THUKSTON, Edltar. unit ill any district is to be coni- mi-ndvd and all able-bodied men are urged to join. While it is hupeu that it will never be needed an iti> euunterpart is in England, it will have a tendency to increase the war- conciousnea of the people, which is liard to arouse when there is so little activity amongst the armed t'ruund forces in England. J HYSTERIA IS ABSENT Saturday and Sunday nights the CJfrman air force went "all out" in ats bombing attaeloi upon England and reports from London are to the •effect that hundreds were killed and that khousands were wounded in the air attack on that city. This is only what was expected from the first of the war and the wonder is that the attacks did not commence prior to this time. Britain is all that lies in front of Hitler's path to world â- domination and he will do his best to brush aside the opposition and •continue with his victories. But he has to compete with an indomitable British spirit that does not know de- feat, which will prove superior to Hitler's ruthless warfare as prac- tised in Poland and the other coun- tries that have fallen to his force ol arms. Brtain is going steadily amassing armaments and machinery of war, preparatory to that day when she must show that she is mistress of the land and air as well as the aea. The British people are show- ing a wonderful calmness under the intense bombardment and their de- termination to see this throttgh will surmount the effects of the havoc â- wrought by the enemy planes. HITCH-HIKING SOLDIERS The problem of soldiers hitch hiking along the highways on week end leave to their homes has been receiving the attention of the auth orities and newspapers during the past couple of weeks. Several fatal accidents have occurred to soldiers using this method |to reach (their homes and comment has been made that the grovernment and railways should give the men fa.-?'s i Vir V.i •various lines free .i -ta-i^v io Ihi men, contending t'.. â- .

Th-; men , viv^ j i;-,v;i own problem by hitch-hiking and the car owners entered into the spirit ol the game and were glad to assist the soldiers along their way. Many men prefer to travel that way, as it takes Ciiem to their destination quicket and with more enjoyment. But the man several hundred miles from his home is at a great disadvantage in regard to transportation, especially «n his last leave that makes it a hardship for him to spend his last leave with his family. The private in the ranks cannot afford to pay his own transportation, especially if he is a married man, and it is the gen- eral opinion of the public that the government should give more consid- eration to this problem that it has done in the past. •2TH LINE, OSPREY Again we hear the school bells ol S.
