THE STRATFORD MIRROR "WAITS FOR BARRAGE TO LIFT Participating in Montgomery's assault against stubbornly held Ger- -man lines south of Caen, Pte. R. Pankaski of Yorkton, Sask., waits for the barrage laid down by Canadian field guns to lift before he moves forward. British and Canadian infantry moved to the attack after heavy guns had laid a terrific curtain of shells on the Hun defences which guard the roads to Paris. Robomb Hits School Children Unhurt A striking testimony to British cour- age and endurance comes to the Queen's Canadian Fund in a report of recent robot bomb incidents, sent by Miss Lulu B. Johnson of Moncton, N.B., who is now attached to a Lon- don school. Miss Johnson is one of the trained Children's Service Workers sent over- seas by the Fund to work with the child victims of enemy warfare. She is now one of the escorts to children being evacuated from London. Miss Johnson tells an _ interesting story in connection with another Lon- don school. She writes: "This story was told me by the lead- er of our escort group who is the head- mistress of a London school. "As you know, when an alert is sounded the children in our schools make for the school shelters. These are the usual class rooms on the ground floor, with blast walls in front of all windows and outside doors. "One morning recently the children were in the shelters at Bolingbroke School when the robot bombs were go- ing overhead. The bombs secemed to be falling nearer than usual, so as an extra precaution the children were sliding under their desks at the direc- tion of the assistant-head. The time came when the roar was even louder than ever -- 'Under'!,' called the teach- er, and the children 'ducked,' The school shook with the blast of an ex- plosion, windows and doors were blown in, the glass roof of the As- sembly Hall was shattered, but all the children in the shelter were safe. "Shakily arising to her feet, the as- sistant-head, looking at the scared but resolute faces of the children said, 'That was a close one, but we are all safe. Don't you think we should sing 'Now Thank We All Our God?' "One of the teachers moved over to the piano and struck the opening chords. A few minutes later, when panic-stricken and terrified parents came rushing to the school premises, they were greeted by the sound of clear young Woices raised in a song of thanksgiving." German Goal In Defeat Is To Despoil Occupied European Countries Now that there is no longer any doubt that Nazi invaders will be driven from the countries they have occupied they have set themselves one final goal, according to a report from Netherlands Information Services. That goal is to despoil the countries so thoroughly that their recovery will be hampered for years. In Holland university education has been brought to a complete standstill, and the relentless strategy of '"weed- ing out" Holland's intellectuals and future spiritual leaders is continuing with accelerated fury. With a few ex- ceptions the country's entire student body has vanished from the campus: They are either in hiding or they have been forced to join the vast army of Hollanders slaving in German war plants. It becomes more and more evident, the report goes on to say, that the Nazies have no intention of restoring the 3,000 Netherlands students now in Germany to normal life and study, even after the war. Systematically and brutally they have set out to break these boys, both physically and spiritually. And they are making good progress. Students in philosophy, theology or the sciences are put to work at lathes, hoisting cranes and other forms of physical labor. When these boys, un- accustomed to this strenuous type of work, slow down in their effort, they are sent to so-called punishment camps. From these camps there is only one exit -- the nearby cremator- ium. From the student body in any coun- try come many of the future leaders of the country, its scientists, philoso- phers, musicians; its lawyers, techni- cians, engineers, doctors. In Holland, as elsewhere, the student cannot fight for liberation of his country except through the underground movement. Nor can he pursue his courses of study. Thus he is deprived of the op- portunity of making his contribution to national life both now and in the future. ; At Northway's Just Arrived--New Shipment Daytime 1.98 You'll love these bright, cool and wonderfully tubbable ... ideal for the house and garden -- some are smartly styled to go picnicking.
