Ne is not very much larger than a “hot dog” now, and will grow only about twice as large as his present size. He is a toy fox terrier, all white except for a brown-black head. Members of the local unit were proudly displaying “Scrappy” before they left Tuesday night for Camp Stewart in Savannah. IS THIS YOU? Mrs. Carter Abrams, who before her recent marriage was Miss Julia Halfacre, was the young lady des cribed last week who received a quart* of ice cream. The National Guard officer, who was evidently too busy getting his unit ready to leave for camp, was Capt. T. H. Pope, Jr., who did not receive his ticket. The first description on this week’s list is the lady who lives on Mayer avenue, and works in the altering de partment of a local store. She is rather large, in size, but not too large. She wears glasses, and Mon-' day was wearing a gray dress. Second description, the lady who waved to this scribe as she was cross ing College street early Wednesday morning. She is rather tall and slim, has short wavy hair, was wearing a gray coat and black shoes. If you recognize yourself as one o fthe above, come by the Sun office by Tuesday and receive your ticket for a quart of ice cream from Stokes’ Drug store. Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Canadians for the most part agreed that this could not be determined at present by a statement of war aims. “When we take care of Hitler, there’ll be time to decide what we want,” appeared to be the prevailing viewpoint. But from several persons, includ ing soldiers, I heard the hope jhat a “common man’s peace” would term inate the war. This feeling was strong particularly in the prairie pro vinces, where the rising was pros perity has produced little change in farm income.—News and Courier.

Canadian apparently does already have become a tradition and a major problem for the,.entire dom inion. These are high-spirited and rest less youths from the mining fields, the forests and the prairies of Can ada, Royal Air Force instructors from Britain, and thousands of air force recruits from all parts of the British empire. Traveling from Vancouver, B. C., on the west coast to Montreal, I talked to many of them and I heard also of growing complaints that “the boys are getting out of hand.” Only last week end riots between soldieis and civilians occurred in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia an<* in Quebec city. In the latter disturb ance police were forced to use tear gas to quell 400 soldiers. Under the empire pilot-training program, the dominion has become the clearing - center for Britain’s air reserve. Recruits from all parts of the empire are pouring into Cana da for their training. Very few are now in overseas service, and military officers constantly are devising en tertainment and competition to keep their men busy. Even so, they ad mit, the problem of inactivity is not solved. Most Colorful Elements The first months of the war stamp ed the Australians and New Zea land recruits as the most colorful ele ments on the Canadian military scene. In this connection, the story is told of a recent escapade involving the noted English orchestra conduc tor, Sir Thomas Beoeham, aboard a liner bound for Australia to Can ada. According to fellow passengers. Sir Thomas voiced his dislike for Australifn culture until a group of young “Aussies” chased him to his cabin and there attempted to remove his snowy-white beard. Witnesses said ship’s officers ar rived to prevent the shearing, but that the conductor remained in his cabin until the ship docked. Sir Thomas never confirmed nor denied the story. We believe that farmers should do all in their power to increase pro duction. Unless all signs fail it is going to be a hungry world' that finds itself in a world-conditions that will be here during the latter part of ’41 and all of ’42. The first line of defense is not forts, trenches, mechanized armies, not vast navies and armies, but an abundance of food and feedstuffs. A nation needs first of all plenty of food, plenty of raiment. Plenty of the necessities of life. Of course the mechanized armies and the migh ty navies and great flocks of air planes are necessary to carry on dur ing wars. But armies and navies are worthless unless there be plenty of food and plenty of raiment. Suppose we give more attention to taking life’s battles seriously and pay less heed to the philosophy of a “more abundant life.” After all, life is a battle. Science teaches it; religion teaches it, and commerce approves it. It is the battling life that gives life its zest and stimulates ambition. That life is a battle gives the indi vidual the strongest possible chal lenge to do and dare. It also creates intiative and invention.-Union Times The “Aussies”, I learned are re garded as among the empire’s best flying cadets. Furthermore, Royal Canadian Air Force officers claim that a Canadian-trained pilot has no equal. This, they explained, Is a result of year-around training in the worst kind of weather conditions. Accidents are numerous during the winter but pilots emerging from the rigid course of training are declared ready for any front or emergency. Uniformed Men Everywhere Canada’s uniformed men are every where—on streets, in hotels and trains, or stationed along lonely and remote bridges and roads where sab otage is always feared. They are garbed either in the blue uniform of the R. C. A. F. or the drab "bat tle dress” of the army. That American intervention in the European conflict is not a necessary or desirable step was a viewpoint strongly evident among Canadians of nearly all classes that I met. Soldiers and civilians alike appar- netly view the United States as an arsenal whose effectiveness — dur- ST.

On Sunday morning, George Sum mer was rushed to the hospital where he underwent an operation about 12 o’clock for appendicitis. He is very sick at this writing, but his many friends wish to see him out again. The farmers have begun to till the soil, but the ground is rather wet. As soon as it gets dry enough they will be very busy. The old saying is that “the early bird catches the worm”, but it doesn’t pay to be too early in plowing when the ground is wet. In some places the grain is good, but it is not good 1 in others. The grain is spotted. I believe it is due to the cold weather, for we have had very little warm weather.

Without losing sight of its origi nal objective of eliminating freight rate differentials and other claimed “discriminations,” the Southern Gov ernors’ conference is. backing the de fense program in the present emer gency. Solidity of the South in its cam paign for freight rate parity and cemented by initial successes and Governor Frank M.

The subject is expected to receive further consid eration at a New Orleans meeting Mrach 16-17. Despite the position taken by the conference regarding this phase of preparedness activity, Govemor Dix on cited as “proof we are behind the national government in its prepared ness efforts” the fact that eight Southern governors recently signed a statement backing pending British- aid legislation.
