The Veterans' Guard of Canada has a vital job im Canada's war effort. The personnel of the Guards, all of vwshom are veterans of the Great War, assume charge of internment camps where Axis prisoners captured at the various fronts are concen- trated for safekeeping until after the war. Recruiting officers who were here this week in connection with the War Poster display at the city hall, said that there is also an urgent need for women to serve in the Canadian Wo- men's Army Corps. Every woman en- listed frees a man for a more import- ant duty and there is not a job on the home front occupied by a male soldier today that could not be assum- ed by a member of the C. W. A.

A great many of my lay friends are artists at least in desire; they can talk a picture but they can't paint one, and of such is the kingdom of art criticism. None of them is the type of picture lover who doesn't know anything about art but knows what he likes. They all know what they like and don't like anything. One of them always criticizes a pic- ture upon the ground that the painter has put too much upon his canvas, His favorite condemnation is that the painter doesn't know what to leave out, and the other day one of the art- ist members came back at him with the following story: A celebrated painter lost his mind, no doubt from trying to follow' the suggestions of his critical friends. He was confined in an institution and was given canvas, paints and brushes to keep him quiet. When he received visitors they always: found him in con- templation of a bare canvas. "This," he would announce, "is my latest masterpiece." "What does it represent?" the friend would inquire. "Why, that's obvious," the artist would say, regarding the vacant can- vas admiringly. "It represents the passage of the Israelites through the Red Sea." . "But where is the sea?" "It has been driven back." "And where are the Israelites?" "They have crossed over." "But how about the Egyptians?" "The Egyptians will be here direct- ly," he would conclude, covering the bare canvas. "They haven't arriyed yet." "T saw you the other day at the corner of Hollywood and Vine wink- ing at the girls." "T wasn't winking. That's a windy corner. Something got in my eye." "She got in your car, too," "Do you have a character refer- ence?" "Yes. Old Man Dugan." "Do you think he is a good refer- ence?" "Well, he's a character."

ALBANS, Vt., Feb. 4.-- Four steel Central Vermont railway bridges, twisted and torn from their founda- tions and hurtled into the streams be- low, during the Vermon flood of 1927, and the New England hurricane of 1938, have been contributed to the na- tional steel scrap salvage pile for use in war effort. Their estimated weight is 650 tons. When the Central Ver- mont was rebuilt after the great flood of 1927 no efforts were made to sal- vage the three steel bridges in Ver- mont, as time did not allow, so tem- porary structures were thrown across the streams and later replaced with new steel bridges. These bridges spanned the Winooski and White Rivers. The Central Vermont also released to the government the steel from the destroyed Connecticut River bridge at East Northfield, Mass., which went out during the hurricane of 1938 and was replaced. The steel in this bridge alone is estimated at 150 tons. NEW ADDRESS-- STAN. BECKNER IMPERIAL SERVICE STATION Huron and Mornington Sts. Phone 835 Stratford, Ont. Repairing As Usual NOTICE!
