'l‘0day the emphasis is necessarily on the kind of training which can be put to practical use. But thc world of t3- morroiv will need, more than anything 615% V15“ ion, and brcadth of understanding and human sympathy. llow are these to be developed? There is one ivcll-tricd ivay. “The study of the classics," says lslztzlill, "teaches us to believe that there is something really great arid excellent 1n the world, surviving all the shocks of accident and fluctuations of opinion, and raises us above that low and servile fear, which bows only to present power and upstart authority.._We feel the presence of that power which gives im- iriortality to human thoughts and actions, and catch the flame of enthusiasm from all nations and ages."

The evil of Naziism that we are fighting to- day—what is it but the negation of all that this Ideal represents? _

As Dr. J. A. MscMillan pointed out in his inspiring address to the graduates at St. Duri- itan's, the basis of such training must be religi~ ous, A godless culture is the incvitablorcsult of failure to foster religious training in the young, and its leads, as sure as fate, to appalling Qnsequences.

Far Too Late

Ottawa's belated move to draft men from "non-essential" industry into agriculture and other total war production seems designed more to p133“; public opinion than anything else, gays the Financial Post. Sn far as food pro- duction is concerned, and it was hgre that the scarcity of help was most critical, the gesture comes far too late.

Qn Tuesday evening, May 11th, Officers of the Charlottetown De- tachment of the Canadian Red Cross Corp»- had the y‘ 0t attending the first Chevron Parade of the summerslde Detachment which is made up of two secttons- - Nursing Auxiliary, imd Office Ad- ministration. The complete detach- ment was inspected by thg Provin- cial Commandant, Mrs. H. L. Pal- mer, and Hon. ‘Emne A. Campbell, recently appointed Chief Justice of Prince Edward Island, who also presented the service chevrons to the twenty-seven officers and mem- bers who had given 165 hours of service and had successfully com- pleted the required courses. A clever demonstration of stretcher bearing arid first aid work was carried out; by members of the Detachment. The parade was greatly enjoyed by the many vlsitors, and especially by the officers from the Charlottetown Detachment who extended their hearty congratulations on the smart appearance of the girls and their excellent progress since the Detach- ment was formed in September 1941.

Preparations are now in progress for a second ceremonial presentat- loii of chcvroris to the members of the Chuirlomtctowm Detachment. These have been earned by the members recruited in January, 1942. Original mciriibers of the Detach- ment. who received their first chev- rons last Fall, will have earned their second on their completion, in June, of two years service, with the re- quired number of duty hours.

On Monday night. a detachment of the Corps consisting of No. 2 Platoon, Motor Transport. and No. 2 Platoon, Nursing Section. was (lraivn up on the College lawn. be- hind the saluting DHSe at which Lt. 01.

The Motor 'I‘rans- port Section takes pride 1n the act. that one of its original members, Qunrtcrmaster Sergeant. Majorie Stewart, has been selected to carry on the ivork of Secretary of the clinic.

CIVIC EXPENDITURES

Sun-I would like to commend b0 His Worship the Mayor and the members of the Charlottetown City (Xvimcll the careful reading and study of an article at page '73 of the Readers Digest for May en- titled "Inflation in Ono Easy Lesson."

It. would seem to me that much of the action of Charlottctowﬂs municipal government srlnoe the beginning of he war has had n dis- tinct; inﬂationary tendency - has been the direct opposite of the course suggest d by the Finance administration at Ottawa. who should know the best procedure for financing Canada's share of the WB!‘ effort-and a rather un- fortunate example to those of our unthinking cltizlens who do not pay much attention to these mal-

1'5

Consider the wash of gasoline and rubber by street and police trucks, consider the capital borrow- ing for paved street repairs, con- sider the bo banks for sinking funds, mn- sider the continuous increases of wages and salaries, consider ‘ht expenditures on needless trays. L: Juxiketing conventions and confer- ences, consider somc of the expen- ditures on A.R..P., consider even the raising of truokage rates, and now on top of all the proposed tn- creases on engineering and policing and accounting, the work in the two fonner departments particu- larly being infinitely less in time of war. If these things are not. iri- flatlonary there can be no meaning in the word.

