Admired Canadian Boys Texas Recalls Quality Of Troops Stationed There Years Ago “fhe Fort Worth, Texas, Star-Tele-

gram, says:

Arrival of the vanguard of the Canadian Expeditionary Force in, Great Britain was news that had a familiar ring to many Fort Worth people, who recall the early days of the World War when the “Canucks” were stationed at the three flying fields near this city.

The Canadian youths at the three fields won both the respect and friendship of residents of this sec- tion. If their two outstanding qual- ities could be singled out, they prob- ably were good manners and a sense of loyalty to their country. Duty was an obligation automatically per-

formed by a “Canuck”, whether he’

was an enlisted man or an officer.

Polish Persecution

Brutal Methods Adopted Towards University Teachers

The publication Science quotes

from the Times of London an ac- count of an incident that would have seemed incredible if it had not been’ vouched for by high authority. That it occurred in the University of Crawcow, where Copernicus pur- sued his studies, makes the act more abhorrent. “AN the members of the teaching staff of the university were asked to attend a conference at which a German professor was to explain the German attitude towards the Polish scientists. The lecturer be- gan “in most vulgar manner to slan- | der Polish scholars and Polish scien- tists”, whereupon all the Polish pro- | fessors (160 in number) left the| hall, only to find heavy lorries await- | ing them at the door.

They were all arrested, deported to Germany, and interned in a con-} centration camp. Among them were | scholars of highest distinction, in- | cluding a world-famous economist who has since died at the hands of the Gestapo; a noted: philologist, a distinguished jurist and a leading historian. Nearly all the’ universi- ties of Great Britain, beginning with Oxford and Cambridge, have sent | expressions of sympathy and indig- nation.—-New York Times.

Now. Receiving Hundreds Of Letters

From Sympathizers In Canada

Hundreds of letters and more than a score of parcels soon will be on their way to “the loneliest man in Aldershot,” a Canadian soldier whose parents are pacifists and who has not had a letter from his family since he joined the army.

A Canadian Press story from Al- dershot on Feb. 7 telling of the young man’s disappointment as he walked from.the barracks post-office empty-handed touched the hearts of newpaper readers across Canada. Hundreds of letters and numerous parcels have been sent to the news- papers. ;

One Toronto paper, which printed | an invitation to write to the soldier with the Aldershot story, had re- ceived more than 400 letters and a score of parcels.

Lacking the soldier's name _ be- cause he had concealed it to protect his parents, the newspapers appeal- ed to The Canadian Press and the news organization London bureau was cabled.

Back came a reply. that any let- ters or parcels sent to the loneliest soldier in care of The Canadian Press, 20 Tudor St., London, E.C. 4, would be forwarded to him.

Tender Meat New Method Adopted To Change The Toughest Meat Before many moons, according I the scientists, tough roast beef or beef steak will be as uncommon as; buggy whips and handlebar mous- es. ... In carrying out the tenderizing, the meat is hung at living room tem- peratures in humid rooms lighted by these ultra-violet lamps.

A Land Of Dwarfs

What the world was like to his countrymen in the 15th century is shown by a map owned by Kenneth Ch’en, Chinese instructor at the Uni- versity of Hawaii. The map, drawn by Matteo Ricci, depicts Burope as a land of dwarfs one foot tall who

‘considered themselves old at the age

of eight.

‘Where Upward Is

“Upward” is away from the cen- tre of gravity, and out in space there is no absolute “above or ‘below’. Inhabitants of the earth and the! moon could be looking directly at each other, and each would be gaz- ing straight up, away from the gravity centre of his own planet.

weekly newspaper, “Le Jour,” said, ; addressing the Toronto Empire club. * With the investment of millions of dollars of European and American money, Canada must expect a vast industrial development which would bring hundreds of thousands of im- migfants as soon as the war is over. “The men who bring this money,” he contirrued, “are going -to bring their own industrial methods and, to a certain extent, their own em- ployees.. This we cannot prevent, since we simply have not the popu- lation to fill the jobs which are go-

ing to be created here. during the next five years.” Becaus¢é of this the 3,500,000

French-speaking Canadians and the 5,000,000 English-speaking Cana- dians must draw together in all fields where they could act as a unit, “We must lay the basis of an all- Canadian civilization strong enough to assimilate, not only the 2,500,000 so-called foreigners we have now, but the many thousands who are as good as here."

As one of the steps he favored with the objective of unity, Mr.! Harvey said he would “educate the

masses and apply pressure toward the maintenance of the power and prestige of the central government, | since that government alone is the bond of Canadian unity and it alone upholds the Great Charter of our! freedom.”

Mr. Harvey said English-speaking citizens Should not overlook the fact that the 5,000,000 Canadians of Anglo-Saxon descent, though they controlled the economic life of the Dominign, were not a homogenous group and did not see eye to eye even among themselves on man® problems.

On the other hand, the 3,500,000 Canadians of French descent were to all intents a unit and, though not powerful enough economically to im- pose the policies they wanted, they -were powerful enough numerically to block the adoption of any policy they did not like.

However, as shown the last Quebec provincial election, “they are} always ready and willing to co-oper- ate for the interests of the nation as) a whole provided the appeal is made in the name of Canada,” he said. “This, I am afraid, is more than can | _ be claimed for powerful elements in the so-called Anglo-Saxon group . .. Quebec's atttitude in these elections ‘must be met by an equally broad) attitude on the part of English- Speaking Canadians.”

Link In Empire Chain Prime Minister Of Northern Ireland Proclaims Loyalty Of People

Viscount Craigavon, Prime Min-| ister of Northern Ireland, said in an| address broadcast to Great Britain, Northern Ireland “is a link in the Empire chain which will never give way before the King's enemies.”

“We are the King’s men,” he said. | “We will be with you to the end.”

Since the outbreak of war, he de-| clared there had been a Steady re! sponse to the call for volunteers to} regiments famous in Northern Ire-| land history.

“Around our rockbound and tur-| bulent coast; he said, “some of the) finest seamen in the kingdom have} been bred and born.” |

Pointing out that in time of peace} Northern Ireland sends Great -Bri-| tain cattle, sheep, pigs, eggs, bacon} and potatoes, the Prime Minister continued: AN |

“It is now our aim to increase our | contribution to, the common larder and to render the greatest possible assistance within our power to aug- menting the nation’s food production.

We plan to plow a quarter million additional acres of land this. year. In| addition we are planning a sub; stantially larger acreage of flax.”

To Amuse Guests

New York Hotel Employs Hungarian Who Picks Pockets Expertly

So many people stole Giovanni's

trapeze act that he left the circus to

do a little stealing himself. He took up picking pockets. He learned the trade so well, in

fact, that he now makes a comfort- able living at it, being employed to amuse guests by one of New York's swank hotels and defying all police efforts to detect the workings of his njmble fingers.

He has lifted scores of wrist male victims; taken their wallets and small change; and injury by re-, their suspenders’ without their knowledge—-at the moment. | They know it when the pants begin to slip. }

Giovanni says he has stolen--and returned, of course--articles from) everyone up to King George VI. and the world’s richest man. He took the latter's suspend- ers and the only money in his poc-! a shilling.

“I don't know which he yelled the

jloudest for,” Giovanni said, “the braces or the shilling.” Giovanni, a Hungarian, who came

‘up from childhood with a Russian

circus, speaks 14 languages and’ was a general interpreter with the Ital- jan Army during the First Great | War.
