We had to put up quite a fight and got orders to retreat it got so hot for us and we lost all our transport trucks and belongings. I got orders to set fire to the truck I was driving and then run. I do not think I ever ran as fast before and never expected to see Canada again as they were firing at us from all sides. It certainly was quite an experience. They gave the 48th a good write up in the papers and call us the Fighting 48th. I am driving a transport most of the time and have a lot of scouting to do. They have 2 drivers to each truck. We got three days leave last week and three of us went to London where we stayed at the Victoria League Club, Malet Street. ‘ We do all our own *washing. I washed a shirt for John Coulson and he said he would marry me when his wife died. We consider ourselves very lucky to be alive after such an experience in” France but are glad to be able to help our country. After examining the teeth of over 5000 American wild animals, scient- ists of the University of California ,have decided that bears are the only wild animals that suffer from tooth- ach-e. Our next leave we are going to Scotland where we hope to see Aber- deen and InverneSs. How is Ted Grainger, Alex Cruickshank, Tom Allison and everybody. Hope Bob Michael keeps well. Tell them to write to me. My watch is keeping splendid time and when 10nely I look at it and think of all the nice friends who gave it to me. The following is an extract from an interesting letter received from Pte. Jack Daunt of Richmond Hill now overseas with the 48th High- landers. [his Strange World An American tennis player has bitten his own throat.‘ In slipping on wet grass, he clamped his jaws so hard that his bridgework was smashed. Then he swallowed the broken plate, which “bit” him on the way down. BENITO’S FEAST Mussolini is going to have to eat a great many words before this war is over. One mouthful that is likely to be thrust down his throat was uttered on May 5, 1936. when, in laying down the line Italy intended to follow in Ethionia. he declared: “The defeated and fugitive chiefs and rasses no longer count, and no force in the world can ever make them count again." He may find within the next few months that they still do count, that if they fled be- fore a mechanized armv they could not understand, they fled so that they may fight another day.â€"(From the Montreal Star.) Mrs. Bessie Polshow told a Los Angeles divorce judge that her hus- band took along another woman friend on their honeymoon. She won a divorce.

Life’s most embarrassing moment came to Harold Jacson, of Marissa, 111., when he Was perched‘at the top of a tall stepladder.

Father Heslin whose church near Trout River is in the U.S.A., and who has many Quebec parishioners, had to hire a building that stands right atop the border, for worship. The altar is exactly on the border; on the Canadian side of the building his Canadian parishion- ers kneel for Mass and on the Amer- ican side kneel Americans. A gaping hole was made in the hull of a Danish motor fishing boat in a collision near the Farce Islands, but the skipper and crew stuffed bedding in the hole to keep Out the water, and the boat reached a Brit- ish port safely. PTE. JACK DAl'NT \VRITES FROM OVERSEAS The W.A. have postponed the cold meat supper they were planning till a future date. Further notice later.

By far the greater part of this amount is made up of dona- tions, small and large, from indivi- duals motivated by a desire to help the war effort outside of contribu- tions made through regular channels of taxation. Numerous donations come from the United States. An American Sends in five dollars to help refugee children with the comment: “Trust- ing that the British Empire will soon conquer Germany and that the chil- dren will be able to return to their homeland.” “Being Canadian born, though liv- ing in the U.S., I find it my duty to make this contribution," says a nurse. The contribution: $100. An American citizen who enjoyed a pleasure trip through the Canad- ian West last year sends along $100 as part of the money he would have spent had he been able to return to Canada for a‘ vacation this year. From Nova Scotia comes the widow’s mite in the words of the lady who sent along the donation: “As you-know my salary is not large First African Woman: “So husband has left you again?” . I'am a widow. I would like to give more, but really can’t see my way clear to do it â€" (the widow’s mite).” Second African Woman: “Yes up to his old treks.” NATIONS TOTAL Men’s and Boys Furnishings Boots and Shoes We invite you to make this store headquarters for your clothing requirements.

CRAIGIE your THURSDAY, AUGUST 8th, 1940 YOUNG’S Service Station YONGE ST. Anti-war sentiment among Ameri- can youth, and especially in the c011- eges, owes much to that famous 0x- ford Pledge of half a dozen years ago in which a supposedly repre- sentative body of British university youth took the vow not to fight for King and country. Not long after this vote the Oxford Union adopted another resolution proclaiming the Red Flag as its favorite flag. That second vote, as far as one recalls, did not find many imitators in this country, but the Oxford pledge in modified form swept American cam- puses like wildfireâ€"(From the New York Times.)
