Recalls Feats Of 252 Airmen Saved Britain From Invaslon Two Years Ago Firgrra The little people of London re- cently remembered that "greatest day" two years ago when a small band of désperate R.AF. fighter pilots--awmong them a handful ot Canadlans--swept clear the skies over London and turned the tide "in the battle of Britain to thelr favor, , They saved Britain from * In- ~vasion but no one knew it then. tain's "aerial Trafalgar" found the ends of the offensive reversed, with the great naval base of Wil. helmshaten smoking and strewn with wreckage from bombing by a strong RAF-R.CAN. force and British skies cleared of Naz planes. Willhielmshaven was the first place attacked by the R.AF. In this war, On Sept. 4, 1939, the day after tho declaration, a comparatively small force carried out the initial: raid In daylight with heavy losses. In all, the RAF. has raided Wilhelmshaven 68 times at night, the last previous attack having been Aug. 7. Just two years ago, on Sept. 15, 1940, the R.A.F, although lack- ing plane reserves, combined with anti-aircraft gunners to knock and convince the Germans that thelr allout daylight attacks could not be maintained. The R.AF.s part in that clim. aclic turn in the battle of Britain was later saluted by Prime Min- ister Churchill: "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to sp)few." The great: + of Britain was RAF. mess day in the battle toasted in every were tribute was" ~ paid. to. 252 RAK, fighter pilots --*"the -few" of tho 190--who worked without relief and did the job that day, losing only 25 planes and 11 pilots. The Times compared the victory of two years ago to the naval victory over the French and Span- ish fleets in 1805 by Nelson at Trafalgar. "It is apparent that the three- months' battle in which this was the outstanding episode ended fin, a stratezie vietory of the same . order as Trafalgar", it said. "Tra- falgar did. not end a war, but it decided that the British Isles, cut off from allies and with military strength far inferior. to the en.' emy's, would not be (invaded. The - Germans are still ralding Britain, as shown by the official report of 403 persons killed in August, but the attacks are of the hitakip variety in contrast to the emashings of 1910, Instead of being an isle in im. minent danger of invasion, 'Bri- tain today is an offensive base of steadily increasing power as typl. fied by the overnight attack on Wilhelmshaven. The few who turned back the -Nazi hordes are all split up. Many aces whose names made history during those Autumn months two years ago no longer are on flying 'operations. Some died. Some were taken prisoner. Others have been removed by promotion from the fighter cockpits and still others are instructors. : Those who remain see scores of new comrades about them---pilots who are worthy heirs to the fame of these who routed the enemy from British skies. The torch has been passed on to them. The Self-Effacing British Dispatches from Egypt the "other day told of a raid by Ger-_ mans against 'a West Yorkshire unit. The Germans were repelled with the aid of an Essex outfit. David N. Nichol has been permit. ted to tell' us from London that the 2nd West Yorkshire, 1st Essex, and 1st Worcester battalions and B squadron of the Royal Tank Regiment are units of the bth In- dian Division. We have heard quite a lot about the 6th Indian Divigion in Egypt "and Libya, but had supposed that jt came "from India, We heard quite a lot about the Australians, New Zealanders; South Africans and various other "Imperial" forces, but it came as something of a surprise to learn that two thirds of the 8th Army was Brit- ish, ' We have never believed the theory that the British were get- ting somedne-else to fight their war, for we knew that at least the Navy and the Royal Air Force were predominantly British. But the British, in their generosity in giving credit to colonial troops, and -their modesty in mentioning «their own, have given opportunity for the Fifth Column canard that the islanders wouldn't fight, Of course Hitler knows better, i 'tried the British out on their home grounds in 1940, After that he thought .even the Russians would not be quite so tough, He ; has been disillusioned on that ~~ peore, too. £ This second anniversary of Brie , down at least 185 hostile planes WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING PLYWOOD Plywood has been on the market some time but only now is ready to go places, Laurence Stern writes in the Magazine of Wall Street. It's just two sheets of wood glued together, with the grain of. one running opposite to the grain of the other. Up to that point, it was just modified lumber. Chief merit: it wouldn't pull or warp and had much great- er structural strength than lumber of equal thickness, Disadvantage: "could be used only for interiors, as the glue would not stand up under the weather. Today's plywood will "stay put" in any weather because a synthetic resin 'has replaced glue as the binder. But what will really car- ry this "lumber smidwich" to town --is development 6f a very recent process by which, under steam in a pressure mold, plywood is "cooked" into any curved form desired and at the same time its strength and durability are huge- ly increased. : Thus transformed, its possible practical uses--many of them di- rectly competitive with metals-- are almost limitless, It's light- weight, actually stronger than most metals of similar thickness, so dense that you would dull the edge of an axe trying to crack it, non-corrosive, waterproof, al- most fireproof, non-conductive of heat and cold, it won't splinter, it does not "fatigue" under con--- stant vibration as does metal, and it won't soften or anneal in high ranges of temperature. In short, here is a brand new answer to a designer's dream -- for anything from a bathtub to a bus body, from a speed boat to a typewriter frame, from a refrig- erator cabinet to the fuselage and wings of an airplane. Refused To Distribute Ballots The United States War and Navy Departnients refused to de- liver "war ballots" to New York voters overseas, declaring the- job "would manifestly interfere with the war effort." - The War Ballot Commission an. nounced receipt of similar letters from War Secretary Henry : L. Stimson and the Navy Department rojecting a commission proposal that military authorities transport and distribute approximately 150, 000 special ballots abroad. "While entirely sympathetic to the principle of soldiers voting at any election in which they are oligible", Stimson wrote, "the War Department cannot take measures which In its opinion would Inter. fere with the - primary functions of the military service."

