In a despatch from London by M«w York Tlm«s' correspondent, Jemea Reston, we find reasonable anweers: 1. the Finns doubted whe- Iker the 50,000 available Allied trovs» would eve<r get to Finland â€" Oenooay would have moved north to meet them with land and air tor- eea; 2. Finnish military experts doubted that Allied aid could reach there In time, even if m Interter- «Boe developed from the Ka;l quar- lar; 3. the Finns heeitated because •t their bonds with Scandinavian eountrles â€" they feared Norway and Sweden would be overrun and Scandinavia tamed Into the main hattlefield of Europe; 4. the Finns leared that If they did not sue for peace they would be kept at war In- definitely so that Russia could not k^p Germany (according to the "Ironside plan").

High in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, west of Calgary, is located Kananaskis, one of the two internment camps in Canada where alien enemies are kept under guard. Some of these aliens are shown, UP- PER LEFT, clearing underbrush and pruning trees in the forested area around the camp. The prisoners are kept oct-upied cutting v^ood for their own use. A scene inside one of the prisoners' huts is shown, UPPER RIGHT. One prisoner is busy reading and another is making a weather forecasting model. Permitted to oc- ewpy themselv^ in a variety of ways, a prisoner is shown making ash trays out of brass and copper, LOWER RIGHT, parading before taking up posts within the double rows of barbed wire surrounding the compound. In the background are seen some of the buildings in which the administrative forces are housed.

IDENTIFY GAME FIRST The hunter who makes the ex- cuse of mistaken identity when ho is arraigned in court on a charge of shooting a protected animal or bird, really has no excuse at all, according to an article in the De- partment of Game and Fisheries monthly bulletin for Januai-y and February. The article advises hunters to restrain their trigger fingers until they are sure of the identity of the game. "In Sudbury recently," the ar- ticle says, "two men pleaded guil- ty of shooting three elk in the Burwash Crown game preservo. In the course of their defence both men maintained that the elk looked like deer." The article goes on to explain those whose experience in hunting is very short, have no reason for stating that they thought an elk was a deer. The elk, both male and fe- male, is considerably larger than a deer. Refrain From Shooting "This business of mistaken id- entity, however, has a much more extensive application than just the inability to distinguish game. It becomes tragic when a hunter dis- regards one of the most important rules associated with the use of a gun for hunting purposes. Several lives were needlessly sacrifit-ed during the last year because hunt- ers failed to determine precisely, before shooting, just what they were firing at. At no time is there any similarity in appearance be- tween a man and a groundhog. "The moral of all this is that hunters who are unable to iden- tify their game should refrain from shooting." VOICE OF THE PRESS TIMES CHANGE We are constantly reminded that times change. In the old days women used to make quilts out of odd scraps of doth. Now they iiiake hats. â€" Toronto Saturday Night. AGED AUTOISTS Two men were killed at Court- land, Ont., the other day, the driv- iT of the car being eighty years old and his companion, seventy- five. It raises the question again as to whether very old people should be given licenses to drive. â€" Niaiirara Falls Review â€" oâ€" MAKING THEM MEET Up to now farmers have strug- gled to secure enough income to pay the price that others ask. The same or even a better standard of living could be maintained if we put a like effort into getting oth- er prices down to what we are able to pay with the income we have. â€" ^Farmer's Advocate â€" o â€" SPRING IS COMING Every man has his own method of sighting spring. The romantics look for sunshine, singing birds, and babbling brooks. The garden- era wait impatiently for frost to leave the ground. Others are cheered by the appearance of marbles on the sidewalk. The as- tronomers point with glee to the lengthening hours of daylight. Not all these signs have yet become evident, but there is a growing agreement that spring is definite- ly on the way. â€" Halifax Chronicle No Trace Of Halliburton Richard Halliburton, American adventurer and writer, sailed a year ago th'.s month f-.on. Hong Kong for fa;:. Francisco in a Chin- ese junk. Ahead of tim were thousan^ls of miles of c levtu and the expec- tation of a great welt-ome at the Golden Gate International Exposi- tion. March 24, 1939, he and his 65- foot craft and his 14 crew mem- bers vanished in a heavy storm 1,200 miles northwest of Midway Island. Passenger vessels looked for him, and the U. S. cruiser Astoria scanned 152,000 square miles of the Pacific. No trace of the junk was ever found.
