Heaven’s in sight, where my People sent me. “Auf Wiedersehen.” Adolph Hitler (the Truthful). To the surprise of the Nazis the poem achieved the Widest popularity in the occupied section where it was first published. It was accepted with an enthusiasm that at first fed the vanity of the Nazi egotists. Agents of the Gestapo watched the people read the poem silently and grimly at first, but on second reading there would be smiles and chuckles and eyes would dance with mis- chief and understanding. It took the stupid Nazis a long time to discover the secret of the popularity of this parti- cular poem and when the solution eventually was made, the hum-ourless Huns wreaked vengeance on all and sundry. The secret was that the oppressed people had passed the word around among themselves that the proper way to read this poem was to read the first line, and then every second line. Mohandas K. Gandhi, the Indian leader who devel- oped the technique of civil disobedience, urges the peoples of invaded and occupied countries to adopt a policy of “non-violence and non-cooperation.” ' Gandhi still wants complete independence for India, but he wants Britain to Win the war, too. “Even Hitler, whom God sent as a deserved curse on mankind because of their ungodly ways, wouldn’t cope with genuine civil disobedience,” Gandhi told the United Press in an interview on the occasion \of his 73rd birth- day. In all the countries occupied by Hitler and his gang- sters the censorship is very rigid and severe. There is pathetic truth in the saying that the people cannot even call their souls their own. The slightest complaint or criticism brings dire punishment. Despite all this, howâ€" ever, the oppressed peoples find ways and means to ex- press their thoughts and feelings. One story illustrating this fact comes in a roundabout way via New Zealand. A poet in one of the occupied lands published some verse‘ that passed the Nazi censors. At first, the Huns were inclined to encourage the circulation of the poem as it seemed to them to place their idol, Hitler, in favourable light. The poem read as follows:â€" I Adolp Hitler, on this, my deathbed, Am suffering bravely great pain. I Wish to make it known to all that I’m Not as the ancient King Herod wasâ€" A murderer of women and children. I Have no sympathy for the Poles, who Have fought and lost a useless war I’ve worked in the interests of, and not Against humanity. I have used my people For the welfare of the Fatherlandâ€"Not For my own ends. I’ve proven myself It was inevitable when war production started ex- panding that the day would come when it became necessary to drastically reduce production for domestic needs. This means that Canadians will have to try to get aIOng With- out things they have become used to. It may seem a hardâ€" ship at times, but after all no matter how much people at home are asked to give up it will still rank as a small sacrifice compared to those on the fighting front and so all should be willing to do their part. “We have now come to the stage," Mr. Ilsley warned, “Where the choice between guns and butter must affect the average man and woman in Canada. We must accept a temporary reduction in our average standard of living if we are to achieve the necessary standard of fighting. We cannot possibly hope to live as well as most of us are used to living and fight a total war at the same time.” The co-operation that people at home have been asked to give so far is to save all they can afford through war loans, give all they can to war charities, salvage all poss- ible raw materials, and help others to do lthe same. It is not, of course. always a popular course for a minister to tell peopFe unpleasant truths. But the major- ity of people would prefer to learn what is to be expected of them and, in view of the reasons, none can refuse any- thing short of full coâ€"operation. Outside of some price increases and volunteer appeals for loan-savings to help the war financing, Canadians at home have felt very little, if any, economic pinch from the war. As Mr. Ilsley warned this is a condition Which can not last if war production is to go on at full speed ahead â€"â€" as everyone knows it must in order that all possible backing may be given those fighting the menace of Hitlerism and aggression” It would be well for the people of Canada to take full heed of the warning given by the Hon .J. L. Ilsley, Federal Minister of Finance, 'at Halifax recently when he pointed out that further belt tightening on the home front was essential for'a greater war effort.

During this period another medi- cal man (probalbly a half pay off- ice-r) ‘bought a farm in- York Town- ship, three miles from Thornlhill, and his tragic story is related in “Oh- servations on Professions, Litera- ture, Manners and Emigration in the United. States and Canada.” This book (now out of print and hard 'to obtain) was written by the Rev. Isa-ac Fidler who spent a few months in Thormhill in 1832 as minister of Trinity church. Dr. M as he is described. had moved in the highest .cincles in England “but his new home amid the clearing of a lofty forest was of «such arr hurmlble nature, that he discouraged any social overtures. The Rev. Isaac Fidler resolved to call upon him nevertheless and walked there one day only to find the poor man mortally ill with asi- atiic cholera. There was only one room in the house and he lay im a little cubicle curtainied‘ off at one end. He died shortly afterwards and being a military man, was accorded a suitable [funerali at York.