Modern Etiquette 1. Should a person avoid using slang in conversation? 2. Isn't it all right to send out . handwritten wedding invitations? 8. When a single man is In- vited for dinner to the home of married friends, should he take the hostess a box of candy or flowers? 4. When a woman is standing talking with a man and drops some article, should she say, "I'll get it"? 6. When a hostess wishes to give a cocktail party and has no maid, how should she proceed? 6. When passing a salt or a pepper shaker should one place It on the table or hand it directly to the person who asked for it? Answers 1. Yes. One should use as good English as he is capable. - The English language contains a larger vocabulary than any other "language in existence, and it Is really unnecessary fo intersperse every sentence with some slang expression, 2. Yes. Informal notes, written on one's personal stationery, are all right, but en- graved invitations and announce- ments are in better form. 3. This is a thoughtful thing to do, par- ticularly if the man is not in a position to return the invitation. 4. No. She should allow the man to pick it up for her. 5. She may ask one of the men guests to help her make the cocktails, or she may have all the necessary things on a tray or table, and have each guest mix his own. 6. It is less awkward to put it down on the table and let the person pick it up, than to hand .it directly to him, Ceiling Prices .Put On Honey Maximum wholesale and retail selling prices for extracted honey and for pasteurized and granu- lated honey have been fixed in an order issued by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board's Foods Administration, As in the case of the recent order setting maximum prices on - eggs, the primary object of this order is to maintain uniformity of supplies in. all sections of the . Dominion, the board said in a statement. It emphasized that maximum prices have been established and _-that normal=fluctuations-- below--|- this level are expected to con.' tinue. - The order provides that the price . of pasteurized granulated honey may exceed that specified" for extracted honey, by 1% cents a pound. : The retailer's maximum mark- up is limited to 20 per cent. of his selling price or three cents a pound whichever is lower, The production of light honey was down in Eastern Canada this year but in Western Canada the reduction was less 'pronounced. The use of light honey for in- dustrial purposes has been re- stricted by a previous order, HARNESS & COLLARS Farmers Attention -- Consult your nearest Harness Shop about Staco Harness Supplies.

Gilhooly Tells Of Irish Calm The following story was brought back from overseas by Captain Joseph P, Gilhooly, well-known "Ottawa member. of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. The locale of the story, which Captain Gilhooly swore was true, was the living room of a com- fortable Belfast home where the Ottawa doctor was visiting friends. The raid had reached a peak of fury . . . bombs were crumpling down on all sides . . . and the Luftwaffe with no opposition. was machine-gunning the house-tops. The hostess of the house had more than a usual amount of tea handy and was passing around the brew. % + "Do have another cup, Mary," she called to the maid over the din of bomb bursts, machine gun . chatter and the crash of rubble. . - "Oh, no, thank you, Mum, I'm sure it would keep me awake if I had two cups," replied Mary with a curtsy.

Immediately a small boy jump- ed up and said: "Please teacher, wo've had a collision at our house." "Whatever do you mean?" "Well mother just had twins." "At 20 you left the coun- try and came to the city. And for twenty-five years you've been working very hard. What for?" "To get money to. live im the country."
