombing Ber- lin" was the laconic reply. It was true. Returning to Lon- don from a Berlin raid, these fliers were told they were going to New York, and thus hustled on a plane for Newfoundland. Arriving at Newfoundland some hours later, they boarded a plane which took them to New York, and having arrived in the evening they were in a New York night club twenty-four hours after bombing Berlin. y 'Total of 1,661 In Death Total .

Reports that some 55,000 men in Canada are still engaged in this industry stress the Importance, which has grown even greater since the war began, of this source of food, Hero is a field in which we excel.

GOOD- NEIGHBORS ) It is in the rural districts that one appreciates the value of good neighbors, The family "next door" may live a mile away but the rural dweller knows that they stand ready to lend a helping.hand In any emergency. They will be there to comfort one in bereavement, to lend kindly aid in the sick-room, to lend a willing hand at the sew: ing bee or the harvest, 'One may not liave many friends or. neigh- 'bors in thé country, but they are tried and true. The happiest mo- ments of farm life are those spent the next farm or the next conces- sion. A farmer once explained his hilosophy of life: "I have always Ived in the country, I have a good farm, a contented wife and good neighbor. My nolghborg are my best friends. I know that 'when I am in need they will help me, They have stood by me in the bast, and I have stood by them, I still have neighbors; will still have plenty. =~Stirling News-Argus.

Russia faces the great. est gathering of savage power the world has ever known.

There is a strong * determination that cannot . be_ trampled down, an army of men united under one hanner with ability to defend themsdlves and conquer thelr eénemies. We have before us the spectacle of splendid sacrifice, homes blasted, 'hearth: stones torn up, farms -devastated. We will forego food from abroad it the ships are nceded for Russia. - Bhadows we will endure with them and sunshine we will share with them, * Blalin must be sustained. The Soviet Unfon must abled to enter the spring cam- paign with adequate supplies of all munitions of war, ovet every. thing, tanks, anti-tank guns, ale craft and anti-aircraft guns. These are the promises we made to Stalin in Moscow in your name. These are the pledges that we shall carry out!" So epoke Lord Beaverbrook in roporting on the recent Anglo: American -ald-to-Russia mission in Moscow. > Thrust On Moscow Last week Moscow was the goal of the heaviest assault of the 16: weeks-old Russo-German war. What Adolf Hitler had proclaimed as "an operation of gigantic pro- portions" was hammering colossal blows' at the capital's defenses of men, machines and fortifications. In a campaign' described as the "mightiest battle in history," some men were locked in oa sanguinary conflict along a 2,000- 'mile front in a drive on Moscow. On_the approaches to the capital 3,000,000 Germans were said to be be en- pitted TagaigEt a slightly less nume- erous army of defenders. Over an terrain of forest and plain, muddied by rain and snow, through gutted towns and villages, swept the Inferno of mechanized war. = a Stakes of War The stakes were high, In a "sec- rel" order to his troops just be: fore. -the Moscow attack was launched on Oct, 8, the Fuehrer had called for "a last mighty blow * that shall crush this opponent be- fore Winter gets in." In these words observers say a desperate gamble by the German High Com- mand for a decisive victory before weather and deep- snows bogged down operations on the Russian front. The main ele- ments of such a victory, it seemed clear, would be: (1) destruction of the Russian force before Mos: cow, which Berlin communiques -- described as the "last" organized unit of the Red Army; and (2) cap- ture-of the capital Itsgif; such a success, it was hoped, would un- dermine Russian morale and secure Nazi control over the hub of Sov- fet governmental machinery.

Defeat of the armies of Joseph Stalin would free Hitler for a full military drive against Britain in the West. Seiz?® ure of Soviet resources would give the Reich the materials to beat the British blockade and keep ahead of the Anglo-American armament éffort. On: the other hand, a Nizi tallure, might mark the war's turn. Ing point, toward ultimate German exhaustion and defeat, Advances Recently Halted When, the German armies hurled onward into Russia last June the hardest ghrust was almed at Mos: cow. . Smolensk, {he , traditional gatoway to the Russian capital through which Napoleon's soldiers passed in 1812, fell in early Aug ust. Bomewhere beyond that bomb: blasted, burned city--roughly 300 miles from the German frontier and still 200 miles from Moscow --- the blitz was blunted. Strong Rus: " ed back the Panzer forward units, The Germans increased the pressure on the north and south flanks of the battleground. A sweep up the Baltic shore was directed at Leningrad, the Soviet's second city, its foremost Baltic port, a vital shipbuilding and factory cen- ter. The advance was -halted last month by fierce resistance on the city's outskirts, a resistance re- ported last week to be pushing back the Nazi "besiegers." o 'Most impressive of Nazl gains ern wing, In tho Ukraine, the rich ~ farming, mining and Industrial region publicly coveted by Hitler, Having taken Kiev, the Soviets third largest city, having overrun the land west of the Dnieper 'and penetrated to the Crimea and the threshold of the Donets basin, Nazi forces In the Ukraine appear- ed to he polsed for a further move toward tho strategic city of Khar kov. and the Caucasian oil. fields. Action _in this vital sector was toward Moscow. A People's War That battle along the highway to Moscow is one of the most am- azing conflicts of history. The Ger man soldiers--youths who have |, been trained to the_fine edge of athletes -- are sacrificing them- gelves with that courage which al- ways has characterized the race. The perfection of the invading - war-machine is amazing, Even more amazing is the fact that {t= can be stopped, And the | manner of its present holling 1s an epic, for we find civilians now fighting side by side with their soldiers In defense of country ar | the soil they love. The Germans assert that the Russian war is virtnally over----that may. be, Indeed, that: thes Musco- 'vites have been so weak®ed that they are on the verge of collapse. Only time will demonstrate that. 1t is not believed, however, that the Reds are beaten. They are ex- pected to suffer further reverses. Moscow may fall, and the whole Russian line may be driven back even behind the mighty defenses of the Ural Mountain chain. But the only thing that might knock them clear out of the war, 18 a collapse of morale. It would be difficult to find any signs of weakening morale in a Red-fight- ing front in which ecivillans-- humble folk who know nothing of the part of war and never have been far from the little farms where they were born--are facing onslaughts which are hard oven for the professional soldier to face. ~~ Russia Draws On Reserve The Russians report they are drawing on their great reserve in man:pover to ease the position on the central front. These troops cannot be expected to have the weight of the fully trafned vet. erans already "in the line, but they, will énse the Red situation con' siderably, . ~ There are milllons more where they come from, as the Soviet re cently called up the military class of 1022--ninetéen year olds--for military service.

This doesn't sound as though the Russians werg finished. As a mat. ter of fact the Germans themselves appear to have doults since an authoritative source in Berlin re- cently acknowledged that the 'Reds might be able to set up new forces during the winter, That would mean a two-front war for Hitler. It is important not to overlook the Japanese. They are watching the German progress intently.
