en ------ Mr. Churchill's Victory Creed Prime Minister Churchill re- cently told the boys of Harrow, his old school, that "the lesson , to be derived from recent experi. ences is never to give in--never, never, never," "Not in any event great or small, large or paltry; never, never yield except to conviction and good sense," he said, "Never yield to force, never yield to the growing and apparently over. wheining might of the enemy." Recalling" his last visit to the sehool "10 months ago, the Prime Minster said - Britain then was standing alone, ." "We were poorly armed' but we are not so poorly armed to-day," he raid. "We stood alone and to many countries it seemed our ac- count, was closed and our history finished, liquidated, * "Lut our .country stood in the gap. There was no flinching, By . what seemed. almost a miracle out- side 'these Islands we. now find ourselves in a position where we can be sure of victory, if we only persevere." Western Canada Into The Breach The manner in which Western Canada , steps into the breach when the call comes is indicated in the figures for hog slaughter- Jdngs in the Dominion. With the war came the demand for more hogs to provide bacon for em- _ battled Britain. Up to that time " Western Canada was lagging be- hind. the 'East in hog production. We were taunted with being one- croppers, and that wheat was a disease with us: In the year ended Sivas: 1940, Western Canada produced 2,210, 000 - hogs for slaughter, - while the East produced 2,559,- 000. But in the year ended Sep- tember, 1941, the West produced 8,286,000, while the East pro- duced only 2,939,000. The West + increased production by 46 per- "cent., while the East increased by only 14 per cent, . Whether it's wheat or hogs, cattle or sheep, the West will do the job when the market shows . #t needs the production. --Lethbridge Herald. The Halifax Patrol At dawn, ot Jus dusk, through the hours of light and- dark .that lie between, in fog and fair weather, since the war began, "planes have soared from Canada's coastal bases out over the Atlantic--the Lonely Patrols. From their have not returned. Sable Island knows the fate of five men. As that waste land 'has clasped in sen-hidden arms the hulks of a hundred vessels," so she reached upward to claim ransom from her skies. The slender radio 4pire 'which warned ships from her thoals planged a 'plane to earth. Somewhere, perhaps in the open sea amid the wreckage of a second machine, four others of the Royal Canadian Air Force may survive. Perhaps they, too, have perished . . , Those men who died had seen hard and exacting duty, the more: difficult because of the monotony of wide waters. They: were on active service. Their eyes- sought = out the nation's enemies above and below and on the seas. To- day their earthly sight is forever "gone--the Price of the Patrol. Canada is proud of their high courage, grateful for their ice, and i sacrifice. . "Four Mil ionth Air Passenger While the fact finding enquiry into the American Airlines crash 15 miles west of St. Thomas was in progress, recently, the company was carrying its-4,000,000th pas- senger, Ray Vir Den, executive vice-president of Lennen and Mitchell, an advertising agency in New York City. As the '4,000,- 000th passenger, Mr. Vir Den tra- velled from New ork to Chicaga, The record is gaid to be the- first ~of the-kind to be .made in the world, The American Airlines is the largest system in the world in passenger air travel. Its busiest * route is between New York and Boston with 48 trips in the daily service schedule, On occasions, in order to handle passenger busi: "ness in this route, as many as tén sections have hid to oe utilized in , one regular flight, ~~ "qr For Quick ..

Dewan, Provincial Minister of Agricul- ture, at Sault Ste. Marie, when he. urged on them the necessity of increasing cereal production next year, says the Windsor Star. They have had an object: lesson this year of what it means to be short of feed for livestock at a time when the production of ani- mals must be incredsed. The feed situation is being solved just now, but only through extraordinary = measures which - have been taken by the Dominion, in the way of assisting in the _ payment of transportation costs "from the West. This is an expen- : sive system. It is far better to have the fodder available,on the ground, and. only by taking thought now can the farmers have assurance of adequate supplies when they are needed next year. Wha Science, Is Doing HAIRS LOOK LIKE TREE TRUNKS Imagine a human halr magnified 80 that it'lqoks like a tree trunk, or a cricket ball enlarged so that its diameter appears to be four and wn halt miles! These are the "latest miracles of science. An or- dinary microscope -- that Is one that uses ordinary light -- can be made to magnify 2,000 times. That" is its limit; but sclence, wanting to go further, which uses ultra violet light rays which are invisible to the human eye but not to the lens of the cam- era, With this photographs were obtained 5,000 times life size. Not~ content with this, Dr. Zworykin and other specialists of New York have constructed an el- ectron microscope usihg rays so ot that objects are magnified. "to 30,000 diameters, Photo- pr enlargements have increas. ed these up to something like 200, 000 diameters. DANDELION RUBBER While touring the Tien-Shan Moujitains In 1931, a young Soviet student, named Bukhanovich, and __a-farmer, Spivachenko, found at an' altitude of over 6,000 feet above sea "level a variety of dandelion, now known as the kok-sagyz, which proved to be 'a rubber-making « Plant. Seeds of the dandelion have since been disseminated all over the Soviet Union. In 1940 an area was planted ten times as large as in 1937, and thousands of 'acres were to be added this year, A com. "mercial crop of Brazilian hevea can be gathered only 4n the fifth year after planting, but kok-sagyz can be utilized as. caoutchouc in the first year.

'Nursing Sisters: For Sailor Boys ; Retaiishment of a Nursing Service: In the Royal Can- adian Navy 3.3 A navy spokesman described the new service as an offshoot from the army nursing service whlch formerly looked after navy needs.

For reasons well. appreciated, particularly by the enemy, our succésses against _ the U-boats are rargly published. ""It is possible to announce, however, that a total of 1,276 of- ficers and men have been rescued from sunken enemy U-boats and are held prisoners of war. Of these 467 are Italians. "The relationship between the magnitude of the enemy claims and his own lack of success was illustrated recently when the Ger- man high command claimed to have sunk 14 ships totalling 47,- 000 tons from a convoy homeward bound from Gibraltar. In fact four ships totalling 8,772 tons were sunk. This was only achiev- ed by the enemy at a cost to him- self.
