When she had discovered | the so- called working of the German 'mind, she broadcasted every Friday between March and September, 1942 over the C.B.S. to a friend in Germany whom she called "Hans". He was a Ger- man patriot but not a Nazi. Of course, in speaking to Hans she re- alized that the majority of the Ger- man population would be "listening in" _ and that was just what she wanted. In other words, Miss Thomp- son used her broadcasts as a means to spread propaganda. "Listen, Hans" is divided into two parts in the first of which Dorothy Thompson "invades" the German mind and in the second her talks with Hans are reproduced. The book is a summary of clear thinking about the war, not in terms of hatred and struggle, but it is an appeal to the reason-of all the peoples of the world by one who is using her influence on mankind to Pght Hit- beri n.

PLUS TAX FARM MECHANICS COURSES TO BE HELD DURING THE MONTH «< OF DECEMBER A series of two-day Farm Mecha- nics Courses will be conducted in On- tario County -during the months of December -and the early part of Janu- ary. The programme will be some- what similar to that of last year with the exception that we expect there will be discussions on threshing ma- chines and other new machinery that was not covered last. year. These courses have proved to be very useful and there has been a keen demand from all sections of the' county for such courses another year. It is on account' of this that thesé courses have been planned, A definite pro- gramme will be announced during the next week. o This is an excellent opportunity for not only junior farmers but also any- one who is working with farm ma- chinery to discuss his problems and to introduce new labour saving de- vices that he has found practical on his own farm, By the exchange of views each one benefits by such a dis- cussion, The two-day programme is practical and well worth the time spent. --_--a >> ------- _ -- CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Mrs. Lettie Demara wish to thank their many friends and" neighbours - for their kindly sympathy and thoughtful ac- tions.at the time of their sad bereave- ment in the death of Mrs. Demara.