Perhaps those who direct ourclty government; do not understand much of the relationship between wlrinlnz the war arid the peace. and the danger of inflation, so I hope that they may be constrained to read "Inflation in One Easy lesson."

Red Cross In Prisom s ‘ Camps "

(Christian Herald)

However well a man IIIBV be treated in enemy hands he longs for the little “extras'—lhe things which mean so much to hlm. The lack of variety in food is one of the worst hardships with which he has to contend, but the Red Cross not only hansmtts parcels sent to him from home, but also keeps hlm supplied with luxuries and comforts that bring relief to the sameness of the day by d8!’ menus. No one can fmaeine with what joy and delight the Red Cross parcels are welcomed. _

“Red Cross ls up! This familiar, stirring cry always greeted the arrival or parcels to a camp lri Wench North Africa. and sent l thousand men scrambling for their share of soap, butter, tea cocoa, sugar, meat-toll and many other good things. There was usually pinopgh food to "throw" tea par-

es

Those unfortunate men who have one one st home from whom no expect a parcel are well known to the Agency and remember-d with special lfts from time time. In th s way, regular relief

, has been brought to no less

90.000 Polish prisoners.

Parcels for British prisoners 0f war, who are smaller in number by comparison with the prisoners of other nations, are packed by the Cross and St. John Wai- Organization and forwarded by the post. office to n. where panels from the Dorntnlons also arrive in Swiss chartcred ships. mom Lisbon the parcels are car- rled through the Mediterranean to Marseilles by neutral vessels and on to Switzerland bv rail. ‘The In- ternatfonal Committee then takes rggaof the parcels and dis- u the the

cha. (rib camps.

When communications on the continent were difficult; and the regular supply of parcels was tn- ternipted the Committee, at the request of the British war Oman- lzaflon. boiiizhi and forwarded to the camps 300 tons of food for the prisoners. _ . _

And what of the many other activities of the International Com- mittee? No end of trouble is taken to care for the needs 0f the man who ls far from home and loved ones, to champion his cause and to see that his lawful wants are su pelted.

Why We Hit Duisburg

(Ottawa Journal) Nearly 2,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Duisburg on Wednesday night.

Why Duisburg? ‘b

Because Duisburg ls the largest Inland port in Europe. Roughly three-quarters of all cargoes carried on the Rhine —tlie principal traf- fic artery for coal coke and tron ore in the Rum-pass through Duis- burg, either down river to Rotter- dam or up river to Cologne, Mann- heim and Kai-lshuhe.

Growing iiiacleqtiacy of rail trans- port (German locomotives have been knocked out by the hundreds) and the reduction of road transport to s. minimum have made it necessary for the Germans to rely more und» more on water transport,

Because the tonnage of imported ore needing to be moved into the Ruhr from Sweden ls so large it ls natural that at Duisburg also there should be some of the largest steel and Iron works 1n Germany. Among tliese ame the well-known Butte Ruhrort Melderich, Huttie Vulkan, and Verelnigtc Stahlwerke Nelderr- helnlsche. Existence of large unit-s of lron and steel industries tn Duis- burg have also resultec‘. lri the de- velopment. there of the heavy en- gineering and chemical industries. Among these are metal tube plants, railway wagon plants, heavy ma- chne tool plants, and the alkali and sulphuric acid plants of Mates arid Weber.

There are those who hold that that bombing alone cannot beat Germany. That may be true; but. what ls also true 1s that bombing undoubtedly can soften up Germany so that she can be beaten more easily. Axis armies ln Tunisia were not destroyed‘ merely because the Allies had the better armies: they were beaten because the Allies had more (than better arms. There was the diminished German air force Hitler may have been prevented from thing more troops to Tun- lsla. ere was nothing to prevent hlm getting more planes there. Yet
